An ever expanding team sheet as well as waist line stands the Grizzlies in good stead

 

As one door closes another one opens, so saith some wise old bloke. For the Grizzlies this means that while Machine has refused to consider dusting off the budgie smugglers and Goose is still playing extremely hard to Get, Green Togs makes a welcome return to the fold this pennant. After 18 months or so away she has decided to grace us with her presence and show us the skills she picked up playing in the UK.

Martian and Lynchy have been busy training in the pre-season so we're hoping that at least they may be able to hit the water running (rather than with just a big splash like the rest of us). Ned has been doing some serious working out too or so one of her colleagues alledges but we'll just have to wait and see. Big Nob has apparently discovered the hell that is controlled crying but after three hours of non stop whining and carrying on Caroline let him watch Top Gear. Killa has been flogging his children hard ensuring they meet their daily blueberry quota before they're allowed inside and rumour has it that the child with the greatest tally at the end of the season gets first dibs on their bedroom in the new house. Haven't heard form Da Cheesemeister lately which may have something to do with one of the council's staff members returning to Council after a brief stint with Water Resources. Similarly, Floppsy has been keeping a low profile of late although that may have something to do with another bundle of boundless joy.

Gaffers and Crusty should now be sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labours, all three hundred and sixty seven cases of it although Crusty apparently has the bug and wants to get his feet sticky again this year but with somebody elses grapes this time. Scotty has given up on worrying about where he's going to be working in 18 months time, either the water front or a building site and is making the most of life in Hobart in summer, boats, beaches and beer.

Didn't manage to recruit any new blood this pennant, primarily because we're full and can't fit any more players on the team sheet so barring injury or pregnancies the same old Grizzlies will be rocking up each week to batter who ever drew the short straw for that week.
