Opinion O'Shanassy Street

Let's write a book together

QUOTE]
Good idea !

 

[Twinkletoes]

Not as such, but am working on it

Good start by you, writing a footy tactics book with a (nipple) twist.

 

[Le Grille]

I am happy to give either of you the rights to ghostwrite my memoir "campaigners I've Known: An eon on BigFooty"

Yeah good one. Again.

Good on you for finding some way to finish every one of those pieces in a positive way. Its one of the reasons what you do is really good. The writing is so nice to read, the humour is ... so necessary this year

and funny as. The way you paint those pictures with words is at gift.

But what's truly .... great, i guess, is even after a weekend like that you can write in a way that is positive and finds then celebrates some good about the team.

That is what really makes it worthwhile.

If you stick at it and keep writing with such passion then in the next few years I hope (and am confident that) lots of North supporters and more than a few others will read your stuff. Especially once we start challenging again. If things turn out as they should we won't be down for long but i'm glad I was here to read O'Shanassay Street when we were.

it helps me keep my head up. Thanks.

Pretty much explained how i feel after reading it,i was in hysterics reading the last one and felt alot better afterwards just like every other one.

Fantastic reading as usual SM, so many gold nuggets scattered throughout, as others have said, you have a gift, thanks for sharing

I wish I had found a picture on the internet that resembled the unicorn analogy.

Only 2 more reports to go...

Round 21 - in which we celebrate that although Hawthorn may have had Josh Gibson's best playing days we had his best hair days.

Great again SM. I'm amazed how you find the time to speak in such detail about everything from fads to individual players and game moments. You have a talent old boy!

Great read again SM. It was as though I was at your place watching the telly with tazos.

Many would call it good old fashioned shite talking

Hey SM, Have you thought about combining each of the weekly blogs into a book similar to what the Footy Almanac do with their weekly game reports at the end of each season?

I have thought about it. Am also considering converting them to podcast form over the off season.

These have really helped me remain composed in this rebuilding year, especially during the Long bleak periods that have comprised the second half of our season. Kudos, and please continue! Agree they should definitely be compiled somewhere/how.

 

[shniko11]

I shall be reading it before i call it a night and no doubt laughing/crying myself to sleep.

 

[muttley45]

Excellent reading as usual SM, your mention of Browny with a ginger handlebar mo immediately brought old mate Abraham from the Walking Dead to mind :

 

[SMaturin]

I actually miss hacky sacks

 

[ferball]

Unreal again.

Compilation for sure.

If you are seriously considering a book, you could do worse than get in touch with Almanac head honcho John Harms. The Almanac itself is just part of their output; they're interested in all sorts of fan writing and they have access to a whole bunch of publishing infrastructure - editors, printers, distribution, an existing audience - that could make your life easier. They might view it as a bit too niche but you won't know if you don't ask.

Spotted in Burnley.

Second last for the season.

Round 22 - in which one Roo left forever and it didn't bother me at all

This. This. This.

Every day I’m proud to support North Melbourne. A club who can, without reserve, think of Napper and be content with the answer they give themselves.

 

[SMaturin]

If anyone has read any of the Napper books, share the love. I don't expect anyone to have read them.

If this eventuates, can you do the podcasts after a few drinks in your best Orson Welles voice?

Honestly, you're not far off. My brother is a voice actor, am thinking of getting him involved.

Love it grew up at North/West Melb'.
