Doveton football Club

                                                     

Text Box: The Two's Well its finally happened, on the weekend I played my first seconds game, after 17 seasons of senior footy your bald buddy played against ROC twos on the weekend. It felt strangepreparing for a game so early, so straight off the bat I walked in, cracked a few funny ones and felt completely at ease. Twos footy is a little different so it did take a while to get used to the style of play but one pleasing aspect was to see first hand some of the young blokes have a real crack, head over the ball and body's on the line the things unfortunately you cant teach. Early in the game I had one confused little individual have a couple of cracks when I was playing the pill, but soon as we came face to face not only was it brought to my attention that he had no balls, the uneducated self satisfying little wombat was one of the most unpleasant humans I have layed my eyes on and I just happened to let the pea heart know the truth. We held a good lead but half way through the last quarter roc got with in two goals and things got a little shaky, that was until Chris Egan took a mark on the wing, I lead out and as I did I told real McCloy to stop coming forward, because he was leading his man into my space. Well Jason McCloy did listen and stop but the ROC player kept coming which left me with only one choice and that was to use his back as a platform for the highest grab I have ever taken. I got up that high I changed one of the light bulbs the tennis club have been complaining about to the council for years. Not to be out done by the clean hands in mid air  I landed on my feet dished out a handball to Slicka who kicked it long to his brother Robbie who kicked the sealer. so all in all I enjoyed my first taste of twos footy .Then for the first time I watched the ones play, in the first half I was not  coping to well but the second half  was enjoyable as the guys started to run and link up and play some of the best footy this year. One thing I must get used to is the early start on the drink but if I don't you will hear the bullshit first in Mottys moments so stay tuned.              all the best Motty
