Last night I had a lot of fun with my housemates, Campbell Heath and Shane Mumford.
It started off with wrestling. Cambo and I are like brothers, always wrestling, and we can’t stop laughing no matter what we’re doing.
If Mummy does wrestling too we’re in trouble, he’s so big.
Anyway, Mummy decided Cambo and I were plotting to play some tricks on him, so he came outside where we were and started throwing water on us and soaked Cambo.
So we ganged up on Mummy and it went on from there… Maybe I better not say too much because it got a bit messy.
I come from a big family, four brothers and a sister and heaps of cousins, and we were always wrestling and mucking around.
My housemates made it much easier for me to get past homesickness pretty quickly. I was only homesick for a couple of nights and then after I got to know Cambo and Mummy and my other housemate, Byron Sumner, we all bonded together pretty quickly.
We make everything turn fun.
Cambo and me, we play a lot of Playstation. We play the FIFA soccer game so much that we always know what move the other one is going to make. We read each other pretty easy now. If there’s a penalty shoot out, he knows which way I’m going to kick it.
I'm scoring a few goals in Playstation…
It was good to have another win, against North Melbourne last Saturday. I felt tired before the game, my legs felt heavy, it was just one of those days. I remembered what Kirky and the other boys said about pushing through and I just thought of a way to get around it.
I thought if I just get my first kick, my confidence will be right up and once I run more it will be better. So that’s what I did and I got more confidence and once I got the ball I kept running and running.
You might have seen I had a set shot for goal. Tadhg kicked it to me and when I marked it I tried not to smile. So I calmed right down, relaxed, relaxed, and walked back slowly and thought I have to get my ball drop right.
But when I was walking in the ball hit my knee and stuffed up my momentum and stuffed up everything and I knew straight away it was going for a point.
