Not fantasy related, but I enjoyed this read, courtesy of Sydney Morning Herald today
- Article:
There’s never a good time to dash a young footballer’s dreams, worse still when you have to do it a week before Christmas.
But sometimes that’s what the job entails and Craig Bellamy did just that.
About two decades ago, the Melbourne coach was struggling to split two promising players who were vying for the last spot in his squad.
An agonising decision was seemingly made easier when one of them suffered a serious leg injury. The youngster was told to return to Queensland and, if he recovered well, would be considered for selection the following season.
So you can imagine the Storm staff’s surprise when the kid with the bung leg presented for the final training session of the year, a brutal series of hill runs.
“Haven’t you got a broken leg?” he was asked.
The hopeful assured all and sundry that he was fine and began scampering up and down the steep ascent with the rest of the squad.
About midway through the torture session, Bellamy decided to investigate. The coach followed the players as they ran up behind a corrugated fence, which obscured the view of the other coaches at the bottom of the hill.
He witnessed the kid with the busted leg struggling to keep up as he pushed through the pain. However, just when he was about to fall behind the pack, one of his teammates ordered the squad to slow down, giving the straggler a chance to catch up.
“Hold up, we are finishing this together as a team,” said the group leader.
What he witnessed had made an impression on Bellamy.
When the session was over, he gathered everyone together.
“You,” Bellamy said pointing to the player with the busted leg, “are one tough bastard. You’re in the team.”
The whole squad cheered as one.
“And you,” said Bellamy singling out the ringleader, who slowed the session down just enough to ensure everyone finished it together, “are my captain.”
The kid with the busted leg, Dallas Johnson, went on to become a Bellamy favourite who represented his state and country. The newly appointed skipper was Cameron Smith.

The worst part about this week is knowing your red dots cant miraculously become green ones but the opposite could happen at any moment

Extra points if any or all of the piccies in this proposed montage capture said OUTS in funny on or off field situations, just to make us feel a little bit better about ourselves and our Teams this weekend

Horse is still a green dot
Outside chance he breaches security and gets a few hit ups in before they catch him
