Toast Regional Roos Thread - Down on the farm Roos

[Gasometer]

For anyone 1 hour from your closest State Capital City GPO to where you currently reside today.

Not yesterday, last year or in the past.

Hi. My name is Gasometer.
Followed the Roos since 1968.
Have a Full Membership after having a Country Roo Membership for a few years.

From Greater Mooroopna Victoria home of Jy Simpkin and just down the road from Sammy Wright from Katamatite.

Wear a mask when you go up the Street ‘eh?

I’m from Warragul. Grew up on a dairy farm. Started barracking for north on grand final day 1977 when I was 6. Played footy for over 20 years and cricket for 40 years.

Hello Gaso, I too am from the country.

I grew up down the road of our No.4 pick in the 1988 National Draft, John McNamara and played 1 game of junior cricket against him.

I started barracking for North on Grand Final day in 1977 too. My Mum's family are Collingwood and I didn't want to follow them.

I umpired the McKay boys in under 12s and 14s. Were good players but a bit sooky. Didn’t think they would play AFL at that stage.

Was first grand final shown on tv and my mum was Collingwood too so maybe that’s why I picked north!

Shouldn’t you country bumpkins be asleep - don’t you have to get up early to milk a cow

Shouldn’t you country bumpkins be asleep - don’t you have to get up early to milk a cow

Shouldn't you city slicker be working your 3rd job, just so you can afford to pay the rent.

There is a Carlton version of the banjo's which was funnier

Lambing at the moment so don’t need to be up so early

Hi, I’m Lomas

Grew up country, spent a fair portion of my life away and now back in the region my parents and grandparents back four generations lived.

I do spend a fair bit of time still in Melbourne or traveling for work, but am here now and happy for it.

Started following North in 2006 after a decade of petulance when Fitzroy was forced to merge with the bears. Never been more passionate about my club though.

 

[Joshen]

Currently based in Mildura, as regional as you get. Closer to Adelaide than Melbourne and New South Wales is a 10 minute walk away.

Been down for one game this season. Good Friday : stern look.

Why is it called duelling banjo's when one of them is playing a guitar?

The family were near us to
His sister was on the property beside us, good stories there but not for public discussion

Yeah different daughter to our former neighbour, there were a few kids in the family from memory

I grew up in Bentleigh, there were market gardens there at the time apparently. I hope to come from Rutherglen one day.

Does Torquay count as regional?
