Nick's Posting XXII - R.3 v ummm... whoever

Good evening all, and welcome to a fantastic night of hijinks and hilarity... um...

sorry, what the hell is this thread about again?

to be honest, I've been scratching my head trying to figure out who we're even playing this week. And yes I KNOW, it's a day late. I'm a bad, bad coach Sad

Anyway, apparently we're playing Richmond, so without further ado, here is the side:

Nick's Posting XXII - R.3 v Richmond
FB: 3rd Degree, Zakal, Joel
HB: Hoggy, Jock McPie, leggie
C: Frankiboy, Skaman, The Ru is on Fire
HF: Troppo, DaVe86, Magpie Greg
FF: Rudeboy, -magpies are 2 good-, The Prototype
R: Stui Magpie, Sherrife, Dave the Man (c)
I/C: Burnsy17, Favourites 2008, zoom_ZOOM, Johnson #26

EMG: Morrigu, Kingswood, London Dave

In: Troppo, Sherrife
Out: Kingswood, Tannin

Omar makes his long-awaited debut this week, and is prepared to sledge opponents with Marxist rhetoric if necessary. Proud Pies, a late withdrawal last week, will slot back into defense, and Troppo also returns to the side.

After our 'joke' ruck combination practically cost us the game last week (yeah, haha, great idea, put the little guy in the ruck), I have seen sanity and put our resident goliath in to take the centre bounces. Dave the Man moves onto the ball, for some reason, and in a brilliant coaching move (I hope) our Taswegian has moved to goalsneak position. All up, it's a good side, but let's face it, an under-9s side would smash Richmond.

waterboy: Frank Stone
coach's masseuse: Cam
that guy: Pies417
cheersquad (protest) leader: Sherrife (multi-talented!)
Category that provides an excuse for picking Dr Alf Andrews: Dr Alf Andrews
Stripper: Magpie Dan

And just to inspire your complete faith in my coaching, this team was partially picked by my (West Coast Eagles supporting) girlfriend. So, my assistant coach tonight is actually incredibly sexy, but has nfi... I just got hit.

Here is a picture of your coaching staff for the weekend:

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

EDIT: Leggie in for Proud Pies (late withdrawal)

Loving that style of inspiration coach. Can we get a bit of that sugar..er...pep talking!

Centreline Knuckleheads wont disappoint, naturally.

Good to see Troppo in the team. His Townsville experience will steer him well in the tackling dept. Fighting in some of the clubs up here is good experience, specially amongst the thugby faithful.

Rudeboy...argh..what can I say. Will probably pull a heart muscle. As long as you pull your weight Mr. Weazy, we'll feed you plenty of lace out passes. Dont disappoint, or its back to the soft drink lorry for you!

Lets kick butt Nicksters!

Very solid team.
I think there will be alot of spitting when the Bitchmond boys come off the ground...and that will be just half time. I predict by the time we are finished with the toothless tigers it will be golden showers all round at full time....but they are probably looking forward to that anyway.

Go Pies!!!

After endless hours of research in collaboration with Speedo I can now finally reveal the highly anticipated, much vaunted secret weapon which I have no doubt will give me an insurmountable edge in all facets of on field performance.

Hey fair dinkum let's put Magpie Dan into assistant coach position... and vice versa...

Haven't seen much of the Ru on the track, how's the form been?

hmm, Magpie Dan in a mug shot, kissing the coach. I'd like to see that! Laughing

On the bench but that's ok. God only knows our coach uses the rotations more than any other, 691 last game if I recall from all the media sources this week.

Don't know if I really deserve a shot in the team.

I'm very selective about which grounds I choose to play on (I prefer Victoria Park... Taverns), and most weekends I'm too busy with political stuff to play footy...

But no complaints. Smile
