OUT OF BOUNDS #4 - Omeo, Omeo, Wherefore Art Thou Omeo?
Good things come back to you. A person might leave, for instance, a Fitzroy scarf at a barbie last August, and then you bump into the certain party from the barbecue and they say, ‘Hey, I’ve got your footy scarf. The Brisbane one.’ So you go around and pick it up.
It’s a pity it comes back on a stinking hot day.
No one is talking about it but the heat is taking it’s toll.
Andrew Jarman had a good pre-preseason before he broke down this week. Yes, Virginia, according to the luminaries at Channel 7, there is a pre-preseason. That’s the season before the preseason. Apparently we’re in the preseason now. It’s in the Melways.
Maybe that’s why the Man Who Survived A Falling Pane Of Glass and King have taken it upon themselves to start picking on runners and the Medical Profession. Actually, I can understand the Medical Profession bit. Then again, King might’ve been upset that he would have had to change his name if we became a republic.
Essendon’s doldrums are mysterious; as mysterious as Andrew McGauran, the federal MP for Gippsland, ending up with 70 Pokie licenses in Altona. Is this some National Party idea of community service?
Why doesn’t he support local Gippsland footy. God knows, it’s up the spout. You know if you go to the Omeo show…
Bring Traralgon back to the VFA, the VFL, or whatever it’s called this week. The La Trobe Valley needs something to smile about. Why can’t they play a pre-preseason around the country? Maybe they could play last years comp in the bush, like they do with re-runs of Home And Away on Prime TV?
Like I said, good things come back to you.
St Kilda bounced back against a struggling Weagles outfit, about which I withdraw all me previous estimation and replace it with a crate of last month’s leftover chicken guts.
Adelaide bumbled there way to eclipse Footscray. Whilst South Melbourne drew a healthier, even more innocuous crowd to the Manuka Madhouse.
‘Well played!’ and, ‘Nice catch!’ remarked the crowd to each other as the Bloods stung the Same Olds at their own game plan - which is kicking more goals than the opposition. While in a spiteful affair the Tarcutta Kangaroos outmuscled a feisty Collingwood.
At Brunswick Street North the Fitzroy Bears pumped a hapless and directionless Carlton. The Blues haven’t been quite the same since the death of Bob Santamaria. I think their problems are of spiritual proportions.
Geelong was the first team Port Adelaide ever beat, and the Party Pies kept that tradition alive on Saturday night to book themselves into the Semi Finals of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority Cup.
On Sunday it was a bloodbath as Richmond pumped Freo, who were about as useful as that personalised credit card application form that Citibank sent us earlier this week.
Later on the Mayblooms mirrored that performance against a disintegrating Demons outfit.
In the practice matches a dour affair is forecast as the Essendon Oranges take on the Fuschias at Pretty Park.
There’s a corker of suburban footy at the Western Oval at 2pm this Saturday as a surprising Coburg-Richmond Tigers outfit answer the Call Of The Ticker against everybody’s favourite mum, Footscray. No doubt Andrew McGauran will be barracking side by side with the good people of Altona.
Another pearler is the South Melbourne v Collingwood clash in Newcastle. I’ll have to save the story of young Cinder Fred from the Blast Furnace Department of the BHP in Newcastle for another time. Great place Newcastle, it deserves footy.
Fremantle give Geelong some frequent flier points and there’s something in Adelaide. It might be football, it might not. Who can tell?
On Sunday Carlton have their traditional trip up the Calder, hosting the Saints this time around, who should win with time to stop and celebrate at the Woodend pub on the way back. The Bendigo Diggers in the VFL have been getting pretty chummy with Carlton lately. But then again, who would have thought Williamstown would have left Preston at the church when they got into bed with Collingwood.
The inexorable Semis of the CASA Cup have everybody on the edge of their seats, about to leave. The Fitzroy Bears can, and will, knock over a Croadless Hawkers outfit at Brunswick Street North; while everyone’s favourite insolvent, the North Melbourne Wanderers will probably be overextended by a Port Adelaide outfit that’s gone berserk.
The undefeated Lagermorph kicked a few goals at the Rising Sun last Sunday, and will be backing up in the ruck this Thursday night at the Empress of India Hotel in Nicholson Street North Fitzroy. It’s a fundraiser for the East Timor Football League and should be a good night, but if you really want to know how to have a wild weekend check this out http://www.afl.com.au/news/story_213972.htm

Dear Phil,
I have a theory that A.F.L. is a renegade form of Rugby Union. Rugby League and Rugby Union will soon amalgamate. I would ask you, could A.F.L.? If it did we would have a football empire which would stretch from the Indian to the Pacific Ocean and last 1000 years...
