Rodney Dangerfield
Doesn’t matter
Having lurked among the several hundred thousand media threads of seasons past without actually doing one, and then being inspired by the single most amazing SFA performance I have ever seen has prompted me to provide a most original idea- Player of the week.
No great surprise that this weeks nominee is of course willo who absolutely took the piss out of the Dragons and the entire competition with an incredible 40 touches, 14 hitouts and 4 goals 3 behinds to power the Roys to a massive win and sound an ominous warning to the rest of the competition in doing so.
willo was not keeping anything in the closet when I invited him to the Bushwood Country Club for an ale and a chat.
When asked whether or not his form and the form of the Roys consequently had taken him by surprise the big man just stared over a half pint of Pure Blonde, pondered for a moment and then put it down because he knew it was too much to scull.
"mmm nice questch Rod, You know I think there is no substitute for hard work and.... well.. you know"
I didn't know.
Awkward silence.
A little emotional now he added "You know... um... Greg always used to say head down and bum up Willo_ and the rewards will come".
Of course! I felt awful and scolded myself for not realizing. Greg of course was the former partner of willo and is of course fellow SFA combatant GWBogan who had ruthlessly brought the public glare to their rather acrimonious split in 2014.
"He really hurt me Rod... but he always had great pearls of wisdom like that and for that I am very thankful. Brace yourself was another one that has really held me in good stead in the Ruck".
Still though there is a twinkle in the eye of the Roys superstar that suggests that the competition could well be on the end of some serious punishment if he stays locked in.
" We expect to win every game this year Rodney and we are pretty sure we can, we have a really easy one this week up against the Hawks who have guys like Wacky Tiger who wishes he could be in me, I mean be me,be me!! .. Oh gosh.. he wants to be me! So I think already we are more focused than they are."
Certainly seems to me that Willo_ means business this season and will be well worth watching.
Congratulations big guy on a wonderful Round one performance. Anything further to add?
"Round 11 can't come quick enough, I'm going to get that c..." That'll do, Thanks for your time willo, and again great effort.
