Emerson Shield - 2007

[Craig Ryan]

Purple shirts, grog and possibly meat pies. We also bring the entertainment headed by our resident useless whinging POM
What else is there to bring?
We have a few newbies to tournament bowling in our side, but having just been unlucky at the first qualifying, and bowling well in the repercharge, we should be able to drink every other team well under the table. Then with all you cats hungover, we should provide a shield winning performance.

So essentially, the Fremantle Dockers? A team of reasonable talent who will perform well below expectations and bring up the rear....

Interesting.

As for drinking, unless you have a A.Hayes or J.Lowe type in your team, that won't be happening either.

Let's not say things we can't take back... Unlike the Dockers, at least we don't have a trade history as mediocre as Cameron Lings haircut.

The Epping Kangaroos has a bit of a ring to it... doesn't it

Fighting against a relocation already Tonx? :surrender:

You better hope you don't go like they did in their first season. Won the first game (against Geelong) then lost every game from then on....


As for trade history, you will find our football clubs trade history is far worse the Fremantles.

Only time will tell... Being my first Emerson Year as well as the centres ( I converted from Dunn Shield because I hear you guys drink more) It should be interesting to see what all the fuss is about.

Anyone feel like doing V-bookie odds?

I'll have a look into it over the next week or so...
I'll think Werribee will start favourite in both divisions.
I might need to throw some comments in to make things interesting.

not favorites in my eyes

anyone who goes thru repocharge has floors

 

[rychenroller]

Just keep in mind who dominated last time down at Geelong :gun_thug:

Everyone has weaknessess.... some are more apparent then others.

I know where Werribee's weakness lies, and I'm sure a few others do as well, but I hope its something that doesn't get exposed at Geelong. Last year, the same issue arose, but we were still able to get through....

Will be an interesting weekend.

This is correct, Werribee has one weakness.
If we are forced to bowl with our opposite hands then we might only finish Top 3... there we go, I said it. Just had to put it out there.
Last year we all broke our thumbs but still managed to get through. If we had been able to use our opposite hands it just might have been easier

Werribee at EVENS to go back to back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CHRISSY]

As Emerson is only two weekends away... Does anyone have a lane draw.. Or know what time check In is......

 

[CHRISSY]

Adam ,
It doesnt matter who dominated at Geelong last time , all that matters who dominates at Eynesbury and the Growling Frog. I think it is my turn to step up and tee it high and let it fly.....


Chrissy

 

[Phluff]

The lane draw should be out any day now.... Centres should have emailed team details to Geelong by now

Haha I laughed..

Just make sure you dont tee it too high and put a sky mark on that nice pretty sasquatch

 

[rowds]

lane draw might be out next week as terry is on hols this week. Chrissy if you want a sub for golf just ask... have played off handicap of 24

 

[Sydpies]

Werribee Men's team 1/10 Hot Hot favourites. Can not see any other centre getting close. The only way Werribee will get beaten.....if all the teams got together and supplied "Free Booze" all night for the youngsters.

 

[rychenroller]

Sigh...

some of you blokes never learn
