The tally of Tiger infidelities hits double figures, as the number in volume rises the quality in conquest diminishes. Slogan variations of the Nike classic reverberate around global cyberspace at sonic speed with the Tiger story filling the voracious belly left empty after the departed Jackson train ran out of magic puff.
Applying honored learnings from a true master - Bart Cummings, this had been the week scheduled for some freshening up. The Lions had delivered a string of results to have the course better understood after a period that was more reflective of Jessica Watson without quite hitting the "unseen" big boat. To be fair it was only bigger than an oval, a simple thing to miss - if not paying attention.
Tuesday leave was granted to all Lions to be used in a return visit to their home club or rest entirely with only the senior group required to attend. Perfect timing as the weather again made things problematic, but a session full of robust energy and spirit was enjoyed on the main planet surface that continues to astound with the smoothness of grass covering. Furious enjoying the chance to again demonstrate his laser like accuracy with the throwing arm, his time will come in a match to unleash this weapon.
Thursday was a complete gathering, the Golden Lions dinner following. Fffffffman was found, or maybe he found himself, emerging from the bunker blinking with nervous uncertainty. The resurrection given some impetus as he was required in isolation to eyeball the group and state his position. All appeared genuine and remorseful, remedy in place - results will be the evidence.
Sounding like a broken record, yet again weather washed out any net action so groups split into Fireman strengthening circuit indoors, Coaches erratic motion drills outdoors. Lane work to challenge balance of angles with the need to be clean with the ball, Mad Dog Ginger using his boxing body movement technique to advantage. Groups changed over and Skipper Dick took the bowlers in a game of Strip Stump, getting down to a rather daggy pair of grey jocks for the final delivery where Moose was unable to execute when being distracted by pasty skin. He is engaged now, saving the effort for non-mate special time where it is most warranted.
Golden Lions with several variations apart from host MC Mitch - Yum Cha dinner and female guest speaker in the expansive Samantha Lane. An unabashed fan is this correspondent of the Lane family having had the good fortune to meet her father - Tim, several times over the years due to a joint friendship in Gideon Haigh. Son of Chairman (SOC) had obviously been rehearsing in front of the mirror for several days as when question time came he unleashed an incessant barrage upon Ms Lane (all delivered with a honey like texture to his voice) completely knocking all others into submission from the start. Full house for the Golden Lions and a good idea to move this one to the Thursday slot for this time of the year as the awareness amongst the group enhances.
Smash to miss with first class duties allowing Resident Emo to return as an attacking option, No Name getting the chance to elevate again into the longer day. Heavy runs in the bank, another good weekend awaits the freshened Lions - roarrrrrr!!!!
