A beaut day at Spudville saw the Pies keep the Max Matthews Trophy for the third year running and a well deserved B.O.G. medal around Chrissy’s neck.
Hawthorn die hard and ace team manager Two Bums Bott unbolted it from the trophy cabinet and got his lovely wife Jenine to buff it up before its fleeting visit back to Glencoe.
Old mate Memory Lane got a grease and oil change from medicos, Swanee Opie and Lubola prior to stepping out for his first senior Pie game since 2002. The legend had a fair crack too, to show that he will be playing a few more games this season. His cameo appearance was unfortunately cut short after he got whacked with a ‘ham sandwich’. He spent the rest of the game next to his Godfather Roger ‘Hilter’ Doody as they worked together to bag the spuds. Another old spud digger Slogger was in the mix too after recovering from a run in Cans Bees. Hollywood on the injured list pulled up well after being anointed with the runners vest.
Great start by Mulga Narelle’s boom North Gambier Primary recruit Chris Long after a big game in the Bees the previous week. Among a couple of notable absentees the stand out was Fig, a very nervous, passionate bloke who decided the Gods were not on our side after seeing news footage during the week of Tibetan Monks dressed up in the same purple shite as Glencoe.
A phone hook up with bro Big Chief Silver Fox during the days hostilities eased his mind a tad. Enough anyhow to let him forget about his rare medical condition (the gout) and Glenelg getting whopped.
Cogs tested out the Glencoe Hill acoustics during the arvo to see if there were any echoes. He got no replies at all from the once vaunted Glencoe Glee Club.
Great to see Cubby dragging old Pie and Kalangadoo’s mafia connection Tony ‘come on the black’ Paccanaro out for the day from the Hallmont Retirement Village.
Johnny Mules sparkled out on the field due to the efforts of Roseanna putting his and Hollywood’s footy gear through a Chinese laundry in Geelong, after discovering a coupla smelly bags in her boot. She even arranged delivery back to the Doo through a facebook connection in Melbourne.
Chrissy’s love (apart from Roseanna) Bella Mules went missing from the house of horrors and was last seen ducking for cover.
Young Lead Foot Lep was feeling wheely good early in the week and had thoughts of being the Top Gun driver in our upcoming car trial before the ‘Fun Police’ derailed the apprentice Nail Banger. Looks like Old Man Hairy gets to use the blue uterus a bit longer. Lead Foot reckons it’s all fine and plans to approach Zoo Mag and put his foot in it to gain a bit of sponsorship.
The annual Fox Hunt saw Mister B Jaw get dragged out of bed and head for his cabinet. No not his gun cabinet but the one where his drop bear collection is kept. He joined the rest of the Rambos and had a great day after finding a flat bottle of coke to mix with his bundy a go go gear. The hunt was a bit lame until they flushed four out of one hole (Fig is still a bit doubtful)
Just managed to get to Spudville on time with the seniors starting at 2:10! Had the ‘privilege’ of wise bloke Fred in the heritage listed box with his Shitzu for the third term (the old bugger pinched my can too!). Noticed S & J Electrical have a decommissioned operator’s box on standby ready to whack up. (Fred saw it too).
Benny Who was spotted spitting chips at the Hilton! I have a Boydy, Moth and Guvs story but ran out of room – next week then.
After the Burr game rock up for a few at major sponsor The KADOO HILTON. Car trial and iron gut day (young Brilly is in serious training) on Sunday 19th June.
