To realistically start a C grade, you need...

To realistically start a C grade, you need...

1) About 10 fat blokes who are too slow to play in the higher grades;

2) An 18 year old kid who lacks interpersonal skills and so will be happy to get the big blokes their drinks on Saturday night because he thinks they are there mates;

3) A coach with infinite patience, who doesn't mind that C grade footballers think that tactics are breath fresheners.

4) Five or six wirey blokes with minimal skills but who run like the wind;

5) One or two infinitely skilled sandbaggers, who like to play in a lower grade because "I just wanna play with my mates".

6) 20 sundry phone numbers so you can fill the rest of the team throughout the rest of the season.

Good luck.

Dont forget a trainer to hold there old blokes together with tape rub downs and a wing and a prayer

you also need that bloke built like a brick shit house to sit at full forward and go on some big leads but never actually kick any goals!

A group of mates (about 10-12) who all want to play and commit to each other and all have further mates who can come in and play. Also helps to have a few older heads who can help out and a couple of raw players (i.e. 18 year olds) who will take a while to develop before moving up the grades. Also need support staff - coach, runner, team manager, trainer, waterboys/girls.

you need support staff that are multi-skilled- ie a Goal Umpire/Assistant Coach, their children to run water & boundary & the missus to be Team Manager & chase up afore-mentioned positions!

One heavily tattooed individual with teeth you can count on one hand to play across half back to intimidate the opposition.

Had lunch with one of my former coaches on Saturday

He said a trainer to bring a bottle of port/green ginger wine to the game on cold days
