The winning Entries:

This will sound ridiculous but it's absolutely true.

Had been playing juniors and decided to hang around for the reserves game. This was when they'd just brought in the rule that reserves could go into the rooms at half time in our league.

Anyway, half time, the away team came out to get ready for the 3/4 while our boys were still getting a rev up in the rooms from the coach.

After a number of calls by the umpire to hurry the fellas up, the umpire cracked it and announced he was going to start the game without them...problem was that when the away team (believe it was Cobden) heard this, they got so enthused that they had a centre square infringement and a free kick was paid to our blokes. By that time the boys were running out because they'd heard the game was starting and they took the kick.

Funniest thing I've ever seen on the footy field.

As I prepared for my hundredth game of junior footy, I had some clue of what was installed for me as I ran out onto the ground. My father, a former banner maker of the St Kilda Football Club, decided to make an awesome banner which read
"HE'S KNOWN AS
SLIM JIM JAMES
100 SUPER
GAMES"

My hundredth game was meant to be memorable for a great achievement, not for a moment of absolute hilarity. After telling Dad all week i wasn't going to break through the banner, he kept ignoring me and continued piling on the tape.

I sprinted out of the changerooms in excitement, followed by my best mate and captain. I got half-way through the banner and realised my theory was correct.

I did not break my banner fully, only to have the crowd pissing themselves at me, as well as myself, at my own embarrasment.

I will never forget that day.

Not too sure if i had to PM you are what!

BUT - once when i was at the footy, Ronnie Burns ran into an open goal and belted the footy directly into the back of my Dad's head who was shuffling down the isle with a packed beer tray. I'm sure you can imagine the result! None to impressed to say the least.

Thought i'd throw my two cents in!

cheers.

Hi Catman

Can I enter for my son - he's a Bf member "iameviljez". he's off wandering somewhere around Portugal at the moment. Anyway his entry is from a 2007 thread:

My GF Story
Didn't have a ticket. (As much as I might whinge about GFC members not getting them, I couldn't whinge about my not getting one too much - this year I didn't buy a membership as I've worked every weekend this year bar this one.) I decided I may as well try my luck at the ground regardless, as my old man had already secured one off a StKilda AFL member, and if it didn't work then I could always go to my friend's to watch.

After about forty-five minutes' trying, an AFL record seller came up behind me, said he might be able to help me out. He had a spare record-selling uniform in his bag - you beauty! I quickly bought five records off him to complete the illusion of being a record seller, tipped him a bit more for his help, and left the G to get myself sorted.

First step, Swan St newsagency, to buy some sticky tape. Next it was into the toilets at Richmond Station - time to tape the jumper to one leg, the scarf to the other, and you don't want to know where my GFC court jester's hat went! Straight into the uniform and off to the 'G'.

The only hitch was when a few of the "other" sellers asked me where I'd been, mistakenly thinking I'd been pinching their turf! I told them that I'd just gotten a text about a family emergency, and as I had no credit I needed to go to the station to use a payphone... what a great lie.

Walked straight into the gate, and got my bag checked on the way (so I was infinitely thankful I'd both bought the records and taped the Geelong stuff to myself, or else the game was up). The nice security man on the fence wished me good luck selling, and I was on my way - on my way into the toilets to change back out of my record gear and straight into my Geelong stuff! And you know the best part? I've got a few records left over for safekeeping...

Dad and I had a wonderful day together in standing room. We shared a fantastic three hours together that meant a lot to both of us due to our own inherited passion. Eternal thanks to the Record Guy for getting me in - you gave me memories (and a story) that will last a lifetime!

And - oh yeh - if you ever try what I did, make sure you hide your Geelong gear. Just a tip!

thanks Catman, and, GO CATS!!

cheers

I live in Israel and am a mad Geelong supporter. In 1997 I was In melbourne for a visit and got a single ticket to the grandfinal.
I took my camera along to take a few shots .After finding my seat I wandered down to the boundry line to tkae photos of all the colors and crowd before the game. I noticed all the press photographers on the ground and felt jelous, so I jumped the fence ( behind all the Stkilda colored ballons) and snuggled up with all the pro photographers.I was in heaven, on the MCG turf before te 1st bounce grand final day, however I was already out of film. So I told the Age photographer that I was with a small local paper on a low buget and was out of film and she kindly gave me one.
I moved around to the wing for the singing of the anthem with all other photographers. I was then approuached by a secutity gaurd who asked for my ID I pretended to be looking for it and he walked on.
I was on the boundry for the 1st one and a half quaters getting great shots ( one of Aussie jones run) till Iwas approuched by the head secruity guard in a suit. this time I was out of luck.
he marched me around the boudry line to the Punt road end and kicked me out, threatening to take my camera.
I then went back to my gate with a ticket but no pass out. A story that I was a doctor called out for an emegency and that I lost my pass out got me back in to watch the rest of the game!!!


I recan that may deserves the cats book.
