With such a large league happening, it's hard to know who's who and what teams to watch out for. Here's one such take on things with a not too serious edge to things and a lot of bullshit.
Lairy Canaries - Captain: Hugh Osborn
The Lairies are struggling with their identity after failing to realise earlier on what other words "Lairy" rhymed with. Those taunts have stung hard. Another one of the small teams in the league, having only ever had a grand total of 8 players. Fortunately they are the fittest, fastest, baddest 8 people ever to rock a tight-fitting yellow t-shirt. The group contains a complete handful of new players with a mixture of the best brand new "Townsville-based" recruits and the best of what's on offer from the US of A this semester. Two-game nights will make it tough for them to get back up the ladder but last week they managed a win with 6 players, so anything's possible for them.
Ginger Ninjas - Ashley O'Sullivan
Coping with things as any group of Rangas could only hope to do. The Gingers are playing well as a team, possibly better than expected and have had a lot of good upbeat games so far regardless of outcome. This should lead to a strong finish of the season. An injury to Ashley a couple of weeks back was a setback but nowhere near as much as it could have been. Coffee cups with their own names on each could be the key to seeing some more wins this season. No soul sucking though please.
White Savages - Tim Roland
The roster has finally settled after losing their original leader Bobby to an overseas trips. They've picked up the best potential players of the semester in visitors and the Townsville locals alike having gained Owen off the HMF and Damon "Rookie of the Season" Scott from the Canaries early on. Tim the idiot is typically busted up having dropped a full 50kg keg of beer on his big toe at the start of the season putting him out for weeks, and now apparently he's got a bung ankle after dirty tactics from Red team which they call the "Schmankle" or smashed ankle offensive. The leadership is spread three ways but without egos in these position that should be a great thing for them. Some more time is required to pool their collective know-how on captaining and playing ultimate and this will end up leading their team to get them some more wins. If they support each other in the manor of Tie Dye's last semester then they could probably come through as a more dominant team. This team could go feral or could bring down a Sabretooth. The passage of time will tell.
Albino Rhinos - Chris Ende
Not much is known of this rare Rhino. Apparently it lacks pigment which expresses the underlying skin as a kind of salmon pink colour that Chris finds to be a turn-on when worn on guys. Captain Chris Ende. Rampant. Raw. Viscous. Those are the words I would use to describe his frisbee. RRV is the acronym for that. The same sound as the Albino Rhino is rumoured to make during mating. It's actually quite a high-pitched sound and is often mistaken for the call of a bird. Birds. Their shadows during the day make me think someone's thrown a frisbee over my head that I need to try and catch.
Tie Dye Another Day - Matt "Finny" Finn
Finny. Struggling to get the wins he had last year. Has a lot of up-and-coming handler types on the team but it just doesn't seem to match it against the teams in the league this semester. Perhaps more patience with the disc will prevent the fat lazy handler stereotypes from having to play the much dreaded defense? Patience with the disc and some more team building exercises might be the only way to get these guys some more wins - perhaps some trust exercises or a boozy weekend away up in Cairns? Get the disc away from Finny's hands and put that lanky freak in the endzone already. Put trust in God's Hand-lers.
Disc Jockeys - Matty Hamilton
Not jockeying with much down at the bottom, perhaps only the Tie Dyes. This team are keeping their heads held as high as possible after discovering early on that Matty H's 5-foot nothing was the team's tall timber! What a shock. Promises of some support in the way of pick-ups has been thrown out the window by the leadership and the pick-ups showing up and they're gonna have to hang tough and pull through it without. Mixing things up on defense and offense and doing some experimenting might be a lot of fun. Might not help. But fun and new could be winners! They did manage their first win the other week against the Ginger Kids. Well done to them, they can keep their pants on!
Tomorrow will follow the top four teams spiel-ly goodness...
