Also good to see teams blowing the cobwebs out in readiness for the season coming. 'Vi$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ta's kick off their 2009/10 campaign this week with the first training session of the pre-season. Late start due to having to delay our post-season trip (it sometimes sucks making the GF..
) and post-season op's for those who carried niggles during the year.. 
It'll be interesting to see the line-ups, and whether verbally proposed changes materialize themselves into reality.. But the big-ticket item in the pre-season is who The Phantom will choose as his new home, what grade he'll appear in, and, if indeed he even plays at all..
My sources tell me that several "off-field incidents" may have impacted upon interest from his potential suitors, and are questioning whether they will be able to keep a handle on his alcohol-induced antics, let alone keep him clothed around their wives and girlfriends. There is an element amongst my sources that believe Phant' will rise above the adversities and throw his hat into the ring for an A Grade spot in the side bearing the postcode 5108, where they might be able to finally make a man of him... Watch this space.
