Yes, good call morell, never a pretty sight when an ambo turns up to a footy game. For those interested in his well being Brad snapped both tibia and fibula clean in half. He will require extensive surgery with rods and pins and obvoiously miss the remainder of this season and maybe the next. The people of Fitzroy were amazing in their help and I have nothing but admiration for the whole club. Then to continue the game after the long stoppage and play with great spirit then come in to the club for a beer afterwards showed your true colours. You have done your club proud.
On a lighter note, the argy bargy between old timers Harty and Lecky was classic, Joe played behind the footy for a change and every time he got the footy Harty called out you're clear old man go you legend, Joe kept at him saying I don't need your help, Harty kept saying, oh yes I think you do.
Grass roots footy is alive and VERY well.
Great day at Mitchell Park--had a good chat to Scott after the game and they is on the right path and well led.
Any team that thinks they are going to turn up and win--Beware the players that wear their jumper do it with great pride and a good work ethic.
Great hospitality after the game and made to feel really welcome--And as a club that has been in a similar situation we certainly have enormous respect for the Mitchell Park FC.
Hope the young fella that went off to hospital is recovering well and all the best for the rest of the year.
