Halibut Preview Step 3 - Its Just You and Me

Here we are again, Halibut lovers! Part three of our exclusive and famous preview of the teams heading into battle at Halibut 2010. And today we're checking out two of the more local of the squads - Fish N Discs (and Vinegar) (bonus points for the Halibut-y name), and the Barrel of Monkeys.

Fish N Discs (and Vinegar)
From: Ipswich … nah just kidding – all over the shop, really.
Captain: Alisa Yocom
Uniform: Tomato Sauce and newspaper

If you look close enough, there is some talent there. And a deep roster. So yes, should do pretty well at the party. On the field, well its kind of the same thing. But to be frank, we know that reporting anything about this team spells danger. Best to be cryptic. Nudge nudge, say no more, ask no questions. Because big Mike will get annoyed if I give away too many Tomsteve and Jack secrets. So we’ll just make reference to the Chess theme of the tournament and remind everyone to keep an eye out for the stationary King and recall that the Queen has all the power. And Justin is still quite tall.

Barrel of Monkeys

From: The Zoo
Captain: Peta 'Headache Sutra' McNaughton
Uniform: Primate

This team has an interesting selection policy, it seems. Either you must be married to another team member (Rob and Carla, Andy and Suz, Emma and Matt, Eireann and Jon), or have your first name starting with the letter D - Dan M, Dan B, Dusty, Danielle, Dave … that just leaves Ryan, Peta and Bronwyn as no doubt being random last minute pickups to round out the numbers. Add honey passes and D and what do you get? Smooth offence and defence, that's what. The opening game against Byron should pretty much set the tone for the tournament – are the monkey’s going to be of the friendly orangoutang flavour or the crazed cartoon ninja flavour? Time will tell.

JdR’s tip: 2nd
Julz’s tip: 6th
Seeding: 4th

Meanwhile, lets check the tank again to see if Paul the Octopus has a calamari themed view on who he prefers between these two teams ....



Yes - bragging rights to the BOM!

Will Fish N Discs be using Mansauce instead of tomato sauce on the chips?
