What, your mum wouldn't like to see you playing for Australia?

[Alex7089]

She'd prefer a more steady job but she would want me to do whatever made me happy :P

Wait, I've figured it out.

You would open the batting for Australia, I would open the bowling for Canada :D Sweet!

[Alex7089]

Well that wouldn't work. Canada's team is full of Indians..>HP :P
jk.

I'd prefer if you went to another test nation so I could smack you around for 5 days instead of 1 :P

That is why I have taken up footy again - cos I have quit smoking.

[MissPiesFF]

Good luck Valk and well done on the giving up smoking.

PS. The only people I am game enough to play footy with is the AUS kick and even then  its not very nice when you get 8 girls and boys tackle you at once. OUCH ha

What club was it?

[valkorum]

Well that is pre-season done.  First game is this Sunday and officially I am playing in the ruck.

[valkorum]

I got through my first game without any injuries so am happy with that.  One of our players did an ACL though which is not good news as he plays in our midfield.  This left us with 3 on the bench and allowed the other team to run over the top of us.

We lost by 2 goals (14 points) in the end.  I played ruck 1 out against 2 bloody monsters - both about the same height as me but considerably heavier (+30-40kg).  I killed them in the center bounce ruck contests but went 50/50 (ok, prob 40/60) in the contests around the ground as I couldn't move them.  I had speed and endurance on them so I was able to run them around in the middle of the ground.

I nearly kicked a goal, got a nice receive around 50 on the right hand side - was under a bit of pressure so had to kick.  Was really only trying to put it to the goal square where our FF was but it carried quite well.... unfortunately it was touched on the line.

I am a little sore today and am glad that we only play every 2nd weekend so I have plenty of time to recover before the next game.
