I prefer "dedicated" and "passionate" myself; it is a delusion that keeps me going.

Well I’ll admit the number of pre season training sessions I’ve attended in my long career is equal to my A grade GF appearances so there might be a bit of a correlation there!
Pre-season training is as much to do with getting the newbies up to speed as anything else isn't it pazza?
Chillie backing up again, Zimmer frame at hand?
I guess one person's light-hearted banter is another person's "dissing".

If that was "dissing" then I absolutely assassinated his character on Wednesday evening as we shared snags and tales after training...
He responded by digging up a photo from the mid-90s on his phone of an absolutely meteoric centre bounce

Good to see you back.

Sounds a bit like the calicos might be making a reappearance after a loooong absence.
Did the great McCarthy honour you with his presence?

No, there's not too many of the Old Guard from ten or more years ago still there. Way outnumbered by the young and fit.

Chillie's big day today down at Harry Trott for his 900th.
Even brought the Fireman back for a match.
My mail is that there will be host of current and former umpires heading along for the match (and the after-match).

Unfortunately couldn't make it, I was at Beauy and running late for another function. Great occasion for a great umpire and bloke.

Sadly, the big little man has decided to hang up the sticks, one can't blame him but suspect he will in fact, at some point, hit the 1,000 game mark, it's too close. Many thanks from the VAFA people Mr Segota on a brilliant career.

Sorry to hear you've got the plague, pazza . Cheer yourself up with the news that, much to my astonishment, I have been lucky enough to slip back into Premier A this weekend. Lets hope I justify the faith shown and can stay there.
Chillie was my partner for my first A Section game, at Old Scotch many years ago. Happy memories.

In the end I was moved up to Premier B at the Uni!
1. As Max suggested the report was a travesty.
2. To allow the umpire who stuffed up to change the report so radically was an affront.
3. For the tribunal to impose such a penalty, under those circumstances, was a gross injustice to the player.
4. To appoint the offending umpire immediately to another game involving the same club in those circumstances seems like a middle finger to the club. Doubt it would have occurred under the seasoned leadership of Tony Hales or Peter Marshall.
5. Not allowing an appeal was an abuse of procedural fairness.
There, I've said it.
