Nick's Posting XXII - Round 13 2014

[Tannin]

This week Collie Dog comes in to provide some bite going into attack and we have added 3rd Degree in the pocket for extra mongrel. Jackass and Brenny stay up at the pointy end in case we need to boot a goal or two at some point during the game, though with our all-class back six, that seems unlikely. David, now that he knows all about ruck-roving, joins the coaching panel to share his wealth of experience and specialised knowledge.

Lazza has been tearing it up on the wing these last few weeks and deserves his promotion to first rover, where he will partner popular mid-season tip as prospective Nick's XXII best-and-fairest, Breadcrawl. As ever, the Zero Man and Stui will share ruck duties, changing off the bench (which they like 'coz it's closer to the dimmies).

Out goes Umpires' Advisor Donny after ignoring coach's instructions and moving one thread too many, replaced by burnsy17, who is never stuck for a word or two. Dave the Man, with his extensive experience, steps in as Team Counselor and Chief Psychologist. Morrigu has been recalled to the Team Doctor role. Frankly, selecting an athiest as Chaplin was a mistake, and selecting Hiss as the Doctor was a bigger one.

There are probably some other changes but I can't remember them.

Get out there lads and vivisect some Doggies!

When's the male team being announced?

[watt price tully]

Motivational speaking eh?

Well there's only two opinions: my one's & wrong one's.

When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you.



Well if this doesn't get you up..

I don't mind sharing ruck duties with stui coach but can you at least start stui on the field. Every time he starts on the bench by the time I get to the 5 minute mark and come off for my usual reward of bourbon and fried snacks all the plumpest dimmies are gone.......last week there wasn't even a chiko roll left!

That's said with all due respect to my ruck / dimmie scoffing partner.

Still playing
Guess my motto of win if you can. lose if you must but always always cheat resonates with the coach

[David]

Now here's a position I'm qualified for!

Okay team, listen up: as Ruck-Rover, Breadcrawl has an important role in the team this week. I'm still reading up on the exact specifics of the position, but I believe he will start in the square at every bounce and yell things like "come on boys!" and "that was clearly holding the ball you muppet" as long as his lungs allow him. He has also been instructed to drop the ball on his foot and make a vague kicking motion in the direction of our goals if it should by some freak accident end up in his hands. This is a tough position, so, um, get around him! I'll be up in Woodend on speed dial if anyone needs me.

[Piesnchess]

TIME for some Doggie Stew boys, lets get em. !!!!

[The Prototype]

I have always been a very good emergency.

[Breadcrawl]

Defender would be SPEWING that David got a week on the ball and then was dropped.

We gotta stop farkin around with our inside mids

If you see me Picken a fight with my tagger, get involved okay Lazza?

[Bob Sugar]

I would like to take this opportunity to officially announce my retirement from the Nicks posting 22.

[think positive]

Ok boys let's find our inner mongrel and tear the westerns a new one ( I just can't talk about pooches that way) we got this

Percentage

Of our earnings we hand them

Love the equalizer

Coach, I know you are awesome and your selections each week are pretty much spot on (and dare I say it, visionary), but I just want to point out that I think I've done enough this week to earn a spot back on the field for round 14 in the all important match up against the Hawks.

My sarcastic defense of Taylor Adams for example is one of the better threads this site has seen in a long time, and the thread knocking the umpires yet again could turn out to be the unifying thread that helps us get over the tough loss to the doggies......

And don't forget I was the first to confirm that we are taking Darcy Moore no matter what pick we have to use on him.

anyway, not trying to impact your decision, but just wanted to make sure you have all of the information you need to make an informed decision.

Keep up the amazingly great job you are doing.....

[John Wren]

i blame our rucks. they were up against a spud. he made them into mashed potato.

[Lazza]

I'll be on a wing (and a prayer!). You did well coach but you must live in Chinatown because every time I wing, I get the wong number.

I am practising my chicken wing tackling with lessons from Judd 3 votes.

I will be awesome winging it this week.

The hawk I play on will be wingless at the end of the game.

[David]

I might actually be at the game this week for once, so, y'know, if you want to reward my loyalty and devotion...
