Bulldog clerihews

[DognBones]

Peter Gordon deserves our gratitude
For his Bulldog spirit and feisty attitude
He gathered the faithful to start our revival
And planted the seeds for our long term survival

 

[weltschmerz]

A midfielder by the name of Scott West
Defined what it meant to be the best
There were few flaws to be seen in his game
His son's great too, but what's with his name?

 

[Fossie 32]

Or greatest Adams is a kid named Ryan
In 96 when times were tryin
His 20 cents changed Granty's fate
As loyalty won over the Power's bait

 

[Wocka]

Toby Greene's a grub
A gutless, sniping ranga
The world would be a better place
If his old man used a franger

 

[Mofra]

We're rucking English early
Some fans think "what the heck!"
206 centimetres
52 of that, neck

 

[Ghenghis]

Lachie Hunter,
Known as a punter,
His Kicking skills are not thriving
but they are better than his driving.

 

[footscray1973]

The orange faux toughs are pathetic.
Their franchise is highly synthetic.
Captain and tagger a pair of runts,
Coach and ex-captain rhyme with, um, runts.

 

[footscray1973]

Stephen Boyle and John Greening were fit.
In successive weeks, in 72, both king hit.
The thugs both wore red, white and black.
Victim's careers they never got back.

 

[footscray1973]

Matt Byrachevksi - contrast of names!
In 1980 2 goals and 3 games.
Wasn't a GOAT, played with no fuss.
Still played 3 games more than all us!

His legs were short, he wore twenty eight.
Stocky in build, of average weight.
Came from Parkside, slow on the run,
But still in the memory of this immigrants' son.

 

[footscray1973]

Leon Cameron - on both pegs could punt.
Describe him now? Clueless, a runt?
His team of oranges aren't in the hunt.
His coaching tactics are gutless and blunt.

 

[footscray1973]

Many an orange are a campaigner.
In 2016 I was briefly a champagner.
I tend to drink cider or a variety of beers.
But it felt like champagne watching their prelim tears.

[footscray1973]

As long as lines 1 and 2 rhyme and then lines 3 and 4 rhyme.

 

[Yojimbo]

Never read the instructions properly,
very sorry.

 

[footscray1973]

Never read the instructions properly,
very sorry.

Not singling you out (Mofra and Wocka!), I'm just a pedant.

Haiku like!

 

[_Mike_]

We once had a player named Hill,
who often shirked a contested pill.
Packing his bags he left for the West,
while Doggies fans cheered in jest.

 

[Yojimbo]

Doug Hawkins he could play,
But on the one wing he did stay,
He played the game hard and tough,
Coach knew one instruction was enough.

 

[Kennel Master]

Dale Morris, mate
Number 38,
Lots of love
For the Glove.

[Yojimbo]

Poor Mitch Honey-Church,
Career left in the lurch,
People could not wait to put the knife in,
Could not even save him with a hyphen.

 

[Yojimbo]

Tim English tall and thin,
Not many hit outs does he win,
From Bevo comes a familiar song,
Champion Data must be wrong.

 

[Yojimbo]

Jack Redpath he had bulk,
Built like the incredible hulk,
If his opponent he did touch,
Suspension guaranteed pretty much.

 

[Yojimbo]

Zephaniah Skinner,
What a winner,
Drove to Ballarat to watch him play,
He was the sub came on late and had one touch for the day.

 

[_Mike_]

There was a bloke called "titts",
who dished out the hard knocks & took a few hits,
on one occasion he played on Lockett,
who ran through him like a nuclear powered rocket.

 

[Yojimbo]

I remember Steve Kretiuk,
He was never one to sook,
When Lloyd donned a protective glove,
He dished out the tough love.
