7-3 vs Vagabundos Da Praia
DC(4)m, TW, CB(2), JH(1)m, CGgk

Unlike previous weeks where anywhere up to 10 nannas were to be seen striding the hallowed halls of wesley college, it was a tight five that took to the court last thursday. A very tight five, arguably the tightest five. And it seemed to work pretty freakin’ well. A diamond formation, Tao hustling up front, Chas and Le Coq Sportif in the midfield (left and right respectively), Iron legs Jim in defense and the funkiest of all nannas in goals. There really is a lot to be said for the tight five. A whole lot of running for starters, but also a real sense of cohesion and communication. Admitidley our opponents weren’t really up to the challenge but they did have some skills, and some pushy arms, not enough body mass behind the arms however to stop LCS from barging his way into the first goal. from there on it was all slick passing and some freakin’ nice shooting. The first Earl of Martindale slotting in a couple of sweet strikes. A couple of very fine saves from Senor Gill and some nice delivery. Jim doing that great kind of scary threatening jumping stompong defense intimidation thing. The last goal of the game was a rather laughable reboundy scrabbly stumble in that should almost be called an own goal, but it won’t because I got it !… erm , what else. Oh yeah it was my choice of eat/drink location. On some dodgy advice from a work colleague I picked a bar (too late for eat) just off chapel street “tyranny of distance”. It’s probably great if you like hanging out at in Prahran but it wasn’t really the nannas cup of tea. Still chassy and LCS took it to the next level with an extended nightcap at joes on the way home which included several beers, some fine whisky (a nod to don draper) and some grown up conversation, freakin tidy action if I do say so myself.

ps. it’s my second to last day at ACMI for ever ! Global financial crisis, huh ? 
pps. touched a RED One for the first time ever yesterday (not mine unfortunately… but soon…) got to love that 10mm Ultra Prime…mmm….
