All this talk of Freo now the favourites is killing me.
Now Lethal leigh is joining the chorus.
pundits all over,Sheedy ,Carey,Johnson from Geelong, that couldnt name half our team are suddenly experts on our defensive pressure!
it doesnt feel right....aah but then i came across some sledging from my old mate Allan Meyer......I can't help myself. Time for some GF fun. With apologies to that great old bush poem "We'll All be Rooned said Hanarahan"
"We'll all be rooned," said Ballantyne,
In accents most forlorn,
Outside the Freo Football Club,
One frosty Sunday morn.
The Freo players stood about,
Coat-collars to the ears,
And talked of taking home the Flag,...
As it had done for years.
"It's looking crook," said Captain Pav;
"Bedad, it's cruke, me lad,
For ever since the Hawks came good
The season’s lookin bad."
"It's crook, all right," the coach replied,
With which astute remark
He squatted down upon his heel
And chewed a piece of bark.
And so around the chorus ran
"Rioli’s just too fast."
"We'll all be rooned," said Ballantyne,
"Before the year is past."
A heavy silence seemed to steal
On all at this remark;
And each man squatted on his heel,
And chewed a piece of bark.
"We need someone like Buddy, boys"
The coach observed at last;
‘Well need someone like Roughhead too
To put the danger past.”
In God's good time the ball was bounced;
And all the afternoon
The Hawks did what the Hawks do best
Under the Melbourne moon.
The siren went, in God's good time;
To cheers from young and old
That cheer was heard o’er hills sublime
“Good on ya Brown and Gold.
Next day around the Freo club
Discoursed the men of mark,
And each man squatted on his heel,
And chewed his piece of bark.
"There's always next year boys,” they said
“We’ll win, without a doubt;
We'll all be rooned," said Ballantyne,
"Before the year is out."
AAaah the return sledging poetry will be fine at at 5 pm Saturday afternoon !!!
cant wait.
it feels better having someone to rail against.!
