Corey's Hamstring

Being back home has brought back into my life one of my great loves - Aussie Rules!
When we arrived home I wanted to wait a few weeks before I started playing again, which I did. But it wasn't too long until footy got the better of me, so I pulled the boots on and began about midway through the season.

I played a couple of reserves games which was great fun. I was even lucky enough to play in a win with the reserves! We defeated Queenscliffe by quite a lot. It was such a great day. The seniors won that day too.

After playing in the reserves I was stoked to be called up to the seniors and have been playing the majority of my games there.
I've been really enjoying my football - well, what was left of the season anyway. We had a win in the seniors against Barwon Heads. The reserves won that day also.
So up until last week I was having a great time...

Last week we played Drysdale. I was on and off the bench for the first quarter and a the start of the second and in the third quarter, we started to put up a bit of competition and play well.
I was really enjoying the game and having a lot of fun until the start of the last quarter.
I ran off the wing through the centre after a ball up and got a handball from Hicksy and as I went to run off, I felt this painful 'pop' in my left leg. I still had the footy so I quickly got rid of it and by this stage the pain was quite bad.

I realised that I've pulled my hamstring.

I've never done this injury before so it was quite a strange experience.
This has ended my football for the year. There is only two games left which is good but I would have loved to keep playing.
Next year...

I bet he does! He'll have to come do a pre season with Nick, Dave and I and whoever else decides they're up for playing next year.
Hope you guys are going well. We're looking forward to hanging out when you get home.
What are you going to do if Geelong get in the grand final? There's talk of you guys coming home! True or false?
