Thought i would share another little surprise activity the Manly Seabirds experienced last Wednesday night at training. Now firstly let me make it clear that we train every Wednesday night from season start to season end – even if we have the bye then weeks of away games ahead of us OR if Origin is on – the Manly Seabirds still train. No rest for the wicked they say! So seeing as we are all so use to this routine and know no different it’s a shock when things get shaken up a little.
We also have a training dress code at Manly and are supplied with a variety of
different tops to wear (which are uber adorable) and our outfits each week consist of a crop top, bike
shorts, stockings and shoes. Even on the coldest of nights we still have to
make this outfit combo work for us – so the colder it gets the harder we work
in order to stay warm! Yep. She’s a total drill sergeant that Monique Carroll –
haha. I kid I kid.
So when we all got a message saying to “please make sure you rug up in warm comfy
clothes to training” – it immediately set little sirens off in our heads that
we were in for something new. I instantly thought “uggghhh its a field
rehearsal on quite possibly the coldest & wettest night in history” and
many of the other girls had similar scenarios floating around in their minds on
what exactly lay ahead for us. So when we arrived at the rehearsal studio and
found that the doors were locked but yet the lights were on and we could hear
mumbling from the inside we were all thrown for six. What was she doing in
there??
When the doors finally opened and Monique popped her head out of the door we didn’t
know what to expect – until we saw the room had been set up as a CINEMA with a
complimentary dinner & candy bar service to boot!!! Oh yeh – Hallelujah for
the break night!
Monique had set up a runway of pom poms which led us to our
allocated seating to then sit back, relax, eat and enjoy all the moments we
have experienced so far as a squad this year. We were treated with viewing all
the images from our bikini shoot day along with many other fun game day
memories and then it was a movie night. And holy moly let me tell you – there
were some absolute stunning images that flashed before our eyes.
eeekk I may be biased
but im saying it anyway - some of the girls images were just spectacular and
all round yummy yummy uber delish! Monique succeeded yet again in pulling off another
of her “Mayyyyjah” surprises for us all and we couldn’t be more thankful!

While reminiscing on our summer shoot it got me thinking... with the Sea Eagle being
our team mascot we really struck it lucky in the fabulous feathered wings
department. The wings are such a glamorous statement piece and they just add
such a wow factor as they look so bright, fluffy and fierce in the sun!

Which
made me wonder: which other club could get away with adding some of their
Mascots magic into the mix? And i could actually see a few clubs being able to
do it.
BUT. My most fave would have to be the Dragons and the
possibility of
getting their “Game of Thrones” on and stepping out in Dragon Wings. Oh
la la could you imagine? Holy Khaleesi!! It would be taking the “flames”
to a whole new level!

Just a thought. Let it simmer. You’ll be feeling it soon! Oh yeh.
