Yes I am procrasinating from my thesis - sue me

As I sit here wishing I was @ Oakman park at the first training session of the Firestorm calander, looking down at the big wod of paper that is my thesis (with pen written all over it), I might be excused to expanding a bit more on than a comment...

You may have heard that Heroes Ultimate's own Danny 'Dstrel' Strelan was recently awarded the AFDA recruiter of the year. Well now we've made it to the big stage with an AFDA write up to boot

Many would know me to be the modest individual but this time I thought we'd make an exception and congratulate the club on a job well done over the last few years.

A good night for the club all round

Last night was a very good round for the HUC with all teams recording 2 point wins.

Heroes 13 D Dyspnoeics 11
AayOhh 10 D Mellow Yellow 8

Well done to all teams and players Im sure there were lots of exciting moments to blog about. So get up your captains if they arent doing it :P

Counting the history

Just before Halibut, the Incredible HUC and I were thinking... I know right! - I was actually thinking. Wouldn't it be cool to find out how many have gone before us to serve and protect, to fight for justice and the ultimate way. So both myself and the Incredible HUC mossied on further into the secret hideout and tripped over some boxes (its dark in that cave... oH i've said to much).

Here's the list of all the heroes that have been and come before the current players.

Ok so we have 80 92 individual players whom have at least registered on a AFDA nominated heroes team. This is impressive. And this will only grow!
Other random facts:
- First Heroes team established in c2007 and named "Huddys Hereos"
- Danny Strelan and Sean Mailander are the grandfathers of the team having played in every season since the first team was entered as Huddys Heroes.
- Famous names inc: Nathan Litzow (original player - who would have known?), Andrew Goldstiver, Emily Goldstiver, George Silent Salisbury, TomSteve [BPL MVP ;-)] Jangles (adam beu)

(Disclaimer - Ive checked and re-checked that their are no double ups of names but if a mistake is found let us know cause we want to get it right. Also I know some might have been playing for heroes before others but the numbers go by the official registrations as per AFDA, so if you weren't organized enough to sign up to that, that's why you might have a higher Heroes number. Any new players will now be added to the bottom of the list, this goes for players who might come before others and we did not know about them. I don't want to re-assign individual lifetime heroes numbers, purely cause I'm #29 and I can only remember one number.)

Keep in the know

Ok for all those things Heroes Club related that dont get posted on the blog, please feel free to sign up to the Heroes-Ultimate Google group. This will include training info, tournament info and parties.

heroes-ultimate@googlegroups.com

Expect to be able to read emails from the club and get yourself in the know. This is especially good for all those newer members to the club and then now when people say they didn't know about things, there will be a reason (its cause you're not signed up to the group!)

Itching for ultimate

Righto currently the new registrations are open for the BUML. We now have three teams Heroes and Agent Orange in div 2 and Heroes in Div 1. Sign up, do it now

Log onto AFDA or find it on our links to look out for .

Not to sure what happened with the Heroes breakup party and the drafts made up in terms of the team/s but I heard it was quite organized, so please someone let us know what happened.

Note: Learn to play nights are happening across Brisbane and we here in the secret heroes lair want you to get out to them. If we want this Agent Orange team to suceed then we need our current players to go out and find some talent. This is everyones responsibility. If we can find our friends and workmates that would be good to play with it would be great! Right now apparently we're stretched across these teams so lets get busy on scouting.
One place to do this would be at (and this is a re-post from the BUML website)

Next week you can play at Griffith University Lights will be on.
On the 21st June there learn to play again 3 fields will be set up.
Invite your friends and family to come learn Utimate

BUML Awards

Here in the Heroes secret lair, its been decided that these soon to be covetted throphies should be given out to the Most Improved Player, the Heroes Most Spirited Player and the Most Valuable Player. These awards will be given out tonight before kicking on at the brew house.

Club Tradtions

This Heroes Ultimate Frisbee Club has been around for a long time. In that time we have enjoyed moments of success and failure. Throughout there has been a strong sense of unity and passion for the club that we all love. To honor that tradition it is time to start to reward some of our best playing efforts both on and off the field. So Make sure you're at the game on Monday Night for our 3rd place show down so after it (when we win) we can give our some awards for best and fairest, most improved, hardest working and so on.

We will also be planning the post season party so be there to have your say.

Also in the mode of tradition lets reflect on where we came from (photo supplied by Dstrel and Sean's Facebook)

It's all in a name

So, Heroes Ultimate has long been a well supported team on the Brisbane local scene and in recent years this club has enjoyed steady growth where it was necessary to start a second side (agent orange). But all this time our caped crusader has been nameless! What kind of a super hero do we have if he/she doesn't have a name? And more importantly a good one!  Think about it, Bruce Wayne could have been "Koala Man" - lame; Peter Parker might have been -  "The terrific Termite" (I stole those from a website). The fact is, a superhero's name is the starting point for costume design, gadget names, the whole persona thing... Except we have the costume and the persona based on a many years of service in BUML. SO WE NEED A NAME and the search is on. Make a comment get involved. Who is this guy? I'm looking at you Gavin.

Post a name and we'll vote on it later

Announcement

Heroes play Griffith Go Go's on Monday night at "Where else but Griffith..."
Should be a good game to notch up another win for the steam roller that is the Heroes Mixed Team
Game starts 7.15pm Be there eariler to help set up and get a training drill in, I've got a good one for us to do

Sucess on the Brisbane Stage

Some of you may have seen this already on the Brisbane Ultimate Disc blogspot (refer to link in the side panel) BUT for all you slackers who don't keep up to date with your mid-week Brisbane blog I'd like to announce that the new Heroes Ultimate Blog has come in 3rd with a score of 7/10.

And with the Heroes Blog about to be inundated with web traffic following their win over Cobras I'd suggest that its likely to move upward.
