Brayden George walking some very sad laps. Poor thing

Match sim definitely on, scoreboard set up for it.

When i took the boys last week Brayden was walking past us and my eldest said "Hi Brayden" And Brayden stopped to say hi, Seems like a lovely young bloke

I love watching the first years get recognized, you can see how pumped they are and how new it must be for them they almost blush.

Blue is the first choice defence essentially, on a first choice forward line.

Blues in the back line = McKay, LMAC, Goater

Yellow = Larkey, Zurhaar, Sheezel. Curtis is starting in the center square but pushing forward.

Simpkin and Cunners, Curtis, Shiels are in yellow midfield.

Will, Greenwood, Powell in the blue midfield.

I haven’t seen Wardlaw out there or running laps.

Wardlaw in the rehab group for sure. Has his long shorts on, the big nerd. I've noticed every time they stop running, his eyes go straight to the play and he's visibly licking his lips. Everyone else looks at the ground - Wardlaw watches the footy

Drury has already had 3 inside the first 30 seconds of the second half.

4 now

Well I've arrived onsite 7:30 am on the dot !! According to my timesheet anyways.

I'm genuinely fascinated how you manage to pull this off? Do you sneak in a side entrance? Are there so many people in your department that it's impossible to tell who is or isn't there? Am I right in assuming it's a Government Department? Tell me your secrets.

A good question you did raise.

Well it takes some 'work' to do this successfully I was originally based on the first floor of the building, oh I am the only site rep which makes it easier.
When I was on the first floor I'd have project managers visit me and get in the way.

So moved myself up to level 3, in a building without any lifts, these blighters are too lazy to walk 3 flights of stairs. An important bit of info that.

I started off full of hope and was keen to assist their development and improvement. But they have no desire for any of it. Was told to stop assisting and just look after what you can. So that is what I do.

I answer the phone when someone rings and when I leave between 3:20- 3:30pm as it takes 40-50 minutes to drive home, I wait until just after 4:00pm and ring some campaigner. Always get gee you've knocked off why you ringing.
I say well I've just left ya know.

Then they had a couple of legacy maintenance issues ie sports hall roof leaks, no one could bother getting them fixed, so I sorted that out. Was made to feel very special, I mean FFS people, it's ya job!!

Another mind bender was a level 9 rooftop garden leak, the dude in charge had half of it emptied ( it's huge) and it took wheelbarrows down lifts to do it. He seems to lose interest and it had sat half-empty with shit everywhere for the past 14 months. He decided it was an issue with the waterproofing membrane.

Finally, with enough complaints of having a lovely area looking like the Somme, the job was given to me. It as I thought was a broken stormwater pipe, yeah I had the plumber's camera the drain.

So I did need a massive crane truck to access it, but it wasn't difficult, so what they thought was a 150K issue ended up being a 29K issue.

Like Harris 10 ( awesome work fyi- proud of you) if you make yourself available and seem to have a little bit of knowledge it is easy to keep a job when you're surrounded by dills. That have NFI how to run an operations team.

I will be looking to move on shortly I've about had enough and am better than this place.

He was like that last week you can see him absolutley hanging to get out there and have a run.

Drury has probably been the best half back out there

 

[Flawed Genius]

Drury's gunna play 1s this year

 

[The acurate one]

Any Ford news or is he involved?
Lucky he's contracted until 24 apparently, has all the tools to be a good footballer.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Zurhaar one of the worst turnovers you'll see. Gifts CCJ a shot on goal which he puts OOBOTF. Ho hum

 

[Sphynx]

Let’s not archive the Benny hill music just yet, let’s just say the last 2 minutes of football probably doesn’t require in depth details.

Simpkin and Zurhaar kicking especially

Took a pack mark and goaled in the goal square 5 mins ago

 

[speedy]

I'm chomping at the bit for some chom commentary....

 

[deano28]

A few turnovers trying to hit those short passes on the 45 that need to be tidied up but the intensity is good .

 

[Flawed Genius]

Monkhorst on Free "moves a lot better than I thought". Pointing him out to Ratten and very impressed

Will is a ****en menace around packs. Clearance pig, sets up CCJ for a goal

 

[Sphynx]

Free beats Goldy at a boundary throw in, led to a clean Will Phil clearance

CCJ beat Dawson 1 v 1 and goals from 40

Not much to report

X beats three to mark after Goater spoiled Comben and beat him on the deck hands down

Goater rinsed Comben in that, he’s a beast.

Drury is teaching Cooper a big lesson.

You wouldn't know they're the same age. Drury is dog walking him all over the joint. Consistently has 15m on him

 

[My Left Foote]

I spent 10 days in Broadbeach on holiday with the family, answered a couple of calls and work had no clue.

I'm doing this all wrong.
