Grand Final

Yes everyone I am still alive. I know you were all worried about my well-being but I just haven’t had anything noteworthy to write about for the blog. So I figured, rather than bore everyone with the mundane details of my life as a waiter/ janitor I would wait until I had something more exciting to write about.

This past Monday I attended the end of the season banquet for the Brisbane Premier League with the rest of the Wolves squad. It was a fun night, especially having the entire team and support staff there to celebrate our achievements thus far. In addition to receiving the Premiership trophy for keeps ,the league passed out individual honors and named the team of the season. Steffen Vroom took home the Golden Boot award for scoring the most goals in the league this year, he was also named to the Select XI team of the season along with myself, Drew Jeskey, and Trent Clulow, and our head coach Sam Saif was honored as the coach of the year. I just missed out on being named the player’s player of the year by one vote, the reason being I didn’t play in the final game due to suspension, guess that’s what I get for being a rebel.

After attending the banquet most of the team decided to extend our night a bit further, and where else to go on a Monday night at 11 than the Treasury Casino, which was conveniently located across the street from the hotel our banquet was at. Now, this is my first visit to a casino ever so I was quite happy when I walked out up $5 including drinks, some high roller I am. I was able to make my money playing roulette on these monitors that they have at the casino, that way you don’t have to bet in front of everyone, and it gives you all the information on the 15 previous rolls so you can make a more informed bet, or at least makes you think that you are. Either way it was a good way for me to get my feet wet and learn the game.

Other than this night out with the boys, these last few weeks have been focused on ending the season on as good a note as possible. We have finally been able to get back on to a regular training routine leading up to the Grand Final this Sunday evening. We also know that our opponents will be Rochedale, who will have played 3 games in 8 days, including a double OT Cup final Wednesday night, while we have been regaining our legs and sharpening our play in anticipation for the final. Needless to say I can’t wait to play Sunday night, and I know the entire team is looking forward to capping the season the proper way.

So look out for the result of the Grand Final. Hope all is well back home!
