You bastards! Wait until I leave and then you start playing well. Congrats on making the Big Game!!
Totally wish I could be there with you. (Mostly for the celebrations afterwards!!)
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the mild Adelaide winter. I am heading up to Auckland presently.
Haven't played rugby for a few weeks now and I'm in serious withdrawal. Maybe find some trouble up in Auks. Anywayz I'm late for my lunch date, don't take any guff from those swine on Saturday and do the red and blue proud. I'll order some Bundy on Sat night in your honour. All the best,
ERIK
5 out of 5 Kiwis agree... Aussie Rules Football is for fags.
Amazing result for Old Colls on weekend. Wish all the best of luck for the Big One. Cheza & Boofy, where do you get the energy at your ages, and Hamish Cranna at last a good reason for a piss-up. Good luck fellas.

Dear Kim, Glad to see we're having another great season. Please pass on my best wishes and good luck to all the teams that have made the Grand Final - especially the 1st Grade (any left from '98 still playing?).
I'm out in Iraq at the minute, all's well so far, haven't got in the way of any bullets/bombs as yet. I've got 2 months left to push out here and then (with luck) I'll be over for Jim Denley's wedding.
All the best,
Packy
All the best Collegians on Saturday. I was hoping to fly out for a weekend, but no, and I'll regret missing a great weekend. It'll be a good one.

Kim, Have monitored the Club performance this year and it was great to see the 1sts win over Brighton in the majors.
Congratulations to Old Cols 1sts and 14s and every good wish for your Grand Finals.

I hear the first are in the GF - Great news !!
Sadler would have to be the most successful coach in Old Cols history - a great achievement !!!
I heard Sandy Taylor was in Adelaide and Gobbing off to all and sundry about his skills at Harlequins.
Melbourne and Quinn's played off in the preliminary final last week ( Quinns being the Minor premiers ).
Sandy assured me we were going to get a lesson in rugby...as he would.
We ( Melbourne Rugby club ) beat Quinn's 18-10 to advance to the Grand Final against Moorabin.
Sandy had to leave the field after our second rower " hugged" him during play.
It's somewhat bizarre and satisfying to play against an Old Cols in Melbourne.
He is off to the UK next week for his Transfer with the army.
I hope we can continue the success in 2 days.
The club really supports finals and we are expecting a pretty big crowd on Saturday.
I look forward to our "RAWPT" ( Rowzy awesome white pointer tour - which is the same as the "CROC" ethos ) tour to Adelaide.
I hope you guys are putting on a show for these fellas...it would be good to have the numbers on the day.
The only thing is, is that they want me to play for Old Cols so they can "line me up".
Send my regards to everyone and see you soon.
Cheers
Tim Austin
Well done for the Final winners. What a great result. Sydney is going well and I am enjoying the Rugby here, I have been reffing a number of games mainly the schoolboy stuff. Take care and anyone who comes to Sydney drop me a line if you feel like a beer.
