It was just like old times at Footy Park last night - the New Year begun and the crew reassembled for the first Thursday night poker game of the year.
They were all there, Max, Leigh, Glen, Doug - they were hoping that Kerl might drop by with a few fish and play a few hands. He didn't show. Instead they had to go with the leftover turkey sandwiches as the catering staff is still on leave. Max got a cranberry sauce stain on that new lavender shirt - well, the sleeves are a bit long on this one too.
But there was joy all around as Triggy dropped by and told everyone that the King had trained and had got through fine. "Love-a-duck" exclaimed Max - and they all laughed.
"Best news since the Bays drafted Salopek," said Doug, who then remembered he hadn't reminded Port Adelaide that he stole Rehny from the Magpies.
"Here's to the Team for all South Australians - except Port supporters" toasted Leigh, thrusting skyward a flute of Barossa Pearl, straight from his extensive cellar.
"And here's to a successful year of poker," smiled Glen, wiping the cranberry sauce from the Jack of Diamonds that had been Max's lead on the previous hand.
THE THURSDAY NIGHT POKER GAME IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
