The new season awaits: Maintain the Rage


IF ITS WORTH DOING ONCE, ITS WORTH DOING 3 TIMES

As the snowflake melts to join a trickle and joins a stream to form a creek; these creeks are forming to create a mighty river that is the 'Over-Touchers' 2012 Touch Footy Campaign.

As the world nervously await the selections of the core unit of the 2012 Touchers, The Chairman and his task force 'Get the Best'; have taken reports of the 2011 team and what each member has been doing in the off season to ensure they are ready to shoot out of the blocks come game one. These forming creeks are each players off-season contribution to the mighty river of the 2012 campaign.

The Chairman is going
over his list and he is checking it twice....he is trying to find out who is....well I think you get the rest.

The VC has reported in, and informed this shrinking violet of a sports commentator, that he and the Locksmith have been playing together nicely. They have found solace in the knowledge that glory is not to be found in amateur mid week touch footy games but in the cauldron that is mid-week Soccer. However, reports that they have taken calls from Milan to replace Del Piero have failed to be truthful.

Bob The Builder and Milton have been going brick for brick in the development of their retirement homes deep in the bowels of Deepest Darkest Duffy's Forest. Comparing the too and the efforts they have put in is like comparing the builders of ancient Rome....confirming the ancient tales of history and in their cases too,  its obvious that Rome nor their palatial dwellings were built in a day.


Its been reported they flew to the land of the hobbitts.....no not Cronulla....to undergo altitude training. It can now be confirmed today, that these two hardened builders were documenting the 2012 team fines rules charter. This sub-commitee formed by the Chairman is due to report in at anytime.


Harro...well I gotta say its been a lot of promises for not a lot of chocolates. Claims that he has asked the VC and Locksmith on numerous occasions to fix his bike, so he could train with minimal pressure on his bumble bees
[knees !!!], have fallen on deaf ear's. But time spent watching that event they call AFL week in week out ...blah blah blah....does nothing to improve the motor skills required to catch and pass the rugby league ball.

Bill the Eagle is in lockdown at this time as his team, the 2011 NRL Premiership winning team the Mighty Mighty Eagles goes into battle in just a few hours against the Cows from North Queensland. Bill, we are told, is preparing for 2012 in a stealth like environment to regain the talents he showed the people in 2010 and 2011.


Yes that's right VC Manly were the 2011 premiers. Until such time your Dogs achieve anything in 2012, they will still be that team that came almost last in 2011. Bill and the other Manly tragic's look forward to 545pm on the 30th September....REVENGE.


From the lack of information from Jonty, PB and Big Bad Brett, I can only assume they have been forming their own creeks to find that path to victory in their own special ways.


I have heard from Biggsy. Turns out he has been trekking through Peru and was last seen on the ruins at Machu Picchu. He was seen shirtless and covered in some sort of glistening oil. His band of loyal followers had followed this man through sleet and snow, through fire and rain to the serenity that is the lost Inca City.

The Chairman just hopes he is back for GAME 1 !!!!!


Me you ask...oh shucks okay now that you have asked. The anger management program has worked a treat. My dear tortured wife has never seen me happier and more willing to do the chores around the house. At times I think she sent me on the wrong bloody course....but serenity now....serenity now.

So now the world awaits the selections from the Chairman's task force.


Until then you just there and be patient.

Think of that damn melting snowflake that builds to become the floods that devastates villages and towns across the valleys of South America. Somehow I just know it had something to do with Biggsy's chanting in the far alps of Peru.

Yours in waiting to here to see if I have been selected,


Full Metal

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...
