Flying off the track more like it.
Yep. I'm playing Mixed Netball of a Sunday night as well. Prob going to try and get fit. Might make a return next year.
How did you make the team?
Wish we had a comp locally here. They used to have one in Moe but they played it during the real season and wondered why no one was interested.
Well when you fashion your own team of ring-ins, it seems like you might be playing for sheep stations.What are you guys trying to say?
Nah, it is just a team with a few mates. Just for fun, not playing for sheep stations.
how does indoor footy work?

When do clubs start training and who are the new coaches.
usually start of november for the keen ones, some as late as after xmas.
Bought a new pair of asics runners and went down to cricket training, jogged a lap and did some stride throughs and rolled the arm over for half an hour. Felt a bit light-headed so went to the bar early.
Awoke the next morning with all sorts of aches, put the new runners up the back of the cupboard. Will get them out again in March.

Bit hard to explain on the internet. Guess the main rules are:
- No tackling
- 5 seconds to get rid of the ball
- Can kick any distance and it's a mark
- No soccering
- No punching
- 8 points for a goal to the full forward
- Can't kick a goal from the back half
- 4 quarters of 7 minutes
- 6 players a team
- 1 fullback and fullforward who aren't allowed over halfway
Good game - probably a bit similar to netball.
If you want to have a real go at Football style sport during summer, the Gaelic league in Melbourne has a summer season. Full gaelic rules, so no contact, but works all the muscles and has the same running patterns as AFL, so is the perfect fitness if you're young enough to keep going during summer. Minimal contact and not terribly hotly contested.
Games are roughly only every 2-3 weeks.
I think the games start after Christmas. A few nyora guys played for Garryowen a few years back. All games are played in Keysborough at Gaelic Park. You can go down and watch the Hurling as well, even try playing if you don't like having teeth and enjoy being hit with sticks.

Haha considering you have ate the entire Caulfield racetrack out of chiko rolls two weeks running I think it's time you got back into a bit of training. And no the two handed basketball dribble on the CQ dancefloor doesn't count.
Does your old man payroll this elite squadron?

Thanks for clearing that up Ontheburst....
Surkin i may have eaten a few Spring Rolls Saturday but at least I kept them down. You packed your own organic lentil salad with hibiscus flowers and didnt make it past 9pm before you were throwing up lettuce leafs all over the toilet bowl....
