Halibut Preview Step 2 - There's So Much We Can Do!

Well, here we are on the second round of Halibut previews, and this time, lets take a look at two teams that are so in need of confirming to everyone they are a 'team', as opposed to say an overhead projector or a block of flats, that they include the word TEAM in their very names - TEAM CANADA and TEAM HILL SPRINTS!

Team Canada

From: Canada … well so they say. We’ll be checking passports and French-speaking
Captain: Bob ‘and Doug McKenzie’ Trachter
Uniform: Maple leaf red on a white snowy background

This is Team Canada’s second foray into the South East Queensland Ultimate scene, following their 3rd place at the 2009 Brisbane Indoor Ultimate Championships. No doubt there will be questions about rostering, but apparently Jangles is in training to call his couch a chesterfield. Secret plays are reported to be nicknamed ‘Eh?’, “Aboot” and “Terrance and Phillip”. Remember, If they come at you with a hockey stick, distract them by asking if they live in an igloo, eat blubber or own a dogsled. Please remember JdR has fathered a half-Canadian, so was disappointed not to be recruited.

JdR’s tip: 6th
Julz’s tip: 3rd
Seeding: 3rd

Team Hill Sprints

From: Greater Western Sydney (as opposed to Lesser Western Sydney) plus a bit of Perth
Captain: Simon ‘Woodie’ Wood
Uniform: Black and white

This looks like a talented team with an even lower AFDA number than Buzz’s 66, which is sorta disturbing. They claim to be awesome at partying but we shall see – of course, like good Westies they’ll be there early for the free drinks. The first up bye is apparently to allow for anyone who’s missed their flights to get there.

JdR’s tip: 5th
Julz’s tip: 2nd
Seeding: 2nd
And lets check how Paul the Octopus is feeling when we put the two TEAM logos into his tank ....

Yep, Paul confirms its time to 'say no to beaver'.

your claim is as strong as mine JdR. having a sister slumming it in the whistler ski fields means that i count.
