The four fellas played Under 17 this year for South. They came over to our house for tea before South's presentation night. A very T.I.A affair. It was supposed to start at 7pm. We turned up on time. It did not start till 8:30pm. I got a call from the boarding house asking where the fellas were at about 10pm. Luckily we were there long enough for me to accept the "Best Team Man" trophy. My brother said they gave it to me to keep the whitefella happy. I was happy. Zakk (doing the Westside symbol), Clinton (holding Joseph) and Peter (to my left) were suspended about 2 weeks after this for continual misbehaviour at school....they kept saying they did not want to be there, but I think something else was going on. Corey (black shirt) stayed the whole year and changed over the year in his attitude and ability. He is (hopefully) back next year and may start a traineeship/apprenticeship and still be playing footy for South. I had a minor run in with Corey as well, he was not doing as he was told, i had a pencil and was pointing it in his direction, which I found out is very threatening, like "let's sort this out with our fists or other objects". I backed down very quickly and apologised and basically said to Corey, "I trust you with my own kids, but I can't trust you to do what I ask you to do." Then is was over. Corey, came to me 2 days later and told me he was my son as well.....and that was it. I don't know what that really means, but I guess my boys might have a new big brother.
