Last week went down to the kennel and had a big win with many goalkickers after losing robbo at the first contest and Andrew not far behind him. Shaun Gannon got the Best Player Tickets but no one wanted to shake his hand but he didn’t know who he was anyway. AJ Natoli made his senior debut last week up from the under 17s kicking 2 goals. Got to the 2s a bit late after the 19s were left out in the cold to find them trailing, but eventually got across the line with young Jimmy kicking 7 and then got to make a speech.
This week its the top of the table clash against Bundoora coming of a loss. Over the last couple of years everytime we travel here the weather turns nasty I myself will be praying for a nice sunny day.
Next week we have the week of before returning to Moore Park for 3 out of the last 4 home games. We tackle MacLeod at home on the 6th August when we will see the special guests fly in by chopper
After todays match its back to the club for T-Spoons Rumspringa, not sure why its called this but it will involve some food and a bit of a chat.
Around The Traps Ramsay tried to burn the kitchen down last week in protest of Closey signing his footy. I asked Ernie a trained fireman to go into the kitchen but he told me he couldn’t cook. We needed him for his firefighting skills and he grabbed the fire extinguisher and told us that there would be powder everywhere once he let it loose but only water came out. Spokesy & Des have been using highly flammable degreaser to clean the cooker in the hope of getting a bigger flame. Garrett became the most highly paid spectator last week. What’s happened to Tommy & Teaspoon they seemed to have gone the way of Zig & Zag.

Coterie Group is up and running again and at various levels so see Milesy, Polly or Mario for further details. So far the group has raised the best part of 50 grand which will all go towards building improvements and with the support of Darebin council we will see vastly improved facilities for both home and visiting clubs. Darebin Council announced its budget for this coming year and once again find ourselves on the receiving end of some more revenue for an upgrade to our ground lighting in 2012. The new multi purpose room has been pushed back to start in August.
