RETURN FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES 6 REBOOTED
Picket Fence. Thanks very much the gates are open again and about 70 or so Dees fans in attendance. There are scribes with I. Pads, people with note pads scribbling away, interestingly Ive never used notes or anything else whilst compiling my reports, so there ya go. Oh wait hold the phone, this report just keeps on getting wackier and more way out, like a drug induced stupor.. There in fron of my eyes is Charleton Heston ( AKA Taylor) from the original "Planet of The Apes"What is he doing here?? Hello Taylor whats going on man why are you here and how are you here?
Taylor" And who might you be?? You like like a B grade extra in a Z Grade cheap flick"
P.F '' Yeah thanks for that, I'm here doing a footy training report my name is Picket Fence"
Taylor " A gumshoe eh"? Well Fence I'll tell you what Im doing here, the producers are casting for some Ape's for the next installment and sent me back from the future ( Sound familiar ?ED) to get some from a place called LuliePie"
P.F LULIEPIE ????? sounds terrible, I think I'll just stick to the old Fourntweenties thanks"
Taylor. These Luliepies are totally life like and are exactly what the producers need coz they dont need any makeup and walk exactly like the apes on the set. They look like this
P.F "Ok, I know the script I'll take you there on one condition!"
Taylor" And whats that????
P.F "Talk to the producers and get me a big Acting Gig in the big apple"
Taylor " Done"

2 Random player ground ball gets and then precision passing to leading forward option
3 Rotating forward entries from centre transitions to forwards leading with one on one defenders as checkers spoilers
4 Whole ground manoeuvers from back to forward
PLAYER WATCH
SHACHE Standout player today for mine took several strong contested grabs againast quality defence May and Thommo and perhaps the penny has dropped about being more hungry and agresive at the ball
Mc ADAMS Um sorry I don't buy this fitness lacking thing , he is an excitment machine who figured in goals and knows where to run and go
WOEWODIN Continues to improve and looks confident and strong
JED ADAMS Looked pretty composed by hand and foot and could surprise
BILL LAURIE Trained very well and generally disposes well, but I'm not sure he has the X factor needed
KOOYONG KOLT We have a goodun in this guy,punches well above his weight and at one stage provided 3 pressure acts in a row and resulted in a turnover. A lot to like
MARTY HORE For some reason he just looks like he's ready to go, works well into a contest and disposal is very sound
ANDY MONIZ -WAKEFIELD Some serious X Factor, involved and very skilled in linking up.
As you would expect MAX, LEVER, MAY, THOMMO,RIVERS, KOZZY NIBBLER, et al all trained as seasoned pro's
HIGHLIGHT..... A drone was hovering over Bowsers head and he thought swatting it was a good idea, got close but no cigar.. Funny to see though.
Drills are a lot more corridor based and feature the ability to a) Select the best option in traffic b) Execute skills to best advantage. Its coming together and the intensity is definately obvious
Cheers P.F
