Fantastic to hear from you Pedro,
The mighty fighting nannas are now sitting on three straight wins and an initial loss.
Last night was our Galipoli, the ANZAC bretheren went from a group of boys to a TEAM of MEN in an awe inspiring display of courage in the face of trecherous adversity.
We were winning 4 - 1 with seven mins to go when rhian (playing the role of the uncaring british who sipped tea while the diggers were mercilessly slaugtered charging out of the trenches at lone pine) was red carded for a slide tackle, leaving the nannas facing a penalty one man down. The score ended at 4 - 3, the nannas finest hour, they stared death in the face and walked away victorious. It must be said that rhian was pivotal in getting us to 4 -1 before leaving the likes of Tao ( have you seen the photo of the first win he looks like hes about to die from being red in the face) to run for two men.
I have attached the the goal tally with the weekly breakdown, Misty currently holds the title 'striker', with his four goal haul last week, but others are challenging for the crown.
The team basiclly runs a follows.
Rhian Hinkley - Captain, a cool presence on the field handy in front of goals but hasn't been able to find the back of the net in recent weeks
Chris Brown - aka 'striker' head goal scorer, fittest man on the field, fast dancing feet, backs himself into goal.
Chris Gill - Goalie, awesome in the net, a bug part of the nannas success, when he's hyped hes unpassable and we have scored goals from his quick disposals out of defence
Guy fraser - aka 'Tin Man' not entirely 100% co-ord but plays position to perfection and moves where the coach tells him to. has improved out of sight since first game, although currently sidelined due to illness
Dan Crooks- One of the big men, solid in defence with a big kick in front of goal. Flourishing telepathic capabilities with hugh harvey
Hugh Covil- another big man who looks mean (band aid over eyebrow ring) #2 in goal tally and unphasable in defense
Hugh Harvey - fast moving, across the court, looks unassuming untill he pounces, has scored some of the best goals using his telepathic bonding with cocky
Andy Wong- Running hustling, running hustling thats Andy won't let anyone past quick to get back and D or move into attack
Tao Weis - Unfittest on team, wont run on without a couple of spliffs under belt and is a real terrier up front, keeps on at the goals relentlessly, has only played half of season due to commitments to 21 yo ladies.
Tom Howie - The Coach, I have a clipboard, I bring the oranges, i chew chewy, next week I will wear a suit. I yell a lot from the sidelines and call the subs, i try to keep fresh legs on the field and keep the team focussed (theres a lot of talk of computers and software if im not tough). I think just having a coach who kind of looks like he knows what he's doing puts the opposition off a bit.
I will put you on the Nannas mailing list so you can get the updates each week as they happen.
On a personal note you be well, think of you often over there in nodnol burning up the place. Keep on trucking theres always going to be the joy and excitement of travelling tinged by the melancholy of far away friends, but thats when you know you're alive.
Love and Hugs from remote
Thomas

Well done team
that was our gallipoli out there tonight
the anazac bretheren fighting on despite the odds to forge a victory in
the face of adversity.
that's right, we really came of age, no longer a group of boys, but a
TEAM of MEN
a special commendation to Rhian for playing the role of the British. Its
not easy to betray your team even if it is for their own good.
but lets not loose site of the fact that the match was already won, and
due in no small part to our captain's daring and courage.
you all made me proud out there - congratulations!
Nanna Nanna Nanna Oi Oi Oi
Please let it be known if 6 oclock is too early for you next week
The Coach
P>S> Attached is the goal tally, and PLEASE BE ADVISED Misty hasn't got
a Mortgage on the nickname 'Striker' yet so I want everyone to a good
long hard look at how they can take that title off him.

And then came the greatest test of all, THE TEST BY FIRE
Thats right nannas, the injury list is long and star studded:
Chris Gill, Wrist - OUT
Chris Brown, Rib - CHANCEY
So it's time for the other nannas to stand up and be counted, lest we
lie down and be mounted.
The Coach will, in all likelyhood, be in goals, that means that every
time you let them get a shot on goal, they'll probably score. The best
way I can see of countering this (short of taking butterfly knives onto
the field) is to NOT LET THEM GET A SHOT ON GOAL. I can't really be more
explicitly clear, or reiterate this point with enough emphasis. Less
shots on goal = less goals. I hope you've all got it.
Fortunately i have absolute, 100%, unwaiverable, total, entire and utter
confidence in the ability of all you fine Nannas to (a) defend your
coach and (b) rise to this latest challenge like the glorious bunch of
fighters you have all proven to be, in a magnificent performce that the
scribes will write about for many a year to come.
Untill battle time [7:45pm (19:45)] on Thursday my comrades

despite what has been variously described and reported in reputible
circles as an "electrifying","superhuman" and "a superlative display" by
the coach in goals, the nannas went down for the second week in a row
why? the fans lament, after such a barnstorming start. how could a team
so charged with potential, so loaded with talent, lose two games. I'd
like to paraphrase Napoleon Bonaparte... sure you can be the worlds most
smokingest general in the whole wide world, but you can't do jack
without a bit of luck.
we manufactured ourselves some luck in those early games, we ran on
dancing, our little heads a bubbling, plucky little fuckers we were,
with nothing to lose. Then in the space of a week we got old and jaded,
rings around our eyes, it became a chore to run out not a joy, we played
a team from another dimension, hinkley went kurgen, cracklehappy started
slotting goals in at the wrong end, the harsh reality of life in
d-division came crashing down on misty's ribs like a ton of bricks.
wake up Nannas, it's time to rise from the ashes like a phoenix from the
flames, get back into the land of luck, riding the winners bus.
attached is the tally in the ultimate challenge: " the quest to be
striker" aka "the mightiest fighting nanna in the mighty fighting
nannas". Misty is still striker, but did not score for the first time
since round 1, a 'triple slot' to daniel has put him right into
contention, and with Misty's rib still troubling him those interested in
being know as 'striker' during the off season should put on their goal
scoring shoes and start putting some balls in the back of the net. In an
interesting decision the judges have awarded Guy Fraser " the tin man" a
near score(ns), i guess it's some sort of charity handout in recognition
of his trying real hard and how its a bit embarrassing having him on the
same total as the goalie.
homework: think lucky, act lucky, be lucky, do lucky.

Looks like a week off in the room of mirrors had the right effect for the somewhat slumping Mitey Fitey Nanna's.
A Top Notch Team Effort to win 4 - 1 with some glorious champagne one touch football
Special mention in dispatches was afforded to the man with the magic hands and the legs of invincibility - Chris Gill - with a personal best, letting but a lone goal past. Kudos to you Chris, may your body continue to be between the incoming shot on goals and the goals proper with increasing regularity.
But the a spot on top of the Ladder comes responsibility, Nanna's must lead from the front and stay strong, as others now see us as the team to beat. We must be like the french in M-Pythons Holy Grail, full of contempt for those below us as we stare down from our parapet - ready to hurl both rapier like retorts and physical responses to those who would remove us from our rightful throne. We must also be like the Hunters in Star Trek Voyager, ready to learn from our prey and never ever ever ever underestimating them.
As for the finals? Well the call is out for every single last Nanna to run out sporting a fat bushy testosterone packed Moustache. So I want everyone to work out how long their own upper lip takes to aquire a suitable thatch, and make sure they have one ready for the semi's on 9th of Nov.
What of The Ultimate prize - The Quest to be Striker ? It continues to heat up, Misty Striker still on top but Dan moves to equal 2nd with Hugh (See attachment for details). Hinkley the Kurgen had a quickening and added two to his tally after some fire-in-the-belly words from the coach in the car on the way to the game. As you may remember Hinkley opened the Nannas goal account in the initial seconds of the first game, but his striking shoes had struck nothing but barren balls until last night when, like the consumate sportsman he is, he silenced the naysayers and played his way out of his goal scoring slump. Well done rhian good to have you back amongst the strikers striking in The Quest to be Striker.
The selectors and match commitee has also taken special note of G. Fraser's ( the tin man ) continuing and marked improvement in defense as some sort of immovable rock solid obstacle that can only be overcome (in the rarest of circumstances) with the uttermost and extreme levels of skill, desire and determination.
Ok - Homework: visualise scoring goals and doing good tackles, think one touch footy, listen to Queen's "we are the champions" and really really believe it because Top o' the Ladder Nanna's can go all the way. Be good to get everyone down at training because the championship is now ours to lose.
The academic board, administration, statistical and computational division, coaching staff, psycho-motivational committee, Executive board and sports science section of the Nannas wishes Extra Special Travel Joy to Andy Wong who is undertaking some research on the European style of play on the Continent over the next four weeks. Remember you represent the Nannas everywhere you go so do it with pride - you will always be a Nanna.

Shit Shit Shit
Jesus
C'mon Nannas
What is it with us ? Mighty Fighting Nanna's First Half. Crochet
Knitting, 'luded up Nanna's second half.
Well the coach is worried, the coach doesn't know what to do, the coach
is clean out of answers, the coach is thinking you boy's are going to be
doing a lot of push ups on your fingertips while the coach squats on
your head and screams in your ear for you to get it the hell together
and try to comprehend this basic fact - INDOOR SOCCER LASTS 36 MINUTES:
not 18, try and play the freaking match out.
OK, picture coach's head right now its chock full of bulging veins about
to burst and its purpler than Tao's head in those winning photos cos
he's so so angry, then he gets a phone call the gist of which is: Misty
Striker out for 6 weeks with a busted arm.
God Help us all
The coach stops, the coach realises how those airmen felt in the battle
of Britain, nothing but darkness everywhere, nothing but the
overwhelming and unrelenting pressure applied by an enemy who is up
against a battered weakened enemy smarting from some cruel cruel blows.
But the coach has faith, the coach believes, the coach has seen the
heart of the Nannas and he knows it's a heart that can rise from the
flames, that can overcome wave after unyeilding wave of Heinkels and
Focke Wolfes even though the radar stations have been knocked out and
the airfields are destroyed daily. The coach can see light at the end of
the tunnel and it's a light bathing the Nannas in glory.
QUEST TO BE STRIKER NOW WIDE OPEN. TIME TO STEP UP NANNAS
Homework: Each morning as soon as you wake up sing this little song:
36 minutes
36 minutes
that's exactly how long
for which im gonna give it
give it my all
for 36 minutes
'cos nannas aren't chokers
and nannas never quit it
Nannas never stop
until the buzzer bib bips
and the buzzer don't bib bip
until 36 minutes

Who would have thought that just one short week of singing that catchy little ditty, '36 minutes' would make such a big difference to the Mighty Fighting Nannas
Coach was so proud to see 36 mins played out by every brown nanna
3-3 a draw snatched from the maw of defeat after a disastrous opening minute the nannas stood up grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and made it their own. It wasn't the physical game the nannas won, it was the mental one. We stood right up to fancy pants Parma, looked 'em in the eye, shook our head and said 'no, I don't think so, not tonight, you will not beat the Nannas' and they believed us and most important of all we believed us.
Goal of the season so far to Hugh Covil, untill someone can come up with a specialer goal than that he will be known as The Man With The Stupefying Boot (Stupa Boot) and long may it continue to stupefy.
Other highligts: Guy 'the lumberjack' Fraser repeatedly felling the opposition's tall timber as it came anywhere near the Nanna's goal, with his trademark crippling axe tackles: One armed coaching by Striker: Cracklehappy's long range goal off a corner: Hugh Harvey's pinpoint passes into attack 'Ribena' Weis's head (as always) at the end of the match [photos on the way]:Special mention of Hopalong Hinkley playing a captains game despite being an ankle down.
Quest to be striker news: Hugh and Cocky tied for silver, and with Misty out for another three weeks anything could happen. See the attachment for the minutest of details
Homework: You'd better keep singing '36 minutes' of a morning, we don't want the coach to have to shithouse crazy apeshit on your arses again. Watch the Aussie women go for gold in the hockey tonight and see what you can pick up about position play, running off the ball, passing, and working it in confined spaces.

The Nannas, giving it for the 36 minutes just like the coach asked, only
the coach now starts to see that it takes a bit of time for the nannas
to start up, quick goals going in agin them early and that's not good.
But to the nannas credit they never lay down, they never quit, they
never left their wingman, they never choked, they stepped up, they took
the game by the scruff of the neck, they showed balls and as a result
dominated they second half
Well the most depleted Nannas side yet had to back up against their arch
rivals Parma Jarma for the second week in a row, and they went down
making the record a win a piece and one draw. This could make it
interesting come finals time.
The equations seems to be - win everything to be ensured of a spot in
the finals
Quest to be striker: Tao the big mover this week with a pair. He's now
firmly in 4th.
Homework: Make up your own words to that catchy ditty, 36 minutes, but
include something along the lines of giving it from the minute you step
onto the court.

Dan will continue to be known as 'Striker' until such time as another
Nanna surpasses his tally for goals kicked in matches played.
Hugh will continue to be known as 'Stupaboot' until such time as another
Nanna can produce a more miraculously stupefying goal.
Tao will continue to be known as 'The Hand of God' until such time as
another Nanna goes a little shithouse crazy in front of goal and

I don't know how many of you Nannas remember the Australian Cricket
Team's World Cup Campaign of '99. They started off kinda slow and were
written off. But they came home charging and peaked at the right end of
the tournament. They were crowned champs and the glory was theirs.
This my Brown friends is what the Nannas must do, we too can ease our
battle weary bodies salubriously into the jacuzzi of glory, the grin of
victory etched large upon our faces and bathe in the kudos of
D-division's ultimate prize. We've had our ups and downs and know it
seems certain we will make the finals and it doesn't matter how you
make the finals it's that you win those last two games.
Now the Mighty Brown Nannas are on the hell man charge, we've won our
last two and we gotta keep charging, with blood curdling screams rising
from our throats like a rampaging herd of unstoppable stampeding Super
Juiced Up Nannas, asking no quarter and expecting none, a column of dust
rising up behind us masking the destruction of the teams we leave broken
and crumpled, in our wake, only one thought on our minds, purposed to a
lone goal, the absolute victory- a win on november 16.
After last nights routing 15 - 3 well may we hold our heads high. Except
that there's a few too many goal hungry nannas and not enough defense
hungry nannas and that makes the coach ropably angry. Please try and
ensure that there is always one nanna goalside of the forwardmost member
of the opposition or the Coach will turn a real ugly shade of nasty on
your arses.
ALL THE STATS FOR 'THE QUEST TO BE STRIKER' NOW IN COLOUR.
Yep, that's right, now whenever you check to see who's shooting and
who's booting, in the challenge for the highest accolade, 'The Quest to
be Striker', it's presented in 5 glorious shades of Nanna Brown.
This week in the goal fest that was the routing of Conroys Select 7 [I
believe the name comes from selecting seven pies from the pie-warmer
before lunchtime] there was all sorts of movement in The Quest to be
Striker. Dan 'Striker' Cockmost has consolodated his lead, Misty and
Hugh are ready to pounce, 'Oh Captain My Kurgen Haggis Hinkley' has
moved himself right up there and anything could happen with a potential
three matches to go. Perhaps most heartbreakingly shatteringly, Tough
Guy in D 'the lumberjack' actually converted and threatened to enter the
running in the ultimate prize 'The Quest to be Striker', only to have
his goal disallowed in dubious circumstances. Our thoughts are with you
Clinch, in this your darkest hour.
Homework: Wake up every morning and scream CHARGE! at the top of your
voice until the cops come over, punch the walls a couple of times real
hard and have a cold shower. Because nothing phases a Nanna.
Im a nanna and Im proud
Im a nanna and Im loud
Im a nanna and I kill
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
Kill them all
and win the flag
Nannas are killers
and we got it in the bag.

The Coach can say it now but he alway's knew The Might of the Brown Nannas would be to much for Alfa. We were bigger than them out there. We had the Mind Game won before the clock started ticking down. But most of all we won for the same reason we will beat Parma Jarma next week:
A Champion Team will always beat a team of champions.
And there's no two ways about it, the Mighty Brown Nannas are a Champion team, whereas PJ are a rag tag bunch of loner heroes(in the sarcastic sense) who will wilt, crumble, fade, buckle, choke and ultimately self destruct under the unrelenting pressure of the cold, hard, clinical, fun loving, CHAMPION Nannas.
Only one column left to fill in on the table for the highest of Nanna Honors: The Quest To Be Striker. Only one game left to score to bathe in the glory of the crown of the greatest thing a Nanna can be. You all want it, any of you can have it, so next Thurs go out make the title your own and become STRIKER. Check the attachment for details.
Special thoughts go out to Nanna Wong who could not celebrate at the Cheif last night because he had to return to work. I don't know what sort of a fucked up world we live in where a Nanna can't celebrate with Nannas on the greatest day in Nanna history but you were with us Andy, we drank for you and we let not your name be forgotten amongst the jovialities.
Homework: Think about what it means to be a Nanna. Think about your fellow Nannas and what it means to them to be a Nanna. Think about the team of Nannas that you and your fellow Nannas make up. Think about the power that resides in that team of Nannas. Think about how freakingly unstoppably awesome that power within a team of Nannas is.
