OVER the last few weeks I have been feeling a lot better and I think my footy has improved because of it. I probably went a bit hard early on when I still wasn’t feeling 100 per cent and my form fell away a little bit, but it's good to be finally getting a few kicks and knocking on the door for a league game, fingers crossed.
I spoke to a few people who had glandular fever before and they all said it really knocked them around, but I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. It certainly does zap you of your energy, though, and it makes it hard to find the motivation to get up and going. It was pretty tough, but luckily now I am feeling a lot better and it's all going well. It's getting to the pointy end of the year and the reserves will play finals and the league side is pushing to finish somewhere between third and fifth, so I just want to be part of it in some way.
