3 New Team Managers- Posh, Becks and Dave C

In typical Relics style , the team elected 3 new managers at their Sunday run, by their trusty system of "if your not here, then your it" !! Almost everybody turned up for the Sunday training (including our esteemed coach Wiz), except one body, the triple talented multiple personality Posh/ Becks/ Dave C.



As we didn't quite know which of them would be the best manager, we unanimously elected all 3 to be Relics Manager for 2012 !!


Here they are:






1) Posh- Simpering ineffectual footballer but popular at post game showers,

2) Becks the Gruff, would be Footballer, always threatening but not quite delivering (on and off field)

3) Dave C, Consummate wordsmith and allround good guy. )

* Posh/ Becks/ Dave - Please phone Flemo for a list of your new duties, player details, esky list, ground and first aid requirements, paperwork, meetings to attend, equipment specifications, training schedules, shirt size and payment details etc etc

May I Plaaayy !

Then don't forget to rego early. Rego details are on Club website but essentially are first two Saturdays in Feb, February 4 & 11 from 10.00am to 1.00pm at Davistown RSL Club.

Also Sunday February 5, from 2pm to 5pm at Kincumber Hotel. I understand on line rego will also be open shortly. A new FFA rego system will be in use so I have no idea of what's needed but suggest photo ID as a minimum. I will find out.

Relics are at home in a Corporate Box !

A huge thanks go to Phil (Wild Thing), who was unable to attend a corporate enclosure at Sydney v Mariners at SFS last Sunday. Phil had won it, but was going to be away, so in a marvellous spirit of bonhomie, he offered it to Rosanna and I to use to reward those who helped with our recent working bee.

Needless to say, it was keenly accepted. The 12 who could make it were Alice Allan, Crowy and son, Recko, Howler, Blackbeard, Toe and (soon to be) Mrs Kathy Toe, Banker, Muzz Netheim, Mickledildo and Hat.

We travelled by train and in true Relics style had a few cold ones during the walk from Central to the SFS. We did the Relics proud, being first into the corporate area, first to open the eski (against policy but nobody told us about RSA!) and last to leave the ground. There was even enough good red wine for Alice, Wheats and me to be content. The lady? security Nazi told us to be quiet when we were the only ones left in the stadium except for the unused players who were exercising. We were no where near as noisy as the Cove earlier, and the Mariners subs appreciated our encouragement. The food and drink were great, and lots of it. In the spirit of carmeraderie for which the Relics are widely known, we even all showered together on the way home !!

Phil so sorry you missed it, here's a couple of shots of a wonderful spread.

Nice to see you and the family got flowers for Rosanna in Roos, I mean Relics colours.

Hope the food is okay and the vampires aren't too vicious Rosanna.

Vale Statue !

What a sad post to make. The Relics are shattered at the news that one of our own, Steven "Statue" Dunlop has passed away in Indonesia whilst on holidays. Contrary to earlier reports, I now understand that his wife Glenda is on the spot. Our deepest sympathy goes to Glenda, their son Angus and their extended family. Statue has been with the Kincumber club for 13 years and has been an integral part of the Relics. His contributions to our blogs have been numerous. He's always volunteered to help at parties and only last weekend, at Micks 50th, shared with us a stack of photos from last year's end of season trip. Above is a smattering of shots, showing him earning his nick name but also helping us all enjoy life. Steve had a wonderful right foot kick, a delicious temper on the few occasions he fired up at the opposition, and we all knew he had our back on the field.

Vale Steven, we shall miss you greatly. Hat.
