So the MBB: Crusty Buggers had their first run around last Thursday. This team consists of some well established Brisbane players and some brand new talent.
Here at the Buggers I think we have a well refined system for taking new players and acculturating them into the tactics, and acclimatising them to the speed that works at the BPL level.
Last thursday night was a great example of this. We played a game against the Rawhide team with 3 buggers from last years team, and 4 brand new buggers (including 3 guys playing their first game of BPL). We played savage all game and won the by 11 points. I was really proud of the effort and hard running of the new blokes and of the patience and leadership of the old blokes.
It's hard not to feel good when things are going that well for you, and i'm sure all the players had a great time. I think part of the result can be attributed to a good simple system, part to effort and application, and part to luck. It all happened to be on our side in round 1.
I'm really looking forward to getting the other 5 Crusty Buggers onto the track so we can build a strong new team and continue our positive start.
Yeah Buggers!
