AJAX v Old Paradians - Away
It’s well known that our forefathers loved anything that fit in a bank account, a deposit box or a bank vault for that matter
But they also had great foresight when deciding that Chabbad of Bundoora should be built on Plenty Road in the heart of The Land Of Plenty
Without the likes of Moshe Rosenbaum and Josh Lindel in the team to guarantee perfect conditions this week, the days story was one of wind, the kind of wind that makes storm chasers salivate. (Note - you can’t understate the value of tefillah)
After last weeks goal shopping spree on the Chadstone charge account and a subsequent plundering of big man stocks by the powers that be, not to mention the reserves abduction of Mr Vogel, there was a real concern that the only thing we’d win this week was the Chabbad limbo competition
The reservists of the reservist were called up (bit like Ethan Gabriel and the Israeli Army) - Liam Elbaum, Jayme Dzenciol, Coby Felbel, and even though this was their first hit out for season 2023, it was as if they’d played every game to date. Well done to all three today
The first quarter, well, we were asleep, too much Kedem in the drinking water. We were fortunate that Old Paradians kicked 1-7 to our sensational 3 goals in to the wind including a Jordan Friede special from the boundary line. Special mention to La Sala for honouring the Team Theme
Second quarter saw the midfielders and forwards combine to take the game away from the opposition with some passages of play that resembled the sort of stuff you watch on TV
Football clubs are interesting place to live especially when one of our most loved sons pulls out a memorable moment …
Felix Shulman, and it’s a shame there’s no video footage, took Centre stage at the 3 quarter time hurdle with his own Dreamtime @ the C. aka the “goal fest”. The dance, along with beautiful melodic singing from Felix himself, named players to kick a goal in the last quarter. “Feldy Goal. Peker Goal. Schwartz Goal” be changed like a man possessed. In remarkable scenes, conjuring and channeling the winds of elders past, all those named kicked goals! He is the clubs new snake charmer!
From me, the most pleasing thing today was the hard work in and under of Kahlberg, Gelfand and Peker. You can’t by grunt and drive, and today the lads served it up big time
Well done to our captain of the day, Joshy B as well
8 sleeps and we do it all again
Goals: Peker 3, Schwarz 3, Dzienciol 3, Rosenwax 2, Miller, Efron, Marabel-Whitburn, Feldman, Friede
Bests: Rosenwax, Marabel-Whitburn, Schwarz, Peker, Kahlberg, Gelfand
