Paint It (Red, White &) Black

Molly Meldrum’s Richmond fence is painted again.  It must be September.  And St.Kilda must be in the Finals.  Well, we know that. But hey it’s a ritual, and I look forward to it.  It makes my drive down Highett Street that little bit more colorful, especially if the traffic’s banked up. 

Molly must be excited.   “Minor Premiers 2009”.  But Molly, it is a long way to the top if you want to win a grand final, and it has been a long and winding road for your team.  “Since 1966”, Molly says.  No faces of players this year, no pictures just words.

Mistah seems bemused.  He’s never met Molly, but he’s been past quite a lot, on his way to the park.  He gets on a lot better with Geelong supporters, Gem’s dad Tony (Legge) is one.
