Universal Love Old Bull, Young Buck

It’s time for this ripper of a podcast to have its own thread
Look forward to this every Wednesday/Thursday with new guests with cracking stories. Mundy and Logue are great at this

This week was Shaun McManus. Well worth a watch. Man, just want Fremantle to win a premiership for these Freo Alumini- Macca is as passionate as they come.

How good was Shaun? What a ripper of a bloke.

Some great stories and took the piss out of himself as well. A cracker episode

Good call.

Yes the McManus pod was a ripper. Some great stories in there*. The previous pod with Blake Acres was excellent, too.

*Macca doing a runner at Woolies leaving honest Andy Brayshaw to pay for his groceries. LolWTF Shaun.

Might have to invest in some OBYB merch'.

I want the black hoodie that Mundy is wearing. Might be OoS.

This week's chat with Shaun was my favourite one yet. If Mundy ever can't make it to the podcast I'd love for Shaun to take over.

Maybe in a couple of years when David decides to retire they can interview Barra as a guest instead of a host.

I was just looking at Shaun's history the other day on the back of a couple of posters arguing about the merits of his football.

Don't know if it comes up in the discussion as I haven't got to viewing the podcast yet, but one interesting thing I saw was that when Shaun did his knee the first time in a Round 3 derby in 1997 he had polled a 3 and a 2 in the Brownlow in first two games of the season.

He got a horrid time from many Freo supporters on game day, despite his insane bravery and passion for the club. Lots of abuse and many comments about him wearing clown shoes. Seemed he got a lot of the blame for our lack of success, the Freo crowd were not great to him. Thankfully we have got better.

He was the best player of the 95-01 era which was a hopeless time for the club. I enjoyed that period as a kid, but the frustration of McManus's kicking being all over the shop got too long in the tooth by the time we were trying to be a serious contender.

 

[stax on the mull]

Liked that he mentioned he used to like to fly for a few marks. The knee injuries robbed him of a bit of spring. Actually can remember Dunstall (when he was still a player) talking about being surprised by Shaun's marking ability on one of those weekend review football programs.

He also had a candy sell in the early days that was really subtle. He'd bounce the ball and the oncoming opposition player would be sidestepped with a bit of a shimmy.

I know he wasn't always the best of kicks. The first time I saw him was in a pre-season WAFL game. There were two EF players starring that I hadn't seen before and they both looked (to my mind) like surfy dudes. Shaun McManus and Justin Sanders. They both had youth and energy and got a stack of the ball - then was one moment where Mcmanus miskicked it to Sanders on the lead and the ball got to him in circular grubber trajectory and Sanders picked it up perfectly then shanked his kick out of bounds.

Worst one being JL I am the resident JL stan around here but he’s too awkward for this

Interesting, my knowledge was that he was a fan favourite, certainly was around my neck of the woods

Mascot always seemed to be based on him and Clive (was brought up in the poddy) especially the original mascot reminded me of McManus (post grinder and pre Johnny and Jenny doc)

 

[Wilksyy]

This episode was a beauty. I'll always remember that shirt front by Wirra and him getting up and kicking the goal. Not the most skilful player but tough as nails.

McManus is a fan favourite and even more so with his media career. Unfortunately he always had a very vocal minority of Freo people who spent the whole game waiting for a skill error to unload on him (even after a great game to that point). We all acknowledge that Freo teams, in the past, have been less skilful than others and we all get frustrated by skill errors but a braver and more Freo player you could not get than Shaun.

Favourites in order

1. Tommy Sheridan - quality banter and stories
2. Brayshaw - good mix of humour, freo info and me being a fanboy
3. Darcy - Big darce is actually very eloquent, pretty funny/goofy, and a quality person
4. Pavlich - just coz its pav and great stories
5. Tabs - Great to hear his side of the story to all the tabs stories

Also great to see Mundy and Logue down at the club during the bye not off partying in Bali

Me too.

Glad to see this thread, sat back with a couple of beers and enjoyed the banter, great to get some insight from within the club and hear a few stories… JL always the first to hit the bar, and that kidnapping by the serial kidnapper (can’t remember who) of Troy Cook was hilarious, can just imagine it

Would love a Clive interview!
