Round 4, 2011

Ballesty,Beards and BIGGSGATE

This weeks review is proudly brought to you by *id8Studio, your first choice in point of sale displays in your store
Date 11th November 2011
On a night that was important to the evolution of the Overtouchers the New Kids On the Block showed the way.
Coming off the last game that saw nothing but tension, anger and downright lack of fun, the reigning premiers needed to step up and perform. It was the newcomers of 2011 to the team that decided to take the bull by the horns and show the old hard heads the way forward.
Lets get down to the guts of it okay....the game is all about winning, nothing more nothing less and that's the core deliverable of this team. You don't go undefeated for your last 13 games without a mantra that demands excellence.
Led proudly by the Chairman, the team was at full capacity....well sort of but I will get to that later in this highly acclaimed match report.
The team that chose to take the Touchers on was shocked by the in your face attitude. In addition to that intense pressure, they had to cope with the angry salt n pepper beard of the Rookie. The big men laid the ground work in middle of the park. The engine room included the Vice Captain, Locksmith and Billy, saw the Touchers drive their opponents deeper into their own half than Full Metal going into a deep dark barrel at Waimea Bay.
The opposition attempted in vain to taunt the Touchers with all sorts of abuse in an attempt to pull off the band aid on the underlying anger that lies within the Touchers. Criticism of an old blokes girth didn't work !!!! Taunting of the Locksmith after scoring a runaway try didn't work BUT when you decide to take on the Man known simply as Milton; well that's the last straw.
Milton stood tall last night for the team and bellowed 'NO MORE'. Despite his actions bringing the team into disrepute and his actions requiring him to present himself to the board to show show due cause as to why he should not be suspended, I for one can assure you that his actions were embraced by his team mates and therefore, should not draw any restriction on his future services to the Touchers.
The Vice Captain's attempt to veto the Man of the Match award off Faz was quickly dismissed by the Chairman. The incident itself asked some questions of the team management. Was this the first of many attempts by the VC to take control of the club OR was it simply the result of the "FLU" the VC brought to the game?
NOW lets talk about the Elephant in the room: BIGGSGATE.
When a man makes a decision he should be allowed to stick to his decision and NOT play in the premiership defending season.
Who knows what committment's BIGGS has at 745 on a Thursday evening?
HE must be allowed to defend his actions in the correct and proper forum.
IF and only IF he fails to show due cause to the board, then his party facilities for the end of season function will be cancelled and another location will be booked.
BUT the team are reaching out this week to you, BIGGSY, to play this week. Please know you are safe to play next week without ridicule, as Milton will be serving his one week suspension and has been forced to attend a work function that has a free supply of alcohol.
The Touchers wish to thank their sponsors again:
id8Studio your people for a Studio that forces the players to be late for the game and still jag the *Man of the Match award.
TH Hills Golf Club The only place you will find drunken Pro's
Greenworx Leaders in the field of player management and speeches
Savills The only place I buy my commercial property through; WHY? Cause they give me free beer.

A Very Touching Christmas

Now that its the 1st of December, so now I can talk about the upcoming festive season we call Christmas. Any mention of Christmas before December incurs a substantial fine in my world. I am sure all of the Touchers in the corporation have written a list of the goodies they want to see under the tree. But I will come back to that as governance dictates that I write at least a few words about the game last night. We drew 3-3 ... thats it. OH I have to write more ????  OKAY G Plummer and the Locksmith almost tied for Man of the Match. However, Locky lost half a point when he passed the pill 6 feet over my head while I was showing the VC how one runs into a gaping hole to get clear and hopefully score the match winning try. I am sure I jumped but its doubtful there was much air between my size 13 cross trainers and the turf at anytime. So with the loss of that half point G Plummer got the trophy last night. Even with the 3 reserves, all of us had nothing left in the tank ...

Ignorance needed in Injury Management

Normally this article provides a detailed assessment and description of the previous nights game by the Championship team know around the world as the 'OverTouchers'. However, a dramatic turn of events had ensured this article take a different turn today. We have all heard of a players second year syndrome but  last weeks Man of the match, Rami, has broken new ground with 2nd game syndrome. Just on 8am this morning, the ball playing big man sent through the following note: "Small tear in the Achilles boys. No running for a few weeks...physio sessions for a while" Now lets just break that down but first strap yourselves in readers, this may hurt a little . I am stunned, nay, amazed how such a diagnosis can be determined within 12 hours of the games completion. Poor old Jonty had also sent through a note after last weeks game that he too had suffered an injury, torn meniscus, within a small amount of hours after the final bell. Now I thought that the pro...

Touchers new blood policy pays dividends

All good corporations have road maps for succession plans and the Toucher's are no different. With the average age of the mighty team getting higher with each day, the sub committee for Growth and Development approved the signing of a new Toucher, RAMI late on Thursday afternoon. I wanted to name him Rookie but the great Rocket has that name in his portfolio despite him being a key member of the team for 6 years. The playing roster was depleted last night, making the new signing brilliant timing. The following were away for different reasons; Scorpion/Sponsor/DG was in far North Queensland again feeding at the trough of corporate indulgence Rocket/Rookie/Leftie/ was away on assignment and wouldn't tell us were. Smith/Legsy was at home with Meningococcal, Ebola and a runny nose R. Plummer the greatest A Grade player of all time was in traction in North Shore Hospital with a hurty back BBB was of trekking to the base camp of Mt Kosciusko. Shouldn't be too ha...
