Tarax Club

Round the twist, Lemony Snicket’s and Dance with your Sister. School hols are just about over at Casey Fields. Now, if some of these blokes can translate the vacation promise to term one. Tom Campbell is standing in for head prefect Maxwell Gawn who’s in rehabilitation at the moment with Matron. Who caan’t get a word in edgeways despite the fractured larynx. Young Will Verrall’s been thrown in the deep end. He’s recently been promoted from junior school, it shows. Big Tom sings the chorus line from Monty Python with gusto “ I’m a lumberjack and l’m all right”. So Will will just have to be satisfied with yard duty and pick up scraps from around the ground. Jack Billings fits the bill at Goody’s holiday camp dance class performances. Sibling sisters and cousins preferred as partners of course. Christian Petracca and Jake Lever are excused, despite recent nuptials and growing young families it’s strictly non-contact. Jake Melksham’s there, he just continues on his merry way, ensconced in the Senior’s common room. Last year’s truants Clayton Oliver and Shane McAdam seem to be right on track, having overcome last year’s um … attendance issues. Enrollments are up it’s all about bums on seats. Kozzy’s back, but was he really gone? Richo set us straight, don’t believe everything you read in The West Australian etc. It elevates circulation and BPM. Of the new boys, Ricky Mentha Junior looks terrific, should be a breathe of fresh air. 🐍

Check your lettuce leaves.

Are his mirror balls still spinning?

Photos are up. AJ looks like he is auditioning for Nux's part in Fury Road. Look out Brayden! Some terrific images amongst the ordinaire. Jakie Melksham gets aerial. Young Verrall has muscled up. Plus battle of the tree trunk thighs goes femoral.

Picket Fence sighted this morning at Port Fairy. Expect the fish to land in his lap.

Guru Bob is in attendance.

Meanwhile at a top secret training ground deep in the south eastern suburban corridor. The new game plan was being put thru it paces.

Mongrel Punt opener is an interesting read, maybe the staff writer does have a novel in him. Ticks off the litany of ‘plaints that bedeviled the club’s recent history. Importantly MP perceptively suggests the best way forward to lose the negative media scrutiny. Is through a return to the winner’s list quote “…it is amazing how quickly success turns a team of ‘apparently’ disgruntled players into a cohesive unit…”. Despite the overrun of the footy mafia rumour mill. On the visual and observational evidence so far. Both Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca are enjoying the pre-season with their team mates. Plenty of smiles about. Their return to the playing field, after ‘the healing’ bodes well, lifting the entire team performance. According to MP “Even just Oliver re-discovering that 2022 form would elevate them (the team) six places (ladder wise).” To paraphrase MP the theory that what [censored] happens is neither bad or as good as made out applies. As the new year kicks in and the woes of last season’s Annus horribilis recede exponentially in the rear view mirror. Being a passionate and invested supporter l’m feeling likewise, let the ebullience rise and let the team play some bloody good footy.

old dee this is probably more your style.

You can feel it comin’ on about 4 You can get it balking You can get handballing You can get working a keyboard Matter of fact l’ve got it now

When my baby When my baby smiles at me l go to Rio De Janeiro, my- oh-me-oh l go wild… (Fortunately the Groom’s first choice ‘outfit’ was vetoed by the bridal party).

A late withdrawal from the team means an unexpected last minute debut.

Some cows are cows.

DT you appear to be under a common misapprehension. Those are Holstein - Frieslans not a guernsey to be seen.

Recent scenes a Gosch's give cause for optimism.

As a lapsed Foxtel/Kayo viewer, the recruitment drive at Casey, should reboot considerable interest in footy next season from Casey Fields. Give the 🐝’s a run for their money. Pleased Noah gets to float his boat. Smithy’s never looked so good!

Kharma Kharma Chameleon he comes and goes…

Inspirational WJ just keep a weather eye out for this bloke.

Strictly HFF After the euphoria of the draft some sober reflection. DL has more mood swings than Ashton’s Circus high trapeze act. Without a net.

Not 1996 mate but it must of been a good year for school boy ‘humour’.

Love the new avatar and comeback née wcw. Caspar the ghost was one of my favourite comic book characters of my boyhood. Plently of fun back than without tamagotchi’s, PlayStations or whatever. Get outside and play kick to kick in the street! Pleased Uncle Roy’s got his own thread and Shane has returned in ripping shape. Looking forward to seeing how all this plays out. Feeling optimistic about the season ahead.
