Who here plays footy?

McRooster · May 27, 2010, 11:13:01 PM

Played all my junior footy with Martin Pike, Scott Bamford. Trained at North Adelaide (hence McRooster) under 17's when Wayne Carey was in the 19's and then he got drafted to the Roos.
Did my shoulder playing basketball in off season and that was all she wrote :'(
Started umpiring coz fitness was still good and smoked it!

Yes roo boys!, I have showered with the Duck!

Oh, so we are naming names now :P

Played high school footy with Shane Woewodin and played cricket with Dalziell (damn good all rounder)

Shall I add that I was part of Martin Pike's often unmentioned 5th premiership! Under 12's for Ingle Farm v Semaphore Park. Got the first hard ball get, 1st free, 1st kick and 1st pie after the game!

Nah not really, we won the Quit Cup with Shane as Captain.

No wonder you're experienced coach Valk ;). Wish I knew players :'(.

Haven't known any actual footballers but have a friend who might be going up for the draft next few years.

I'm in my first season of footy in VIC since U16's in QLD, now 22 so about 6 years out of the game.

Managed to get into the Senior squad and get a couple of mentions in Best players but just hoping to lift the skills to what they used to be as 6 years without a footy in hand decimates the running pressure skills.

ZOMG you may as well just say you go to school with the next hall of fame inductee. Toy will be a gun. Heard it here first ;)

Jackson Trengove also went to my school and club and ROK played at my club.

Nice 8). Hate it when you don't play it for a long time then have to get back into the groove. Few Best on fields might mean the rust is coming off pretty quick :D. If you still ain't at 100%, lets see how it pans out when you do reach that level :o. Best Player in the league on the cards? ;)
