I'm finding insomnia is one of the greatest tools a writer can have, particularly in terms of blogging, I mean, it's generally drivel at the best of times right? Well it's after 11pm (omg) and this blog is certainly no exception!

Anyway anyway, wanna know what's on my mind tonight??
Do ya?
Do ya?
Good, it's VRDL.
...who?
I said, VRDL.
The Victorian Roller Derby League All Stars were national champs at last year's Great Southern Slam, shortly after the Slam we played them in Melbourne and they DESTROYED us by 150 points. We could not have asked for a better spanking and they allowed the Vice City Rollers to take a massive leap in terms of our skating, strategy and general game heads. The VCRs face them in 5 days and this will be epic game for the VCRs on our home turf.
While the thought of facing them again makes the back of my neck sweat and tingle and my vision blur, I am electrified by the thought of rolling out on that track against such epic giants of the game in this country. It's true, the VCRs have less experience than the All Stars BUT we are fit for this test, physically, strategically and most importantly mentally. Finding the mental space to visualise a win is difficult with colossal skaters like Rocky Rogue, Bezerker and Ruby Ribcrusher amongst the opposition. On Saturday these skaters will form a blue and white mass in which we won't see or fear an individual, we'll only see the holes in their packs and the opportunities we make.
It's corny but as captain I will ask the VCRs the question posed by Eminem, prophet or total dik I don't know, however, no one can deny the relevance or (dare I say it) brilliance of:
Look, if you have, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

Seriously, the only thing slipping this Saturday will be my fluro leg warmers as I skate with a team of amazing women, supported by a league of dedicated people for a home crowd whose roar for us in December made my heart burst.
