U12 Boys Champs are STURT

"Woodville Under 12 Div2 Defeated Sturt Div 2"

My favourite reply being:

The SA Film Corporation may be investigating a movie deal based on the game, directed by Scott Hicks, photography by Dean Semmler.

Key Roles to be filled by prominant South Aussies:

Shaun Micalleff and Francis Greenslade are down as the umpires, Alexander Downer is slated as playing the Sturt coach and Jimmy Barnes the Woodville coach. Christopher Pyne is being approached as the Sturt water boy.

Lleyton Hewitt may feature in a non-talking role as the annoying parent with Bec Cartright in the stands as well.

Both Kevin Rudd and Mike Rann have already signed up for cameo appearances as the kids who mop the floor.

Nathan Roberts is geared up (or un-geared up) for a half time streak (contract signed up for $50) with Boti Nagy considering the role of the first aider when Nathan knocks himself out after slipping up on a water spill that Mike Rann missed (where's Karlene).

The acerbic courtside announcer is to be none other than the pride of Woodville High School himself, Peter Goers.

Should be a hit on You-tube.

I forgot to mention the boys. As consensus seems to be that Sturt are evil, the Sturt boys will b played by orcs and the Woodville boys by hobbits.

Filmed at Athol Park (but made to look like the Dome), the scores are tied up in the dying seconds of the game when an orc rips off the arms of a hobbit in an arm hack.

First aider Boti Nagy rushes to the poor lad's side, and when the camera pans onto him he stares down the lens "you know what the difference is between this lad and the NBL salary cap? They're both 'armless" BOOM BOOM

The umpires Shaun Micalleff and Francis Greenslade were reminiscing about their glory days in Adelaide University Footlights ("Supoena hard day's night" eh boys) and missed the hack, but quickly summon the floor moppers. Rudd has disappeared to China (after appearing on Rove) and Rann, upon seeing work to be done, sends in backup mopper Kevin Foley to clean the court and quickly organises a trip to Japan.

With 2 seconds on the clock and all tied up, the fat kid who has sat on the bench all year and not played gets to the court and is thrown the ball. He throws the ball from his backcourt for a swish (thank you Andrew Webber for playing the stunt man)

Meanwhile, as the Toorak tractors file out of the gates, in the carpark a dejected homeless man on a park bench finds a dollar dropped in the grass "I'm rich again!" As the camera pans in, the face of Eddie is revealed (refer changingplaces/coming to America)

Last time there was this much talk about U12 was two years ago when Woodville knocked off Sturt in Div 2. Woodville was coached by a chap called Ray Pearce who had apparently been told by Woodville that his services were not required for next season. Woodville came from 3rd to snare the title.
Looks like a couple of parents must of had some sherberts to celebrate the win and created the post - have a look at the site history and have a laugh at what was said. Makes this year's mudfest look ordinary.

Sadly though, of the Woodies boys who played in Ray's team I don't think many are still playing

An additional grade in U12 is proposed for next season. The Super-Duper Premier League will sit above the Division 1 state league.

Rather than play for fitness, fun, enjoyment and cheap plastic trophies, any club participating in the SDPL will be required to nominate a cattle or sheep station which will go into the prize pool.

Part of the nomination fee will also contribute to a team of physios who will offer free ego massages to parents on the sidelines during games.

......it'll never be over........

I am just glad all this hype is over!
