Thanks Jo and David*.
(and Tannin).
*I went to see some-one I thought might be interested in helping me out of my current jam...
I told her my problem and after a few questions and few phone calls she agreed to help me (largely) pro-bono.
The story in the paper was the gravy.

That's fantastic. Good luck with the whole experience!
It should be very rewarding to teach the young kids the basics and philosophy of footy.

Thanks, I agree it should be very rewarding to take so me of these kids and teach them the basics and then hopefully as we go on I can take them through the grades and help them into the future as well.

Great stuff Proto. Good to read about your continuing progress. You should blog your local, might give others kids in the area the realisation that you can get out, and not be a victim of your surrounds. (This is my point of view from what your written in the past about the area you live in).
So Jezza, UNi over for the year, what's summer mean to you this year?
Don't you just love the happy thread?

Thanks, I will do that it would be good for some who are from homes with some bad parents to see they don't have to follow that road. My uncle coached the team out this way, they slashed his tires when he helped an opposition kid who was injured.
Best thing will be I will be coaching in the Central Derwent part of the league, so I will be coaching closer to home. But later on it could change. I spent a little time where I am as a kid, and I think a lot seem to think they cannot get better in life.
Well with all that's happened to me, I've managed to make things work for me and not let it all get me down. I've been losing more weight as well, with thanks to Laura, I am just hoping that we're going to work out, she loves me I love her, but we're not together just yet.

Good luck!!
It's a very rewarding experience.
Just by attending training twice a week and helping, plus helping on game day - on presentation night I ended up being thrown a t-shirt by the coach, told to jump in the team photo, and ended up officially "Assistant Coach" of the under 9's this year.  Was pretty chuffed actually.
Hoping to get a gig coaching under 10's (or 11's depending on numbers) next year.
(My eldest is 8 going on 15....... :lol : )
Proto - the feeling you get when some of the struggling kids start getting possessions based on some advice you've given them, is absolutely priceless mate!!

Good stuff Dave, might help you with your fitness too, nothing like chasing lil tackers around, it's like herding cats.
For me, tomorrow's Friday and then I have a week off work.
Mum's doing really well 12 months on after the hip replacement but has lost the confidence to get in the car and drive any real distance so the only way to get her down here is to go and bloody get her.
So I'm driving up home on Saturday and do some stuff around the house for her that she can't do. Come back to Melbourne Monday and then take her out and about. I can't just put her in the house and ask her to relax, she'll get bored and start cleaning or rearranging things and I'll have to kill her. So I'll take her out visiting and shopping each day and tire her out, give her a busy week the opposite of her normal routine, then take her home probably Friday.
Then I'll need at least a day completely on my own before I go back to work.

A bit of a break to catch up with friends, to do some work part-time, to get a head start on my subjects for next year and to travel a little over the summer period.
Looking forward to it.

(Ps no harm in giving her a few hours to fix up the place, mothers just love that, just sayin!)

Thanks, yeah that's right I am looking forward to all that just sharing the passion I have with the kids who will want to learn the game and get the passion for the game as well. I wanted to be like my heroes Shane Fell and Peter Daicos back then and would always kick my footy around the yard and even the shopping centre over the road. I'd take it to school, to football games and such. I was very hyperactive as a kid I am not even sure why I was still a fat kid I'd exercise a lot playing footy every chance I got. Seemed the theory was my diabetes that went undiagnosed for years.
but anyway, I want them to have a better junior footy experience than I did, my last coach was a douche had no idea and never went to the meeting so we paid for that. He took me off and abused me once for no reason, his idea made me and other forwards virtually useless. Kids would try and kick all the goals without passing. Idiot.

Thanks, yeah I hope it will as well, it will certainly help me with my social skills and getting out there more and maybe I will make a few more friends as well that way. It will be good to give back to the club I have always loved and played a little for.

I know she loves it but it drives me nuts. I had to teach her to leave stuff the hell alone, she's not tidying things up she's screwing up my system.

Just think of the pleasure it will give her, allocate her one room, mess up the spare room a bit and say 'sigh, I just don't have time to finish this room'. Let go! Control freel

She can do whatever the hell she likes to the room she's sleeping in. Just keep out of the kitchen cupboards and away from the clean washing in the spare room.
