Opening post updated with the latest round of recruits.
Before we start doubling up for reporters, lets just leave it open til tonight for anyone new who wants to jump on board, or people who were on the list but missed their pick.

 

[well left]

I'm a bit slow on this one (seems to be a common occurrence on a Monday). From what I see on page 1, Blair and/or Rounds is still available. I'm happy to take either and keep others updated on their progress. That's what this is about right?

 

[skeetz]

Yep.
Post match reports (in your own words) and links to any news articles featuring your player.
If you are taking on a rookie, it would be great if you could get down to a game or 2 of VFL footy (or watch any televised matches) to keep us updated as well

 

[Magpie_Matty]

Magpie Matty has taken his belated pick.

[Snag Breac]

When I was a little girl, back in dear, dirty oul Belfast, I first heard a song called Nobody's Child, and I bawled my wee eyes out. It was about a blind child at an orphange, who just wanted to be adopted like all the other kids. Every time I've heard that song I've cried.

Yesterday I heard it again, but in a new, more soul-searing version. I was passing by Gosch's Paddock, when ...........but let me sing to you...

I was slowly passing Collingwood one day
And stopped there for a moment, just to watch the players play,
Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why
He turned with injured haaaammmmmmies and he began to cry;

I'm nobody's player, nobody's player
Without a buddy, I don't have a prayer,
No buddy's praises to make me a little bit gayer,
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's player.

Buddies bid for players and took them for their own
But they all seemed to pass me by and I am left alone
I hoped they'd like to take me but when they saw my hammy,
They all just took some other player, and I want to go home to mammy.

No buddy's words to cheer me or soothe me when I fall
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I'm fed up with it all
I'd walk the streets of heaven with a sturdy new hammy
And just like all the other players, there'd be a buddy for me

I'm nobody's player, nobody's player
Without a buddy, I don't have a prayer,
No buddy's praises to make me a little bit gayer,
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's player.

The young man singing his poor broken heart out was Kevin Dyas - so far from home, so very alone. Will YOU be his buddy?

 

[Pie eyed]

Geez Snag, you should be working for World Vision...lol

I felt so bad I've mailed the lad one my own hammy's.

 

[DoubleO7]

LOL, the guy in the back resembles Goldsack.

 

[Snag Breac]

It's the least you could have done, if you truly bleed black and white, and I don't suppose you're really using them anyway.

 

[Skade]

Pie eyed, you should do stand-up.

 

[Godfrey Jones]
