Last Ride Into the Sunset?

It's Monday. Four full days after the rain stopped for just long enough to allow the final round of Brisbane Premier League for 2008 to be played (without completely destroying the fields) and yet nothing until now here at the DojoMojo blog.

And it gets worse - there's no video this week. With no Marijke, and just the one wobbly-handed sub available on the sideline at any time, the camera stayed sadly stowed in the kitbag. Luckily we've got last week's highly gratuitous, failed layout attempt from Andy Lankowski to enjoy over and over again until the finals get started this Thursday night...

So, in the interests of providing quality (if not quite up-to-the-second) Dojo-related BPL reportage, let's quickly look back to that last regular season game against Rawhide. Hmmm... Well, what sticks in the mind from this distant vantage point is that it was a reasonably perfunctory win for the Dojo. The highlight of the night from this writer's perspective was without doubt the precision hammer for a goal from Matt Eastburn to a full speed receiver flanked by a pair of defenders, neither of whom were more than a couple of steps away. Sadly that set a precedent which many others attempted to emulate (without success) later in the game... Final score was 15-7.

The Rawhide compadres were as well-spirited and keenly competitive as ever, but not unlike UQ Passion from a few weeks back they just don't have the depth of numbers to tackle the Dojo this season. In fact, they may very well not have the numbers to even take the field next season - a very unfortunate state of affairs. It seems those UQ and Bug mega-teams just keep gobbling up all the fresh new talent, like the Microsoft and Apple of Brisbane Ultimate. If there are any entrepreneurial youngsters (or oldsters) out there wanting to step out of the shadows and shape their own team, now would be a good time.

Anyway, the A&B poll is updated for voting as usual on the right and most importantly - vote for us in the logo battle over at The Cultimate Opinion. As this post goes online we're just narrowly in front of team "AIR", about whom we know very little.
