A bloke with too much disposable income has hit a group chat this evening in the hope of building some momentum towards a trip to Bali.
Kobe Butcher (32) is one of the few over-thirties still booting up for the Betoota Dolphins 4th grade side, a club legend who plays twice a month and trains maybe once.
Cashed up to his fading hairline thanks to his job as a building compliance officer for Betoota Council, Kobe is often accused of having too much money and too much time on his hands.
A single bloke who lives in a converted granny-flat on his parent’s property on the outskirts of town, Kobe is reported to be the only Dolphins player keen on using his passport for the end of season trip.
“Boys, Mad Monday… thoughts on Bali?”, Kobe pelted into the chat at 6:40pm last night.
“I know a few places in Kuta where we could get some dorm rooms, we could do it on the cheap!”
With most of the team now tied down in healthy long-term relationships, Kobe’s offer to get suitably blind for six nights along Legian Road failed to get much traction.
Having been left on seen for more than 40 minutes, Kobe allegedly doubled down into the void of silence by sending some links into the chat.
“Thoughts on this joint? Check out the pool! Could fly out the Thursday after Mad Monday and be back the following Friday? Then you can all spend the weekends with your Missos” he conceded.
After several more hours of deafening silence, Dolphins club captain Brandon Murray-Tapine jumped in to save the chat with an unprompted meme about making the finals.
“Yeah mate, probably going to do Mad Monday in the clubhouse this year, club money is a bit tight.”
“But we’ll make sure they’re some Bintangs in the esky just for you,” he typed, a message which received several beer emoji reactions from the rest of the boys.
