When Fisting Goes Wrong

If you have come to this website to seek help for Hemorrhoids, or you seem to have trouble holding your bowel movements inside, please read no further. Although, after this game I found it hard to keep my innards where they belong. After a two week break the Cobra's returned to the BPL like a mob flash dance, leaving everyone staring in awe.

We came up against thee Big guns of the competition, the previously undefeated, Passion. The last outing for Cobra's was a bit of a disappointment in terms of outcomes (a draw), but very successful in terms of playing as a team and getting those connections happening. This week, we improved in both departments. Our offence was smooth, flowing and smart. Our defence was not as good as it could have been, but with some lucky turns can be passed as good.

The game started just after 7:30pm. The wind was non-existent as per usual. The crowd swelled up to an all-time high of 3 spectators. The Cobras started on offence and scored. Passion scored, J-Mac starts the next point with a brick, going out the back of the endzone. The pull goes out the back of the endzone for the next two points that Passion score. I think Tyson just needed to tell John 'just relax ayy' before they started landing in.

Passion got up early by one, but the Cobra's fought back to take half 8-7. During the break, we talked about how it felt good to be up at half, but we needed to keep our heads down and keep playing the game. After some settling words from Wetnose, Abra took the floor with his always impressive g-up speeches. It certainly worked.

Cobra's started the second half on defence, straight away we broke with a deep huck from halfway of Wetnose to Jack, who made a somewhat awkward layout/fall to drag is toes for a goal. A couple of points later I was outside the scoring endzone with disc in hand looking at Dan Young on the break side, when someone calls a pick. I then get tunnel vision and see only Dan Young. I look at him and then the front corner, thinking about the scoober I will throw to him. Unbeknownst to me, some defence chump is also looking at me and my eyes. He has played with me too much and knows me too well. As soon as the disc is checked in I throw the scoober, only for him to give it a big old WHAMMY! to the ground. I could only smile.

The game was really tight up until 2 minutes to go at 11-9 Cobra's up. Wetnose frantically calls a time out to see how much time is left. The rest of the Cobra's talk about what a shit time-out it was and proceeded to take the field. We then score the next point to take the game 12-9. Passion were the undefeated team of the competition and since the first round has finished, does this mean that the Cobra's are the team to beat in the competition. Possibly a jump in power rankings?

Passion seemed to be playing with 3 players, the aforementioned, Gref and Julz. All three of these players have great throws, they just need to utilize good receivers in the team like Alex and Tyson. Although Alex is a great handler..... he should of been cutting the whole night. At one point I was guarding Julz. The disc went up for another receiver and I thought they have misread it so I stopped running and Julz gallops straight past me to clean up the sloppy seconds for an easy and very embarrassing point. He didn't even sky me. Even with half my height in vertical jump, he could still sky me. To say the least Passion did not have their best game of the season.

Big Props to Finn for a sweet cross-field inside-out backhand for a goal, Wetnose for some sick D and huge grabs. Isaac had a really sweet dishy pass to Abra for the score. All up Cobra's started to play more as star team rather than a team of stars. The Cobra's are just warming up for their Revenge Rampage, although we might not even have a team next week due to Nationals committments.

Also during the Bye for Cobras, A Juniors training camp was held in Geelong. During the camp both of the Stone's found out that they were in the in team and are both going to be over in Germany with me in July/August. Congratulations Boys.

Let the Cobra Revenge Rampage Begin.
