Tenth!!
Our season is officially over. What a great season it was too. All the boys should be proud of themselves for coming tenth this year considering the obstacles put in front of us. We’ve been pummelled by injury, have been coached by Johnny ‘The tomato faced dinosaur’ Lang and have had to put up with Russell Crowe popping into the dressing rooms every game day plugging his Best of TOFOG CD.
Speaking injuries, the one I sastaned against Brisbane was one of the worst I ever had. The pain was almost as bad as the time I missed lunch when my speedboat ran out of fuel off the coast of Bowralville. The worst thing about injuries is that they can leave you feeling helpless – I have been unable to get to KFC all week, nothing but Domino’s Pizza for 7 days.
Now that the season is over we can look forward to mad Monday. Here is my mad Monday costume:
(Actually, that is just my everyday wear, don’t tell Richo or the boys.). A few of the other boys have really put some thought into their costumes; Ham Burgers is coming as a weird looking camera shy Englishman, Isaac Luke as Greg Louganis and John Sutton as a 1st grade footballer.
Unfortunately, Lucky Sandow won’t be coming – he’s too busy counting his money and loling at souths (been there J). Fortunately we still have Johnny Lang for the dwarf throwing comp – that is if he survives the traditional pummelling down the stairs.
I’m often asked: “What do you do when your team doesn’t make the semis?” and “Why are you so fat?” The answer to both questions is the same – I support Melbourne. My tip is Melbourne to win their 4th title this year. I’ve already booked in at Todd Carney Ink to get my 2011 Premiers Tattoo – it will look really naff next to my 2007 and 2009 ones.
So now for the off season. Thankfully I got this injury at just the right time. I can bludge and give the speedboat a workout for a few weeks while all the other suckers are running themselves ragged in the Redfern sand hills. It should be an interesting off season too – our new coach Lizzie Maguire is said to be a real hard disciplinarian. We’ll see how hard he is when he takes a trip down the Souths leagues club stairs.
Well, that’s it for me. I’ll be blogging here and there when I can over the off season, I’ve got to try and fit it in between eating sessions, washing Mr Mundine’s car and speedboat races. Plus our social media professional likes to read our stuff first just in case we embarrass the club or ourselves. She is very professional. Very, very professional.
Yours, GI.
PS: Word up to Bunniesman – I’ll see you in Coffs Harbour for the World Stupidity Championships – We got this.
