ARNFL Fixture 2013

Cronulla faces losing up to 14 players for the next season.  It seems unlikely that they could field a credible side in the NRL for 2013.  Can Essendon be far behind?

So what do highly trained sportsmen do with all this time on their hands?  There is no need for them to be limited to Rugby League and Australian Rules.  With the formation of the Australian Really Normal Fun League (ARNFL) they can show their undoubted prowess at all those sports and games we really love – but see too little of these days.

I have suggested a draft fixture, but I am sure Almanackers have cupboards full of games that the boys could showcase.  And what about those obscure sports that we only see at Olympics time or as pay-TV late night filler?

Please help by nominating weekly challenges for our Bomber and Shark heroes.  Let them know they won’t be forgotten.  Early indications are that we may have more than one season’s fixture to fill.

  1. Hey Pete

    Would peptides performance enhance a game of canasta?

    Love the idea that Essendon would play a season of lesser games as a penalty. And I’d like to take it down a step further. How about playing make believe afternoon tea with Sid’s sister from Toy Story. “More tea Mrs Nesbitt?” Shit that would be fitting to see those Essendon A-holes suffer the same indignation as Buzz did in that scene.

  2. LOL :)

    But the draw might have to be changed in a few weeks when other clubs step into the peptide spotlight. Got any suggestions should Manly have to line up with Cronulla and Essendon?
