Myself and Smithy thought it would be good to peg a game to get some of the old timers (season 1 etc) back out of retirement.  There must be plenty of people on here who have links in to some of the season 1 regulars - Thompson, Coxey, Buckle, Santi etc (there must be loads more, my memory is terrible).

Anyway, advance notice so start looking back in your cupboards for your season 1 gear, come to the BB for a few Daniel Burgers, and fire up the D.I.S.C.O.

I think most of the zone got sick as dogs after the Perth game, I got a chest infection that stayed with me for a few weeks.
