And it came to pass that a great pestilence descended on the ancient city of Melbourne,
and none of its inhabitants were untouched.
And some were heard to cry out in strange tongues.
And every 7 days the young men of the city would meet in combat. And each Thursday 3 wise men would sit in judgement and the wise men were
John, Robert and Loui
And their judgement was delivered,
In LEAGUE TEAMS
APPLAUSE.
Bob Davis, "Hello everyone welcome to league teams, Jack, Your looking particularly well, Loui when didn't you look well"!?
Loui, "When I got home late after a card game at Jack's, Edna gave me a serve that is still ringing in my ears".
Jack Dyer, "Well Lou your ears are big enough looks like you've gone ten rounds with Maha, MAAARHU, MARHAMUD OH BUGGER IT I'll just call him Cassius Clay"!
Bob, (Laughing like a Hyena), "Ok you two that'll do, we got some serious business to attend to attend to tonight"
Lou, "That's right, I gotta tell ya, that word has reached us about a sensational football team that has turned the corner, who are playing Ringer Ding Ding Footy and its not the team that we know"!
Jack, "Give us a Hint, it aint the Demons is it"??
Bob, Well you know Loui, I've been saying it for a long time now, This Max Gawn led team is playing very accomplished Football". "Hey Jack can you spell accomplished"?
Jack, "Accomplished?? They never taught us that at Richmond tech, But I'll say this that Simon Goodwin has taken a team of very good , ordinary footballers and turned them into superstars"!
Bob, "Well just before we get onto the team Loui has got a recipe for us , What is it tonight Lou"?
Lou, "Edna's great friend put me onto this its called Quiche"
Jack, "Quiche??? Sounds like Egg and Bacon Pie to me"
Lou, "The only pie like Jack is a Fourntwenty"!
Jack, "Oi"
Ive heard from the Demonland correspondent Picket Fence who has filled this report before tommorrow nights game and here it is Jack better put your reading glasses on!
Stuck in the Middle with You
Stealers Wheel
Well I don't know why I came here tonight.
I've got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs.
Clowns to the left of me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do.
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face.
Losing control and running all over the place.
DOGGIES to the left of me!
CARLTANKERS to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.
When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that your a self-made man.
Ooooo-ooo-oooh
And your friends they all come crawling,
Slap you on the back and say
Please . . .
Please . . .
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I see it makes no sense at all.
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
I don't think that I can take anymore.
Clowns to the left of me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you . . .
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you . .
ALELUIA, FINALLY some great music was being played during this mornings Captains Run before the game vs Carltank tomorrow night, Stuck in the middle was top of the list , but closely followed by Hotel California, Boys of Summer, Living on a prayer, and other "Classic' Rock tunes.
NO SHOWS, INJURIES
Steven May did some but not all drills and ran some fast laps but didn't look in discomfort or injured. From last Week Weeds was a no show which means he probably would not play tomorrow night.
SKILLS , DRILLS AND MANOUVERS.
Light session focusing on finesse and precision was the order of this sparkling training session today. probably went for about 1.5 hours
DRILL 1 3/4 Ground ball movement emphasizing running to space creating the loose man and overlaps, this session was non contact based on what I saw which would be normal for a day before session I would imagine. Only token gesture harassments from coaches was seen
DRILL 2 Goalkicking from every conceivable position Gawd there were some "Freakish" goals kicked which were made to look like "Bread and Butter" hopefully we can still kick the ones which are "Bread and Butter"!
DRILL 3 A Short handball Drill B Centre Clearance work with midfield rotations C Short kicks to presented player options
OBSERVATIONS PLAYER PERSONEL
Jack Viney, Fritta,Jake Lever are all FIT and should play! Clarry NO issues with his dislocated finger of last week, Interesting that Oscar Baker and Jayden Hunt all trained indicating that they may form part of an extended bench, no other out of left field players were seen. It appears that Kossy might play more midfield minutes given he was doing some of the Mid field rotations Training.
FINAL THOUGHTS Given the intensity of training over the last weeks I cannot see Carltank getting anywhere near us tomorrow. It seems that Goody will go with a "Full Strength" team which prepares us magnificently for the fist Game vs Dishlickers. I like the fact that, to get a game you must keep up standards and maintain an intensity which rewards with game time, a innate knowledge that if you play to the game plan expected that you will be rewarded handsomely and emphatically by winning games, being part of something greater than self and understanding that consistency buys greatness!
