G’day Rock-bloggers!! 

It’s been a huge week in Rick-land. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to meet around 600 of my Rick’s Rookie members at the annual Training Day here at Domain Stadium. It was a brilliant turnout! 

I everyone who came had as good a time as me. I tested my skills (or should I say SKILLZ) on the draft combine activities, such as the handball cube, obstacle course, and kicking cube. Pity Simmo wasn’t there to check out my scores … he would pick me in today’s team for sure!

Then I got on the bouncy castle and ruffled a few feathers (haha) with a bit of havoc. I devoured my free hamburger and Masters Milk, then I got stuck into some of the delicious free fruit that HBF Health were giving away (not to mention nabbing a free massage from them too!).

I was slightly regretting my decision to hoe into all the delicious free food once I took my (rightful) place in front of the audience though! A couple of keen Rookies challenged me to a push-up comp … those kids, phew! They sure showed me. Old Rick-o here needs to get back into the gym, stat, if that’s what I’m up against!

But on to other things – there just happens to be a HUGE game happening this Saturday night. That’s right, we’re taking on those poor excuses for poultry, the Magpies, over at Etihad Stadium. A Magpie. PUH-LEASE. Call yourself a bird?

Let’s hope our boys also show them up on-field. It’s going to be massive, a win this round will really set us up for a tough run home for the rest of the season. The good news is, our boys are in great nick, and we also got the choccies the last time we played, which was round 20 last year.

I’d better run – got myself a plane to catch!

GO EAGLES!

Love Rick
