Hey, we did go B2B!
It's pretty clear that Goal of The Year award has become the most prestigous, sought-after award in football - far more than the Brownlow, or even the Premiership. And as the club with a stranglehold on this prize in recent seasons, I feel we must defend this honour and do everything we can to ensure it stays at Punt Road.
So I have drawn up a short list of tactics I would like to see us adopt next season.
1. All forward-50 entries to be scrubby kicks along the ground towards the boundary line. Anyone hitting Jack on the chest will be dragged.
3. All forwards to play with their back to the goal at all times. Looking at the big sticks will be against team rules.
2. Always have at least one player inside the forward 50 lying on his back, waiting to receive a handpass.
4. All handballs inside Forward-50 to be overhead or look-away. (Shane Edwards to conduct pre-season clinics).
5. All kicks at goal must be a) wrong foot, b) bananas, or c) dribbles.
If follow those rules, I am confident we can claim the big prize at the end of the season. We might not kick a lot of goals (if any), but they'll be worth watching.
