Pre-season is over, the real stuff is here. BBQ at Fred's tonight, BYO spirits. Oh yeah, we are playing tomorrow so everyone in bed (doesn't have to be yours) by 5am.

Why is it that when the BBQ is at Fred's place it is always BYO spirits... Sheez, the rest of us provide an open bar....

Yeah.. I went there....

Very very disappointing start to the season against the Dragons.. Strong start to the year posting wise though which is a positive...

Had some thoughts on the team movements, will take all suggestions for team rejigging and movements in this thread...

After Mobbs dropped himself last week, I think we should take the bull by the horns with some of these changes... We cannot go through this season like last season... Stability and strength in our core positions has to be the focus...

So this is the side I propose for Round 2.. What are everyone elses thoughts???

[Fred]

Certainly worth a try as it was a disappointing loss.

 

[Mobbs]

Oh god.

 

[Itsmyshow]

Oh god.

Don't worry.. You are just there as a decoy for Roylion, royboy2 and the others, but with the skill moving into the midfield you will be right

 

[royboy2]

Kooka - So good he can play back pocket and be emergency

I always new IMS didn't like Maroon Goon, especially after the deep heat/jock strap incident.

I like it, Mobbs is a natural FF, he has always reminded me of a young Warwick Capper. The only suggestions I would make IMS is perhaps we could switch Carn The Roys! to the HFF and swing Roy FitzLion to the FP. Also Kooka is in a BP as well as being an Emergency, if we ever need to call on our Emergency we will have to use one of Kooka's many personalites to plug the gaps.

s**t dagnamit.... Was supposed to be Maroon Goon in a BP....

I like the CTR and Roy FitzLion switch too...

My apologies to Maroon Goon... But that deep heat did hurt...

 

[Mobbs]

Of all the oddballs of footy history you were bound to name as a comparatif, Warwick Capper was about the leas expected!

Mark Jackson??

Phil Carmen??

John Coleman??

 

[Itsmyshow]

Due to the Hawks oversight, we are off the bottom of the ladder!!

Hurrah to us...

 

[Fred]

I think I've just had a good idea.

 

[Itsmyshow]

I think I've just had a good idea.

If you are thinking what I am thinking... Well, just give me a few minutes to put the footy trip money on us to win this season's premiership

 

[Reardo]

Mobbs is a lock for FF this season. End of season trip this year will be to Cancun, Mexico. I've booked us for departure two days following our final match in the regular season as we won't play finals, that's how we roll.

 

[FattyLumpkin]

Excellent choice. Wouldn't mind a detour via New Orleans for some vodoo, hurricaines (the drink) and a wander down Bourbon St

 

[Mobbs]

Long before the SuperDome,
Where the Saints of football play,
Lived a city that the damned called home,
Hear their hellish roundelay...

New Orleeeans...
Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
New Orleeeans...
Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!
If you want to go to Hell, you should make that trip
to the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp'!

New Orleeeans...
Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile!
New Orleaaans...
Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul!
New Orleeeans...
Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank!

New Orleeeans!

 

[Reardo]

You sold me Mobbs!! New Orleans added to itinerary.

We have an itnerary??? This trip is going to be insane!!!

 

[FattyLumpkin]

Exactly as I remember it Mobbs

 

[Mobbs]

Hey Fatty, more chance of it being on this year for making some NT matches, lets hook up!

 

[FattyLumpkin]

You asking me out on a date??

Yeah I think I'll find myself wandering to one or two of their games - havnt seen a draw for NEAFL yet. I believe Reardo wouldn't mind chaperoning if we can find the right game.

Saw NT vs Mt Gravatt twice last year. Mt G supporters take the bait too easiliy, but they do take it, so its a guaranteed "catch". Any game(s) would have to be at a suburban ground Vs a suburban club - bugger the Gabba or Carara Vs Lions/Suns II.

I'll have a squiz

 

[Itsmyshow]

If anyone is interested, I have a Supercoach/Dreamtime style league that I have started up.. The league will have a draft over the next two weeks to fill sides (meaning that a player will only be in one side, where it differs from SC/DT)
PM me if you are interested in joining
