Good morning all, Luffy’s back with some more hard hitting and insightful musings on all things football.
First off, I would just like to get something off my chest. Are David Schwarz and Glen Jakovich having a competition to see who can invent the most words during this season’s commentary? On the back of Glen’s use of “Mammothness” a couple of weeks ago, we had David create the word “Courageousness”. What the fuck does that mean? Why didn’t he just use the word “Courage” instead?
Did anyone hear Brad Hardie and Woosha going toe to toe on Sports Central? It all got very personal, with Woosha suggesting Brad didn’t understand the game and didn’t have what it takes to play in a premiership. Brad replied that he had played over 300 games and played in a premiership with South Fremantle when the WAFL was at it’s best. Woosha’s response was that he had played in 2 AFL premierships and had coached a 3rd.
What listeners didn’t hear was when the argument really deteriorated. I happen to have a transcript of what was said off air. Here it is:
Brad: You played in a couple of premierships, but how many Brownlows have you won?
Woosha: I didn’t win any Brownlows, but I think I might buy yours at auction. Apparently you need the money.
Brad: At least I don’t sound like I have got a blocked nose all the time
Woosha: At least I’m not a fat ranga.
Tape ends.
Lately, I have been giving some thought to the current crop of WCC players, trying to compare them to current and past AFL/VFL players. This is what I have come up with so far:
Tim Edwards – Lewis Roberts-Thompson (SYD). Edwy and LRT are both honest yet ungainly looking players who struggle to hit targets by foot.
Alex Hunt – Scott Turner (RICH) Dour defender who fought out of his weight division week after week. J
ohn Malcolm – Lazar Vidovic (STK). A football wildman known for his aggressive onfield behaviour.
Duran Carter – Ron De Iulio (CARL) Small, unfashionable on-baller cum defender who was at his best shutting down opposition players.
Rob Henderson – Brett Heady (WCE) Have you seen his ears?
Mark Hamilton – Martin Pike (FITZ, NM, BRIS) A capable player who is just a dodgy bastard off the field. Probably should be in jail.
Matt Hamilton – Clinton King (SYD, COLL, RICH) Skinny little whippet who seems to play for a different team every week
Simmo – Mark Nikoski (WCE) Loves to bomb the ball without really looking.
Lucas Meaney – Scott Lucas (ESS) Thinks handballing is completely unnecessary.
Travis Hardman – Craig Lambert (RICH, BRIS) Nuggetty midfielder who prefers to handball 99% of the time. Trav may be a slightly more attractive man however.
Tynan Coffey – Nathan Carroll (MELB) Rugged defender known to sport ridiculous facial hair.
Clarke Ryan – Ashley Sampi (WCE) Talented but portly forward who has eaten too much Sea Turtle
See if you can think of any others.
Luffy.
