The Defending Champions and the biggest team ever to hit the Gabba-Stack-a-Thon, Team LoveTrain is lean and mean and ready to take charge. With both the Favorite in the Yellow Jersey and the Green Jersey, Team LoveTrain will be very hard to beat.
KlossDog (Jim Lovell)(Capt) –
The older statesman of Team LoveTrain the Almighty K diggity has done it all, most things he has done twice, but some are questioning whether the old dog is past his best. Time and time again the analysts have questioned the Kloss’s form and time and time again he surpasses expectations, everyone has very fond memories of last year’s competition when this ‘Old Dog’ surprised onlookers to lead his team out for a magnanimous victory.
Questions loom over this years preparation, after many months of clear spirits and red bulls people were questioning if he had all ready retired and was ready to start fathering children, but a few months ago a revolution occurred, he tasted a beer and realised that he didn’t hate it, since then a light has been on in the old dogs eye, like the light of life has been flicked back on. Since then his performances have been stellar, he was a new man at NFC Straddie and many big afternoons at the tote had many tongues wagging.
After this stunning return to life many began penciling KlossDog into their longer term doubles, and he ultimately firmed to outright green jersey favoritism. However in recent weeks things appear to have turned against the old man. First he went on some cultist like training camp with the renowned killer of super sportsmen Tracy Menzies, and since then he has struggled. On Cup day he looked solid but there was a frailty that few saw, he was off his food and the heat found him out. Since then he has been off the training paddock with colic, his performance at the Mirtna Golf day was below par (on the drinks and on the course) with many stunned when he tapped out from the pub before the sun was fully set. Finally on his final big hit out, Damon’s Bris, he was seen getting on the Diet Cokes long before other contenders TGO and the Ayatollah. Another problem for the K dog is the recent development of ‘SMS a Yob’ – can he control his own anger enough to not upset his fellow ashes supporters? And will this be too tempting an out for K Dog- will he SMS his own name to the federali’s as away of tapping out?
Some pundits are suggesting the K Dog is already a memory, just some Hall of Fame member who will be paraded out on day one to bring in the crowds but who won’t be pushed to try and save his stud value. Others are worried that he may not pass a drug test after his visit to the dance clubs this coming Saturday (not an ideal preparation). Include him in your trifecta if you want an nostalgic bet, but don’t expect too much from this PAST champion.
Bill-a-Tron (William Lovell) –
Following on from last years stunning display at both the ICC Super Stack-A-Thon and the one day sprint that was Gabba Stack-A-Thon 2005, The Great One’s (TGO) handlers immediately plotted a course for the big showdown, Gabba Stack-A-Thon 2006. They new it would be his final hit out before taking on his new role as shuttle stallion, traveling the world on a search for the ultimate brood mare. After a strong early start to the year he showed he had early form with a strong performance on Australia day, he maintained this strong form all year with countless hit outs at Harpoon Harries, New Ballymore, The Pit, Klub299, and the Shangri-La, one particularly memorable occasion wowing QLD Red Stalwarts John Roe and Andrew Brown with his ability to not only stay, but also play golf at the same time.
As the spring began to hit out he showed his true might with strong performances at NFC Straddie and Brunswick and in recent times has been claiming to be at the top of his form. His preparation came to a close this last week with a Last Man Standing performance at the Melbourne Cup and an Only Man on the Spirits performance at the Mirtna Golf Day. All he needs to do now is keep it ticking over this weekend and he will enter the big dance as a short priced favorite.
TGO has form at this distance, this track, and in the conditions. A Definite Favorite.
