Working in radio can make you real angry. Like when you forget to press the on-air button, or you mispronounce an obscure band name… Over time, this shit can really get to you. The only way we’ve found you can release some of the built up crazy ‘legally’ is in the wonderful world of sport, where a rough tackle equals celebration rather than an AVO.

This method of anger management has proved pretty successful. The studio-sea legs of the Sydney Sailors are steady as she goes and the scurvy-dogs are defending champs… Just sayin’. 

The teams for the aussie rules Sydney 2013 Community Cup may sport some familiar faces from gigs or familiar names from your broadcaster of choice. But despite their differences and insatiable thirst for victory and enemy blood (this shit is insane) they’re all united for a damn good cause.

Reclink provides programs and support for disadvantaged youths, and the gold coin entry to the game will help them continue the good work. The Melbourne version, which the Sydney event is based upon, raised more than $100,000 for the charity this year. Check out more of Reclink’s worthy projects here.

The official launch of the Cup is at The Vic in Enmore, Thursday 8 August from 6pm, with Front End Loader’s Bow & Davis claiming the stage at 7.30pm. Also. What is sport without a meat raffle? NOT SPORT AT ALL THAT’S WHAT. So you can win you some sweet sausage. And if all this free produce has put you in a party mood, catch Mezko and Melodie Nelson at The Malborough and continue the fundraisin’ fun.

There are two more free entry fundraisers at the Malborough in the lead up to the Cup.

Thursday 15 August – Little Lovers and Restless Leg

Thursday 22 August- Toby Martin and Sam Shinazzi
