Post Season Post Vol 1
14 September 2008
In order to help those suffering Blacks withdrawals during the off-season, the Post Season Post will pop up semi regularly with updates on social events, player movements, hard hitting opinion pieces and in-depth interviews. Much like the Herald Sun newspaper, it won't always promise to be accurate but it will try to be unintentionally entertaining and contain lots of pictures.
Social Notes:
With the fog that generally marks the end of the football season only just lifting, social notes are a little on the thin side as most players enjoy time with their partners, family, colleagues, pets, series 4 of Grey's Anatomy and anyone else they've neglected over the past 6 months. However the Presentation Night is coming up on Friday 26 September so check out the website and get your tickets so you can hang out with Mick Commadeur in his grey suit/green tie combo and watch Kiza get emotional during his B&F speech.
Player Interview:
With this being the first edition of the Post Season Post, the editors thought it prudent to lead off with a big name in our player profile, and they don't get any bigger than Jack Heeley.
Post Season Post: So Jack, what have you been doing in your post season break?
Jack Heeley: Pretty much the same. 4 sets of power squats, weighted lunges, reverse chin ups, incline bench, decline row, prone push ups, a few tricep kickbacks and then a solid cardio workout. Sometimes on the bike, sometimes on the treadmill, occasionally on the stair master – I like to keep my body guessing.
PSP: Ah, ok. But how have you found the end of the football year different to the time you were playing?
JH: I don't follow.
PSP: For most footballers, the year is broken up into 3 distinct parts: Pre-season, in-season and post-season.
JH: Not me, I'm always in season.
PSP: Like potatoes?
JH: Pardon?
PSP: Potatoes are always in season.
JH: Really? I like potatoes. Good carbohydrates. Maybe you should call me Spud Heeley.
PSP: No worries Spud.
JH: Was there anything else? I have a date with a rowing machine.
PSP: I think that's it.

Disclaimer: Being a University Club, a number of lawyers have advised me that it would be prudent to point out that the above interview may not have ever actually occurred. Although given the right set of circumstances, I don’t doubt that it would have. PS We love you Jack.
Things to do now that Football has finished:
The Melbourne Marathon (Half, 10km, 5km also available) is running Sunday October 12 and registration is still open. TT will probably be there, as will both Kempton Brothers. Bricka and Marto are at long odds.
Alternatively, there is the 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty month long event during September. Even if fashion isn't your thing, the in-store appearances by Jennifer Hawkins and Lara Bingle may be.

It's either an exceptional piece of Premiership Memorabilia that doubles as a functional Tazo or a Tazo that doubles as proof that Jesso once wore a Carlton top. In any case, it's very rare and the seller only has 30 available. Buy it now for $1. It is unknown whether you get a deal if you buy all 30. Ideal for Christmas.
