When Travie turned Franklin into frankfurts:

Remember the context of this: Buddy had pretty much done this at will the previous week and scored Goal of the Week for one of those charges.

Then this!

Buddy seems to have dropped this particular act from his repertoire since this.

He nailed him 3 rows directly in front of me, and ... well ... I was certainly laughing!

Reminded me of the the Hawthorn Match in 2009. Hawks score the first goal of the 4th Q leaving them 28 points up, Mark McClure (ABC radio Grandstand) says words to the effect:

'Geelong are gone, they haven't got a hope in hell'
(and we all know what happened in the end!)

Nearly as funny is Gerard Whateley playing that audio clip every Sunday inquisition since then!

Funny stuff!



And how could I forget the Dasha-Silvagni incident! The Carlton fans were threatening to kill Milburn, and he just replied with a simple laugh and a bit of clapping. The injury wasn't funny, but Dasha's reaction to the mad fans was hilarious!

I can remember two funny incidents involving Geelong players and the bags of balls they have behind the goals.

The first one was against Essendon in Round 1 last year when Mooney dribbled a goal from 35m out and the ball landed in the bag.

Can't remember who we were playing for the second one, but the opposition had kicked a point and Enright had marked the ball and ran into the goal square to kick out. The umpire blew his whistle and told Boris he had to get a ball out of the bag, so Boris runs up to the bag, puts the ball he was holding in the bag, then took it straight out again and went to kick out.

It's not so much a funny moment, but one that I enjoyed, from only this year.

When Joel Corey had to give the ball back to Campbell Brown a few weeks ago and threw it contemptuously into his guts I thought it was magnificent. A universally respected and highly decorated superstar showing barely disguised scorn for a universally despised overrated coward and bully. You could almost see Brown's bottom lip quivering as he wanted to say "but I'm tough, I'm a hard man..."

Great moment.

One of the other really funny moments i remember seeing was just before the start of a Geelong-Collingwood night game at the MCG.
As most of you who get to many of the Cats games would know, Jimmy Bartel has a bit of a pre-game ritual where he kicks one of the training balls to the bench just before the team huddle for their final pre-game address. Well, on this occasion he got on to a torp that flew high and classically through the air before nailing one of the trainers or club officials square on the top of the head. I remember seeing him kick it and instantly thinking it's on target to crack that dude on the boundary. Jimmy turned quickly to huddle with his arms folded and a cheeky grin on his face. I think Chappy was next to him and you could see, even from that long distance away, that they were trying their absolute best not to burst out in tears. I was nearly in tears myself and had a hard time explaining to everyone around me who missed it what just happened because i was laughing that hard.

I believe it has happened more than once as well. That might explain why on the weekend a low drop punt was kicked to the bench by Jimmy before the Dog's game

The reserves curtain raiser back in the late 70s. Alan Woodman is playing CHB and has the ball at CHB. He got pissed off that no one was moving for him up field giving him options so he promptly turned around and kicked it 50 or 60m back through for a point.

In the same era the cheersquad used to walk the boundary at halftime with a blanket stretched out between them for supporters to throw money into. In between silver coins getting piffed in there'd be half eaten pies and half full cans of VB going in too. Used to give me a chuckle.

John Mossop when Geelong first had the solid sides for the banner when Alcoa were sponsoring. The team ran out and Mossop ran straight into one of the solid bits.

And how could I forget the Dasha-Silvagni incident! The Carlton fans were threatening to kill Milburn, and he just replied with a simple laugh and a bit of clapping. The injury wasn't funny, but Dasha's reaction to the mad fans was hilarious!

I remember seeing some of the fallout the next day of that incident with a group of Carlton supporters (including Footy Show favourite 'Barb') confronting Milburn out the front of the ground as he was heading to the team bus. His reply was something like "Have you ever played footy before?" as he kept walking. Wasn't really happy with the whole incident at the time, but I think it sums the Scarlett/Milburn combo up pretty well and I guess it was pretty funny to see his complete indifference to the handful of rabble with nothing better to do in their lives.

Max Rooke's all time top 22 was fantastic.

Matty Scarlett's mad Monday costumes.

Brad Sholl and Ronnie Burns' cartwheels after goals at Kardinia in the late 90s (I think?). Geez...Tredrea would get lynched for doing something like that!

I was just a tacker, but I remember John Barnes' post-game interview after Billy Brownless' goal after the siren in the 1994 QF against Footscray. He was going on about how p*ssed they were going to get that night. Would have been cut off after about three seconds nowadays.

Speaking of Sholl and Brownless, on the 1995 GF Footy Show, they did a cross to Billy's house and Sholl was round there. This was when the hyperbaric chamber had just come into vogue and a few of the Geelong boys were using it. Sholl was asked what happened when the players were in there. His reply was something along the lines of: "I dunno...you just sit in there, read stick books and play cards."

Bomber Thompson eating a salad roll while the team demolished WCE was pretty funny. As was the glare he gave the camera every time he took a drink or had something to eat thereafter.

Reminded me of the Tim Watson interviews..."Oooookay, mate." Would like to see more of the players carry on the tradition.

The players acting the fool during the team song was good value, but what was really funny was that they'd been doing it for about a year before the media got wind of it.

Great moment.

That was beause Brown had put his fingers in Joels eyes earlier in the game. Corey was on the ground for sometime. I also think Corey was aiming a bit lower than his guts.......

One of my fav players (No coincidence my sons middle name is Joel). And Campbell is nothing but a talentless thug IMO.

Agreed. The point was I think it beautifully summed up how much respect most players have for Brown. Or don't have more accurately.

I remember Ricky Barham possibly in about 1980 i think boot the ball over the Moorabool St outer area into Elksworthys....or whatever was there at the time! Gave away the free and a 15 metre penalty as you'd guess.

That second goal by Blake, i recall being there the entire crowd rose and cheered.....Part of me still wonders whether the decision to 'rest' or drop him after that match started his self-doubts. He was actually doing pretty well in 2007 and he did a fine job as the ruckman while King was out for several weeks. One thing is for certain, that was his high point of popularity with the cat faithful.

Actually, in the game against the Dogs the reaction to Scarlett marking and kicking the goal was pretty funny....as was the preceding goal by Stokes when Scarlett gave him a bit of an evil eye for not doing a 'Joe the Goose' handball to him, although in fairness to Stokes he was barely in a position to see that option.

Agree with you about Blake that match, looked very composed, assured and ready to be a player, certainly not needing a rest, as he informed us. They had to get King back in contention somehow. The rest is history.


Anyway, I'll never forget BUDDHA HOCKING on TFS trying to explain the merits of changing his name to WHISKAS, and how earnest he was, even telling us the virtues of this cat food. Combination of ridiculous and serious, and hilarious at the time.

Watching Ronnie Burns on the Sunday Footy Show trying to handball with his right hand in the Handballing comp a number of years ago. Was embarassing and hilarious at the same time.
