We’ve given all sorts of spuds an award of some kind over the years.

How come I don’t have an award? I’m 100 percent potato. My best weeks and everyone else’s are when I don’t post at all. That kind of spuddy effort shouldn’t be ignored.

 

[cooney]

That new thread smell!! Looking forward to S27!

I plan to post the records we set in the Grand Final each week.

If you smelllll what the yakker is cooking

Unfortunately Logger wrote a highly unusual by-law into our constitution that said we can't give awards to starchy vegetables. I was surprised as you are.

How about starchy vegetables in pastry?

Hi cooney. I'm back.

Remember all the fun we used to have?

Showers... Dark... The soap drops... 'splash' and a legend is born.

*asking for a distant relative.

Why are you asking this question? Why am I having this conversation? Everyone knows that there is no chance of any award going to a Cornish Pasty. Even your leafy greens type pastries like a Spanakopita aren’t likely to win awards. But definitely not Cornish pasties. I would be more likely to give an award to a chiko roll - and even that is highly unlikely.

So what, I was hiding in the showers to get a cheeky glimpse! I'm assured the restraining order on Tony Lynn 15 has lapsed.

You obviously haven’t had a good spanakopita.

I’ve had some absolutely excellent spanakopita. My quarrel is that even the best spanakopita, while brilliant as a snack or even a main course accompanied by a decent Greek salad, is unlikely at any point to produce a high quality match performance in terms of disposals, accuracy and scoring power. I mean how many times have you ever really witnessed a spinach-based food product dominate a match or really hurt the opposition? In fact, food generally struggles at the highest levels in sport.

Did Tom Mitchell win the Brownlow last year or was it won by a medium bowl of Tabbouli?

See? Case closed.

 

[cats2rise]

I just read ‘quarrel’ as ‘squirrel’ and was ever so confused until a I read your post a second time.

I would also like to contest your argument about food in sport. Have you not ever been to a hotdog eating contest? Or how about jelly wrestling?

And your argument about Tom Mitchell is also flawed as it’s based on output of a single season. Let’s see who is more damaging this year out of Mitchell and Tabouli. I reckon Tabouli can easily match Tom Mitchell for games played this season, and may in fact have more damaging disposals.

Tabouli has been known to be damaging in the back half

Two adults are trying to have a conversation here, Yak.

Now you’re just being silly. I’m afraid neither hotdogs nor jelly ever come out ahead in either of those sports. The just get digested or flopped about on respectively. Claiming them as active participants in a sport is like tipping a section of grass in the goal square at the Adelaide Oval to lead the coaches votes at the bye.

However, I really really hope you get offered a role in Geelong’s recruitment team. I look forward to seeing you attempt to trade Selwood for two dim sims and a punnet of cherry tomatoes.

Fried or steamed? Because I reckon steamed with some soy sauce would be pretty handy rotating through the square.

I can see the appeal, but it’s a solid fact that neither fried nor steamed dim sims have at any point made a name for themselves as two-way runners. Literally they are the last food product that Geelong should be targeting. Mind you, they could replace a good number of their best 22 with vanilla without anyone being the wiser

Robbed I tells ya!
