And it begins ...Date: 25/04/2004 I played a half of footy today, I didn't get on until after half time but at least I used my time well. For a change, I was up the forward line (the last year I played was in the backline). I actually like it more there as I can use my stamina to my advantage (I spent most of my time moving around, keeping my opponent busy  )
I had two marks, three kicks, a few handballs, a few hitouts (not bad for a 5'10" ruckman  ) and a point (missed by a foot damnit! >< ). I started off in the forward pocket and by the end of the game I was moved to full forward  I even had players swapped on me before moving! Unfortunately we lost by about 6 goals (hence being happy about not that many stats overall)
I'm a bit sore as I got "set up the bomb" (cs term for those that don't know ) and got crunched as I tried to take a mark under a high ball (got slightly winded but bounced straight back up and took the ruck from the boundary throw in)
It really sad, I think I would probably be able to be on the ground from the start of the next game except that I'm off to Canberra for bike riding 
Oh well, there is always the week after
There are some on the team that are trying to give me the nickname of "the fridge" - it must be because I'm white and can look after beer I think I might just stick with "stevo" (they don't know about "swampa")
Also on footy - yay! \o/ The Melbourne Demons won again and are now into the top five Keep it up Dees!
Thats about it from me today
Later,
Steve
