SPORT v Football
What’s the prescription for the United Tigers? EVERY team has now had a run at the completion of round two and judging by the amount of emails I’ve received, it looks like I’m going to have to don the white jacket and hand out some advice as Doctor Rick. “Dear Dr Rick, who is this guy in my team? I’ve never seen him before. Yours sincerely, Perplexed United Footballer.” To be honest Perplexed, I have no idea either but after some research, here’s some background on your most recent team mate. His name is Anthony Vallejo, a former captain and current life member of the St Mary’s Football Club in the Northern Territory Football League. Vallejo has a rather decorated playing history, best known as a tough defender in his earlier years but appears to have snuck into the forward line in his most recent seasons and going by Saturday’s efforts. Nicknamed ‘Chopper’, he has over 200 senior games to his name. To fix the ignominy of not knowing who the hell each other are, I prescribe a conversation to gradually fill in the blanks before and after each game. To my next complaint; “Dear Dr Rick, what happened to the Rams on the weekend? We are supposed to be a top two team
THE BANDWAGON With Rick Shaw but the Eagles absolutely killed us. Yours sincerely, Matt.” Matt, it came as a real surprise to me too, after I suggested the Eagles were going to get a solid caning. After watching this one, all I can really advise is the Eagles simply wanted it more from the start. Once again, as with last week, they were underestimated and their opposition has paid the price. I prescribe a week of fasting, as Hummocks-Watchman Eagles were clearly hungrier for the win than the Rams, and duly feasted on the sumptuous tenderloins of victory. By the way, column favourite Zackery Zilm nailed a goal on the weekend and the young Eagles really battled well against the Rams colts. The kid can talk the talk and walk the walk. Finally, to my last query; “Dear Dr Rick, I’m 10 and I like to go for the Roosters but they lost on the weekend. It was close until
the end and then it wasn’t close. By Tommy from Two Wells.” Tommy, while you didn’t ask a question, I understand what you are trying to say. Glenn ‘Pigeon’ Dawson nailed nine goals to sink the Roosters but I wouldn’t really know how to stop him, I haven’t seen him play since juniors. However, I know someone with some expertise in this area, which follows; “Tommy, I have been trying to stop the Pigeon for decades now and while I have failed hundreds of times, I’m currently working on a new flying machine, which should enable me to get up there and catch him in mid-air. I’ll let you know how I go. Yours sincerely, Dick Dastardly (and Mutley).” I hope that helps. This week, Balaklava should hand a hiding to Hamley, Two Wells should get over United, while I’m jumping on the HWE bandwagon in a tight one over Mallala.
