I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour ...

With the Dockers on their way to an unlikely victory against bottom-placed Essendon last night, I got a little tipsy and, with good ol' Freo 5 goals ahead, fell asleep on the couch 15 minutes out from the fulltime siren.

After the game, when I awoke, my other half told me Freo had lost, in a thriller, by two points.

Thank God she was lying.
