I Am...

I am the Cyril Rioli of 2015
I wonder if some one cares in this world
I hear the crowd roar as I kick goal of the year
I see them raise the flags for a goal
I want to be the best
I pretend to be the tiger playing for the pack
I feel the tickle of mud on my leg
I worry that I won't get a goal on the weekend
I hope the mighty tigers win the flag
I try to make Dunolly win, but sometimes I fail.
I wish that I could see Richmond play
I understand that footy isn't everybody's sport
I say that Richmond will win the Grand final
I dream that I wear the yellow and black
I imagine the Sherrin in my hands
I believe the grand final will be a tiger and docker showdown
I am the footy master!
I am Alex.
