13 Pax came out for a beat down. The scheduled Q was down and substitute Q had a miscommunication. There we were standing in a circle of regulars. Then it was said, “Who’s got the Q?”. it was 5.27am and we were mostly still asleep. Dry Rub asked who would be next. Who was the last MQ Samsonite – out, Eeyore – still in route ,and then there was Magnus. Well….I guess he would have to do.
A bit about the Sixth man. Taking the role of the Six Man. Being the first off the bench into the line-up. Providing a consistent and sustained effort. The most important quality a sixth man needs is that this player should know your teams systems as well as any starting player within the line. Often players junior, senior or elite if they are not in the starting line-up do not pay attention to the importance of knowing what is going on at all times.
Magnus was asked fill the senior role (he is Respect age). Was he up for the “Q”? It is a humbling experience because it goes from “being about you” and what you can do you for the “Pax”.
Here how it went down.
