Just got my membership stuff today. Had to go and have a lie down.

 

[liz]

Not sure about those predicting Magic to kick the first goal for the season. He "usually" doesn't make his debut until about round 5. Four or so goalless games to start the season may have us seriously wondering about our back-to-back chances.

Allright then Smarty Pants. In a classic role reversal fron his career defining mark in the final seconds of the GF, I predict Leo will mark the ball in the goal square, charge out in blistering pace, shrug off 4 defenders and in 5 bounces kick a torp from 65m and slot the first goal of the season. Just in time for Tiger to jump on his back...again. Ahhhh, can you ever get enough of that feeling....the roar....the tears....singing the club song in a way you had NEVER sung it before....hugging starngers seated around you....

There I go again, need another lie down.

 

[ChubbMuff]

wow i got mine on the first week of this month.

I seem to have a special place in the membership departments IN tray. The bottom. Always get what I want though, god bless 'em.
