Official Match Thread Season 39 Round 9 - Mount Buller Demons vs Roys FFC at The Snow Dome

One day in the early 90s I was on the bench for the Ressies and it was hammering down. The ground was a saucer too, the ducks' feet didn't touch the ground.

My teammates were ribbing me about my clean guernsey. So when I got in the ground heading for some pointless ruck duel in a shellacking with free aquaplane, my feet went without me and I swear I was momentarily fully submerged.

But I got my muddy guernsey!

Phar Ace this was Chelt v I think Ashwood at Essex Heights, 1991.

Aaahh, Ashwood. Never played at Essex Heights, must admit, not sure why, I think we were only in the same division for a brief period. Sounds a bit Tooronga / East Malvern, though the southern side of our own oval was notorious, so I won't throw stones.
 
I grew up as a child with the Comedy Company and Fast Foward as my Aussie TV comedy staples. They were fantastic (although FF and a lot of its adult and political themes were a bit over my head at the time !)






No way would they get away with Con The Fruiter these days but he and Col'n Carpenter will forever be dear to my heart !

It's interesting that no one had issues at all with Mark Mitchell dressing up to play Con's long suffering wife Marika as well back then.

Simpler times for some

Morning all. I haven't posted a game since South Australia last won the Sheffield Shield, so it's time for that to change. This one will get underway around 4.30pm AEDST - good luck to both teams.
Can't believe you guys actually won a final before Essendon
 
Loved the Goons and they are the primary brick in everything I've done since.

The Goons were more absurd than anything. It's a testament to how great and influential they were and continue to be.

And if you ever care to listen to them again, here's a link.

My old high school had extensive Goons literature. Seemed to me that this was a subterfuge attempt to lure pubescent males into that room.

Haha Eccles. "I'm smart, I'm wearing a Cambridge tie!" "You were at Cambridge?" "Oh yeah!" "What were you doing there?" "Buying a tie."

In which way, Yak?

Results based or otherwise?
In every way possible Cats

Ask me about any stat or point of measure and I’ll predict the gap
 
We’re on Yakker Barra watch!
I’m out at work this week Wosh but weather looks good for offshore next week when I get home for some reef fishing
