Presentation at the gabba

[Big Aus]

At the gabba they announce each player home and opposition before the game as they run out. Usually just one-liners.

My mates got the gig up there of scripting for the announcer - and knowing Im a mad dees fan he's handpassed the job to me to come up with the words to describe each player this week as the boys head up and run out on the gabba

I thought Id throw it out here for you guys if you wanted to come up with something.

If you have any ideas for your favourite dees player...tap something out for us - and if its any good I'll toss it in.

it can be comical, accurate or both

I'll try and tape the audio and replay next week

This should be fun.

#5 - Fresh from his Tour de Force in Europe, the burnout dropping bad boy, Brock McLean.

#7 - Does he play back, does he play forward, does he know how to play? It's Brad Miller!

#9 - He might be injured, unable to run, or get a kick, but he is our only leader, Mr David Neitz.

#24 - The brightest singing talent since Casey Donovan, it's the high-flying-always-falling-down Russell Robertson.

#31 - The greatest NAB Super Goal specialist in AFL history, Paul "60 metre shank" Wheatley.

#41 - I don't know what's worse, his hair or his football ability, maybe you can decide. It's Nathan Carroll.

 

[LondonCalling]

"Lock up your wives and girlfriends, hide the blunt objects, it's Colin Sylvia!"

[2 Dogs]

'The newest addition to the Melbourne line-up, number #39!!'

 

[Supermercado]

His nickname is the Russian, and he plays like one. It's Mark Jamar.

 

[Pjkimber]

She may have sung queen of hearts but he is most certainly the King! Its Micheal "Juice" Newton!

 

[CowboyFromHell]

"He's a homo and a ranga sir, it's Matthew Bate!"

 

[CaptainDavey]

The brother from another mother, Aaron Davey

 

[demonfan9]

And making his way to the ring, weighing in at 320 pounds, from Death Valley...THE UNDERTAKER!

AKA Chris Johnson

 

[RandB]

When he's not pwning Rocca, he's playing a shocka - Ben Holland.

Assuming he actually plays of course.

 

[CaptainDavey]

If the Final Countdown doesn't get a mention then I'll be mighty upset

 

[Pjkimber]

I think you have no option BUT to be a homo if you are a bloodnut!

Brilliant.

#41 - I don't know what's worse, his hair or his football ability, maybe you can decide. It's Nathan Carroll.

Pure gold.

 

[omit]

#23 - at 32 years old, of all the people with ironic nick names he's one of them! it's James "Junior" Mcdonald

 

[The Great Gabsby]

I'll be at this game, I'll keep my ears open for any interesting descriptions at the intro.

Apparently all players will be in attendance at the post match function. If they put in another insipid display, they're liable to get lynched. Although I can't see that worrying them as there's all of about 3 Dee's fans in Brisbane.

 

[Big Aus]

It's all going in!

Thanks for having a crack fellas its given me a few ideas at least

I will be there too mate trying to focus on the positives and not the score line Hopefully Valenti gets a run. Is the post match function at the German Club as usual?

 

[Marns]

Fresh out of the Year 9 weights session, Cale Morton!

Yet another number the MCC members have to remember, this time, it's number 44!

May as well put him in the B.O.G now...it's Paul Wheatley!

 

[The Great Gabsby]

Yeah I tried that last year but when we were 45-0 at quarter time there weren't too many positives. Oh well, onwards and upwards i say

Pineapple Hotel, just up the road.

Yeah I was there for that game too - pulling positives out of games like that sometimes gets down to "at least their not 50 points up at quarter time" - a real stretch

GOLD!!!

 

[melbournemartin]

Can you explain how it works exactly? Does each player have to run out onto the ground 1 by 1? Man that'd get so annoying for the fans that go there every second week you reckon?
