Buggers continue on their winning way

Week 2 and the Buggers continue on their winning way. This week we
took on newly formed team UQ Passion containing a core of experienced
players with some newer players playing in their first BPL. We had 10
players available this week, due to injuries and absences. It was good
to see everyone showing up early and ready for some enthusiastic
pre-game drills. Subsequently we came out with a bang, scoring the
first few points through tough D and quick scoring on the turnovers.
It was our defensive pressure that had them in trouble. They had to
have their best players on as handlers and as such needed to take
unnecessary risks to move the disk up the field. We started off with a
man D, but mixed it up with some zone, which seemed to work fairly
effectively. We were up 8 -3 at half time and we were in danger of
taking this team too lightly. I cant remember if something was said,
or if it was just the pre-game pep talk, but we kept up the intensity
right to the end of the game.

The pink-wearing Passion came out stronger in the second half but
we re-gained control to finish the game 15 - 6 .Still things to
work on (according to our tireless leader at least). The stack in
offecnce often more closely resembled a blob which dispersed at
random in an attempt to get the disk. Something to work on.

This win puts us on top of the table, with us taking on the old
rivals - UQ lovers - in a top of the table block buster.

First game - Buggers vs DoJo

So the Buggers are off to a good start. We played a good hard game which was close all the way through. The Buggers showed some good heart during the middle section of the game to get their noses infront. Here is the account by this weeks team reporter, Alex Chaddwick.

A mixed bag of emotions surrounded the BUGGERS on Thursday night. We had Mike jumping out of his skin to play, myself pumped to regain our title that we truly deserve and a lot of level heads to take on the DOJO mob. DOJO came out firing with a real desire to nock us off. Having realized that we were up for a challenge we tightened the reigns and brought it back to even.

Having seen our desire DOJO relished this challenge and stood up to the task. After taking the half we were in cruise mode until DOJO fought back to be 10-11 down with 5 to go (according to the time clock, but not J-ray). Having battled this hard, BUGGERS were not willing to let this mob overthrow our immortal power. BUGGERS deserving victors 14-11. Mike, relieved man and boys exhausted.

Keep it real. Alex

Busting

I don't know if it is just me, or if the rest of you guys are feeling similar, but I am busting for this league to start.

I've been in the kind of mood where i go to afda.com about once a day to see if the rosters have changed. I'm writing down positional options for the team in rest breaks in lectures, I'm even reading discussion forums on aus.sport.frisbee or something.

This league needs to start so i can settle down a bit. I'm really looking forward to playing with my new and improved O team and I'm very excited about seeing the D players connect and really build some pressure on the other teams.

There are 2 new challenger teams and 2 old rival teams for us to test ourselves against. It should be great.
