Blockbuster Fatigue - WTF is it?

[Barry Zuckercorn]

Just watched the channel 7 sports segment where Bucks does his weekly footy tips. This week, Bucks focused on the Carlton v Collingwood game and mentioned that this will be Collingwood's 4th big game in a row so they have to overcome the "dreaded blockbuster fatigue".

Now I've been following footy for just over 20 years and this and have never heard of this blockbuster fatigue... Has anyone heard of it and does anyone know how a blockbuster is more tiring than your standard game?

Do the players have to go around and shake the hands of everyone in the crowd? Do they have a kick outside the ground with all the people? How does it work exactly?

More importantly, can I ring up my law firm and say "Reginald, I wont be coming into work today old boy. I have unfortunately been struck down by a severe case of the dreaded blockbuster fatigue and am feeling rather f***ed".

If you can get a medical certificate from a Doctor mate, yeah you could probably pull it off.

Get them to ring up and say it's highly contagious and One needs at least 5 days to recover from it.

Worst. Excuse. Ever.

If its such a horrible thing, stop playing them. Share the wealth.

Kangaroos v Hawthorn would sell out ANZAC day.

Blockbuster Fatigue = Malthouse Giving another pathetic excuse as to why his team wasn't good enough.

Solution = Sack the old man, he's passed his used-by date.

Blockbuster fatigue is when Malthouse has a nana nap during the game.
