How good is footy?

Here's a question I'm often asked:
"Ernst, How good is footy?"
Last night, tired & emotional at the 'G, I had an answer:
"Not that good!"
One shocking quarter and big team wide dose of the kicking yips did all the damage.
I found some consolations:
*The Dons are young and the lesson will do us good
*The Pies are actually pretty good, so not too much shame in losing
*Didak is in my fantasy footy team,
But still it hurt (though not as much as ANZAC Day hurt your pie fan!)
