That was supposed to say "can't" pirouette to save himself
When are you back in the game?? We miss you!!!
Off to the physio tonight mate hopefully for an all clear. Strained the calf a few weeks back (working on the piruette mind you!!). Back through the twos I'd imagine because, unfortunately, I'm one of the "unfit" unmpires Omni was referring to. What does he expect when he hooks by bbq up to natural gas for me? I cook more meat and drink more too!!

Mate I'll gladly push "YOU" around the ground in a wheel chair if it means one of your megalomaniac colleagues can have a stint on the pine !!!
................ & "Unfit" big fella doesn't always have to refer to ones physical prowess now does it ???
Mind you, "some" are able to carry a few kgs & still do a more than adequate job. (god knows I based a whole career on that philosophy !)
Now your the perfect bloke for this - Perhaps you could give a few of your fellow officials that feel they wanna be "PART" of the action (re- GRANDSTAND !) a few hints on how to keep a low profile and get the job done with a minimum of fuss ???

Senior List
Just listened to the Romsey vice-president being interviewed on 3AW discussing Ben Cousins. Spoke very well, and whilst it will be a huge gain for Romsey, it will also be great advertising for the RDFL. Expecting a crowd of b/w 7-12k on the day. Good luck to Pedo and the Redbacks

Debutant
lets hope then that spectators and the like are mature and sensible enough to leave the bloke alone and just let him play footy and not have to put up with utter crap some other high profile players have had to put up with

Is there really a spot for The Cuz in Romsey's side?? surely an undefeated team deserves no change to its line up?? i feel sorry for the bloke who will be omitted...or will The Cuz have to earn a spot through the 2's??.....lol

Says nothing about why he's at romsey as opposed to any other local club
Any chance he may play more then one game? Qualify for finals maybe?
That would be great mate, but at this point in time it's one! If he happened to enjoy himself, he may come back for another!

Hume City Council set to destroy local football
Wonder whether people had any thoughts on the attached article from the Leader this week??
Has Hume City Council taken into account the impact that this decision has on the clubs/leagues out this way?? Effectively the Sunbury Kangaroos cannot charge entry without the relevant jumping through hoops on a weekly basis, add to that any chance of the Kangaroos seniors/juniors or Lions juniors being able to host finals games!!!
If the Council decide to go this way and other local councils follow suit, our competitions in these areas face a real risk of survival.. Taking away the gate from our clubs and from the RDFL for finals will have a supreme financial impact, if Sunbury Lions seniors take 20K a year on the gate, what would our clubs take?? I would suggest that up to 25% of the league's income would come from finals gates, so does that mean if they cannot charge, that league fees go up? So clubs lose their ability to charge a gate fee as well as being required to pay more in league fees, our clubs won't survive... Something needs to give... It's a real concern, for all of us in my opinion..

Why would anybody in their right mind do that. He is an accomplished AFL great, not a has been mercenary, with an oafish temper.
