Griffith Gladiators 13.16.94 Def. Yeronga Devils 4.3.27

Probably our best performance this year with a convincing win against Yeronga. Ellery and I played on the back flanks along side team superstar “Coops” and between the 3 of us we repelled a lot of their attacks throughout the game.

Here is a transcript from the post match press conference with Christian Bowman about the game:

Q: There was a lot of speculation about the Bowman brothers playing in the same team but it came to a realisation tonight, what are you thoughts on that?

A: Due to our 6 year age difference we haven’t had too much opportunity to play footy together. It was a great to see it happen tonight, my mum and my two sisters were there to watch which made it even better. To come out with a win was just great.

Q: Do you like beer?
A: Yes.

Q: You’re mum was here taking some pictures of the game and of the celebrity coach, are they on the internet at for us to see?

A: Yes, they are here. There is a great black and white portrait of the Gladiator coach in there too.

Q: You played in the backline today, you’ve played both in the forwards and in the centre in previous games, how did you go in the backs?

A: Well obviously you haven’t seen the stats, lets just say they don’t call me the butcher for nothing - I carved up!

This is a transcript from today’s press conference after the big match between GU and UQ.

Q: Christian, you had a blistering start to the first quarter with 4 shots at goal, but you only kicked one with 3 behinds, what can you say about those lost opportunities?

A: Due to global warming issues and the new level 5 restrictions, the grass condition was less than ideal. The excess CO2 in the air also affected my breathing pattern during my run up to shoot for goal. I was probably off by about 5 degrees, something I could calibrate for next time with a small shot of oxygen and watering the grass in front of my feet before each shot.

Q: You got into a fight today in the last quarter, it is most uncharacteristic of you, what started it and why did you retaliate?

A: I don’t usually get into fights on field, however on this occasion, I was being held after a brilliant tackle, and after not being awarded the free kick, I was less forgiving of such action. Pushing each others head into the ground isn’t something i’m proud of doing, but we shook hands after the game like sportsmen.

Q: Did you get injured at all today?

A: I have a sore shoulder after lining up a player to tackle them, and we both ran into each other at full speed. He eluded my tackle but I caused him to mis-kick the ball. I also have an unusual swelling on my neck under my chin. I think i may have recieved an elbow or got bitten by a snake out on the field .. i kid i kid (whole conference laughing)
