The long expected battle of the BYE came round again this week for the struggling Eels.
In a round of upsets the Eels have managed to hang on for the coveted 2 competition points in a match marred by massive refereeing blunders, mistakes and controversy.
The Eels came out strong but after 3 rounds of drinks began to fade.
Dozey said after the game, "I thought I was gone in the first half but managed to get my second wind and snorted on for the remainder of the match."
The penalty count at the end of the BYE was 28 - 0 against the struggling Eels, however a change of game plan mid session saw the club shout 6 drinks in a row and the players responded accordingly.
The BYE never gave up as the lead in this dull and boring encounter changed faster than a baby's nappy in a public toilet.
In past years the Eels have struggled against their nemesis of the BYE and this year were expected to lose by a considerable margin.
To the team's credit when the keg went dry and the powder got wet they lifted an entire brewery truck from the Tooheys brewery and some even confiscated their wive's/girlfriend's or miscellaneous partner's hair dryers to keep their powder dry.
The lads were completely spent by the end of this encounter with most unable to walk but they can hold their heads (in both hands) in the morning knowing they did not capitulate in such a rugged encounter.
Head coach Bad Farter was all praise for the team in their dedication to the game plan he had set before them to consume in excess of 50 Schooners, 1 bottle of spirits and 1/2 a kg of what looked like Nappy San powder - for each player.
He went on to say, "mmmmblby whafa goom."
Captain for the day reiterated the coaches' comments by saying, "whaaaaaafu mimmyboo vaaarrrkk."
The 2 competition points gained from this encounter have done absolutely nothing for the Eels position on the ladder who still remain odds on for the spoon.

I have a duty to the fans on 1EE to write this report each and every BYE, and have done so for the past several years Captain.
I will not stop until we can actually be confident we will get the 2 points from a BYE.
Focusing my mind is way too much to ask of me 13.
