While we're not playing disc - get your smack out

With the 'rain' about and the lack of Monday and Thursday night league the comments are open to all weather related SMACK talk. Feel free to trash it, get it out of your system or forever hold your precipitation. Some of the SFC boys might like to chime in

And the Lord said "Let there be sun for three days straight" and there was Frisbee.

What a terrible last month this has been for Frisbee in South East Queensland. Following Queensland's wettest September on record October has continued the trend of raining out events and causing general depression throughout the population.

First we go back to September 21 where Heroes and Discheads were originally meant to have their showdown for second place which started the tradition of beers and burgers at Archive. Then we experienced rain just about every weekend, making it near impossible to get out on the bike or have a throw. Then we have the cancellation of the South Bank to Southport 100km bike ride which was immediately followed by the second cancellation of Heroes vs DiscHeads, which led to the second episode of beers and burgers at Archive. This night even saw the likes of JdR, and he liked it so much he even mentioned Carl on BUB the next day.

This lack of play caused Heroes to have a down right shocker against Slamtown Flatball Club on Thursday night and the slippery weather contributed to a controversial incident involving an SFC player, a Heroes player, a grand stand and a visible shin bone.

And then there was sunshine (and a shit load of wind), and the sunshine persisted. For it is written that tonight is the night that Heroes take the win over Discheads once and for all. Believe it? Or do you have to be there to see it. I know I will be. Get your tips in for an all-time BUML first on the BUB site.

EDIT: Discheads have a bye tonight. Don't I look like a fool?

On a side note Heroes had our first ever AGM on Saturday - I'm sure more details will be released in another blog post.

Discheads get one up on heroes, placing the egg right on their face in the process

With the amount of blog smack talk taking place on this blog, first things first - it must be said that the smack talk off the field had been rampid from both sides of the fence. But as far as the Heroes side of things went, certainly we thought we would have come away with a win. After all we taught most of these Discheads how to play the game. I guess the result is more of a relfection of good mentoring and ultimate guideance along their way. So its nice to see the work that many members of the Heroes club have put in is finaly paying off, after so long :P. But for now we have the egg on our face.
Chris' explanation of the game is "biasly accurate". Indeed they came out strong and swinging; the Heroes took some early body blows. Obvioulsy the score line will not show just how freakish some of their points really were. There were more hammers in this game than  in a Dojo season and some of the endzone grabs were just lucky (ie Chris' grab under chaddy). BUT in their defense and to their credit, DH's pulled these off on more than one occasion. In the middle part of the game, Heroes showed exactly how we wanted to play, and we did have the DH sideline getting sheepish. Some fundamental errors are what cost us the game, specifically a lazy force and being beaten 'up the line' (this is to be on the wrong side of your direct opponent) These points were the nail in the coffin. Best part of the game for mine was putting a huck out to LauraD (the real D) and seeing her go up against Bev in the endzone. I had every confidence in her, and what do you know, bev got out positioned by Laura and Laura scores.
Finally a word to the hereos

Things that hurt, instruct.

Let this game Heroes be the deciding point of this season. After all it takes a loss to put things in perspective. Gladly looking forward to the next show down.

Heroes green with envy at Discheads dominance

This week saw the underrated Discheads face up against the overrated Heroes. After much anticipation and a fair amount of smack talk, many were keen to see which team would perform on the night. And the results are in!

The game started with underdogs Discheads firing from the get go, opening up a convincing lead of 6-1. This passage of play featured a good balance of superb in cuts and long options (including a sexy grab by Chris B over Chaddie to score) which seemed to decimate the Heroes zone. Perhaps the slow start was caused by ALL Heroes missing training the day before and almost the whole Discheads squad being in attendance.

Heroes did manage to lift though and managed to reel us in throughout the middle section of the match, and the worry was clear on the bench. I think it got to within 2 points before Discheads was able to stem the flow of points and the last frantic 15mins was just about blow for blow.

The end score saw the magnificent Discheads claim victory 15-11 at time cap. A big shout out to the Heroes girls who played savage all night and didn’t even take a time out! It got a little bit heated at times and a lot of frustration was evident on members of both teams during the match but it was definitely a very fun and intense match.

It was great to see an interclub match and I for one look forward to the next instalment potentially later this year.

Disheads are gonna get it

According to the BUML draw Heroes tonight are playing against "Disheads", and my prediction is that Discheads will get pantsed 17 - 0. Now I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce Disheads, is it Dish Heads or is it more like Diss Heads?

Urban Dictionary defines a dishead as "A person that abuses ecstacy" and another Google search returned a bible verse from Mark 6 "The man went, beheaded John in the prison, and brought back his head on a platter." Either way, neither of these give me the impression that Disheads stand a chance against the mighty Heroes tonight.

Croft's goes down as Dstrel questions training surface

Ala Mick Malthouse and other annoying know-it-alls of the AFL, I see it as my duty to draw attention to the sub-par condition of our beloved Wests training oval. After asking out loud "What the f*#< is up with my ankles?!?", it was brought to my attention that a number of us pulled up sore after Sunday's session. Dave was complaining (no alarms and no surprises please) of ankle soreness, as was James. Could this have contributed to Gav's demise tonight and Luke "all" Star(ks) injury the week prior. For the sake of sensationalist media, the latter case must be considered, and the fact that Luke doesn't train on this ground should be disregarded entirely.

Who else has problems with the surface? Should we consider Oakman?

That is all.
