Well, well, well. It’s almost the end of October and I’m only just getting back to my blog!

Even though it’s the offseason, I have still been busy! I’ve been getting out to schools all over Perth and beyond. I did a week-long trip to the Wheatbelt region of WA, visiting Narrogin, Corrigin and Kondinin. It sure gets hot out there, but I had a great trip, meeting loads of Eagles fans and seeing plenty of the countryside.

I’ve also been busy at the club, while the players have been on holiday, I’ve been training. Most of my time is spent in the gym, keeping in shape and getting a few dance moves together for season 2015.

Last weekend we had a big sale in the warm up room, where we had a sausage sizzle, inflatables and a whole lot of merchandise. There were plenty of visitors and I really enjoyed  the day, plus I got a new kit!

I have allowed myself a little time to relax over the break, doing some reading and some planning. I’m reading Coxy’s new book, ‘Iron Eagle’ and it’s great! Even though Coxy and I are old mates, it’s nice to hear his story told in his own words and not at the top of his lungs!!

The reason I’m doing some planning is that my birthday (hint hint) is coming up! I’m organising a party for December 13 at Bounce Inc. and I can’t wait! If you haven’t heard of Bounce Inc., it’s basically the coolest place ever. It’s wall-to-wall trampolines and then there’s foam pits and basketball rings and other obstacles. All of the Rookies are invited to attend and you all should, because it’s going to be an absolute blast!

Anyway, that’s enough from me!

155 sleeps until footy begins!

Love Rick
