Round 6 saw the men's seniors team make the longest trip in N/W state league 3 along the camera infested western ring carpark/princess freeway to the north shore of geelong for the prime time Friday night game against Geelong. Changes to the squad included AD 'serie C legend' & Daniel 'bones' Seiney being given a run in the magoo's & Nick 'Disco' Vissaris away in Sydney where he was invited to the cross by John Ibrahim to be a gogo dancer in his club. Inclusions to the squad saw Cang 'triad' Pham & Alex 'menage et trois' Palazollo getting the call up along with first timer Tommy 'Denim' Randla. Tommy was obviously not informed on the attire required to play senior football as he was dressed like he was part of a Stefan 'John Galliano' Busso fashion parade....to sit on the bench. All class though tommy in how you managed to make soccer boots & jeans combo look like there was nothing wrong with it. You could teach cuonga 'kfc' pham a thing or 2.

The game itself wasn't a pretty spectacle like coach archie's jacket was. Gee there are a few contenders for the clubs best dressed.....La Trobe started of reasonably well with some composed possession in the backline however that only lasted a short time as Geelong quickly took control of the game & started to put La Trobe under some serious pressure. Not too sure what was up with the lads as they looked nervous under the bright lights of Friday night football. Simple passes were not being made & this resulted in the team looking second rate. The assistant coaching staff were on standby to take over the head job as senior coach Luca F almost blew a fuse due to the team not responding to instructions....cough...natsis....cough. Raf & Moutis were seeking advice from Seiney & duts for paper rock and sissors to see who got the nod....the coaching staff were happy to get to half time at 0-0. The squad were handed ear plugs from concerned fans as they expected a roasting from the coach...this was not the case from the experienced campaigner, coach Luca F. It was a simple, composed message at the break aimed to get the side back on track.

....apparently the squad forgot to take the ear plugs out as the message didn't get through. Geelongs constant pressure finally paid off when a cross off the right wing found the block head of one of their strikers and amazingly hit a flat side of their head to direct the ball in to the back of the net. La Trobe needed to lift if they were to get something out of the game however their jetlagged bodies just didn't allow them to lift. Geelongs second goal came when young David 'speedy gonzales' G was posing for a photo from his fan club & had the ball taken off his feet by this bloke who looked like his twin brother (height & size), the ball was crossed to another waiting blockhead who calmly slotted it in to the back of the net. There was still a good 20min to go however it wasn't going to be La Trobes day. Saying that, David 'our English run around the keeper friend' Greening had a handful of chances to peg a couple back for the team however he insisted on trying to take on the keeper which proved difficult as the keeper sat on his goal line all game. Changes were made late in the piece however the game was already lost by this stage. 2-0 it finished to Geelong & the long trip home was made worse for La Trobe. The drive towards next week against scumville cheating pricks now began. All the best lads.

Best on ground - there were no obvious recipients in my opinion so I had to look elsewhere. Oscar 'diego' Mora gets the gong for his ridiculous attempted celebration after bagging a couple of goals. Question remains, shouldn't you be polishing your noggin rather than your boots if you score a header? What's with the tumble after your second goal? Credit to the kid though for coming and shaking all the lads hands at halftime before heading in to the rooms, keep the form up champ.

The Eagle.
