The guernsey


Based on the traditional Port Adelaide Magpies strip, this is the home and away guernsey for the Buenos Aires Armadillos. AFL club North Melbourne have been bagged for wearing something similar, but the Aramdillos believe they will not be given the same reception.

So PB, why are you hiding it (tiny words under coaching stuff), can't beat copy and paste in Word, make it bigger

[bomberboy0618]

You could just quote it :P.

You must be mistaken. I blame one of the mods on this one, i didn't put that there. :-\

The word is that the Armadillos have found the space to afford an assistant coach. They are currently in discussion with a few managers.

[PowerBug]

And the Armadillos have found an Assistant coach. I don't think the recuitee realised he would be given nothing but Bread, water, and Subway Cookies for his wage, but we have an assistant coach:

So with the season starting in around 2-3 months, the coach has decided to call off all training until Early February. Yesterday the players were treated to a 6-course meal in the heart of Buenos Aires, pigging out on alot of food and sculling down over 3 beers each. Captain Dane Swan was very happy with the idea that the coach came up with:
"It was a very fun day, the whole side bonded together and we all know each other 'very' well after the long day and very long night."


Armadillos's recruit Billie Smedts having a bite to eat.

Word from the Argentinian Police is that the players woke up at the back of the restaurant early Monday morning in a massive heap. Thankfully for the Armadillos, no photos have been released of this incident so it can only be taken as rumours for now.
