Footy training started last night - January 24th, 2006
The first training of the year and time to start to work off that Christmas belly. Met the new coach, met the new boys, the numbers are pretty thin, but i suppose that is to be expected as people start to filter back in. Pre-Season is always a bit thin on numbers as the boys try to stay away until all the hard running is done and it’s onto the match preparation and ball-work (not that sort of ball-work). Me, i look forward to pre-season, as the sun is out and i’m usually feeling like a bit of a fat pig on a spit after all the christmas food and drink has consumed me for the past few months.
That first kick off a footy on your first pre-season training is always a dirty one too, i haven’t kicked a footy since winning the granny last year (bung knee), and my kicking is always worth a laugh at the best of times, let alone after an off-season without even so much of a kick.
Here’s to a successful year back in divvy one. Lets hope my knee holds out.
