This year I saved a soul with SuperCoach

[vjknight]

as all of us go thru the year playing supercoach, theres always games that normally wouldnt be of interest, but as we have representation in our supercoach team, suddenly we are interested in every game.

as the start of the year i sent the registration link to a mate in sydney. he calls victorians mexicans, calls our great game a pansy game, aerial ping pong etc - and stupidity follows that worthless game played up north.

anyway he decided to take on the challenge - he registered, and after getting a rundown on how it works and the sort of things to look for, submitted a team. the rest is history.

he liked the way the scoring worked, and progressively submitted a 2nd team, a 3rd, a 4th, a 5th. all in random leagues.

now i get a handful of emails & sms's daily, asking for info, confirmation of rumours, and the best bit, he even tells me things i didnt know. subscribes to all the newsletters, emails, he's hooked. watches all the games he can on free to air and foxtel. there is not a game he has no interest in.

this weekend he is involved in 5 grand finals, and from all reports will win all 5.

yesterday he sms'd me in great despair - he had traded hodge for selwood, only to lose him too. broke his heart. all good now.

he is hooked - hooked lined & sinkered !!!

his once beloved parramatta eels - doesnt know, doesnt care.

i have saved a soul.

anyone else out there done a good deed like this ?

You're not a big fan of the SHIFT key are you vj?

LOL

you see spud 'back in my day' it was a real bugger to hold down that stiff old shift button on the typewriter and coincide that with the letter of choice. hence my outside fingers became inoperable. after consulting daniel chick he suggested an option which i now regret.

annoying at the pub too....."i said 5 beers"

you should explain to him that having 5 teams is not in the spirit of the game..

now one for his misses, mum, dad, cousin and dog is a different story

well done mate

Coulda just told him that any game where you only get 6 goes and then you have to give the ball to your opposition so he gets his turns makes it a toilet of a sport!

That stuff is or under 10s. Real sport means if I have the ball and you want it then get it off me!


Bloody good job fixing up that Canadian though!

On top of old horror hill in a secret laboratory,
Professor Weirdo and Count Kook were in their monstrous glory.

Six drops of the essence of terror, Five drops of sinister sauce,
When the stirring's done may I lick the spoon?
Of course ha ha of course.
Now for the tincture of tenderness, But I must use only a touch,
For without a touch of tenderness, He might destroy me!
Whoops too much.
Better hold your breath it's starting to tick:
Better hold my hand I'm feeling sick -
Hello Dad!
What have I done?
I'm Milton, Your brand new son!




yes folks ive created a monster.

he's now sending an avalanche of requests for info on various players for next year - asking who david swallow is - even i dont know who he is, apart from someone at GC17.
