Our midfield can't seem to arrest control of the game back once the opposition get on top...

Pleased to post these after an awesome win over the Demons to get our season back to 2-4.

After trailing by 27 points on two occasions in the first half, it was a real gutsy performance by the whole team work our way back into it and get that well deserved W.

Catsnlakers showed his class in a high stakes game and okeydoke7 inspired us with a critical goal to draw us within a kick in the third quarter.

All our changes paid dividends as RPCB kicked a goal in the dying minutes to put us in front and TheDarkDwarf was selected on the wing, he got the following clearance and launched a torp from the wing to get us home.

Absolutely glorious.

With Quadzilla's 300th game coming up, let's knock off the Furies and force our way up the ladder!

Even when in holiday mode the man is still saving the day!

Damn me for making myself stand out when on the HBF.

Back home and settled now, 2kgs heavier, that's probably a win considering all the s**t I ate.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

all the sh*t I ate.

I have to say the local cuisine is quite out there.

 

[ShaunDuggan]

I have to say the local cuisine is quite out there.

Developed a new addiction to chips and garlic aioli, had it near every day. And choc hazelnut gelato.

No wonder I put weight on
