Green and Teale (the team with way too many “J’s”)

As I was walking towards the field last night I was thinking the wind might make for a challenging game, but it actually worked in our favor! Draft Punk has always been a great team to play against over the years.  This year, unfortunately, they seem to have a pretty intense male player who was probably just pissed off because he was an idiot and biked to the field last night from the Halifax Shopping Centre .  Who does that!??? But to make up for the douche bag on the team they have a super funny guy who I think we all noticed and got a kick out of.  Draft Punk had the best “Three Cheers for the Bag of Hammers” cheer. The dudes laugh at the end was classic!

This week’s showing was so much better than last week’s showing.   We had two full lines of guys, a female sub and two adorable McAfee boys to cheer us on!  After a quick breakdown of the rules to the very new players of the sport and Chris being the Lawyer that he is requesting evidence that the theories of the plays really do work, we took to the field.  I am sure Colleen, James and Chris were thinking “what the hell did I get myself into”.  With ultimate lingo being thrown around throughout the game I am sure the newbie’s were wondering if we really were being forced home and having poached eggs after the game. 

We took a quick lead, Aaron rushing down field at lightning speed to get that first point of the game. We were feeling confident as we gave each other butt slaps on the line after the first point. Okay okay, maybe the whole butt slap part didn’t really happen but I wanted to give Aaron a butt slap after that amazing first point!

We have some very athletic players on the team this season.   Did anyone else notice Sandy and James high tailing it up and down the field numerous times throughout the game? I wasn’t sure if they were just racing each other or messing with their defender.   And Sanjeev and all of his many layout attempts.  Sanjeev told me last week he was still trying to get the grass stains out of his shirt from last year and after watching him play last night I actually believe that!!

We must have done something right when explaining the game because every single newbie on the team scored a point!  Our handlers (Jamie, Jen, Dan and on the odd occasion Jay) did extremely well handling the disc up the field despite the wind.   Cuts from Amiee , Aaron and Sanjeev were incredible leaving their defenders in the dust.

  

Next week we are playing the evil “Dodgeball” team. Aaron reminded us all of a few of their guys.  He particularly pointed out the dude who thinks he is all that with the pencil beard.  I will attach a picture of what he might look like this year so you can stay away from him next week ;)  It was also suggested that we all grow pencil beards this week and mock the dude lol. I will leave that up to you to choose but I am seriously considering it ;)

My only advice for next week’s game is to come out strong and do some dodgeball ball slapping!

If you didn’t notice we have a lot of names that start with “J” on the team this season so we thought it might be good to have some nicknames.  Especially when it comes to James and Jamie.  Last night Jamie said we can just call him “Teale” and we thought it would be appropriate to call James by his last name “Green”.  Once we said it out loud the whole table cracked up. Teale and Green. Now that is funny shit :)

The Armview, split the nachos nine ways, too much balls talk at the table, player of the game goes to… the three newbie’s of the sport!! Colleen Batstone, James Green and Chris Keliher!! What a great first showing from all three!  

See you cats next week! Expect for Colleen who is to cool for us and will be traveling to Brazil for two week to watch four World Cup games. Ya, we hate scraper already ;)  

Yours truly,

Becks
