Sherriff, I've thought long and hard about a poet for Travis. It's got to be a tragedian. Trav's the quintessential tragic hero, flaw and all (goal kicking = hamartia), and although I believe he'll overcome that in a timely manner, he needs a poet who can handle his epic qualities.

It was a toss-up between Shakespeare and Marlowe. I've gone for Marlowe, who once penned a play about an eastern despot entitled, Travis the Great. It included these lines:

Forsake thy club, and do but join with me, And we will triumph over all the world. I hold the Fates bound fast in iron chains, (Read Pies' fate)And with my hand turn Fortune's wheel about; And sooner shall the sun fall from his sphere Than Collingwood be slain or overcome.


Question for Invigoration, Sunnnytee, The Panther, Nardz, didak04, Timmy from Thomastown, Football God, Conodie05, Smiddaz 123, Amber Guzzler, Vampire 13, Lockyer 24, Bert 1 or any of our other boundary riders who habitually patrol the Troll-lands of Bay 13.

Is Collingwood's success making it harder or easier for you to do your valuable work atm?
 
What say you Snag?

Uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The super combo of footy and poetry is too much for me.:eek: MAGNIFICENT! And the pics are perfect too.

Where can we put them???????

Signatures, every second post in the main board... but def. not Bay 13 tho as I fear a hostile audience :D
 
How can I get any or all of those intoa sig? Can you include images?

What's higher than Platinum on BF? Titanium?

Wait 'til Pie eyed sees them.

I imagine just using the [ IMG ] tags

e.g.

[ IMG ]http://202.131.93.210/pie-poets-3.jpg[ /IMG ] (without the spaces in front/behind of the brackets)

They're numbered pie-poets-1.jpg, pie-poets-2.jpg etc...

Ok - trying now. But which to choose?
 
...All very good.

Are these from a template or did you make them youself? (left in for Daveness)..

TEMPLATE?!? :mad: All hand done, sir - flying the flag for handmade, crafted design. With the right copy, I don't have to try too hard :thumbsu:

P.S. Doesn't Leroy look like a classic movie villain?

I can't see the words - can't you do it in gold leaf?

We need a entire thread devoted to these, maybe in the Nest? We should do one for every player.

I think you need to copy and paste that [ IMG ] code I had into where you'd popped your "On a windswept 'G..." text.

Love to make the full set of 22... but how will you go for finding appropriate verse?

Not to mention who to fit in and leave out ;)

Awesome effort btw guys. If you're keen to start a new thread on them feel free to do so on the front page. It's still footy related so no probs there. It would get more exposure.

It could be entitled "An Ode to the boys" (just a suggestion)

I'm not sure 'Ode' is techinically correct but it sums up the noble and dignified sentiment.

Ah...righteous indignation...and rightfully so.:D
A man from my own heart.

Carry on Marshall.:thumbsu:

He looks more like Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre, which is better.

But also need the haiku - using the Full Pies Poetry Press.:thumbsu:

Among my many useless skills, I can find a verse for anything.

I'd love to do one for each team member. We've got until Grand Final Day, after all.:)

They won't only be odes. I think it should be The Full Pies Poetry Press.

Given the day that's in it, I've done one for MM.

Mick Malthouse a la Pope
He sees with equal eye, as God of all,
A Medhurst stumble, or a Didak fall,
Structures or systems into ruin hurled,
When Collingwood ignites the footy world.

And this for.........


The Shit-Down Defence (also Pope)
A Godlike Race of Heroes we behold,
Fierce band of brothers, bright and bold!
Led by a Chief to match Achilles’ Fame,
Nick the bold, great Maxwell is his Name.



I thought the cerebral Pope with his contolled structures suited the above.
 
Leroy, to me, is akin to a medieval unhooded executioner. Shows no mercy to the condemned ones.
All we are missing is his axe!

Gulp glad he plays for us.

PS - lovely work Sherriff!
