MAXED OUT SUNNIES
What a return to cricket for an old bloke in Andrew McLaren.  In his first hit out in nearly 20 years, he pulls a quad muscle when he takes off for his first run, gets hit around the park when he bowls due to his incapacitation and then a dog eats his sunglasses!  Apparently the mail is very chewy around his area and when Appsy delivered the forgotten glasses to his mailbox, a dog decided it was lunchtime.  Welcome back Maxie!!

WWE HOUSE WARMING
The Richmond twins joined at the hip are looking for a new coffee table after a certain WWE wannabee decided to jump from the top rope.  Gerry and Jimmy are now looking for a lovely marble unit to hold their collection of coffee table books...or would that be beer stubbies and girlie magazines??

THE LADIES AUXILIARY
In a new initiative from the club, the Ladies Auxiliary is up and running and looking to make some tidy profits from the Op Shop operations.  As per the below photo of the Auxiliary Committee, they are looking pretty good for their ages....some spritely retirees there!!  Pity about their dress sense though.

GERARD BRAMSTEDT DRAFTED!
James Triolo was lucky enough to be Gerard's date to the Carlton Football Club B&F this week.  Gerard was able to take a guest in his role as a Carlton player.  Gerard wears no.12 for Carlton, but due to some problem with either his birth certificate or his criminal record, Gerard plays under the name of Mitch Robinson.  Keep it quiet.  Andy Demetriou hasn't cottoned on yet.

GET YOUR HAND OFF IT!
It's an unfortunate situation.  A man in the prime of his life.  Marriage.  Beautiful baby boy.  But is he getting enough loving?  "I had my hand on it all day!"  Them's not the words of a content man!!  Apparently it has to do with his new job title as an 'owner operator'.

THE MARQUEE PLAYER
Can a cricket club have more than one Marquee Player?  And could that Marquee Player play in any other grade than the first eleven?  Apparently so.  A new Marquee Player has been announced and he doesn't play in the Firsts.  Do we really need to announce this player's name?  I think not!!

LIBBY'S DAD
Some of us just get old before their time.  The first eleven scorer had to make a delivery to the Fincher home of East Box Hill.  The young ladies in residence announced the visitor as "Libby's Dad".  Ouch!

THE KECKAS QUANDRY
The senior vice captain was in a state of confusion this week and it had nothing to do with his chronic allergies playing up.  Nor had it anything to do with chasing down outstanding goblet cash.  He attended training on Tuesday.  That's where the confusion started.  With six of his teammates, the Keckas Quandry was "we still train on a Tuesday don't we?"  Needless to say, the lack of training numbers was evident on Tuesday night and will be addressed at a later date.

RETIRED
Jimmy Wilson may still be playing cricket but there is some discussion about whether he has retired from the workforce.  How else can you explain his new digs at "Dellbocca Vista"....a retirement gated village where his neighbours are Morty & Helen Seinfeld and Frank & Estelle Costanza.  Could he be making plans already for the later years of his life?
