Only 4 weeks until the 2nd derby... for a bunch of us in Melbourne another Derby is played that same day at (almost) the same intensity and skill level. ;)

For those who haven't heard of this iconic event, check out last years thread here:
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/east-coast-derby-this-sunday-in-melbourne.1010992/

I invite anyone who is interested to contact myself or our captain Clinteaux to register interest as we always need a few extra able bodies out there in battle.

If you can't play but still want to come down and support our team, mark the 28th of June in your calender to get down to East Brunswick to watch our game.

More details will be posted soon with training sessions and the game time.

Yes* ... does that mean you are coming Tonga Bob?

It actually looks like we might be able to have a run with the RRR community cup team as they are going to be training at the same park from 10:30am

* offers of free beer may not be honoured :D

Get Tonga Bob and young Seppo to sing along with them RRR crew, and we should have the next 15 years of cheer squad songs sorted in one training sesh...
 
Sorry, you were usurped by an old uni mate being in town. That, plus the lack of guaranteed beer. On the bright side said uni mate & I will be at Etihad this arvo. If you guys get to train on the ground there then we're on.

F@#$%^&
injured knee, has swelling. needs rest.
just when I've finally gotten into better nick.
you miss out on a soft, outside player with good skills (before), who used to be fast as well.
I'd probably have to miss because of Junior's game anyway.
Go Freo!

With just over 1 more week to the Derby, we are running around Fleming Park in East Brunswick this Sunday morning at 11am for the last training session before the big derby the week after.

Remember if you can't play but keen to watch our Freo boys take on the Eagles, keep the hours before the derby next Saturday free.

Might pop by for a session. I'll check with the missus. May even get the okay to play if there are spots next week.

Does it matter if I'm carrying > 20% body fat?????

We don't judge on size and skill, its all for a bit of fun. You could be 90% BF and still would get a run with us.

We are also after a banner slogan which I will be making next week.

In the last 2 banners we have had:
Dockers Vs Duckers
Anchors Vs w***ers

Do the Fitzroy Dockers team treat this match as a GF aswell?
Just once it would be nice to actually see an original sledge.

You've got one week till the Derby to think of one.

Time starts........ Now.

Went down by 2 goals in very blustery conditions. All the goals scored at 1 end of the ground. The eagles had 2 big units that marked everything parked at FB and CHB.

I managed to kick 1.1 and had around 7 disposals. Cramped up towards the end of the match and doing a heap of recovery today.

Next year will be the comps 10th year so we need to recruit some talls. They were the difference on the day.
