Everything the Dojo players have been working on over the past few weeks finally came together on the muddy AJFC field last night. And by "working on" we mean simply receiving (and perhaps reading) email tirade after tirade from Sensei C. Just goes to show that emailing is every bit as good as real training.
Even Stefan got the message after an early rush-of-blood throwaway, so we must be doing something right.
Anyway, the short story is that a disciplined and determined Dojo rolled through last night's game against Slippry Bugs to win 15-6. Some might say that those two "d" words aren't really in keeping with the Dojo Way, but times change and clearly natural charm and stunning talent are no longer enough to stay at the top of what has often been described as Australia's best frisbee league.
Short completions, rapid resets and a variety of impenetrable zone D's characterised the Dojo approach to last night's game and it really stuck. A few long bombs were of course thrown in just to keep the Slippry D guessing, including one pure magic arcing huck from Matt Eastburn to an apparently levitating Steve Hjelm. If only Dom had his video camera handy for that one.
We're expecting a visit from the Slippry leadership to the Dojo bathhouse sometime later today (we're always happy to share our post-game recovery facilities), so expect to see that conversation posted in the next few days. There's also the latest MVP poll for your voting pleasure to the right - vote for as many players as you think deserved it!
And BTW - current MVP standings are Stefan (2) and Mike (1).
