UTS go into bat for Casey
UTS have continued supporting the worthwhile cause that is raising funds for Casey Tutungi who suffered a spinal cord injury playing AFL in Melbourne. The old football jumper training night was again a hit with the players, including an unnamed duo who made a quick dash from the massage table to make it into the photo, which makes you beg the question why they were on there in the first place....
Bravo Bats!
Manly on the mend
Premiership favourites, Manly-Warringah have shortened in betting with word that star player, Anthony Robertson is on track to return in week one of the finals after breaking his leg early in the campaign.
In a report in the Manly Daily, key defender Jack Lynch and David Stroud should play some part against UTS this Saturday as they also return from injury.
"Motivation isn’t a drama. "The boys know what prizes await if they are good enough." Coach Leigh Brain was quoted in the newspaper.
Leigh doesn’t have to go far for advice with fellow Brain, Levi, nominated by his teammates as the biggest football nerd in the club.
Spotted
Danny had to play the role of an Entertainment Tonight reporter to dig up some goss on a pretty quiet weekend in Sydney football. He was pretty proud of what he has discovered;
- Pennant Hills key defender, Lloyd Shepherd was seen by Seal Rocks locals eating prawns, fruit salad and taking long walks on the beach with his new girlfriend;
- UNSW/ES premiership player-coach and Swans Academy superstar coach, Rhys McAlister was spotted in Sydney Airport reading Cosmopolitan;
- UNSW/ES swingman, Fletcher Rowe hasn't been seen at training for some weeks. It's expected that he has been in his man crushes shadow for the last couple of weeks in Troy Luff.
Blue Currant
Moorebank identity, Brian Currant was forced to wear a Carlton guernsey on last week at training. Currant lost a bet with one of women's team member, Jess Purcell, when he got really cocky about his Kangaroos and had a bet that they would belt the Blues.
Can Chicken cook his Dinner
Ryan Murphy holds a narrow 38 point lead over Curtis Spiers as we head towards the business end of the AFL Sydney Community Fantasy Dream Team League. Expect Southern Power’s Murphy to increase his DT research beyond the current 20 hours a week. Danny has had a disappointing campaign but is eyeing a move up from the middle throngs of the ladder- if you are looking for a moral get in Sam Fisher as he starts to hit his straps with the in-form St Kilda.
Gore and all
In the Division 2 catch-up game at Gore Hill, some lunatic (or legend, whatever way you look at it) did a nudie run across the field and jumped into a waiting getaway car in the hospital car park. A few of the players apparently got anxious knowing they would have to do a similar thing if they don’t manage a goal in the next fortnight.
Special investigation
Danny undertook a special investigation after our post of the same I.P address was used to submit votes for the 20-1 Player’s Verdict on the top AFL Sydney player. It can be revealed, Matthew Lemme has been seen in tears after he was seen at an internet cafe logging onto over 100 computers to vote for himself and man crush (Yannick Milligan Saville) so they could finally be on top together.
Big day for Rams
Finally, the Penrith Rams will be hosting their Past Players/Ladies Day this Saturday at Greygums Oval. Everyone is then invited back to the club’s major sponsor, O’Donoghue’s.
