Big Win



I am writing today in ecstasy after watching the colts boys get up over the Collie Smeagles yesterday. And it wasnt just a win, it was a 127 thrashing, almost west coast eagles-like.

It was the first time in a long time that the team has played like a team should, and it showed. Best players on the day were hard to separate, but heres my picks for the day;

Jimmy 'Mr 10' Caldow: played like a true champ at full forward, demanded the ball and got it. Kicked 10 of the best, and even (remarkably) passed one off.

Jacob 'Gorilla' Grylls: Not the biggest kid going around but played with a shit load of heart and courage. One of the best tacklers on the day, also impressed watchers with his ball carrying and the amount of play he set up.

Calum 'Cramps' McMulkin: For someone playing his 3rd or 4th AFL game ever, he played remarkably well. Had a huge amount of inside 50's and linked up well with the backline on his wing. Very ferocious in his tackling, Cal wasnt scared to get in there and get the footy.

Kelly 'Goalski' Duthie: Played only half a game because he was swapping off the bench with pagey, but dominated in the air and ground alike. His pace is unrivalled and kicked one of the goals of the day, a 55 metre set shot. Will be sorely missed.

Thomas 'Fucked-Up-Finger' McMulkin: The clearance king for the day, played one of his best for the year, but couldnt crack a spot in the awards, which shows how well everyone played. Always great to watch, worked extremely well with kelly in the clearances.

So all in all, a great day for the team, and club, as rezzies and league won theirs too. It topped off a great weekend, with Tina's birthday bash taking place on friday night, which the woman didnt feel too good after, did you Em?

Im also happy to report that the eagerly awaited return of yours truly is this weekend, so dont fret.

Im Off like bad milk,

And if you were wondering what the photo up the top is about, its Kelly going for one of his famous marking attempts. Peace
