TRADES

Finally after 400 plus messages The Dolphins are pleased to announce that they have secured the services of young Bulldog TORY DICKSON.

He will be very glad to escape the oppressive Western Suburbs of Melbourne. He told us he is looking forward to the freedom offered in Taipei. He loves Asian food and had grown tired of the eateries in Footscray and let's just hope he doesn't go overboard when he arrives or he'll have to put in a mighty preseason to trim back down.

Regrettably the big old sauce from Brisbane had to be offered as trade bait and due to superior negotiating skills shown by koopkicka, a slight adjustment had to be made to draft pick orders. The drafting committee were concerned that with the likely move of KT to Brisbane, that Daniel would have fewer chances in front of goal and we all know that goals equal lots of points.

All good though and the future is looking pretty damn rosy here in Dolphinville.


ATTENTION!

A second trade has been formalised to further strengthen the already mighty squad available for selection in the league out East in Taipei.

The senior medical staff room breathed a huge sigh of relief, the accounting team rubbed their grubby little hands together with glee and the bandage washers (still a bit old fashioned here at Taipei General Hospital) were able to decrease their overtime with the news that The X Man Mr Xavier Ellis was leaving. Phew!

In his stead, young Sam Wright joins the club he followed as a child.

His elusive style of play will complement his other attacking team mates and we look forward to watching him thrive in the muggy conditions and in the deep pockets here at Kaohsiung Stadium.

Go Dolphins - li Chia pa be?


And for my next trick -

Welcome Matt Rosa - brave, fearless, skillful and very much needed to bolster midfield stocks.

Lost a good draft pick, but need to be competitive in 2013.

Cheers JB

Week 2

At work the other day a guy is post op wearing an oxygen mask and he asks the pretty young student nurse a question, 'Are my testicles black?' She blushes and avoids the issue. He persists so she pulls down the sheet, and ever so gently cradles his scrotum, lifts it up and then a bit to the left and a bit to the right, and says 'No they aren't bruised.'

He pulls off his mask and says 'Come closer' and whispers in her ear ' I said are my test results back?'

Hahaha you don't know how funny that is! haha.
