Grand Final Losers>>

So the 7 Shades lost… By a point or two… And we don’t want to talk about it…. The good thing was we found Lucky Beer and Smokey had another adventure.

New Season has Started >>

We welcomed back Sidey, Sethmore & Reddog this week and both the Imported Beers and the Local Beers started off the new season with a win. Sure, the Imports had a forfeit and the Locals played the worst team in the comp, but a wins a win right? Smokey even got another 3 pointer! As did Sideshow, Pain, House, Sobby and Plow - it was a clean sweep of miraculous shooting for a 30+ point win.

Next week the Locals will have 4 players in Thailand, and the Imports have a bye, so we might need some of you out-of-towners to cover for us this once. BDF is going to make sure we have enough there, so look out for his email. The game’s at 6.00pm against the Cyclones.

Beer of Origin >>

Thursday August 14 will be the first Beer of Origin game, so make sure you have it free. We’ve got the prime 7:40 timeslot on showcourt one, and will go for drinks somewhere afterward.

Early betting markets have the Imported Beers as -6.5 point favorites, paying 1.50 for the win. Dirty Cooper is getting some early backers for another MVP award, probably because nobody wants to have to ask him to give it back…

Tally’s Up >>

Under Herman’s orders, the cartons owed tally is now online at http://www.thebeers.com.au/tally/. It’s up to 16 after the early conservative count was upped by some Beers owning up to owing more. If you’ve had a tech foul or air-balled free throw this year and it’s not on the tally, own up and get it added. House kept it ticking over last night with a nice f-bomb tech.

Herman said he’ll organise a Barbie soon at his place so we can all pay up.
