The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 11
After the temperature hovering around S F A at 8am Julia’s global warming bullshit failed to kick in to provide a fine day at Footy Park as the rain did not precipitate until ten from the final siren.
Thank you to the Couchmeister for last week’s club notes and League man P.D. on the time keep stop watch for helping me out during my mission from God finding railway gear in the big smoke. Apologies to Subway at Tailem for my blasphemy Sunday upon peeking at the Sunday Mail results.
A win and a loss for our junior grades last week against Kongorong. The junior colts weren’t able to repeat their first round win going down in a close game. Unfortunately when we are down in numbers we keep getting injuries leaving us with only 14 players last game. Thanks to Chris Long & the Kongorong boys that played for us giving everyone a good game. Encouragement awards went to C Vaughan Fasta Pasta, J Carlson Subway, L Ousey McDonalds, K Marshall McDonalds, S McManus Video Ezy & Tim Davies K’Doo Lions Club Ritchie Rich Award.
The senior colts got back on the winning side of the ledger in a very tough and competitive match. We probably didn’t play as well as we would have liked but you only play as well as the opposition lets you and the Kongorong team gave it their all in a great contest. Better players were T Jones Kriegers kool Cash, M Lowe KFC Life Members, P Davies Fasta Pasta, J Bayley KFC Thurs Night Tea, R Carlson Kentucky Fried Chicken & K Wiestra KFC Ladies Committee award.
Cans Bees were fronting a Hawk side just outside the four. Old Basil Brush went on a fact finding tour of Shadows after training Thursday. Macca’s mission was to find whether his bulk stock of unclaimed footy boots fitted any of the disco dickheads on the dance floor. Any positive results gave the smelly foot owner an automatic inclusion on the Doo team sheet. He found Timmy Brennan, Stone Henge Gribbsy and Kriegs there on their pension day out and four champion colts wondering what the fuss was about. Pick up of the day was old mate Peter Collins our 2001 premiership coach who enjoyed strutting his stuff on Footy Park after his last kidnap a couple of years back.
The Hawks fart arsed about to be only five goals up at half time before realising they were a monty, cranking up their effort to wind up 113 points victors. Gribbsy would shite in the best and fairest if he played enough injury free games our New Zealand ambassador played a beauty and was well supported by club elder Timmy B, Benny Whitehead, Groves, the House and chip of the old cock Zac Dunn. No photo shoot unfortunately but history made as Sharon’s two favourite boys Timbo and Michael suited up together in the Bees.
After the Bay blow out it was good to front up at Footy Park against a lesser light. One however that we couldn’t snuff out. The Doo boys were far from embarrassed even though they only managed to take the points on the hawks in the second quarter. An eight goal to three final term by Kongorong snuffed out our early momentum as the visitors finished clear eleven goal victors.
Jonsey was our best player in a display to indicate he could jag another best and fairest. Doof Doof Bannister also came up trumps and they were well supported by Pebbles who must be due to a new pair of boots after kicking the leather off his round eleven pair. The Auld boys Brad and Aiden and the latest of the Mulraney Ousey dynasty in Braiden. I’m sure Grandpa Mulga would have been looking down on the boy! Well managed by fill in Two Bums Bott as Troy was at his Grandpas 90th. Mind you Troy was back by games end but when you are 90…
Old mate Youngy our former terminator visited Footy Park on his Harley and declared that “I’ll be back” in 2014. Good news with a build up to future success looking on track.
2001 gun Ravi Shastri cheered his coach P.C. on from the hill the former gun not putting himself in danger after 12 years in dry dock stacking shelves in the Holy City I.G.A.
2001 coach P.C. got a shadow voucher. Good work as this bloke can be dangerous given the opportunity.
Benny Who’s menagerie of winged and footed animals looks to be upsetting the neighbours as Missus Who’s pet Pie Magnum takes on woofa’s Molly Carlson’s tucker. Benny’s plans for his guided Magpie to rack off with Travs home brew may need reviewing.
Swannee Opie and Missus Susan have racked off to Pomgolia / Wales and Ireland including the first day of the ashes at Lords. Main man Mick Remboski is unfazed and cooking up a storm on the hill.
Reunion plans are on hold after the brains trust decided to have a triple bypass (82;83;84) and delay it for a big 2014 bash.
Tony Brick in the Wall Cooper had plenty of opportunities to count the farkers. The 60 year old Floyd champ wheel barrowed in partner Sandy’s George Tayor sleep over gear as Centrelink ssslowed right down.
Bowling club curator back from a fact finding tour of Figs car boot and Western Australia set siege to the Doo Hilton’s front door on Monday. Our thirsty boy had SFA chance of scaling the battlements and raided his fridge instead. A lesson learnt. Kongorong Gilbo a closet Catholic set sail from the Doo Central Station. Our intrepid flag waver is keen to meet with his roots’ or some other excuse to have a gooner or three. The boy was most impressed with the half time bash pigging out on the left over prawns from our sponsors day spread

The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 10
A tough day out against Pt Mac last week for all grades including our juniors. The junior colts went down to the top team but never gave up trying all game. We were a bit short on numbers but were helped out by the bay boys, thankyou to those players who filled in for our team. Better players were S McManus, K Marshall, C Vaughan, L McIntyre & L Telford.
In a much anticipated game the senior colts went down by only 5 points. We were out muscled and out played by a team that wanted the ball a bit more on the day but can take a lot of positives out of the match. Going down by a small margin and not playing to the best of our abilities gives us a perspective of what to work on. Unfortunately James Brennan sustained a very bad injury suffering a collapsed lung in an off the ball incident. We wish him well in his recovery and trust that all players learn that you only need to play the ball and not the man.
Better players were J Bayley Kriegers Kool cash, M Krieger KFC Life Members, L Farrugia Fasta Pasta, B Casey KFC Thurs Night Tea, M Krieger Kentucky Fried Chicken & B Ousey KFC Ladies Award.
Our trip to the Bay was always going to be a challenge with a number of players missing in action in both senior grades.
Macca’s Bees had only 11 starters on the team sheet which meant the time had come for drastic measures. Phone calls and texts went out to any past player, legend or superstar to pull on the boots and they came from near and far to help the cause! Thanks go out to Stoney, Socksy, Spuddy, Tommy, Damien, Bob, Crouchy, Dexter and colts Zac, Jack, Cam and Jakob.
Socksy even got his autographed boots back and pulled out the woollen #42 to once again run out for a kick.
The team that took to the park may not have been the fittest but were committed to having a go and that’s what it’s all about.
The Bay boys certainly got the jump on us and by half time they were leading 12 goals to 2. Kochy went off with a knee injury in the third quarter and Crouchy soon followed with a calf strain. The boys battled on and eventually went down 23 goals to 3.
Best of the bunch was coach Macca, Matty May, Brayden, Cam Auld, Millhouse and Grovs. Stoney, Zac and Ben were our only goalkickers and Socksy won the ‘B Grade Comedy Act Hat’ for his point in front of goal.
Thanks again for the efforts of the colts and veterans who filled in for the game. Hopefully next week will have some players back.
The Seniors were down on players with both Jon and Chris Mules, as well as Banno and several others away.
Port Mac jumped out of the blocks with a 7 goal to 2 first quarter and it was all down hill for the Doo boys from there. We didn’t score in the second and by half time the bay had 21 goals on the board. Moves were being made and coach Dunn was doing what he could, but the end result was a big loss to a very formidable Bay team.
Our only goal kickers for the day were BC and Reece Carlson.
Our best players were BC, Andrew Stone, Jonesy, Jack Casey, Jaggs and Mitch Lowe.
Our Goods and Services Auction was held last Sunday at the club and was a great success with plenty of people attending and bidding. Stag v Bulljaw’s bidding tug-o-war was a highlight on the day and everyone enjoyed the show. Dexter had Jarrad Kilsby booked as a duo with Killer for a double live act! Thanks to David Creek and Sam O’Connor, and all those business and individuals who supported our auction.
Our Sponsors Luncheon is on today at the club.

The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 9
Our annual trip to the desert was fairly successful with the Doo Pies taking home three wins to upset the media who expected our Nanga friends to break the ice and record their first win for the season in the seniors. The day was a tad icy too but nothing the hot Pies couldn’t warm up.
Our last game a fortnight ago against Nangwarry was a good one for our junior teams. The junior colts in a tight game won their second game for the season. A couple of long time supporters said it was one of the best junior games for team effort they had seen, well done boys. Nangwarry got off to a good start but we were able to produce a strong third qtr to take a slight lead and hang on to it in a tense last qtr. In an overall team effort better players named were S McManus, J Carlson, L Ousey, K Stephens & K Marshall. Unfortunately Tye McManus sustained a bad injury breaking his arm playing on Sunday we wish him a quick and complete recovery.
The senior colts lined up against an undermanned Nangwarry side. Well done to all the players who played for the opposition making the game a contest. The game was played in good spirits by both teams with the margin only blowing out in the last qtr. After a week off we will need to bring our best over the next couple of weeks as we play some of the top four teams. Best Named in our last game were B Ousey Kriegers Kool cash, T Jones KFC Life Members, James Brennan Fasta pasta, C Howlett KFC Thurs Night Tea, P Davies Kentucky Fried Chicken & B Tiller KFC Ladies Award.
Congratulations to the following players who represented the MSEFL last weekend in interleague football. Sam McManus U 14, Lachlan Farrugia, Liam Carlson & Patrick Davies U 15, Christian Howlett, Tyler Jones, Mitchel Lowe, Jacob Opie & Braiden Ousey U 17. The club is proud off your achievements in representing our club at this level.
Cans Bees had a couple of colts to help them out as they took on a Saint side with a bit of talent that look like they may be going places, having three experienced old buggers combining about 130 candles that contributed 15 of their 21 goals. Their accuracy showed out with only 3 points, while the Doo boys 15 shots gained them only 7 goals.
After a comparatively even first term the Nangas kicked away in the next before taking their foot off the pedal in the last 20 minutes. Best for the Doo were Timmy Brennan who tried his guts out all day, Matty May who was determined to put in a good one against his old team mates, old mate Gully, Dessy West, Adam Harris and Groves. The House led the charge with 3 goals.
The Boilover of the day! Well Rocket Rod Morris cadet sports journo Marvin (believed to be paid peanuts) had the inside goss that our chief Muchacho Dunny was going to invite fly out and thank god back in Chrissy and winged pie B C to have a kick of the sherrin at 2.20pm. Unfortunately this classified info didn’t get to blind Freddy and fellow newshound Chappy until approximately 4.50pm. These two blokes even had me wondering if it was worth pumping up my bike tyres for the trundle to Nangas, given the foregone conclusion! ‘Perhaps’ Boony was listening to 963 as he pulled out of the selected side to be replaced by talented colt Stag 3 Mitch Lowe.
The match was going to Freds script as the Doo boys were down the gurgler 4 zip in the first 6 minutes before they extracted most of the digit with Benny Young testing out his new you beaut 50m Bunnings tape measure to see the quarter close out a goal up.
A tight second term had us going goal for goal before Ralphs half time Hahns found the gap reduced to a mere two points.
The third got the Nanga boys sucking on their cans that little bit harder as they got a tad excited, not their old Ooh Ooh Ooh days but their was a sniff in the air as the home side gained the lead to go 2 up.
Far from pushing that big red button Muchacho rallied his troops and with Missus Who’s favourite boy running riot it was eventually done done all Dunn as the old champ led the chorus with the Pies 21 point victors.
BC’s six week lay off was well worth it as the boy stood tall booting eight to be named best. Others to have a day out were Jags, Jason Banno, Pebbles, Tom Banno and Chrissy. Other main goal kickers were the two old geriatrics Dunny and Jonesey. Good also to see Tuna Tom back as runner after hanging up his fishing rod.
Retired Bees legend Socksy managed not to get decked giving a full commentary on proceedings from the forward pocket.
Our card playing umps game of snap gave new meaning to the old definition of confusion.
Lots of the Doo boys headed off to witness our Mules boy Benny notch up his 200 for Glenelg on the Friday night. Surprisingly most made it back to the Desert in time and sober. Well done Benny lets hope you can start working on your Kdoo 200 next year. Freddy congratulated Chrissy on the stellar achievement but we all know what he meant! The matriarch and patriarch of the Mules dynasty, Cathy and Fig took one of the Mules fleet. Cathy wishes she hadn’t done a Juliar and scrapped fuel watch with the go go gear running out at Cookes Plains. An SOS to Jack Lep had him ready but the near miss was averted as Figgo charmed one of the ten locals into juicing him up. Petrol and this stretch of Highway has previously been recorded in the tales of Fig.
1984 Robe premiership runner up and current Doo seconds flag waver Gavin looks to be added to Cans squad with a fine mark and quick fire hand ball to Groves in the third quarter.
Champion wind assisted slasher the House had his mug shot in the Watch as Rod Morris recognised his happy glimore moment of reverse whacking of the golf ball. Fortunately the latest balls up did not result in any near death experiences for his fellow whackers.
1983 Bee champ Feathers, our Booleroo boom recruit offered insights into the 2013 group reckoning a half time tug of war should be worth a few goals in the Doos favour. The Doo 1977 Dicks Pullers undefeated South East champs would have been a good test.
Stag back from the big Aussie fish trip using Jack’s boat made a few waves introducing a blow up bloke to the trip. The aptly name Jack took pride of place in the boat with comments aplenty from bemused locals and grey nomads. Jack is currently at Dexters waiting for his next amphibious adventure. Swannee Opie found his confined space certificate came in handy after trouble and strife Susan inadvertently locked the bloke in. The boy has lost his enthusiasm for the men’s shed concept.
Neighbourhood watcher Helen at the canteen lookout tower advised me of some suss vehicle movements the evening prior to Footy Park hosting Interleague game. Three options, either they were up to no good or possum watchers or boofing. The last one ruled out as there was no rock and roll movement of the car. Her young bloke Liam and Benny Case made a few quid boundary umpiring the big one. Congrats to the two entrepreneurs and our other reps on the day.
President Ralph was on the look out for any unsavoury characters with raised eyebrows after receiving the tip off from Freddy on the seismic event caused by the Doo hosting the game. Thanks to all the helpers before and on the day for making Footy Park look a picture and the Ladies for a great spread of food. Cann looked very comfortable in her new extended kitchen.
Trendsetters, Klangas in a league first have appointed club elder Timmy Brennan as our Racial Vilification Officer. Lubola and others are under notice after being sprung with inappropriate email material!
Banno was King dick of the Doof Doof brigade as he unveiled his back seat ghetto blasters following the pre match line up and national anthem. Pebbles and Bam Bam Pratt our senior reps were most impressed.
The forgotten member of the Bourke and Wills trippers in Hawky found his way back to the Doo base camp after finding a few of his dig trees void of the amber fluid. Reports suggest that Bomber is responding well to treatment.
Don’t forget our big Goods and Services fundraiser tomorrow and the Triple 1983 premiership reunion on the Robe Game.

The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 8
The Doo hosted the Burr prior to the bye bye in fine conditions after a few early sprinkles, unfortunately it was not enough to rain on the Mozzie parade as they successfully retained the Harry Bott Shield. Two Bums Bott had his hot little hands on it at the twelve minute mark of the last quarter showing an interested Crouchy before handing it back to it’s current custodians on Footy Park after the final siren. We need to wait for the Burr home game in 2014 now for our next crusade.
Our junior colts had a tough game a fortnight ago against the Burr. The game looked like getting out to a big margin but after half time with the help of a couple of the bigger Mt burr boys the game evened up a bit. We are going to struggle on the score board against the bigger and better sides but the lads never lack enthusiasm and endeavour. Hopefully after a week’s break we can get a full list back and have a more competitive game. Best named last game were Tye McManus, Liam Ousey, Sam McManus, Matt Davies, Luke McIntyre & Nathan Auld. Congratulations to Tye McManus who made the lower Sth East SAPSASA side and spent last week playing in the carnival in Adelaide well done Tye.
The senior colts game was going to be a real test for both teams with the Burr boys going in undefeated. It was a tight contest into the second qtr but we were able to put on some scoreboard pressure and skip out to a handy lead by half time. Despite Mt Burr going forward often our backline stood up to repel any scoring opportunities & enable us to come away with the points. A great contribution from all players. Better players mentioned were M Krieger Kriegers Kool Cash, B Ousey KFC Life Members, M Lowe Fasta Pasta, T Jones KFC Thurs Night Tea, James Brennan Kentucky Fried Chicken & Cam Auld KFC Ladies Award.
Cans Bees were still pumped after their breakthrough win at Robe with Crouchies old man Terry catching the boys pre match for their 2013 team photo.
This was where the smiles stayed though as our blokes ran into a mozzie unit that boasted ‘past’ champ Adam Wiese and a couple of other of his retired mates in the side.
The Pies led at the first before the visitors started to take control seeing them 14 points up at the half. The last half wasn’t too flash as the Mozzies rattled on 7 unanswered goals.
Dessy West put in his best performance for the year to receive best player honours and the Ladies committee award, Timmy Brennan back in the side got the RSL voucher while Gully came in third for a trip to Shadows. Others to get a gong were Groves, Gribbsy and Simon Gallasch.
It was always going to be tough beating the Mozzies. One had to be optimistic with their having a couple out. The Pies could well and truly match them on this account with a few outs and then out do them with super muchacho Dunny out of action with the bubonic plague and then losing the big boom Jags Pratt and Sticky Fingers Dill Barlow early to injury certainly did our chances no good.
An even first term had the visitors 5 points up. The second saw the Doo manage only a solitary goal from our 5 scoring shots whilst the Burr did the dirty on us managing four from their six, as our injuries took their toll on the side. Five goals a piece after the long break kept the margin to four before a tight final term declared the Mozzies winners by 29 points.
Old mate Jonsey kicked arse to be B.O.G. The veteran qualified for the adage ‘age shall not weary them’ and was a monty for the RSL voucher. Hatchy rolled into second place with the Ladies committee award. Jason Banno was off to annoy Bec at Collar & Cuffs. Pebbles was in for a night of doof doof at Shadows and a sleep in probably. Others to contribute to the best players were Stag junior Mitch and Scotty Turner, who managed two goals.
A huge day at the Gold Cup for a few of the Doo boys and girls. Seasoned elbow bender and squashed grape tester Ralph was sampling a few bots of Coonawarra’s best rot gut after a big day out. The bloke in question received a call from Swanee Opie at 9.30pm to bring black arm band tape to Footy Park. Fast forward to 9.30am and Ralph declares he has N.F.I. what Swanee is on about when quizzed on the whereabouts of said tape. He has now sworn off the Alzheimer’s inducing vino!
Meanwhile the Big House used his considerable skills at fluking it. The ace B grade high roller financed his headache with a big big win that should see the champ in pies and chips for the foreseeable future.
Old Pie and 1953 Gold Cup jockey on the winning Absalon Peter Walker was overjoyed to have the honour of presenting the 2013 cup to the winners. Well done old fella.
Tank had a bit of empathy for the Mayor of Hiroshima in ‘What the faark was that?’ after the Barlow residence moved a bit to the left late Saturday night. Dil and the old bloke are definitely having a bad trot. Good news for the young fella was the all clear on a suspected broken foot. The injury will still take a bit to get over however.
You might have heard about the freeloading boat heads absconding from their 4 star N.T. lodgings? Well our Sandy Corner free range rooster rookery has 5 of its best cock a doodle Doos on the loose, last seen heading for asylum in Nangas. By first bounce today they should be strung up in Millsys barby. The other side of the railway line hosted the annual roundup of Jo’s feathered thousands. This stocktake, best achieved on horseback saw a rouge clucker spook Jo’s giddy up to see the old girl bucked off.
The end result of this saw Aunty Kerry have a cheap feather duster for sale outside The Shop Friday. The proprietress was also spotted wearing curlers and a cape haunting John Street. A great way to advertise Janeen’s hair and nail salon …….. a bit like the bloke in the monkey suit outside the Pizza Joint in the Mount.
Basil Fawlty had hotel inspectors. Crackerjack had to contend with License inspectors during the Burr game. No Siberian hamsters in sight only the odd Euro Wasp.
Latest on our 1983 multiple premiership reunion has the celebrations set for the Robe game of July 27th.

The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 7
Well there we were: as Figgo knew only too well after being at The Alamo, having a few gooners: Backs to the wall!,and playing for breakthrough wins.
The Roosters did their bit in painting the scoreboard black and white to give us a false sense of security. Robe had to contend with news of old mate Iron Mike Petersons sad demise filtering through culminating in a minutes silence before the seniors with both seniors, reserves and netheads paying their respects. On a personal note Mike was a mans man and his comradeship with the league exec and in particular P.D. and myself shall be treasured.
A lovely trip to the seaside town of Robe last week for our junior grades. The junior colts weren’t able to get the points but had a great tussle for three & a half qtrs before Robe kicked a couple of late goals. The game was played in good spirits and was a credit to both teams in the endeavour they showed. Encouragement awards went to S McManus, K Marshall, Angus Tucker, M Davies, L McIntyre & T McManus.
The senior colts also had a good game against Robe but were able to maintain a winning margin from qtr time on. It wasn’t our best effort but the Robe team made sure we had to work to get the result. A much tougher opponent this week on past results so we will have to be switched on and play team football. Best named last week were M Kreiger Kreigers Kool Cash, B Ousey KFC Life Members, James Brennan Fasta Pasta, C Howlett KFC Thurs Night Tea, T Jones Kentucky Fried Chicken & B Tiller KFC Ladies Award. Once again thanks to the players who played a half for Robe & congratulation to Tyler Jones on playing his first game of A grade for K”doo
Cans Bees rounded up a side with the assistance of a couple of senior colts who were fresh from a good win. The colts won out in filling the gap after Socksy hid amongst a Teddy Bears Picnic at the Golf Club end and colts waterboy Crouchmeister dodged and weaved amongst the fence patrons.
Our boys were pumped and piled on five to SFA in the first before Robe broke the drought as we put on a couple of extras. A state of confusion existed on the scoreboard but a bit of homework showed that the pies were 44 points up going into the last quarter.
With a sniff of their first win there was no way old Basil Brush was going to let his boys faark up. A bit of the old in out in out finger wise saw them cement 6th place as the last 20 minutes found the blokes another 4 goals to 1. The big call in naming the best had Scotty Turner leader of the pack, Gully a real standout amongst his feathered friends, a big celebratory MAY day with Brayden and his big bro meat tray Matty, Benny Whitehead and Tyler Snook. 5 goals to Ben Whitehead helped the cause.
If we were wondering why Kriegs was playing a full game of colts before the A’s we soon found out as the Sandford experience regurgitated Daniel ‘Boony’ Richardson, all to our benefit albeit a kick in the arse for young Kriegs. Another big mention in the makeup of the side is a chip off the old cock in Tyler, son of champ Jonsey. Big occasion to play senior footy with his old man, an experience celebrated by very few mere mortals.
Muchaco’s Magpies ledg Dunny recruited from the ground up by securing Killer Kilsby as runner with his encouragement of the young fellas invaluable. This blokes experience could be displayed with a sherrin in 2014.
Six shots to 2 in the first saw us only 4 points up before rolling into the second where we were a nervous 4 up still. The third quarter had the chip off the old block Tyler rack up a couple along with Pratty and Dallas. The last term had the nervous ones amongst us suffer as the roosters bagged the first before Boony and Jones junior jag the last 2 to see the Doo 5 points up and Freddy Smith remove the pins from his black and white voodoo doll.
Best were Banno, Jason, Rednut Case, Mitch spud Lowe, Boony, Junior Jones and Senior Jones Michael.
The seachange still had Pebbles looking for a bit of body heat as his team mates had a kick to kick prior to the game. Two Killa Kilsbys they both sing, not woofta friendly and a kick a footy! Little bit of byplay during the colts as the Doo runner attempts to take out the Robe gun in number 32 on loan from the Doo, good one Jack. Meanwhile back at the KC’s Brian Who was sighted near the golf course during the 3rd quarter of the seconds. Initial reports of him pushing a golf buggy proved incorrect as the nappy mobile came into view. All is forgiven Brian!
Old man Benny Who got lost on the Doo ring road at 3am and didn’t front. Luckily Doo seconds goal ump and Robe 1984 gun Gavin row your boat Rowe hitched a ride with the Blue Boy.
Two Bums Bott and son Nathan were going L for leather to Robe. The old Doo rally champ couldn’t complain as I reminded him of his inaugural Bott ute adventures in the phalaris last century.
Ace groundsman Jack always on the lookout for omens discovered a nag named Busy Doing Nothing immediately thinking of the Casey (elder) brothers he whacked a few quid on it and made a killing.
The Moth finds himself in Sandford today riding shotgun for Brooksy’s prized Mt McIntyre pigs in their final journey to entertain young Thornys 21st guests. Timmy Brennan was reported to be in piles of trouble in his trip to the seaside by the sea shore.
Johnny squadron leader Govan is back home on a bit of R & R. Missus Guv’s has dry cleaned his favourite ‘fur coat’ given the boy succumbs to the shivers. Deano has ordered extra red gum (stamped lightning free by Fig) for Bennys Hill to give him the tropical treat.
Old Stonehenge ace B grade runner is reportably losing a yard and considering a reassignment as waterboy after complaining of tiredness that is interfering with his standard drinks quota. Unaware of any madness or mayhem from our trippers but a facebook photo of the crouchmeister in a bath surrounded by netheads gives possibilities. Still at a loss on the game of ‘musical chairs’ before Benny ‘bounced’ the ball in the seniors with Robe forwards going back or was it backs going forward?
Saturday is our annual battle with the Burr for the H B Bott shield.

The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 6
Another lovely day at Footy Park sun shining cranking out 20 degrees as the local wasp population starts to go into hiatus but nor before Lubolas boy Ryder hunts a few of the mothers down after reporting dead dogs and people! Hopefully our illegal immigrant will be rack of with the approach of winter.
The junior colts had a tough game against a much stronger Tant side last week. The margin blew out somewhat but as usual our boys never give in and play the game right out. A couple of injuries when we are already short on numbers doesn’t help but the coaches can see plenty of upside in the improvement each week. Encouragement awards were S Farrugia, L McIntyre, S McManus, L Ousey, K Stephens & M Davies.
The senior colts had another good win. With an extended bench all players are being rotated giving everyone a break and as much game time as possible. Thanks again to the lads who played for the opposition. Better players were C Howlett, J Bayley, B Ousey, T Saunders, C Auld & L Farrugia
Cans Bees got rolled by 10 but anybody who racked off at half time would have been surprised by the final margin. The boys were pretty hyped up coming into the game against the third ranked hoorangers. The premature announcement of the too slow, too old, too sore coaches retirement by head coach Kylie of the ‘old blokes immediate future had the facebook community all abuz before the bloke in question knocked the rumour on the head.
It was all even stevens after the first quarter rah rah! Even the half time break gave the pies hope as our blokes were only 10 points down the gurgler. However in a game of 2 half’s the second stanza provided only 2 to the Doo while the Tigers were never endangered in piling on 10. Not for the first time this season has the Bees found themselves in a handy possy at the long break before going arse up, could be a message here fellas.
Our best was led by Matty ‘meat tray’ May in an interrupted season who showed his worth. The big fella was recruited in Bulljaws spa bath after the cricket granny celebrations wanting to play with his little bro Brayden who rolled in for fifth mention. Other major contributors on the day were Gribbsy, recruit Elliot Pegler, Magpie bees elder Timmy Brennan and still coach Can (go away Kylie!). Hollywood again helped out the cause with 3 goals before spending the rest of the arvo hobbling around.
Muchacho’s Magpie’s let the Tant heads get 4 goals in the last 10 minutes of the first quarter to be 5 down going into the second. The end result of 7 down was not a complete waste of a day. Gun player Brian Who was injured and on nappy duty in the second quarter. The pre match warm up proved too much for Stewie who pulled up and pulled out of the side to be replaced by bees recruit Scotty Turner who was keen for a bit more punishment. Ralphs healthy club Hahns went no where near covering his contribution with Tuna Tom reeling them in at the Bay it was great to see Stone Henge step up to run ‘telegrams’
Grandpa Pedro was on hand to see young Mitch kick arse in the seniors after a big day out in the colts. He was aided and abetted by Pebbles, Jonsey, Jack, Hatchy and Jason Benno. Dunny and Reece bagged 4 and big Dallas enjoyed his 3.
Figgo and Cathy moored at Beachport in time for the big game. The old bloke circumnavigated Kangaroo Island a few times waiting until the Spud game was dusted before sneaking ashore under dark. Possibly under cover of darkness to try and hide his prized coon hat that he got at the Alamo, a Davy Crocket racoon hat (or imitation rabbit), Feathers took a shine to it at the Hilton and it could be a fashion statement at the Nanga kindy when his grandcock Josh rocks up. The club patriarch also did a JHC when he floated in the Bahamas and saw some fish and shit! He has also tried to tune in canteen Can Tracy to put Mexican Beans, mince and hot chili’s on the training night menu, not!
Great to see old Pie Terry Mulraney on the hill looking after Slogger. The ex everything was pumped on Roger “Hitler’ Doodys 83 reunion at Footy Park on our home game versus Glencoe, also noticed Perc Mathys with a can watching old Canary teammate Hollywood in action.
Stoney and Wombat rocked up at Crouchy’s HQ with a slab of warm Carlton Dry from Darn Murphies. The host had to empty his freezer to crank up the cooling process. Stoney is also push up champ.
The Mehico night ended up with a tequila sunrise for a few of the more keen participants. Regular night fill at church Crackerjack reports that 6 bottles of worm free tequila were drained. Killa was loose, Cammo groaned at the throne before downing 2 litres of water, Chrissy said a few hail Mary’s over the porcelain and Matty threw back a couple of drop bears to get rid of the kick arse chillis.
The routine salt shot and lemon in the eye proved too much for most of the coodabeen Mexicans. Aiden no speeketa Mexican confused the issue declaring his bucken ears were not under his sombrero but his subereto! Fill in Bunning face painter Dallas ‘Cisco’ Jeffries drew a couple of beauties on the dials of Mulga Ryan and his Missus Tara.
Meanwhile back at the Hilton Chrissy 4 planes to catch Mules had a send off as the well wishes tried to warm themselves along side lightning tree wood, according to amateur arborist Figgo. Chrissy confirmed Jaws shattered gum tree could be used as evidence. Row row your boat Gav reckons Juliar should exempt the Hilton’s chimney smoke from the carbon crap. Old mate Gav was a bit knackered after helping to move Benny Who’s flock of 15 from 5 paddocks, luckily Philip pancho Mules with a lazy 3,000 odd was on hand to advise.
Sandy corner a tad under the weather after partners Coops diagnosis told the Mt McIntyre warbler Brooksy to shut the firk up. Mick Oeser standby security advised all present that ‘we don’t want any trouble here’! Chrissy got a bit of the Jake the Peg from Sandy.
Missus Who manned the bar at Church and using her excellent customer services got patrons on side by asking, WTF do you want? Blue boy Casey reads the Gonski report and is happy to declare Carlton doesn’t get a mention.

The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 5
Well the old enemy had a top arvo for their former players day despite the wind that tested the footballers patience and skills. No joy yet in the senior or reserves with the back nine not starting until after we front the Tant Tigers at Footy Park today. Regardless, the Spud Matthews Cup remains bolted to the purple mantelpiece for at least another 12 months.
Our visit to Glencoe saw a win and a loss for our junior teams last week. The junior colts had a good competitive match only falling short by a few goals. Once again we are improving every week and another win is just around the corner. We are a couple of players short each game so if you have any friends looking for a game of footy invite them along. Best named were S Mcmanus Fasta Pasta, K Stephens Subway, T McManus McDonalds, L Ousey Hungry Jacks, S Farrugia Video Ezy & L McIntyre Lions Club Ritchie Rich.
The senior colts had a soft win over a struggling Glencoe. It was good to see the opposition keep trying to the final bell making our boys work the whole game. Our younger players had a big impact on the game which we will need against the stronger teams. Well done to the boys who played a half each for Glencoe. Best players were T Jones Kriegers Cash, J Davies KFC Life Members, T Saunders Fasta Pasta, M Krieger KFC Thurs Night Tea, C Howlett Kentucky Fried Chicken & K Weistra KFC Ladies award.
Cans Bees were fronting a middle of the pack Murphy outfit who still had their advertising signs from the 2012 granny festooning the main Doo/Spud highway. Another poke in the eye was the Glencoe Aulddale empire ploughing up sacred Doo dirt north of the old Cranwell demarcation line. A similar occurrence in Korea would have seen that wingnut light the wick. The side suffered early, with music man Jarred being declared an A grader and a couple of blokes lost in space meaning the inclusion of a few ring ins to fill the gaps. Crafty coach Can also used his considerable pull at Moorabin getting St Kilda to allow a backload from their enzed Swanee game that saw Gribbsy and family rock up in OZ from his annual trip back ‘home’.
The old bloke must have taken a sherrin with him and ran a few hard yards in the shaky isles after announcing his home coming with a best player nod. Great stuff old cock.
With the odds stacked against them Cans Pies matched the spud heads in the first and outscored them in the third during which Camo Jorgensen went down for the count. The blokes ended up getting rolled by 6 goals. Coodabeens in Couchy, Langy and Stone Henge vacated the premises to avoid being kitted up, Coggsy was MIA. Besides Gribbsy others to get a mention were coach Can, Simon Gallasch, the last of the Tarps Canary / Kangaroo brigade in Hollywood Ilsley whose 4 great goals kept his team mates enthused and Mark Grosvenor.
The Maroons fresh as a daisy after their pre season cup triump and still having a wow of a time, not having run into the Demon or Eagle juggernaut were expected and did sort out Muchacho’s Magpies.
The degree of difficulty was lessened somewhat by the absence of a couple of regulars who may have put the brakes on.
A bad second quarter when the spuds booted 7 while keeping us goalless was the contributing factor in the final wash up.
Old tiger Dunn was still shitty on the Fremantle game and didn’t take the loss too well, nor should the players who wore the black and white. Even manager Troy was a tad pissed off about proceedings or a lack there of.
Pebbles took the mark of the day to boot one of his three goals and gain best player honours. Others to raise the bar were young Jack Casey, tough nut Chrissy Mules, Jags Pratt, old champ B.C. and colt Mitch son of a gun Lowe.
Noticed premiership Pie stewie Telford coming out of the closet massaging the magnetic spud board. I will have to dob him into Fig who should be back today to invite Mick (Carlos) Agnew to his slide show of happy snaps from the big trip.
Old wobble apologist Socksy was on deck all day giving his daughter the finer points of Aussie rules.
Micky D and champion in law Slogger helped out the Murphy hill profits before 58 Y.O Slogg turned to the tit taking a shine to his grandcocks bot bot.
While Sue was away big Rob had a day out at Spud land with C. R. Rob Dycer and friend. The intrepid trio were last seen ‘swinging’ on the Murphy Kirip Road entrance waiting for the Wattle Range deputy mayoress courtesy taxi, followed by a 3 course at the bluff.
With Och Aye Jock McManus buying 80 candles his young blokes Frosty and Bowser flew into the Doo International for the formal blow out. Sloth Opie advises old man Deano that yes we have arrived as the Power put 5 together to make sure the local nail bangers renew their AAMI corporate box, Blue boys Sam and KC senior are pumped after Micky Oesers foxy’s wild oats were found to produce 7 flea bags. Mick is yet to contest the maintenance issue that could come into the several carton category.
The House splashed the walls of a dwelling 6 mail boxes down the street, wind assisted last Saturday night. Moving ever closer to an interleague appearance after an effort like that! Deano, fill in goal ump’s failure to super glue his can to the goal post on a windy arvo results in a dry argument.
Hilton patrons were left gob smacked after one of the Moth of the year’s Benny Who’s trained caterpillars flapped into the pub on its maiden flight latching itself to the old spud graders cruit.
Johnny car computer problem Mules hitched a lift to the Mount airport with Chrissy after coming to a halt. Problem solved after ace mechnik Kriegs magic spanner tighten up battery terminals. Gav tight pants Rowe takes his Bees goal umpiring seriously. The old gut buster is off to Jenny Craig! Former pie Clintorus Collins bags a big one on the pokies enacting revenge on his 30 minute blow out at the Wrest Point Casino footy tripping a few years back.

The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 4
A beautiful day at the Doo last week with a sunny 20 degrees, keeping the water boys busy and Missus Who’s grade seven arithmetic coming in handy during the Eagles demolition of Muchacho’s Magpies. Jonseys colts look to be our shining light this year so it’s not all doom and gloom. Prior to the big game I had the joffa of Hatherleigh Fredrick Luckhurst Smith masquerading as a South East Times reporter telling me the Doo were going to get creamed by thirty goals. Naturally I put this down to too many home brand Mount Burr mushies, but bugger me dead if the old know it all champ wasn’t on the money. Luckily he racked off to annoy K.D. and saint Shane otherwise it would have been more painful.
Last weeks junior colts game against Hatherleigh was a well fought out contest with our boys going down by 5 goals. With the help of a few Hath players boosting our numbers the game was played in very good spirits by both teams. Each week sees improvement from the junior colts which is very pleasing for all involved. Encouragement awards went to Jake Lang, S McManus, Kobie McMurtrie, S Farrugia, T McManus & M Davies.
The senior colts game was close for the first qtr but then our boys broke away to have a winning margin by half time. Having 6 players on the bench made for a lot of rotations and it was great to see everyone take their turn having a rest and then make the most of their time on the field. Every player contributed to the win which is what it takes to be a good team. Better players named were M Lowe, T Jones, J Davies, R Carlson, P Davies & C Auld.
A reminder that subs are now overdue and need to be paid to Sue auld or your team manager along with the return of your medical/registration form.
Cans Bees fronted up to the top of the table Eagles and knew they were in for a tough day at the office. Which proved to be the case. The boys kept up their work rate throughout the game. The fastest posty in the South East Timbo Krieger was rewarded with a game for his honesty during the week after correctly answering forty five when Dunny asked how old he was. To compensate for all these candles Can whacked in a couple of colts. Talking to the Interleague coach Jeff Medhurst during the game he reckoned that he has his eye on the House. Fair comment too with the big fella in the best.
Gully was best and got bulk support from Mitch Lowe who hardly raised a sweat after two games in succession, coach Can mighty Matty May, the House and colt Camo Auld.
Muchacho’s Magpies had a fair crack in the first to make Fred’s prediction look crap. However the Eagle’s cranked their scoring rate up whacking on eight in the next two before piling on twelve in the last to bugger all from the Doo. Most civilised sides help a bloke out by declaring an unofficial mercy rule in the last but not this mob!
Old fella Dunny led from the front to lead the Pies best together with Banno, Chrissy ‘fingers’ Mules, B.C., Pebbles and Jags Pratt. Meanwhile back at Spud Park we can only hope.
Chrissy reports that Figgo has now arrived in F Troop country “wherethefwuckarewe” prior to this the champ visited the Grand Canyon, the Alamo and the OK Corral. You wouldn’t know he had been their though as the bloke is a tad shy in front of cameras.
Back home on the ranch young Christopher and Jonathon were elected guardians of the new kid on the 18 year old block Brad Auld, nice move? We can only hope after Chrissys effort giving new meaning to mobile phone and Johnny shadow boxing his way out of reputable Blue Lake City establishments.
Great day , apart from most results at the footy with the wasps failing to take out the patrons. Benny Bayonet Opie enjoying the Hill after giving Singapore customs the ‘flick’. Final score was Customs six green death Opie two. Mac the knife would have been proud. Former tripper Cracker Jack Lepley was all dressed up in his Peruvian T shirt.
The night crawlers were out last Saturday festooning the town in hand towels and schizenhauzen paper. The jury is out as to Bogans, wing nuts or complete dickheads.
KDoo Hilton regular Benny Fish and Chips Casey ordered a sardine but had the munchies for a Mulloway.
David Dexter Dowdell is raring to go on his expedition akin to the search for the holy grail apart from taking it with him, the B grade cricket shield is expected to climb Ayers Rock witness a ‘job’ on the four state corners and return safely to the Doo.
Congrats to our World Series bowlers skipper Pud Auld, Paul Martin, PD Davies and Andre wobble Carlson on their fours champions efforts that have seen them go from local and regional to now have a crack at the big time the other side of the tollgate.
The Couchmeister is going boonta again with his photos but fortunately found time to let the lovely Chandelin view the inner sanctum of our footy change rooms. She was only impressed and easily entertained!
Mattt Mad Dog Mays pooch Oscar has been busy carting his trampoline up and down the Doo rail line. Matty and compadre Chrissy have been kept busy flagellating each other with sticks and wasps. He who dares!
Lubolas boy Ryder looks a monty to be a Sydney Harbour Bridge painter after another change room roof inspection. Beckit would like to Collar and cuff both of them.
Brian Who’s boy first visit to the Doo rooms with nanna who ended in tears after the young bloke sighted all the carnage on the floor.

The Firken Magpie 2013 Round 3
One hundred and ten in the shade one week followed up the next week at Kongorong with overcast early drizzle ten degrees cooler definitely more suited to footy than the previous week which saw our lawn bowlers more heading off to play in the finals.
While our senior sides are still to sing the song this season it was more than pleasing to see the juniors crank it up, particularly our undermanned minis.
What a difference a week makes with both our junior sides having good wins last game. The junior colts took to the field with the help of a couple of Kong players and looking much the smaller side but played some very good team football to notch their first win for the year. A feature of the game was the work rate of our younger & smaller players. They were able to team together to keep pushing the ball forward into our scoring half. A great result and a big confidence booster. Best player were Nathan Reilly Fasta Pasta, Leigh Redford subway, Jake Lang McDonalds, Sam McManus KFC, Angus Tucker Video Ezy & Tim Davies K’Doo Lions Club Ritchie Rich award.
The senior colts also had a good win but had a hard contest with the Kong boys. We are slowly coming together on the field and as last weeks game wore on we are working better as a team. Well done to Lachie & Connor for playing for Kong and to all the boys willingness to have their turn on the side. With extra numbers at the moment the coaching staff will be trying to rotate players as much as possible. Best players T Jones Kriegers Kool Cash, J Davies KFC Life Members, C Howlett Fasta Pasta, B Ousey KFC Thurs Night Tea, Jordan Brennan Kentucky Fried Chicken & B Casey KFC Ladies Committee.
A reminder could all players return their medical forms & subs to any Junior manager or committee member. Tonight the junior teams and families are hosting club teas. Could all players and families that are available please stay behind for tea and lend a hand. The proceeds go towards our juniors.
Tin Cans Bees without the services of a few experienced campaigners that they were lucky enough to draw upon the previous week struggled against a Kongorong unit that even at this early stage look to be in the running for some finals action. Chrissy was back in the big time, Wombat flying out to earn a crust, and Gribbsy racking off to unzed for the school holidays.
Timmy Brennan and Hollywood got roped in for another kick of the sherrin. They could have been aided and abetted by former legends and windmill winders in Langy who helped out Snork with the juniors, Micky D pusher pusher and Clintorus amber fluid tester. Also noticed Matty Doody wandering aimlessly around with a bad case of itchy feet after rocking up on his tredley.
Cans boys kept a lid on proceedings in the first and last terms but allowed the Hawks to boot 14 of their 17 during the other two with firk all reply. Music man Jarred Kilsby kept his rhythm to be named best while other mentions went to Groves, Ben Whitehead, Dil and Gully.
Kongorongs win over the Burr indicated that they may be a hard nut to crack and this proved to be the case after a hard fought encounter that saw Muchacho’s Magpies leading the way after the first and third quarters unfortunately drop off the pace in the final run home to go down the gurgler by 21 points despite having the same number of scoring shots.
Stand out for the Doo was our angry young Tit puller Jags Pratt who is definitely worth more than $1 a litre at Coles or Woolies. His second efforts have complemented his usual bustling game. Others to the fore were Brad Auld, Pebbles, Banno, Big Stewie and Father Time Jonsey.
Swanee Opie got an goal umpires coat and flag for his 60th birthday and a centre spread in the Watch taking up his maiden match between the sticks. The old bloke showed more fortitude than his compadre Gilbo who went AWOL as Black Caviar entered the barrier for the big race. Luckily he had Kuhly on a retainer to act as fill in. Chrissys big day out with Matty in the Mount saw him back AN THAT with his tenner bringing back eleven smackers for a win an that! Trip home saw the boys chasing skippy and climbing pines near Tarps. He will embark on a semi pro pentaque career for Zema wines this week.
Apologies to B grade Woofa Scruffy who according to Missus Feathers bared his teeth after being called rusty in last weeks notes. On a sadder note P.D. wore an arm band for his trusty hound Rex who got on the wrong end of a Joe Blake. Former Pie Killer Kilsby is in love with Eddie everywhere after the Chief Wobble posed with the champ at Victoria Park, Eddie was chuffed.
Rear Admiral Boyd and family back in the Doo after doing a condensed Burke and Wills trip to suss out their intrepid daughter reports that long suffering Frau Heidi Hi was a tad nervous camping out after the sun set. Mind you the reborn Richmond wingnut could have chosen a better trip promo film than Wolf Creek. The old Pirate Thorny spent the week in the optometrists fine tuning his 20 20 vision for his annual red tailed Black Cockatoo count after failing to get the bag limit last year.
Fig had luckily been fitted with floaties prior to receiving a message in a bottle in the Bermuda Triangle from our NBN communications manager, the Crouchmeister advising of our bad day out at Kongorong. Mind you we weren’t going too bad until media man Fred Smith rocked up into the timekeepers box to put the hex on us. The boy was rapt when advised that the Doo will be hosting the interleague.
Benny Who, still to fill the red gum quota that he promised BC spent the day on his pat in Jaws back paddock. His old mate Gav having taken up B grade flag waving to fill his winter arvos in. Hilton bar chick Sandy dragged out her old Abba 45’s and whacked on Money money money after fluking a better than average pokies win.
KDOO BOGAN NIGHT tonight with Jarrad ‘Filthy Moe Kilsby. If anyone is energetic enough we have the Kdoo Remembers Anzac Dawn Service tomorrow.

The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 2
Not a great day on the turf at Footy Park for the Doo last week with all four grades yet to open their account.
With the flag at half mast and black arm bands to honour the memory of the Demons Steve Noble the Bay had a huge incentive to do well, with the minutes silence before each game as players of both clubs lined up including netballers and recognised the significance of the occasion.
It would not have been lost on those present that the late A grade captain of Port Mac had held the senior premiership shield aloft on this same ground only six short months previously.
To the Port Mac club and community the Kalangadoo Magpies offer you our sincere condolences.
A disappointing start to the season for our junior sides last week both going down to the Bay boys.
Our junior colts were out muscled by a much bigger side. Our boys are only a small side in stature and numbers this year but under the guidance of Darren and Sam will learn a lot and improve with each game. In an unfortunate incident Brandon McMurtrie sustained a broken bone in his leg. Our thoughts are with Brandon & family & hope everything heals well and quickly. Better players were S McManus, B McMurtrie, S Farrugia, K McMurtrie, K Marshal & L McIntyre.
After a good pre season and an influx of new recruits there was much expectation for the senior colt team. However we came up against a very good team in Pt Mac to go down by a few goals. A good learning experience and as Jones’y said after it shows what we need to do to be one of the best sides. I am sure after playing a couple of games together we will settle down as a team. Best players were Kriegs, Tyler Jones, M Lowe, R Carlson James Brennan & Brad Tiller.
Thankyou to our sponsors this year Fasta Pasta, Hungry Jacks, Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonalds, T & S Kriegers Rural Store, K,Doo Lions Club, KFC Ladies Committee & KFC Life Members.
Could all junior players please return the registration/medical forms ASAP and pay their subs by the due date 27 April.
Tin Can McCanns bees took on the reigning premiers and gave a good account of themselves before being overrun in the last quarter. Fitness would have been a factor in their capitulation, something they need to work on.
Macca welcomed his prize recruit Chrissy Mules for a guest appearance before the boy left the Park to attend a wedding.
Our man from the land of the long white cloud Gribbsy started his twilight career in the seconds by being named best player. Others to stand out were Pat Hatch, Demolition Dil Barlow, Will Little and new player Tyler Snook. The old hairy back Wombat Telf also added to his game tally.
Muchacho’s Magpies were under no illusions as to the immensity of the task in front of them and a big crowd were on hand to see the reigning premiers take control early. Although our boys were competitive the Bay boys used the ball a lot better kicking to position that saw them rack up a big score in hot trying conditions.
Good performances came from the young blokes with big Pratty starting to realise his huge potential not to mention his booming kicks. Pebbles would have been a worthy starter in the Stawell Gift as he used his lightning speed to good advantage. Brad Auld, Stewie McLaughlin, Sammy Blue Boy Casey and Aiden Auld also got mentions. One pleasing aspect was that we outscored the Demons in the last quarter.
Andy and I had the pleasure of Milos company in the box during the first half during which time we were brought up to date on anything football. The old radio head saw big Dallas score a couple of goals and reckoned he was nicknamed showman in his basket days. Ex Pioneer mate Chris Mason cramped up in the Bees requiring water ‘boy’ Crouchy to rush out the go go gear in red poweraid.
Three withdrawals from the Bees had flu ridden Kev Joyce dragged into action. Ryder and Rusty the dog put another feather in Janes hat helping her out in the reserves timekeeping job. The chip off the old cock had previous experience on the changeroom roof after a solo expedition during the family day (parachute not included).
Bees coach Tin Can McCann has threatened to keep growing his beard, could be handy if the changeroom toilet brush goes missing. Meanwhile the beared bugger parks his ute overnight at the South Aussie with KFC meal locked up, nice brekky.
Serial menace Dexter had Bulljaws dog Banjo go nuts over him. Banjo should give him a lend of his leash after he ate a millipede before performing a lobotomy on himself trying to drag Camo Jorgensen out of bed.
All the best to Micky Durbs Missus Sarah after breaking her leg in netball. Lame medico Luba reckons she enjoyed the magic whistle pain relief. Old man Slogger was on hand to baby sit young ‘Jarra’. Reports of Jack being a ‘bit crook’ after setting up base camp on Bennys Hill Saturday. This from a bloke who hardly raised a sweat hiking the Andes. Luckily local guide Bomber Hawke took him in tow. Former sausage King Kevin Butch Jones test run with his $7000 detector at St. Arnaud sees the old bloke place a boot nail in his trophy cabinet.
Big Blues / Wobble game had Luba, Roh and Ralph engrossed in proceedings. With 17 seconds to go Joffa Carlson struts the cat walk in his prized wobble suit (great to see the boy ooze confidence).
Former premiership Pie from the fifties Bruce Messenger passed away last week. Condolences to his family.
Next home game against Hatherleigh the proceeds from the gate wood raffle will go to a very worthy cause, this being the Kalangadoo Remembers ANZAC Day. Please support.
Also if you can, rock up at the Dawn service on Sunday 21st.

The Firkin Magpie 2013 Round 1
Welcome to the opening round of the 2013 season where we face the daunting task of taking on the reigning premiers who cracked the champers after their last visit to the Doo.
Leigh ‘Ralph’ McManus is embarking on his first year as the president and the non misogamist committee is lucky to have Susan Chadwick as secretary after 108 years of blokes. A swear jar at committee meetings did not materialise after failing to find a seconder.
Jason Muchacho Dunn again has control of the seniors and is looking to improve on a commendable effort last season.
Popular seconds coach Macca Tincan McCann is back for another crack vowing to hang in there until St Kilda wins a flag (could be a long haul).
League legend Mike Jones is looking to impart his vast footy knowledge on the Senior Colts who have high hopes of enjoying finals footy again. Our young minis will be under the Guidance of Darren Snorkel Ousey and Sam Casey.
A few happenings since our last notes of 2012.
September: The granny to be played at the Doo “my God do these idiots know what the hell they are doing” “fancy playing the premier event in that bog hole”.These and a lot of other unsavoury comments convinced countless people that the grand final should be moved from Footy Park, especially after old mate Huey rained on the parade in the week leading up to the big one. However come the day there were no problemos and none of the “mud” chucked at us stuck with ace groundsman Jack and his helpers having the Park in perfect condition. Naturally apologies flowed in from the knockers – not!
October: Our 1998. 1999 chairman of selectors buys the Doo mill making a few of us local yokels happy chappies. Swannee Opie still on cloud 9 after Sydneys AFL victory.
November: New publicans Ian and Julie rock up to take over the Kdoo Hilton. Welcome to the community.
December: The Doo mill goes arse over head just like our 98, 99 granny sides. Merry bloody Xmas. Crowbar prices up an air ticket for his Irish flame Alex’s
pet woofa Dora the explorer but cans the idea after realizing two and a half grand can buy a lot of Bundy. Meanwhile the sudden death of former Hilton Hotel guard dog the 119 year old foxy Beau and it’s last wish to be buried at the Doo saw Jenny and the Poo shooter raffle the contents of their freezer so they could transport the ex dog back home. Mission accomplished.
January: Figs boys back home to see Benny get hitched help out the old mans air conditioning problem that he had with one of the Mules fleet. A bit drastic but certainly solved the ventilation problem.
February: Unemployed Moth Benny Who starts preseason training putting in a big one in readiness for another big season. Ex Pie Waydey Bums Dowdell and Jo get a smoking ceremony to go with their wedding in the Grampians.
March: Mariska and Thommo walk the aisle as Hawky drags out his 1970’s flares. Jack a great fan of Indiana Jones takes Jenine over the Andes in search of buried Inca gold. Feathers given the responsibility of looking after Footy Park. Old Pirate Thorny gets the South East franchise for sea burials, undercutting the city slickers 45kms off of Beachport. Rear Admiral Boyd local concrete supplier to the South East Mafia wants him to use his product as Ballast instead of a length of railway iron. The Doo Bee cricketers clean up the spud heads in the granny. Bulljaw calls in the EPA after Dexta finishes celebrating in his spa. Some low life mongrels pinch my late fathers Jap sword and hand grenade ………HEROES!
April: Fig and Cathy head off on a yacht cruise in the Bermuda Triangle, looking for footballers? Should have tried the Green Triangle at Sandford. The club stalwart can swim like a brick so we have our fingers crossed. Social club whiz Cogsy organises his first show tonight with his engagement to Nicole.
Tracy is again head honcho of the ladies. Please step forward to support the fantastic job she does.
Welcome to the new head trainer Lisa Spicer and family who have also taken it upon themselves to do a paint job on the changeroom medical room.
All the best from the club to life time Pie Gerald ‘Cubby’ Rogers who is recuperating in Adelaide after a nasty accident.
On a sadder note the club has lost another of the older generation with the passing of Jean Chuck. Sincere sympathy to the family.
To all new players and supporters we hope you enjoy your time at the Doo.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Preliminary Final
What a magnificent result for our senior colts a fortnight ago winning through to todays preliminary final. The first semi was a low scoring game with a few mistakes made by both teams but fortunately we were able to settle better after half time and kick a couple of goals to give us a winning margin. We should be better for that game and go into today’s contest knowing now what finals are about. No individual best players were named but rather a team effort which is what it takes to win any final. It is quite a while since K’Doo had a senior colt side in finals and the club & supporters are proud of the boys no matter what happens from here. Listen to Coach Benny stay focused & disciplined & I am sure we can take it even further.
Our club has already had some success with Patrick Davies winning the U14 league medal & Brad Auld jointly winning the U17 league medal. It is the first time K’Doo has two winners in the same year & 21 & 27 years since we have had anyone win the respective grade trophys. Michael Kreiger & Jack Casey were others to poll well along with Reece Carlson who was runner up in the U17 league goal kicking & Sam McManus in the top half dozen goal kickers for the U14. A terrific result for our club and great reward for the boys efforts through the entire season.
We had our junior football/netball presentation day last Sunday winners were, for the Under 17’s Best and fairest: Brad Auld, Runner up: Michael Krieger, Most consistent: Mitchell Lowe, Best team man: Jack Casey, Goal Kicker: Reece Carlson, Most improved: Josh Ferrazola, Coaches trophy: Jacob Opie. For the Under 14’s Best and fairest: Patrick Davies, Runner Up: Sam McManus, Most consistent: Lachlan Farrugia, Best team man: Brock MacIntosh, Coaches trophy: Brandon McMurtrie, Most improved: Connor Jones. Congratulations to all the trophy winners and thankyou to the netball & football committees & parents for your help & support in making it a successful day. Crouchy has a few photo’s on the K’Doo web site to view, well worth a look as Crouchy does a mighty job. Good luck today for our senior colts & netball sides competing and hopefully we are writing about success this time next week.
Best of luck today at Kongorong to our senior colts and the netballers. Hopefully you will book a trip to Footy Park for the Granny. Well we hope it is at the Doo! The rumour mill has put an extra shift on to cover the B S being spread on the condition of Footy Park. Some of the surrounds may be good breeding ground for tadpoles but the playing surface should be no problemos. The rain that Huey has unloaded on us may have caused heartache in the past but unless it pearces down every day for the next week we should be hunky dory.
For those of you looking for a good park outside the oval next week check out the old Auspine Rural and Railway yards adjacent to Footy Park. All hard ground and bugger all of a walk to the big game.
Chrissy rocked up at the Hilton from the Big Banana in time for the second semi for a bit of rest and recreation. The boy came back for a good time and after a bit of a ‘yawn’ and a kip at the Hilton he turned his attention to the Mount where he drew the ire of his cuz poo shooter after whacking on the brylcream. The champ even sported a pair of clod hoppers and at the stage of writing credit cards and mobile phone were still on his person.
Sandy had a testy evening out at the Hilton a couple of weeks back. The responsible one was on the verge of heading for her trusty donger before international shearer and drop bear crutcher Crowbar used his vast experience with triple A merinos to send the BAAA steds out the chute.
Nothing concrete here but the sign in Aunty Kerry’s shop says it all. Rear Admiral Boyd, former top scratcher at scrotum has lost his nuts and the wheel they were supposed to be holding on Pumpkin Burns ute. The Richmond wingnut was towing three tonne of global warming wood at the time.
Anybody with a bit of spare time in the coming week is welcome to rock up and help with finishing touches to get the old joint up and running in readiness for the big one. The working bee a couple of weeks back was fantastic with the new hill toilets getting plumbed and wired.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 18
Apart from the senior colts fulfilling their ambition to have a crack at finals footy there was no joy to be had in our visit through the swamps to the Burr. You hear stories of the rigours of travel in the horse and cart days in the quest to play footy. Just as well the road is built up or we would be in the same boat.
Our minis had the unenviable task of taking on the undefeated Mount Burr in their final appearance for the season.
The young blokes missed the services of Patrick Davies and battled hard for the four quarters. A highlight was the goal to young Macca son of a gun of Fabulous Phil McIntyre a former club champion.
Best were Lachlan Farrugia, Sam McManus, Brock McIntosh, Tye McManus, Sam Farrugia and Liam Ousey.
The senior colts also faced the prospect of playing their final game as a win to the Eagles over the Demons wasn’t what they wanted. So they were under pressure to win. The boys did themselves proud by achieving this and playing off today at Nangas.
Lets hope those of you reading this on the Crouch web make the effort to be there today to support these young blokes who are the future of the club. Chances like this don’t come along very often in our neck of the woods so make the most of it. Those to shine were Kyle Hogan with 5 goals. Best named were Jakob Opie, Brad Auld, Michael Krieger, Mitch Lowe, Braiden Ousey and Reece Carlson.
The junior windup is at Footy Park on Fathers day Sunday 2nd Sept with a lunch at 12. The main act follows at 1pm.
The Harry Bott shield remains bolted to the Burr trophy room wall. Two Bums rocked up to the game with his tool kit but needn’t have bothered. I reckon forget the rest, the Burr is best. The display they put on looked capable of taking them to four in a row. We didn’t produce the same endeavour that was shown against the spuds. Injuries did not help our cause but we weren’t in the hunt.
The Doo supporters helped farewell the Can Hill complex in the best way possible chomping on Junior Nuts steaks and washed down with Hendo’s coldies. Mount McIntyre pyro technic expert and rabbit warren destroyer Squeaky Brooks has offered his services to bring it down, with old mate Nu Nu volunteering to light the fuse. Stand well back!
Cans Bees finished their 2012 campaign wondering why they could not display the same form week in week out, that was on show at the Burr. A couple of key final game ‘recruits’ in Perc who knows how to kick a footy and gun basketballer, slam dunk expert Mark Suttsy Sutton who looked the part, getting cheered on by a few of his basket head team mates from the Mozzie camp.
Straight shooting on our part had the boys in a winning position at the last break when we trailed by a measly seven points. Coach Can asked his charges to give it their all for the final twenty minutes of their season. The Burr however had different ideas coming out strongly to snuff out any ambitions we had before our blokes finished strongly to eventually go down by 23 points. Best for the Doo were our music man Jarred, Hollywood (dead eyed dick), Dil Barlow, coach Can and C Gull.
Ace goal ump (blues are back) Casey and the Bees rounded off the year in the changerooms with a long neck (Carlton of course) or two.
Old timer, coach Muchacho was out injured and had to watch his Magpies get hammered from the sidelines. It didn’t really matter where you watched it from, the results was the same, with no chance to redeem ourselves the following week. Keeping track of the Doo goalkickers was piss easy whereas the Mozzies had an over abundance of scoring options. Hopefully the summer will see a few missing links return to help the quality kids that we have playing for the black and white. Best of the bunch were club champ B.C., Walks, Sam Casey, Tom Banno, Lead Foot and Jason Banno. Old man Colin Banno rounded out the family contribution with a polished display between the big sticks.
Training on Thursday was a bit of a hoot with the boys dressing up (or down) for the occasion. Young Coggsy cleaned up on the tickets machine and left the front bar ankle deep in tickets before experiencing something different, using a broom to clean the mess up. Case took the meat tray home to feed his starving boys courtesy of a vegetarian biscuit.
You find some Stones that are millions of years old but young Daniel got a surprise 40th. The birthday boy had to suck it up a bit after celebrating the mile Stone the day before. Jack and Jenine went to Bowser’s in Melbourne the week before, blowing the candles out on a train trip. A bucket was supplied for the brews. Jenine found another use for the bucket, dear Henry. Motion sickness is a real bugger! Cabin boy Matty May lit up 26 candles but most of the town appears to have survived. Bomber Hawk rocked up to church Sunday, back from the funeral at the G after Essendon were buried by the Bluebaggers. The old bloke left early after the rowdy Carlton supporters got too much for him. But not before taking a specy on the second tier behind the goals, after the match ball got launched in his direction. Rocket Rod, at the Doo Sunday for a bowls club working bee had to call on the services of local moth impersonator Benny Who after his taxi became the latest victim of Julia’s climate crap, getting bogged in the car park.
Meanwhile back at the KDOO HILTON Tumbarumba was legless after his twenty hour dancethon came to a close. The champion spud sexer / sorter started jiving away accompanied by his expensive air guitar immediately following the final siren of the Collingwood, Roo game. Local wobble Squeaky drew the short straw to hand over the booty of two long necks. What a prize, shows you how confident he was!
Tracy O our female moth helped shut Shadows at 4.30. No joy at home though after young Kaitlyn locked her out. Local security firm were very happy with the call out fee.
Missus Who was nearly going to demolish Can Hill by herself as the Burr Horatio Hornblower Hooted himself to within an inch of his life. The bloke would have had a painful operation to have it removed.
Rear Admiral Boyd busily working his way from A to Z on the list of careers got a bit itchy at Scrotum and is now in the Concrete business. Could be in strife given his runny eggs even end up hard boiled.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 17
Thanks to the Crouchmeister for doing the notes last week.
A good day out at the park for our junior teams last week against Glencoe with both teams winning. The junior colts started slowly being behind at the first change but after a spirited talk by the coach the boys came out firing kicking 7 goals to 1 over the next three quarters to secure a nice win at the end of the season. Great to see a full team effort which is what makes everyone proud no matter what the result. Better players named P Davies Fasta Pasta, B McIntosh Subway, C Jones McDonalds, L Ousey Hungry Jacks, C Dunn Video Ezy & L McIntyre Lions Club Ritchie Rich.
The senior colts needed to keep winning and were able to do that but couldn’t improve their percentage to move up the ladder. We need a committed effort this week to make sure of our position and see finals action for only the fourth time in some 4 to 5 decades. Best payers last game B Auld, B Ousey, R Carlson (5 goals), J Opie (4 goals), Jordan Brennan & M Krieger.
As this will be our last game for junior colts please make sure your jumper & protective headwear is returned to the club post game.
Please be advised that the Junior Netball & Football presentation day will be held on Sunday 2nd Sept. commencing 12 noon for a BBQ lunch $5 per family $2 single please bring a salad to share. Presentations to commence at 1pm.
Last Saturday saw us host the Glencoe heads in the last home game at Footy Park for 2012. Now all we need is for fine weather to prevail and harden the surface up so it will be all tickety boo for the granny on 15th September.
Ace groundsman Crackerjack had to pinch his mother in laws ride on to run over a soft spot Saturday morning, luckily his diet and the tare weight of the ride on saw him through.
The minutes silence prior to the seniors in honour of staunch club man Llew Davies was observed by both sides, seconds and seniors. Much appreciated gesture especially with traditional rival Glencoe happening to be our opponents on the day. Llew himself would have been heartened by our boys efforts.
Cans Bees had to front up to a Murphy outfit looking to play in the second semi. Thirty three percent separated the sides but the scoreboard didn’t indicate that with the Pies a long way from getting whopped and making the Spuds earn every kick, and matched it with their more fancied opposition in the final quarter before going in to enjoy a well deserved healthy club beer. Old champ Hollywood gave his teammates something with four handy goals, best players were led by little baker Chris. The blonde bombshell from the watch social pages C Gull, Coops, Kevvy Joyce, Westy and Dill Barlow
Muchacho’s Magpies, still missing a few with injury and possible concerns after the hard fought Hatherleigh game went within a whisker of sorting out the spuds.
A freeby to the spuds on the siren of the first saw us a couple down. We kept shooting straight to have six on the board at the long break and twenty five points in arrears.
Whatever was in the half time oranges worked when a very determined Magpie machine came out. Glencoe got the first two goals and things looked a tad grim before Gribbsy lit the fuse that saw the Doo cheer squad regain control of Benny’s Hill as our battlers piled on the last 7 goals to zip to find themselves an unlikely 3 point leader at the last break.
Losing Dunny didn’t help our cause and the Murphies managed to claw themselves back from the brink to save their bacon and spuds by eight lucky points. Doods got the half sheep award from Fig with five goals. Gribbsy and Dunny found three each.
Benny Walks got the ‘best player’ award (lasted all of three minutes) the rest of the best were a group of kids that bodes well for our future in Brad Auld, Viney, Pebbles and our Tom Toms namely Banno and Leadfoot who also won the gate wood raffle for his mum.
We gained the services of killer Kilsby who used his RDO from North Gambier to good effect as runner, standby scoreboard attendant (making sure the scores showed us in front at three quarter time). When he wasn’t busy he kept control of his fleabags, Buckley and Apple who even popped into the club for a gooner or three. Figs Konticki tour must have refreshed the old worry wart as he even availed himself of the half time hospitality with the dreaded enemy. Creeky was standing back a bit not wanting to upset Fig. Our 1972 B grade premiership hero now finds himself in a sticky situation with his young bloke suiting up in the purple gear. Tumbarumba has arrived back in town mobiling in for a feed of hot Hilton chips Sunday night. The North Melbourne groupie could have shared them with the old pirate Thorny who sailed into the Port of Portland for an appointment with the Tooth Fairy (it was either that or a second hand set on Ebay).
A few of the boys went to Melbourne to have a look at Bowsers 40th cake. Hunchy got a call at 3.40am Sunday from Mister B jaw to let him know that his bottle of whisky was being emptied.
No cake, but plenty of cheer Sunday at Church as Bruce power failure Redford celebrated the big five Oh. The birthday boy got a length of hose for a present, just in case he adds unleaded to his diesel tank again in future. A phone call to the Moth got the boy back to the Doo.
Squeaky Brooks has declared a fatwa on the local Roo population after having a close encounter of the third kind.
Braedy Morcs old man left his purple Warracknabeal suit home, luckily remembering the consequences of the corresponding game in 2011.
Bomber Hawk is planting land mines along the road side verge out the front of his place to deter illegal parking.
Big Tank is on the look out for a Malvern Star and a new set of clod hoppers.
Tracy will have the Granny Rosters out shortly. All help greatly appreciated. Black and White ball on Saturday 22nd September. See Tracy O, Helen Carlson or your coach for tickets.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 16
Last weeks junior games saw some mixed emotions. Our junior colts once again came up against a much bigger opposition but to their credit took it up to Hatherleigh for the first half until the bigger boys took over. Great to see some new players coming out for a few games even at this stage of the season. Hopefully the boys enjoy the experience and can become permanent players next year. Best players were P Davies Subway, L Farrugia Fasta Pasta, S McManus McDonalds, S Farrugia Hungry Jacks, T McManus Video Ezy & M Davies K’Doo Lions Ritchie Rich award. A special mention also to Luke McIntyre on kicking his first goal for us.
The senior colts were playing for finals survival as were Hatherleigh and both teams played out a very competitive & finals type game. It was a real credit to players from both sides. Fortunately we had our noses in front by the narrowest of margins, 1 point, at the final siren. All involved were very proud of the fighting spirit shown, none more so than the scribe himself. Remember not to get ahead of ourselves as we still have 2 more games that are just as important. Best players named in a great team contribution were J Davies Kriegers Kool Cash, J Opie KFC Life Members, B Auld Thurs Night Tea, M Lowe Ladies Committee & James & Jordan Brennan Fasta Pasta.
The trip to Hatherleigh last week seen Maccas bees come out pumped out with lots of outs but some massive ins! The biggest ‘in’ was Millicent taxi guru, runner/ goal umpire and now gun forward Rocket! He even registered some champion data stats and informed me that he had a combined age of over 100 on one bloke he was playing on. Stag again pulled on the boots to help the cause and even had a father-son passage of play with his young bloke Mitch! Troy Wilko took up the time keepers watch as Jane got promoted to the A’s and well done to Mitch Devlin who played his first game for the club. Crouchy, complete with steel caps did the runners gig and nearly got Ko’ed by Dil as he tried to help him from the ground. Plenty of entertainment all round.
The boys were right in there in the first but started to run out of steam as the quarters progressed, Hatherleigh ran out confortable winners. The best of the bunch were skipper Killer, Gully, Joycey, evergreen veteran Stag, Millhouse and Cogsy.
Muchacho’s Magpies had their injury woes but plenty of ‘ins’ stepped up, including young Jacob Opie for his A Grade debut and James Thomas recalled for another senior game. The boys were on a mission and shook the Eagles up early. It wasn’t long however before Jonesy went down with injury, along with Jason Bannister and Tom Lepley leaving no one on the bench. Even BC was functioning on one leg. This did not stop the heart and endeavour shown by Dunnys young squad as they piled on 6 goals in the third to lead at the last change by 3 goals. Hatherleigh thou had other ideas and eventually went on to win by 4 goals. Best of the magpies were Ben Walker, Jonesy, Andrew Stone, Tom Bannister, Willy and young Krieger. Today is our last home game for the season and don’t forget the Dress up 70s and 80s night at the club tonight.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 15
Our junior teams didn’t get the results we were looking for last week against Robe. The junior colts were beaten by just 4 points after leading with minutes to go. A bit disappointing for the players but they all played a very good team game. Best named were P Davies, L Farrugia, C Jones, M Davies, B McMurtrie & Jorden Ziakas. The senior colts needed a win to consolidate a top four spot but were no match for a full strength Robe team. We are down on numbers, with a couple of injuries, and will have to play some of our best football in the coming weeks to grab a finals berth. Best players were M Krieger, N Bott, B Casey, Jordan Brennan, J Opie & B Auld.
A big thankyou to everyone who helped with our junior raffle over the last couple of weeks especially Teena & Simon for organizing the prizes. The lucky winners were David White (wheelbarrow & goods), Aaron Ilsley (trailer of firewood), Peter Featherstonaugh (Mrs Govans world famous cake) & Llew Davies(bottles of wine).
Last week we hosted the Robe Roosters. Honours were even on the day although the outcomes in the seniors and reserves had a few people on the nervy side during the week.
Luckily Two Bums Bott was manning the gate when the spoon salesman rocked up to sell his wares. Being the helpful bloke that he is he gave the old fella a map on how to get to Briggsy’s joint. Whether he was still waiting for the Rooster coach later that evening is unknown. One thing is for sure, he won’t be back at the Doo in 2012.
Great to see Crouchy back at Footy Park after all the trials and tribulations of the previous week. You were amongst friends lets hope that you bounce back to the bubbly bloke we know so well.
The oval continues to hold up well despite all the rain. There is only the Glencoe game next week to host before we see granny at Footy Park on the 15th September. Not on the scale of the Pommy Olympics but still an occasion that will require a lot of work. Things are progressing smoothly so that we will see the toilet block in situ on Bennys Hill. Rumour has it that there will be a raffle to see who has the first official slash.
Anyhow while the spoon bloke was on his way to the Doo Cans bumble bees surprised all and sundry (and probably themselves) to take the cock a doodle doo out of the Roosters.
A very pleasing win considering their round 6 capitulation when we travelled to Robe. The boys broke out of the blocks booting an unheard of eight goals to one, adding to their score while holding Robe to the single goal until the final term.
C Gull continued his stellar form to lead the best players. Others to get in print were the House, Jayden Rogers back from the big time, Rowdy, James Thomo and Joffas love child Socksy. Milly led the charge with four goals, among eight other.
The Bees were buzzing as they sang the song but not enough to drown out the siren announcing Muchacho’s Magpies quest to emulate them. A couple of changes from the previous week were the inclusion of Doods and Leadfoot from injury and Mitchell Lowe in his first senior outing. Things were going along nicely until Robe rounded out the opening term with three goals in the final five minutes to go five points up. However the second quarter was a beauty while Two Bums was busy pissing the spoon dude off Dunny’s desperados booted eleven goals to one solitary point, to have the fat lady singing at half time. The boys maintained their edge to end up 13 goals victors. Doods welcomed himself back with five big ones.
Old mate Jonsey showed that he still has it with best player honour together with Big Stewie, Walks, Koops, Jason Banno and Aiden Auld.
A well deserved win to Dunny and his charges with both sides having their injury problems. Our two water boys were well credentialed; the injured Jags and Jack looked most impressive.
Poo Shooter didn’t make it to the big game in time. The fly in fly out boy was fogged in north of Ceduna, before the plane ran out of juice and he ran out of patience. Cousin Chrissy due to fly in for a game from Brissy opted instead to head to the Townsville Cup with bro Johnny and Clintorus. Great weekend apparently, Clint lost his bank balance and Chrissy lost Johnny. Meanwhile, old man Fig and tour guide Cathy are taking the extra long route home from Bali, via Jabiru and wherever else the dart lands on. His blood pressure should be back to normal by the time he rocks up. Squeaky Brooks is under pressure as well after missing a beat at the Hilton. Doctor ‘Who’ told him to take a couple of panadol and go to bed.
Also at the Hilton a dry Bruce Power failure Redford ‘did a pizza’ when he dialled an unamused bar chick Sarah for a gooner. The bloke needed it like a hole through the head and nearly scored both.
Thorny getting ready for his gold medal performance as pirate for the hobby farmers whaling expedition is taking the role playing seriously after losing his teeth. He doesn’t have a problem with an enforced ice cream / banana / drop bear juice diet. Matty May has received his induction as cabin boy / bouncer. He also got a few handy tips on plunging from Squeaky. Another old salt and Richmond Tiger supporter in Rear Admiral Boyd RTD is a bit cranky after getting the wrong tooth pulled. Long suffering wife Heidi Hi won’t touch him with a long stick at the moment.
Leadfoots blue streak was a no goer after running out of the go go gear at the newly designated Doo end of Kangaroo Flat Road. The doof doof broadcaster is also an admirer of the pommy comedy show ‘Mrs Guvs boys’ or as he meant to say Mrs Browns boys. Meanwhile back in the Mount at the going down of the sun and in the morning ex Pie Mad Munday got marched out of the RSL.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 14
Not a great week in Magpie Land last week with the unfortunate passing of three people who had been, or were involved in the club.
Jill Rigg, mother of club champion from the eighties Charlie and Doug Jones eldest son of Butch both succumbed after battling long term illness. The club extends their deepest sympathy to both families.
The big shock however was the sudden loss of Penny Crouch. Penny had become part of the footy and netball clubs after being ‘recruited’ by and marrying our mobile PR and website master Andrew, known to all and sundry as Crouchy. Our efferecent one will no doubt be able to take heart from all the facebook tributes that flowed after he posted the news. These sincere words from so many people show the high regard in which these two were held. Words only don’t heal Crouchy, but be comforted to know that your extended Magpie family feel for, and are there for you.
A much improved performance in last week’s games for our junior teams. Whilst not winning against Tant the junior colts played extremely well to go down by only a couple of goals against a top four side. Tant got the jump in the first quarter in what proved to be the difference in the game. We were able to match it with the opposition over the last three quarters but couldn’t bridge the gap. We may not be getting the winning results but we are certainly improving week by week. Best players were P Davies Subway, T McManus Fasta Pasta, L Farrugia McDonalds, M Davies Hungry Jacks, C Jones Video Ezy & L Redford K’Doo Lions Ritchie Rich award. The senior colts got back on the winners list with a good win over Tant. After a slow start we got going in the second term to kick away. With a couple of injuries & sickness it was a good effort to play as well as we did. We still have to remember to be switched on from the first bounce each game as we won’t get away with it against the top sides. Well done to Sam & Pat for stepping up from the juniors to fill the side. Best players M Krieger Kriegers Kool Cash, B Auld KFC Life Members, R Carlson ( 6 goals ) KFC Ladies award, S McManus Fasta Pasta, P Davies Thurs Night Tea & J Casey busted knuckle award.
A reminder that today we will be drawing the Xmas in July junior raffle. Our junior players & committee will be selling tickets both at the gate & around the ground so please dig deep & buy a ticket to support our juniors.
Last week we travelled to Tant to suss out Mick Agnew’s Tigers. Cans Bees had bragging rights in the first round but they were unable to repeat the effort after a horror run with injury seeing the seniors poaching a few of the boys for the greater cause.
Can had one spot of good news when our injured unzed man Gribbsy put off his reported retirement plans and whacked on a jumper. The old bloke showed a bit too much form though and got dragged at half time to plug another hole in Muchacho’s ailing Magpie machine. He nearly had to be dragged when his family Sunday drive grounded to a halt after running out of juice, Tracy O answered the callout on Bay road to get him going.
The boys had a fair dip and poor old Crouchy would have been proud of them, as they were only a couple down at the half and four going into the last.
Our blonde bombshell Gully led the pack of best players and received plenty of support from coach Can, music man Jarred, Groves, Kochy and old mate Joycey.
There were a couple of handy footballers around the place during the seniors. Unfortunately Micky Durbs and Timmy Ellis were not on the team sheet. The way Durbs was pushing Sloggers grandson around looked like he may have preferred to be in the 21.
Big Jack Casey was a late withdrawal after suffering a hand injury in the colts to let Gribbsy in and big Cogsy, Jayden Rogers was a monty to come in to replace Leadfoot who was still a tad giddy from a bit too much pre match ‘circle work’. Mind you this was on top of Jags having an RDO with tennis elbow that allowed Camo Jorgensen in for his first game.
Dunny’s desperados were a long way from getting flogged with the patched up Pies not rolling over for second placed Tant. The biggest cheer of the day was reserved for Cogsy when the boy drilled his maiden senior goal. The Tant blokes must have been wondering what the occasion was when he was chaired (bloody heavy one) off the ground. Jonsey kicked arse to be our best. Others to get a mention were Tom Bannister, BC, Walks, Pebbles and Stewie.
Junior nailbanger from Opie constructions Leadfoot Lepley has started up a ploughing business, front and back yards a speciality. It may be ‘unrelated’ but a couple of rabbits have been digging up Benny’s Hill and surrounds. Not a good look, dickheads, with the Doo hosting the granny this year. Benny Who didn’t get to Tant to watch his boy play. Continuing his love affair with the local red gums and helping his cousin squeaky Brookes get off of the wagon instead. A bad case of Colliwobbles also had him keeping a low profile. Tumbarumba, out of control with another win by North Melbourne will be absent from Footy Park this weekend. He will be too busy in Colac greasing up the pole for the Colac pole dancing championships. Leadfoots understudy Herby Jones technicolour yawn at the house of horrors had the required percentage of carrots.
The reserved place card for Col Carlsons 85th bash at the Commersch read Carlton instead Carlson. The Collingwood supporting family were not amused. Another wobble bloke, superdry saleman Ralph is still haunted by the Roos after sorting one out on the Princess Highway. Meanwhile back at Footy Park Pratty had a fox on the run at Thursday night training. The champion tit puller reckons he will fly to Dergholm for a pizza with his Heli Farm goods & services buy.
Don’t forget Jarred Kilsby will be entertaining you at the club tonight. If you wake up tomorrow we have the car trial (a lot of the local hoorangers have been training hard for this). Following the trial the annual Iron Gut comp is on Benny’s Hill.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 13
It was a disappointing day for the junior teams last week against Port Mac. The junior colts weren’t expected to win against the second placed team but didn’t manage to bother the scorers either. Keep your heads up though as we have a very young and small side at the moment who are maturing with each game. It was pleasing to see a couple of new players come out for a game even at this stage of the season which is great for the future of the club. Better players were P Davies, L Farrugia, T McManus, J Ziakas & Leigh Redford & Luke McIntyre in their first games.
The senior colts were playing to consolidate a top two spot and Pt Mac to keep their season alive. It seems it was more important for the opposition than us as we were run over in the last quarter in an at times lacklustre effort. Benny Jags & the players know they are better than that and have to put their best playing foot forward in the remaining games to keep the double chance a possibility. Best players were J Davies, B Auld, M Krieger, J Opie, R Carlson & Nathan Bott.
Congratulation to Braiden Ousey who spent the previous week In Adelaide playing in the State U15 championships. It is a huge effort to be selected from the entire South East to represent our zone, league & club at this elite level, well done Braiden.
The K’Doo junior players and committee are currently selling tickets for our major fundraiser this year, our Xmas in July raffle. Please support our juniors and purchase some tickets, there are multiple prizes to be won. Raffle to be drawn following the Robe home game. We will also be having a sausage sizzle for the Auskick, U 11’s & junior colts Thurs night 26 July preceding the Robe match to recognise our Auskickers & finalise their season.
A dirty day at the Doo last week when we hosted the Bay boys. No joy to be found for the scoreboard gazers with Port Mac making the most of their visit and going home with a clean sweep
Being the perfect hosts that we are, we even made the Demons feel at home in the first half of the day by fiddling with Julia’s climate change controls and coming up with cold wet and windy conditions. Things improved in the arvo but not enough to help our pain go away. As an aside I noticed that the Doo came in at number 8 in the top 10 most vulnerable to climate crap according to Tuesday’s Advertiser (providing we don’t all drown first).
Anyhow Footy Park coped pretty well. Although you may have got your tootsies wet heading out between the trainers boxes. There was also a chance for the kids to do a bit of tadpoling (do they still do this?) in a few car park spots.
Cans Bees could not repeat their first round winning effort with the Demons now well and truly entrenched in the four.
The boys got blown away in the first quarter and were never in the hunt as the Bay increased their lead in the remaining three to have the Pies cooked by 15 big ones.
Coach Can battled manfully against the odds to get the nod as our best and got strong support from Kochy, Jarred Kilsby, Big Camo, Dil and C Gull.
Muchacho”s Magpies took on the might of the ladder leaders and managed to get 102 points closer than their round 4 encounter. Things looked pretty crook early with 3 big outs in Doods, Timmy Brennan and young gun crackerjack Casey on the wrong side of the fence. All a bit sad really.
We started out OK getting the first 2 goals before the Demons pulled their fingers out to get the next 6. It was finger licking good for the Port Mac supporters after that but no avalanche of goals to embarrass the Doo boys who played their guts out to make a contest of it.
Jonsey came up with the goods again to be our best player while Benny Walks, Tommy Bannister, Big Stewie, Jags Pratt and young Reece Carlson (3 goals) also shone out.
Amazing what a week will do in the world of footy. Tickets were in short supply for a ride on the Carlton bandwagon, before they ran into a mob of Kangaroos. Tumbarumba was pumped by the results and made sure everyone knew he was in the winner’s circle. Rear Admiral Boyd was ready to spend up big at the $2 shop on paint to rearrange the wording on his Ann Street fence sign that Blue boy Case kindly got for him. This was all before his beloved Richmond got rolled by a bloke who until recently made a quid playing rugby. His blather has now been downgraded to ‘We are 3% better than Carlton!
Case has stepped up to the big time answering an SOS for B Grade umpiring. The boy took it seriously taking 2 days off work belting the pisser out of the acme thunderer pea while running backwards. All worked to his advantage as he only got abused once which cost the guilty one 25 metres (the old bloke was too buggered to run the other 25).
The Old Pirate, still in shock with the realisation that the SS Thorn will be taking a mob of Glencoe Hobby farmers whale watching has signed on Matty May as cabin boy / crowd controller. He has also bought a plank 10 x 2 x 10 foot long just in case. On writing there is no sign of his trailer this side of AuldDale either. Gozzy must have thought it went with the premium Kdoo redgum
The Doo’s version of a hobby farmer Benny Baa Baa Black Sheep has been playing musical chairs with his free range flock trying to keep their feet dry. No Baaarking good mate.
Mike Mayhem Mules was listing a bit to ‘Port’ on Benny’s Hill. The boy was all warm and glowy after getting too close to Pud and Troy’s carbon furnace.
Old Bomber up up and away Hawke was sporting the latest hand bandage. As to what caused the injury? the Hilton’s doctor Sandy reckons she is on the money. The surprise of the week was Fig sneaking out the back door and going to Bali. The good news is that the club barometer has left his boogie board behind and taken Cathy. I don’t know how the old bloke will handle Bin Tang beer, definitely an acquired taste.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 12
One win and one loss from our junior games against Nangwarry last week. The junior colts came up short in their match but improved the margin since the first round by about 10 goals. We had a slow start after the bye which probably cost us in the end. Better players named were S McManus P Davies, C Jones, L Farrugia, B McMurtrie & Jorden Ziakas K’doo Lions Club Ritchie Rich award.
The senior colts managed to have a game after splitting the 28 players both teams had between them. In a very open game we had a comfortable win without over extending ourselves. Well done to the junior colts from both clubs for stepping up to make a game and to the boys who played for the opposition. Best players were J Davies, M Krieger, J Opie, J Brennan, J Ferrazzola & Sam McManus. Thanks to our junior sponsors T & S Krieger, Fasta Pasta, Subway, McDonalds, Hungry Jacks, Video Ezy, KFC Life Members, KFC Ladies Committee, Kentucky Fried Chicken & K’Doo Lion Club. A big game this week especially for the senior colts.
Our day out at the desert last week was a bit of a non-event. Fine conditions prevailed but unfortunately so did the saints.
A bloke didn’t need to be Nostra Firkin Damus to predict that Nangas would have a red hot go to add another win to their tally. What the old bloke wouldn’t have foreseen though was a whopping 145 point turnaround from our round 3 clash.
Cans Bees were in the unusual situation of having 3 blokes too many to prevail upon to tackle the Saints.
The Bees brains trust felt it was best to rest stalwart Socksy who was still some what dazed and shell shocked after Joffas boys went into free fall. Not that anybody was picking on the lad or anything ‘much’! All the Blue Baggers in town spent the morning searching rubbish bins for their turfed out Carlton memorabilia which was suddenly back in vogue. No wonder Socksy had a bad case of the wobbles. Even the Moth was cocooned early.
Young big fella Camo took the blue theme a bit too far and stood out with his blue rinse until coming off injured.
There were Blues of the other kind too popping up all over the ground and a few were surprised the umps didn’t flash any cards.
Cans boys clawed their way to an eleven point lead at the half but not much happened on our behalf after that, as Nangas whacked through five to our one to run away 19 point winners.
Best for a disappointing Doo were Ryan Fisher, Leadfoot Lepley, Rowdy Goldsworthy, Kochy, the Out House and Thomo James. Great to see young gun Jesse back in a jumper. The boy was seen enjoying himself Sunday.
Our seniors looked to be bolstered by the return of injured captain Casey and a visit by champ Benny Mules. Unfortunately for us Benny had a magnetic board and not a sherrin in his hands. Our long term injured man from Unzed Gribbsy has intimated that he is on the look out for somewhere to hang his boots. Hopefully he can patch himself up enough to give a bit of service to the Bees.
Muchacho’s Magpies after gaining a slender quarter time break found themselves 3 goals down at the long break. Saint Kenny was able to maintain this to the final siren. Not Good! Especially for poor old Fig who had to witness his favourite son in law boot four against his beloved Pies. Sunday roast is off for you Jason!
Those who could hold their head high were Benny Walks, Pebbles Tom Banno, Jags Pratt, Jonesy and Dil Barlow.
The old Pirate Thorny was also at the footy (sort of) he rocked up in Bulljaws ute disguised as a mannequin. At one stage he was in danger of being mistaken by kids as one of those heads at the side show that you drop table tennis balls in. The bloke will have his mouth open even wider when he finds out that prominent Glencoe “Hobby” farmer Gozzy managed to outbid locals for Thornys whale watching / fishing / drinking charter and his humungos load of red gum.
The day went over a treat with a big crowd, and no stamped meat inspectors in sight. A big thanks here to LAKES VILLAGE MEAT for their cutting / packaging and after hours service on the day. The Doo lived up to it’s brand red gum country with all the trailers and utes loaded up waiting for the frenzied bidding to follow.
The auction was conducted by Creeky and Sam O’Connor. Great to have these blokes on board over the years. Much appreciated by all and sundry. The after auction party was fairly rowdy with young Mitchell Lowe getting a rapid education on what its like to be a ‘grown up’. We found out that Pratty loves big Cox after 214 super coach votes went his way.
Rocket Rod not wanting to be a wanker or a knob used his considerable influence to call for a taxi. Pooshooter in one of his boisterous moods found that our new front bar is unshakable as he and Dowdell erections Phil gave a half-baked rendition of ‘Oh when the saints’, but with a sound like that they definitely wouldn’t come marching in.
Hilton heiress Jenny on a progressive drinking tour had an extra special yawn at Feathers Carlton after match party. Not that anyone picked them in their footy tips.
Crouchy was at it again Saturday giving us the latest update on the hit parade. This bloke has more hits than Elvis. 52,000 O.N.O.
Leadfoot and Pud, young tenants of the Mules rental property in Crowe Street were pleasantly surprised to see that it comes with a pop up pool in the front yard. Leadfoot is a bit wary now where he parks his uterus. Trent has upgraded his wardrobe after his tracky dacks had a blow out.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 10
Our last game a fortnight ago against Kongorong was a successful one for both junior teams. The senior colts were playing to consolidate a position in the top four as were Kongorong. We came out switched on from the first bounce and took control in the first qtr to set up what was to be a winning lead. Our first three qtrs were some of the better football we have played in the last few weeks, something we need to maintain each game. After trying a few players in different roles in the final term we relaxed a bit which let the opposition kick a couple of late goals, however the game was won in a solid team performance. Best players were K Hogan Kriegers Kool Cash, B Auld KFC Life Members award, J Davies Fasta Pasta, Cam auld KFC Thurs Night Tea, J Casey Kentucky Fried Chicken & M Krieger KFC Ladies award.
The junior colts started the second round with a much needed confidence boosting win. The game was tight early but with some good teamwork & perseverance we were able to kick away to record the points. Hopefully we can get our share of wins this round to finish the year of well. A highlight of last game was Nathan Widdison kicking two first qtr goals, his first goals I think, and being rewarded with the Ritchie Rich award. Other better players were P Davies Subway, L Farrugia Fasta Pasta, S McManus Hungry Jacks, S Farrugia McDonalds & C Dunn Video Ezy.
A big day at Footy Park a couple of weeks ago before the big bye bye.
Our vice regal visitor Rob Dycer was on hand to officially open the new improved surface (and a few of Ralphs Hahns) before an appreciative audience of sponsors, supporters and life members. The spread put on by tireless canteen cusine experts Tracy Can and Helen Carlson was fantastic. If you went home hungry it wasn’t their fault.
Community Club president and Hawthorn swinging voter Crackerjack was also into openings getting cracked on the cruit trying to open up the bar shutters. The red vino was flowing freely, nearly causing sponsor guru Ralph to get weak kneed. Luckily club medico Swanee Opie took the triple O call to patch the old bloke up before he had to perform on the rostrum. Our fearless 1972 B grade premiership mascot Lubola crept in now and again to take his temperature and pinch one of Ralph’s elixirs. Kadoo’s favourite hairy back wombat came up with the goods too when his prized beanie covered up the damage.
Meanwhile back at footy Wombat managed to get a cameo part in the B grade gig against the undefeated Kongorong juggernaut.
Apart from a second quarter blowout coach Can would have to have been reasonably happy with the endeavour of his boys. Captain Courageous Jarrad Kilsby was the pick of our best along with Tom Bannister, Tin Can, Kochy, Groves and Little Chris.
Muchacho’s Magpies looked the goods with three great goals to zip on the board in the first four minutes. Kongorong came back to create a contest that had bugger all in it before it saw the Hawks claw their way to the lead in the second half of the final term, topping it off with a couple of late goals to gain the four points.
Our injuries meant the arrival of Chrissy from the back of Bourke was most welcome. The boy was also injury free and he strutted his stuff to be our best, three handy goals were also included in his contribution, young Jack Casey now a fully fledged P plater (see ya later dad) Hatchy, Pebbles, Walks and old Father Time Jonsey. Muchacho enjoyed his three goals.
Big game today with the saints on the rise after a couple of morale boosting wins. Any chance of BC and Gribbsy being back?
Footy Park looked like a marine park a couple of days prior to the Hawk game. A few of the boys had the big red button fully pressed after old Huey relieved himself over the Doo.
Ondy’s fire fighter worked a treat and kept the ducks away as well. Fig got in a trance and connected with Mother Mary to ensure another miracle was going our way.
Young Pratty, jags won the net heads raffle and was pumped to see that Necia had arranged for a XXL to be the prize. The boy didn’t care much for the plonk but.
The bi monthly meeting of the Drop Bear Appreciation Society at mister B Jaws residence was thrown into disarray after Squeaky Brooks the Mt McIntrye multicultural ambassador volunteered, and go to Chrissy Island to plunge a few reffo’s. The lad was glowing after the Hawk game, a new supporter of “Tawny” Port Power.
The Old Pirate, who loves horses (good cray bait) decided to wait up to watch Black Caviar blitz the Brits in Pomgolia. Way past the old fellas bed time but with his trusty tick tock declaring it to be 6am. He managed to watch the replay though.
Chrissys night out on the town in the Mount with the boys ended up OK after the contents of his pockets made their way back to the Doo courtesy of an honest individual and local boy in blue Brent. Our fly in miner flew out Tuesday only to rock up again Thursday after the champ was advised that the joint was flooded. Pity the deluge didn’t continue and he could strut his stuff today at Nangas.
Professional Wepar Tit Puller Shiny Dowdell was a moving ‘target’ for store security as the bloke took his new strides that Aunty Kerry had bought for him for a walk. Good idea if you take the long sizing sticker on the leg off next time to avoid attracting attention.
We have our annual Goods and Services Auction tomorrow many a bargain to be had and please note that local Posty Sharon has stamped our meat. All Kosha, Dunny old Mate!
Professional footy site hit man Crouchmeister celebrated the big four oh at the gee on the weekend. Dont know whether Penny got him a cake though.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 9
A cold day at the Doo Saturday when the Burr boys rocked up to have a run around Footy Park.
Not too much happened to warm the hearts of the pie supporters apart from the senior colts contributing another 4 points to the club tally.
Our junior colts were up against it from the start last week against Mt Burr. They are the benchmark of the U 14 competition this year and hadn’t lost a game coming into this round. After kicking away from us in the first qtr our boys dug in and restricted their movement and scoring opportunities for the rest of the game. The tackling was tremendous and rewarded with free kicks for great effort. Keep the endeavour and enthusiasm up and better results are just around the corner. Better players were L Farrugia Fasta Pasta, S Farrugia Subway, B McMurtrie McDonalds, L Ousey Hungry Jacks, P Davies Video Ezy & C Jones K’Doo Lions Club Ritchie Rich Award.
The senior colts were playing for a much needed win to keep a place in the top four. The week off didn’t seem to help in the first qtr as we seemed a bit slow. A good old fashioned blast from the coach at qtr time did the job and the players responded by gaining the upper hand by half time. The Burr boys weren’t to be denied though making sure we had to keep on mind on the job and play consistent football until the final siren. A good last qtr saw us kick away to ensure the win but we must remember to switch on and play a full four qtrs if we want to play and go deep into finals. Best players named were J Davies Kriegers Kool Cash, M Krieger KFC Life Members award, K Hogan Fasta Pasta, B Auld Thurs Night Tea, Zac Dunn Kentucky Fried Chicken & J Casey KFC Ladies award.
A big thanks to our champion ‘hit man’ Crouchy for doing the last 3 notes. Should put the boy in good stead for when he takes over next year. The mice had a field day while I was away pigging out on the full bins in the changerooms. Our patriotic Pies also kept the Aussie flag flying for 3 weeks. You beauty!
Catching up on a few ‘watches’ I noticed that Marvin Morris reckoned our supporters should be upset with the way the seniors were playing. This bloke is way off the mark given our player losses and injuries. This was evident by the crowd that filled the changerooms after the Burr game.
The Mozzie seconds firmly entrenched in the four didn’t give Cans boys a look in as they ran away with an easy win. Our blokes ran the game out for coach Tin Can McCann who lead by example to be named our best along with Groves who is having a good injury free run (unlike his big bro at the Bay who has a broken collar bone). Braedy Morcs who flew in from the salt mines to visit uncle Boydy, Ryan Rockcod, little Luke and wild wild west.
Fred had us playing for the Harry Bott shield but Two Bums confirmed it will be up for grabs at the Burr in the next round. Even years at the Burr; odd years at the Doo.
The Mozzies burst out of the blocks to have us shell shocked and 57 points down the gurgler at the end of the first quarter however to Muchacho’s Magpies credit they took the game up to the Burr in the last 3 quarters.
Pat threw a few down the hatch after being named best others to be recognised were Tit Puller Jags Pratt, Jason Banno, Big Stewie, Mad Dog Jones and young gun Jack Casey. Dunny found the big sticks four times.
Relief driver Chappy had the flag up and meter running while waiting for taxi King Rocket Rod to respond in the opposing end goals. Old mate Chappy was a bit ‘pissed off’ at half time giving the official goal ump card a bit of a spray! Not a bad party trick if you can get away with it.
Windfarm bird kill counter Clintorus back home from Tassy made the big statement ‘Ill play in the bees” only to be found making love to Pud and Troy’s Benny Hill bar.
Pirate, Captain Ahmed Thorn is thinking of moving to Canberra pushing shopping trolleys. Amateur fruit picker Hawky could do with a trolley after taking a shine to a ‘decommissioned lemon tree’ oh so pretty near the Hilton. Bomber Hawks ancestor got transported to oz in 1820 for a similar crime.
Big night at training Thursday when an armed and dangerous Jenny pulled out the swiss army knife so poo shooter could krank open a tin of pineapple. Mash up the contents, add a ‘flagon’ of vodka and hey presto headache material.
Birthday boy Numb Nuts Lowe ended up being comfortably numb (apolagys to Floyd) after taking his problems home to Jenny. Happy to report it was not a return of his tropical wart affliction that used to haunt the boy in his youth. Some remedy but.
Local tree removalist Benny Carbon Tax Casey got as far as the Hilton, game day. This bloke is the scourge of the local red tailed black cockatoo or three.
Renowned boring man and ‘dead eyed’ Dick Trev fired off the odd angry shot after a big night out in the pumpkin patch before finally nailing one of his old whethers. Must have been all the dodging the Baaa-sted was not doing
Iraqi bad bloke Chemical Ali would have been proud of Landmark’s Benny Walks after the mayhem at Montebello incident gave the local emergency services an excuse for a call out.
For all players and supporters this round against Kongorong is our Sponsors & Life Members day. It is also the official opening of our newly renovated oval by Rob Dycer of the Wattle Range Council. Many hours of work and head scratching by a few dedicated members and the grateful contribution from the Wattle Range Council has enabled us to now claim one of the best playing surfaces in the local competition ( regardless of what some scribes think ). Today with the help of members of the Wattle Range Council as invited guests and our sponsors and life members we officially dedicate this ground to the community and thank all those who worked tirelessly and voluntarily to bring it to fruition.
Don’t forget the Goods and Services and stamped meat day to be held on the Sunday after the Nangas game 8th July.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 8
Our last game a fortnight ago against Glencoe resulted in a good win for the senior colts & a disappointing loss for the junior colts side. The senior colts with an almost full list to choose from had a commanding win over a struggling Glencoe team. There was even a moment of play time when we seemed more intent on scoring for the opposition. This bit of frivolity is not the stuff of a good & professional football side. If we want to play deep into the finals this year we will have to play quality football for the full game time with our minds on the job. Best players named were C Auld Kriegers Kool Cash, M Lowe ( 8 goals ) KFC Life Members award, R Carlson KFC Ladies award, B Casey Thurs Night Tea, Z Dunn Subway & D Oeser. The junior colts suffered a loss when we might have expected a win. Unfortunately we lost three of older & bigger players to injury before the game which left us a bit short both numbers wise & height wise. The side battled manfully to the end & as Tim said after can hold their heads up as the game was never given away. Best player S McManus Fasta Pasta, P Davies Subway, B McMurtrie McDonalds, T McManus Hungry Jacks, Liam Ousey Video Ezy & M Davies K’Doo Lions Club Ritchie Rich award.
Last week there was no local football we did however have some K’Doo players represent the club at league level in games at Pinnaroo & Naracoorte. Congratulations to the following in both representing our club and the MSEFL Under 17s Michael Krieger, Jack Casey, Brad auld & Mitchell Lowe:- Under 15s Braiden Ousey & Ben Casey:- Under 14s Sam McManus, Patrick Davies & Liam Carlson. Well done to all that competed and to the parents that made the long trip to Pinnaroo on The Saturday & Naracoorte on Sunday. Also congratulations to Tim Brennan who coached the U 14 team for the second year in a row, a tremendous effort.
Today we welcome Mt Burr to K’doo, but two weeks ago we made the short journey over to Glencoe to battle it out for the 4th annual Max Matthews Memorial Cup. The Ressies had an influx of new blokes to help out with numbers. Coach Macca was busy sussing the names list on Thursday night, declaring over 40 players have pulled on a jumper so far this season! Keeping them is the hard bit!
The task at hand was always going to be challenging with Glencoe sitting in second place on the ladder. At half time we hadn’t recorded a goal but Glencoe had 7 majors, and in the final wash-up they went on to win by 74 points. The boys still battled the game out in wet and heavy conditions. In the best for us were Dave Summers (welcome back!), vice captain Kochy, skipper Kilsby, big Cam Jorgo and Luke Little. Holly kicked the only goal.
Thankyou to new blokes Nick, Chris, Nathan and Luke who had a real crack and we hope they stick around for another game.
The seniors welcomed back skipper BC and Jonesy from injury, but are still missing Gribbsy and coach Jason Dunn.
Both sides had an even first quarter, with Glencoe missing early opportunities to put on more scoreboard pressure with inaccurate kicking. Jonesy and BC were battling hard and in everything, but by the half time break we were down by 23 points.
The young Magpies side battled bravely in the second half, but the Glencoe team was to strong and went on to win their first Max Matthews Cup. Best Players were Jonesy, skipper BC, Viney and young guns Aidan Auld, Jack Casey and Dylan Barlow.
If I’ve got my dates right, welcome back to Sav from his Japanese tour and look forward to reading his notes, complete with sushi stories next week. kalangadoo.sportingpulse.net Go the Magpies!

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 7
We didn’t come away with any wins last week in our junior grades but weren’t disgraced. The senior colts are suffering from a few injuries at the moment which is telling against good opposition. Hopefully we can bounce back this week and with a weeks rest for the long weekend we can get back to full strength. Hatherleigh shot out to a winning break in the first qtr last game and that proved to be the difference in the end. Best players were J Casey, M Krieger, R Carlson, B Ousey, James Brennan & J Opie. The junior colts came up against another top four side and were level pegging at three qtr time, a couple of quick last qtr goals to Hatherleigh though gave them the edge. It was another great effort from our boys who continue to show more endeavour than some of the bigger opposition. Better players were P Davies Fasta Pasta, L Farrugia Subway, S McManus McDonalds, C Jones Hungry Jacks, B McIntosh Video Ezy & Jaidyn Carlson Ritchie Rich award. With the whole club being hit with injuries at the moment a few junior players have stepped up to fill the gaps in colts B & A grade. Whilst it is not an ideal situation well done to those who have played two games some weeks. With players returning hopefully the need for this will rectify itself.
Macca’s Bees were stretched to the limit with Gully, Dil Barlow and even the skipper Kilsby called up to the Seniors to play. Injuries have taken a hefty toll on the team. Manu, Stag and Crouchy were no good from last week and even this game Joycey going down with a hamstring and a dislocated thumb. 1 goal to 12 at half time summed up the state of things on a cold and rainy day. Twanga was our only goal scorer and best of the bunch were Macca, Spud, Cam, Kochy, Mulga and colt Jakob Opie. Thank you to young guns Lowey and Jakob for filling in, also Tim Krieger, who looks like now having a regular spot! We wish both Manu and Joycey a speedy recovery from their injuries.
The A Grade has also had injury problems with several senior players out, but the team that took to the park was keen and ready to go. The boys battled hard all day with Viney in everything and Stu and Timmy working hard in the ruck. 6 goals down at the half the boys reset and worked hard in the last 2 quarters, kicking 4 goals in the final but Hatherleigh was to good. Reece was our only multiple goal scorer with 2, while Dylan Gull kicked a goal in his senior debut. The best players were Viney, Stu McLaughlin, Doody, Stoney, Reece Carlson and Aidan Auld. Today sees us taking on Glencoe in the Max Matthews Memorial Cup game. Check out kalangadoo.sportingpulse.net

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 6
Our journey to the seaside at Robe brought mixed results for the junior teams last week. The junior colts had an impressive win and showed how they can bounce back from a poor performance with a lot of desire and willingness to get the ball. Every player contributed which is how we must play to get the results we are looking for. Encouragement awards went to birthday boy Liam Carlson Fasta Pasta, Tye McManus McDonalds, Mat Davies Hungry Jacks, Conner Jones Subway, Sam Farrugia Video Ezy & Jorden Ziakas Ritchie Rich award in his first game for us.
The senior colts came back to earth losing their first game for the year. With a couple of players playing with injuries and a bad first half we know we are better than that performance. It doesn’t hurt to get a reality check though. Hopefully we can get back to being fully fit for this week and back on the winners list. Best named were M Krieger, James & Jordan Brennan, Jack Casey, Reece Carlson & Mitch Lowe.
We are hosting the junior interleague training sessions over the next two weeks on Wednesday nights. As a result we will be opening the canteen & bar providing some food & refreshment, anyone able to assist in helping serve or turn a sausage would be greatly appreciated.
The Bees had a coaching makeover with Chrissy taking the reigns this week, as super coach Macca was in Mexico for his sisters b’day. A win today would have seen the Magoos 3 and 2 and cemented them in the four a game clear, however it was not to be. Not a good start for the lads with the coach all at sea till half way thru the first quarter. Making matters even more interesting was that some of the lads seemed to be still at the Gold Cup, with several non arrivals and even Des being stranded in the Mount with no boat.
This meant Feathers and Bulljaw went into selection overdrive with several super veterans Stag and Kriegs getting a callup, and gun full back Krammo made a cameo appearance.
The boys were slow out of the blocks but by half time there was only 4 points in it and anyones game. Injuries started taking a toll with Jimmy coming off with a shoulder and Manu having knee trouble which left no one on the bench. The boys battled hard, with Holly kicking 3 goals but went down in the end by 35 points. Best were the Fish, sea-Gull, skipper Kilsby and defenders Joycey and Kochy.
The A Grade were up against it early on with the injury list mounting by the minute. Coach Dunn and Jonesy did not play, and injuries to BC and Gribbsy during the game did not help the cause. The boys were down at the half by 4 goals but kept chipping away against a Robe side that could sense a victory. The tide turned in the last quarter as the young players stepped up a gear to kick 5 goals to Robes one, but just run out of steam to go down by 13 points in a gallant effort. Major Goal kickers were Matt Doody with 4 and Ben Walker with 3, while in the best were Walker, Jesse McPhail, Viney, Doody and Timmy Brennan who all battled hard all day.
Reserves skipper Jarrad Kilsby entertained the locals at the footy club with great tunes, with plenty of Doo’ites hangin back to support him. Hutchy played the drums, Gully helped out with security and Fish was grooving on the dance floor.
Today sees us host the Hatherleigh Eagles at home and also a big Happy 30th B’day to Benny Walker, all the best champ! Regular notes writer Peter ‘Firken’ Savage is o/s for a while for his son Ian’s wedding in Japan. Hope the show goes well and Sav will try to send us some online pics!

Last weeks Tant wrap from Sav:
Honours were shared on the day when the all conquering Tant Tigers dropped into Footy Park on a day that was no where near as cold as they predicated. The Tigers bandwagon was loaded to ensure that the biggest gate so far this year was achieved.
Well known Pussy lover Simon going going gone Mules was manning the drawbridge gates to the Park with the radio keeping the boy up to date with the big purrfark game in Adelaide.
A pleasant surprise for the Doo Bee supporters was that they find themselves in the four after another heroic effort saw this determined side do the necessaries to record a narrow 9 point win. There was no Hollywood in the forward line this week but the boys found themselves a focal point in Gully who popped through four valuable goals when needed.
A couple of the boys got crunched with Socksy copping a heavy knock. The upshot being a relayed free kick that resulted in a goal. Big Cam Jorgensen also took a heavy one that had Rocket Rod on a bit of lean trying to get him to the bench. This did not stop the boy from being named as best along with Dil, coach Cann, Gully, Groves and Youngy.
Cogsy has missed both wins due to work. Crouchy got four calls from the Snot wanting a game – full forward and a ride to Footy Park. The side is coached by Chrissy against Robe and a few old stagers in Wombat, Stag, Krammo and even Mick Oeser are looking for boots. Luba was also being mentioned for a cameo.
Dunny’s Doo Boys didn’t know what to expect from the ladder leaders with the Bay game still fresh in their minds. However our blokes gave more than a good account of themselves. The final scoreline showed us 54 points down but the three quarter siren declared there to be only 11 points in it. Our supporters were appreciative of their efforts as was the old muchacho. Not having B.C. and Chrissy carrying an injury made it even more noteworthy.
Down the Hatch was best along with Jonsey, pebbles, Jack, Koops and Fush and Chips. Didn’t the injured Leadfoot just love waving those flags!
The bad ne ws is Chrissy’s departure to Chinchilla 350K’s west of Brisbane and old mate Jonsey who ended up mauled in his quest for a seeing eye dog after copping one in the eye. The only way to break up a dog fight next time is with a lump of 4 x 2. Chrissy and Gribbsy could be in the money after scoring gold passes to the cup. The mug punters were discussing tactics. Chrissy is worried about the welfare of his woofer Chucky after it failed to gain entry to the Mules lost dog home.
Rear Admiral Baked Bean Boyd brought heavies in to meet Jess’s new boyfriend with Pumpkin Burns rocking up at the front door with a cricket bat. Result ‘not out’. ‘Paul Id’ like to have a beer with Duncan” had to hitch a ride back to the Mount after his designated driver issued him his third and final warning. Closet Magpie Mick Carlos Agnew looking for a sleep over at figs was getting the evil eye from young bloke big TomTom as his one for the road soon turned into 10!
The Moth and Brooksy will be absent from the Hatherleigh game as the intrepid duo and chaperone Missus Who heads off to watch the Crows beat the Wobbles, followed by a raid on the casino. Squeaky also has to get some pipes cleaned and should return a new man. Meanwhile Fig has issued a fatwah on Fred for his Footy Park comment.
Relations are ‘strained’ after Jaw and Cubby lit up Pud’s vintage Ash Wednesday post in a roadside vegetation burn.
Something else that is on fire is Crouchy. The old Crouchmeister is all black and blue with the hits he has been getting on the Doo website. The webmaster has just recorded 20,000 (or 90mb) so far this month easily eclipsing the previous high of 2871 in all of May last year.
We had a classy chick at footy training Thursday. Next time you are at Koonara Coonawarra have a Captain Cook at the wine taster
In closing, the old Pirate would like to offer the following ‘Wayne Swan couldn’t even wave the flags in the KDoo minis’ and ‘Penny Wong’s kid wouldn’t make the grade’. You wouldn’t guess that the old bloke is a right wing liberal would you.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 5
The junior colts had a disappointing loss against Tant last week. In a game we probably should have won the boys went down in a close game. Being in front with a few minutes to go we weren’t able to hang on for the win. We have to remember to play for the full four qtrs every match. Once again it was pleasing to see the endeavour from the younger & smaller players. Best players were P Davies Fasta Pasta, S McManus Subway, Tye Mcmanus McDonalds, B McMurtrie Hungry Jacks, B McIntosh Video Ezy & Tom Widdison Ritchie Rich award.
The senior colts had a comfortable win over Tant colts. It was a good contest however we were able to run away in the second half. Good to see the rotations off the bench giving every player an even run. Best Named J Davies Kriegers Cash, J Casey KFC Life Members, M Krieger Fasta Pasta, R Carlson Thurs Night Tea, J Ferrazzola Kentucky Fried Chicken & J Opie KFC Ladies Award.
Both our junior teams will have to be primed ready to play from the first bounce this week against Robe.
Thankyou to everyone for helping & contributing last Sat night at our Junior teas. We were able to raise some very valuable money to support our junior teams. Special thanks to Simon Bott for organizing the fundraiser, you can have this week off, sort of.
Not too bad a day at the Bay apart from ’something’ that will get minimal coverage. A warm day to match the hospitality and cold beer. What more could a bloke ask for? Even the Mayor of Mount Burr was there with nuts setting up base camp in the you beaut Bay boozer. A notable absentee however was Benny Who. The old bloke and Missus Who reportably got as far as the Mount before cancelling the rest of the day trip due to a tsunami warning that did not eventuate. They spent the arvo ‘Poking’ around Blue Lake City. Pity as Benny’s old late night companion Macca was at the Bay looking for the bloke.
One of our two highlights of the day was the fantastic effort put in by Cans Bees. This group of blokes should be proud of themselves. Both sides are at the wrong end of the ladder but this didn’t matter in a very entertaining game.
After being slightly behind in the first half the boys had it all squared away at the last break before a topsy turvy final 20 minutes had the siren announce them 6 point winners.
Best players not supplied in the paper, but socksy rounded them up to be Kochy, Joycey, Tom Banno, Westy, Terminator and Cam Jorgeson.
Great to see the Terminator and Hollywood back in the mix. Hollywood’s 3 goals and the Terminator’s presence certainly helped- He said ‘I’ll be back’.
One thing that we learned was that the position of a clubs seconds on the ladder is not indicative of what their seniors may be able to do.
The old Pirate may as well have had the blokes lined up at the Port Mac jetty for a tuna fishing trip on his galleon.
Losing Chrissy and B.C. to injury didn’t help the cause in a white wash that buggered up an otherwise good day. Against insurmountable odds those to made the credits included Timmy Brennan, Jonsey, Benny Walks, young Stoney and the old Muchacho Dunny.
We didn’t get our first goal until 14 minutes in the second quarter by which time the Bay had booted eleven.
The Pies were a winner at half time however when bluebagger Case had his number drawn out by Deano for the trailer load of Port Mac premium driftwood. The champ cashed it in for 50 big ones
A bit of soul searching in the rooms after the accident. Ace medico Lubola found his inner self with his latest toy, a smoke vaporiser this ‘bong’ got the 1972 B grade premiership mascot high on passion fruit and black forest cake.
The animals were out of the zoo in the Mount after Memory sang the holy grail at the South Aussie. Cougars Tracy, Tracey, Trudy, Sheryl and Helen were on the prowl. All too much for Trudes who coughed up a furball next morning. Bulljaw and Chrissey escaped their clutches hiding in ‘Shadows”. Unfortunately Bully get ‘chucked’ out when the technicolour yawner got decked by a 6 pack of drop bears. Bundy a go go boy Andre rocked up at Sorrento’s with the boys to hail Helen (his taxi).Helen was pleased to find out that Pud was 47!
A few of the Doo crew journeyed to Colac for Tommys birthday. Big bro Tumbarrumba got lumbered by the same Johnny Hopper on the way up and back. This ground hog day event will see the spud king investing in some new back tyres.
Professional Mt McIntyre hay roller and crop circle artist Squeaky Brooks also looked a bit ‘tyred’ at church after a big blow out at Mt Muirhead (does happen when you put 2 tonne on a 1 tonne ute) this has prompted the lad to seek out a new ‘Korea’, you might have seen them walking around town.
Meanwhile back in Colac after 10 days of achy breaky heart poo shooter and the Hilton were united – nearly, until they discovered Snork Ousey banging on their hotel door singing Noosa Foxe’s sssingle bed. Our intrepid man from scrotum had managed to lock himself out of his room and commandeering the spare bed in the Mules ‘honeymoon suite’ topped their night off by serenading them with his snoring.
Hair and nail specialist Jenine left in a quandary before jetting of to Fiji. What to do about the Hatherleigh boarding kennels. To put Lilly in there or better still whack in Jack. At least then she will know that he is being looked after. As it turns out they are both home alone together with a can opener.STOP PRESS….. A report has just come in of Lilly nearly becoming a temporary speed hump in Pick avenue. Jack told her not to tell Mum. So we will keep it quite. Check out kalangadoo.sportingpulse.net

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 4
Our junior teams had mixed results last week against Pt Mac. The junior colts went down but never gave up trying kicking two goals in the last qtr to finish the game on a positive note. It was most pleasing to see the younger & smaller players attacking the contest winning kicks tackling & shepherding much bigger players. Encouragement awards went to Brandon Mcmurtrie Fasta Pasta, Nathan Widdison Subway, Sam Farrugia McDonalds, Tye McManus Hungry Jacks, Mat Davies Video Ezy & Nathan Auld Ritchie Rich.
The senior colts came up against probably their hardest test to date. With both sides missing a couple of players we played a 16 a side contest which provided a free flowing & skilful game. It wasn’t until the last qtr we were able to pull away to secure the points. There were no passengers in the whole side with every player contributing. Players named in a team effort were M Krieger T & S Kriegers Kool Cash, Cam Auld KFC Life Members, M Lowe KFC Ladies Award, J Opie Thurs Nite Tea, Ben Casey & J Brennan.
Congratulations to both James & Jordan Brennan for being selected & playing in the S.A. u15 indigenous side that competed recently in Qld. Both boys played key roles in the State team eventually losing the final to W.A. The club is proud of your achievements & glad to have you back in the club jumper.
Don’t forget tonight is junior football teas night. All help is greatly appreciated. We require help from mid afternoon to get prepared & in the evening to serve. We encourage everyone who can to stay around for tea and support our juniors.
Footy Park looked a treat in our first home game. The weather was pretty good and even showed off our ‘green age’ sprinkler system when earth god Huey did his stuff and sprinkled the Park conveniently at half time.
President Deano, curator Jack and a few other champions are to be congratulated on their efforts. New lights on the Burr side are also a big plus as was the first blow in anger of the new hooter. Rose gardener Missus Who’s tenure on the scoreboard looks safe though with the pies having no immediate plans to wire the old chook up and led light her.
Old mate Hawky, past president and ace curator, was the centre of attention at Sunday mornings Church service, it wasn’t his birthday but none the less our old bomber was the recipient of one of Missus Guvs specials. A lovely chocky ladies hat cake (she reckoned he was a bit of a girl) for stating that he would eat his hat if the Pies played footy on the Park in 2012 due to the refurbishments.
The congregation tucked in before the guest of honour had to leave still suffering the effects of tripping the light fantastic the previous night at the Hilton.
Cans Bees were jumped by Nangas (who aren’t travelling that bad) in the first quarter to be six goals down before the boys managed to claw themselves back into the game if we played 5 quarters the job may have been right. However the hooter cranked up at 2.10 to record that we were up the well rowed creek by 14 points.
Injuries are taking their toll even this early in the season as Ralph’s driver has given up the ghost (not his 4WD) while Joycey’s calf (not his 4 LO) is just hanging in there. Best were Jarred Kilsby, James Thomas, Fish, Can, Gully and Dill bags.
Milo was nowhere to be seen as the big NANGADOO game took centre stage. We should invite the old oracle of the airwaves onto the hallowed Footy Park turf to toss the coin. Heads we hang in there tails we merge. Old mate Gilbo the watch punting guru could have held the bet. Neither side was odds on favourite so the result was up in the air with the coaching battle between the two former Eastie / Doo boys
Our first quarter stamped the Pies authority for the rest of the game as Dunny’s Muchacho’s held the Nanga boys goalless and recorded a lead of 45 points . The remaining quarters showed splits 7 to 4; 8 to 3 and 5 to1. A bit of the goalkicking went astray. However Doods notched 6 while the up and coming chip off the old cock Jack Casey showed some of his undoubted talent with 5. His older cuz champ B.C. went down like a bag of shite in the opening term but managed to shake it off to get himself a regulation B.O.G. Chrissy was not as fortunate being forced off with a day ending injury.
Best of the Doo boys were B.C., Viney, Jonsey (back in the side along with Timmy), rough diamond Stoney, old howdy Doody and the Big fella Stewie McCallum who had a field day. Killer enjoyed his day out at the Doo. Workhorse Two Bums Bott after his stellar performance at Kongorong was elected unopposed for the NANGADOO gig. He had a dream Friday night that old Barrell White was going to rock up with his silk flags. As it worked out he was definitely dreaming, or possibly dreaming of AFL goal chick Chelsea. However a bloke in North Melbourne gear was spotted at half time. The old Hawthorn tragic was a bit keyed up when his set did a return trip from the Mount by Miss Bums Lauren.
Matty Doodys handiworks van was transformed into a you beaut 70”s sandman sha….._wagon. The Red Dog was most impressed with his reno. Big chief Silver Fox and faithful Fig knew the Nanga game was a foregone conclusion so they journeyed up to the big smoke to look at the Tigers feast on a bit of Black Caviar.
Missus Guvs two boys have left the country; Crowbar on his annual sojourn to Pomgolia / Ireland while big bro Guvs jetted in from up north rugged up, went to Benny’s Hill and flew the coop to Unzed. Only one problem. The lad forgot his ozzy passport , luckily his pommy one got him away. Don’t worry boy your mum has great faith in registered mail. Noticed our lapsed footballer Hollywood get a kick from over the boundary. Could the boy be on the way back?
The old Crouchmeister is our media man in charge of the Doo website. Any contributions are welcomed by the lad. Photo’s in particular.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 3
Both our junior teams got off to a great start in our first game against Kongorong a few weeks ago winning both games comfortably. The junior colts burst out of the blocks with a 6 goal first quarter and were never threatened after that. Thanks to Chrissy Mules for coaching the boys while Tim was away. Best players that game were P. Davies, Sam Manus (7 goals), L Farrugia, Liam Ousey, Brock McIntosh & Tye McManus. Last week against Nangwarry was a different story. The Nanga’s have recruited well and had a much bigger team. Our lads played the game right out but were no match across the whole ground for size. Best named were P Davies, L Farrugia, S McManus, Tye McManus, Brandon McMurtie & Matt Davies in his first game.
The senior colts backed up a good win in the first game with a blow out against an undermanned Nangwarry. Thanks to Jacob & Jordan for helping out & playing the entire game for Nangwarry. However the game was a one sided affair with every player kicking at least two goals each. We will have to be well prepared this week with a stronger opposition. Best players last game were B Auld, j Casey, B Casey, Josh Ferrazolla, R Carlson (6 goals) and M Krieger.
The K’Doo Junior Football Club would like to thank our generous sponsors for this season Fasta Pasta, Subway, McDonalds, Hungry Jacks, Video Ezy, K’Doo Lions Club Ritchie Rich Award, T & S Krieger, KFC Life Members and KFC Ladies Committee. We also welcome all our new and returning players and families to the Football Club. This year we also have a team in the U 11 competition which play before the junior colts. Under the command of Kevin Joyce and with the help of many other parents we hope you all have an enjoyable time in your first season of football. We are always looking out for any assistance with goal umpiring, water carriers, boundary and time keeping etc. All help is greatly appreciated so don’t be shy to put your hand up and help where you can.
Another slow week waiting for the big NANGADOO game that could see us all book into Heart Break Hotel if things don’t go to plan.
The bye Saturday saw a few boys gather at Chrissy’s for a bit of intensive training bouncing the sherrin around the block before an impromptu iron man comp out at Lake Leake. The good idea at the time managed to get jumping Jack Casey bogged after wallowing a bit too far into the mud.
Inspired by this turn of events Benny Walker got his birthday suit out and took the opportunity to take a much needed mud bath to improve his looks- didn’t work.
Benny Mules was back in town for the Kalangadoo Remembers Day. The boy also remembered to rock up at church Sunday night where he checked out the new red gum altar that deano has been installing. The old 1975 bar is no longer and the new one looks a treat. It would want to as well with the price of moulded red gum being what it is – you definitely wouldn’t be whacking it in the fireplace to warm your tootsies by.
Chrissy’s got things down to pat, getting home all thonged up at 5.30am for the 6.30 dawn service. Our young patriot then surprised Fig and Cathy at the Holy City on Wednesday for their bash resplendent in shoes. The mayor of Kalangadoo Llew Davies was most impressed by the boys get up. Also at the going down of the sun and in the morning the doof doof boys bunked down in the house of horrors had it cranked up for all to enjoy or not. Pink Floyd is the go blokes not this new crap.
Crap or not it worked on the foxes as a shoo roo does on the Skippies. This would go a long way to explaining why benny Who was wasting his time at 0300 hours wandering around his backyard in his jocks armed with a broom waiting on his old adversary burr fox to rock up. Job right though even though he made his chooks a tad nervous free range egg production continued unhindered. The old chook kept his bed warm.
Meanwhile up the road from doof doof central the Old Pirate Thorny, in town for some well deserved shore leave used a bit of his trainee moth skills he got from the black belt in Mothdom Benny firkin Who looking for fridge lights. Unfortunately his second or tenth kill for the night proved his undoing when the old buccaneer got told to FFF fade away. Thorny’s parrot has a long memory and I am sure that Tank will be invited to walk the plank.
The new siren with the MCG sound was commissioned Thursday thanks to our kind benefactor Mr F Knows. The you beaut pick up from Hooters and Horns echoes nicely over Footy Park and will be a definite asset, nicely installed through Swanee Opie and DeBruin electrical. Congrats go the way of local Old McDonald’s farm pair chook chick Jo and Pig pen Joe who have announced their engagement.
Please note that as per last year the Monday am deadline don’t suit this freckled duck so a half baked report will always be a week out of whack. If any of you blokes or birds have a story to tell give me the basis and I’ll do the rest of the B.S.
Don’t forget back to Memory Lanes South Aussie after the Bay game.
Footy trip is being organised already by our presidential nail banger Deano who reckons we are off to the Cox Plate. ‘Guests Lists’ are out put your name down.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 2
Big day at Kongorong opening round with the Hawks refurbished nest being unveiled and local blue baggers (bets now being accepted for September) Case celebrating his birthday with 2 of his boys in Sam and jack lining up together in the seniors with big cuz B.
Cans Bees were undermanned and underdone with the warm conditions taking it’s toll on some of the boys who started the season unconditioned. The vaseline was pretty handy around the rear gear too with a bit of chafing breaking out. The press gang in operation Thursday night looking for recruits. Manager feathers was lucky enough to fill up the team sheet as living legend Crouchy took the flowers out of his newly retired boots as well as leaving them behind for renowned barefoot specialist Chrissy to find.
The new jumpers looked the goods on the boys and Feathers rounded them up after the game due to the high attrition rate in the seconds. Noticed old Stone Henge at the game. Buggered if know how he didn’t end up with a gig. Our resident player from Deutchland Manu loves his footy and was pumped to be in the side: Achtung baby!
Newly married Gully has found his leash extends at least as far as Kongorong: Rowdy did his ankle, injuries meant there was no one on the bench after quarter time.
Welcome to new bods in a bloke called Fish and Kyle. Jonsey did a cameo in the bees for B.O.G. and Ralph stripped for 2 goals.
Good to see past coaches in Memory and Hitler on hand to watch the much changed pie line up roll out in the capable hands of veteran Jason Tiger Dunn. Also ex Pie Thorn Dog unable to use his visa to Sandford due to a buggered hand and newly retired (due to injury) Timmy Ellis who could have saved the day for us with his silky skills in the forward line. Anyhow good to see all you blokes and the numerous other Doo supporters who we hope will continue their support throughout the season.
Great to see the run in the boys sticking up the highly fancied Hawks in the final quarter unfortunately not drilling the big white sticks. It’s never good to lose but even the opposition would not have failed to be impressed by their four quarter endeavour.
New blokes in the seniors mean we now have a few pairs, in the alphabet brothers Aulds, Bannisters and Casey’s. I don’t know what three pairs are worth in cards but definitely heaps for Dunny. Congrats also to first gamers in young Michael Krieger, Viney, Koops and Maccas in Jacob and Stewart.
A few goings on around the traps include rear Admiral Boyds front fence now available for advertising sign rental: KC ensures Carlton Footy Club get the prime possy: Scrotum are investigating the possibilities. Missus Who fixes up her itchy toe, on the new club front bar still not bloody happy though (with Collingwood).
Fill in minis coach Chrissy gets his woofer to warm up his new footy jumper
Reinvigoured Hawthorn head 2 Bums Bott looked the part waving the sticks. The ideal spot to hide from Janine who had reports that the boy was holding up the Kongorong bar. The old B grade legend still shows a bit of dash making it from full forward to the Hawk half time beer hall in record time and even managed to beat a slim trim and terrific Gilbo by a short half head (of a stubby).
It appears that Wombats bid to get a few more games to add to his impressive tally is buggered. Most Wombats eats roots shoots and leaves; This local hairy back variety also digs bloody big holes in Orange NSW.
Milo could be at the game today to push his NANGADOO agenda. Hopefully both clubs are around a bit longer. Tickets are selling fast for Hawky’s amazing HAT trick after his foot in mouth effort in January.

The Firkin Magpie 2012 Round 1
Welcome all Magpie supporters to the 2012 season. G’day to the rest of you.
A few changes around Footy Park this year with the boys running around in new jumpers on new turf. Cape weed Park should be a thing of the past with all the works over the summer seeing cricketers being kicked off and the footballers booting the sherrin around Fairy Tale Park, Tarpeena Oval. Many thanks here to Crammy and his old Canary/Kangaroo associates who made all this possible. A new hooter should also be on the go with the old faithful finally giving up the ghost.
Laney is all but a memory now as our 1999 pie, Jason Tiger Dunn takes over senior duties. Great to have the boy back even if it’s 12 years down the track. Young Macca Can continues in his quest for the Holy Grail – a seconds flag. Benny Walks is upbeat about the senior colts with adequate numbers while Timmy Brennan has again put his hand up for the minis who are lacking numbers early on. We also have an under 11’s line up to be ably guided by Kevin Joyce.
In the year that was
October; P.D. gets the call to join the big league with a seat on the round table of the Mid SE League: Dils playing future in doubt with lifetime ownership of number 42 in doubt with the arrival of Dunny
November; 11/11/11 Mount McIntyre declares a public holiday as the last of the mountain men gets married. Something smells fishy and it aint tuna.
December; Here’s Johnny bungee jumps from a tree in Queensland minus a rope- out for the season: Chrissy scores a plum job bending bananas will he be back? Old man not very happy. Back from the salt mines Morcs ‘slugs’ Benny Walks. Lead Foot feels for him.
January; In a new years resolution Hawky announces that he will eat his hat, if we play on Footy Park at all this season: Rumours run rife of the Wombat contemplating a comeback after complaining of itchy feet.
February; Fig baby sits for his Nangwarry honeymooners and misses a footy meeting. Who would have believed?: President Opie brings out the big guns to scare the local roos and ducks off of the new hallowed Footy Park turf with limited success: The sentimental bloke Rear Admiral Boyd celebrates his anniversary by taking Heidi Hi to see Pink Floyd: Suzi and Squirt head off on their big adventure.
March; Hunchy returning to the Doo after being exiled to Adelaide rocks up on a Friday and spends Sunday on bar duty at church, welcome back: Brian Who and Amanda present Margy Who with knitting needles, a ball of black and a ball of white wool with a pattern for booties. Triplets of the male gender would be fine first up: 27th Dunny and the boys take over from the roos in their first training run at Footy Park.
April; Fools day: Hawky checks the internet for recipes as mad hatters day looms – no shortages of chefs: Concerns that Benny Who’s reign as Kadoo’s oldest teen could be at an end. Perhaps the old wobble moth is slowing down!: Jack reactivates the antiquated winch after shes got a hole in the bucket dear ‘Frank’. Meanwhile Andre loses more hair looking for option B: Closet greenies Fig and Hawky (riding shotgun) up in the big smoke to watch Benny combined earth hour and the end of daylight saving by deciding to camp out in the Figmobile instead of the plush motel, to help out the planet and Julia’s global crap. The champ not only saved on electricity but also flattened his mobile trying to get help after locking the room keys inside. Hawky had a restless night with Fig snoring and trying to keep warm under Cathy’s save the planet shopping bags: Bob Brown is keen to give the pair a medal.
