Last week we saw a cracker of a local game of football in front of a huge crowd. The game saw several lead changes with Mont being in front at the right time. Good to see Anthony in good form and Pece enjoying the spring like weather. AJ & Joe Vaccaro dint look out of place on the big stage up from the 17s.The reserves had a epic bout of years gone by and came away with a victory to finish 2nd and gain the double chance. With several players returning this week competition will be keen for spots in the finals team.
This week we return to one of our favourite grounds with fond memories to take on Mont back to back in both grades.
Around The Traps Yes its back after a few weeks of and we’re here to answer the hard questions. Tuddy asked Adam does he go to work or just sit on the couch all day. Out of the mouth of babes young Bubba was hearing his mums speech and thanking people who travelled long distances to make the big day he said you forgot about the bloke who came all the way from India. Is Dean related to Chimp. Speaking of Matt he has concerns that the punters club is not making enough money and now taken on the role of bounty hunter. Jon might have a few more mouths to feed. Spoona has put one past the keeper and the question has to be asked did he smile when the event occurred or at the announcement. “The Victim” is pushing hard for the seniors secretary role next year he has already mastered Kate’s famous move. There is now a suggestion Box behind the bar (in the lake I think) and we are now open to suggestion. Feel free to drop in your thoughts.

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 after the season. Some minor alterations have been made recently to improve everyone’s comfort.
