Great list Gaso, but I have a small hunch
That you forgot to add in "Punch Frank! Punch!"

Frankie Gumbleton I assume...last I read of him he was a Bus Driver at Echuca.

Pretty sure it's all due to global warming.

 

[The Other Dean]

From week to week it changes.

I blame consistency or lack of

North, or BF posters?

Either way, I agree.

And for the goats from Limerick:

Our Big Footy scapegoaters are pissed
Cos our 2 favorite goats are being missed
Big Taz and JMac
Are loathed to come back
Since escaping to the Injury List

Now lucky there's a new goat in Maj
Who the Duck has awarded the badge
Despite just a 10 gamer
He's a goat hall of famer
All in all seems a little bit trag(ic)

But for scapegoats we've 2 brilliant teachers
The jozeph and of course the Jack Reachers
telling us Hansen and Scott
are the goats with the lot
But best be a goat than 2 leeches.

Sam Wright is a goat thats for sure,
So much more than Blacky or Daw,
Cant kick on the run,
Hardball gets equal none,
Dont think i can take that much more.

oh this is fun

While I should not crack the shits,
Sammy made the omits,
LAs into the team,
Replacement goat it would seem,
Useful like a bull with big ****.

Ok someone needs to stop me now!!!!

Brad cares not what some of you think
He says JMac's shit don't stink
Brad don't care for the naysaying
When J's fit he'll be playing
It's not pencilled in, it's in ink.

Brad says Majak's the cause of our woes
He's hopeless, he'll just have to go
He let Brad down bad and
Made him real mad
It's back to the Bees for you bro.

Drew is Brad's player of choice
He does things for the rest of the boys
While he's not kicking a goal
He's performing his role
And on alternate weeks we all get to rejoice.

Correct you were
Frank it was
Gumbleton of the '77 story
Let me share
As aside with you
I hope you won't find it too boring

It was early on
In the '91 season
The Eagles had come on over
They were training pre-game
In a park somewhere
In Albert or Fawkner or wherever

Some footy fans
Who had noticed them
Took it as a lark
To get near the group
And as Sumich got close
Gave yells that filled the park

Your fault they cried
That Collingwood flag
All because of that draw
Sumich the villan
They surmised
His tying kick had opened the door

The Eagle surprised
He had not expected
The fans to remember his role
It was a new season
"I thought they'd forgotten"
Who helped the Pies flag with that goal

The article skipped
To a pre-season story
About Gumbleton helping at Roos training
Some fans there
Had the same idea
But in fun the yells they were raining

'77 had gone
A long time ago
But the fans were a memorable bunch
Remmebering Twiggy
And the defender behind
As they laughed and yelled "Punch Frank! Punch"

He took it well
But knew that a loss
Would've made the digs a lot worse yet
The reporter then stated
"Peter Sumich take note
Football fans NEVER forget!!!"

Looks nice and shiny. Will it get me into the Victory Room after our next home game?

Im of the opinion where you find goats there's typically a shepherd!!

Scapegoats, a poem:

The forwards struggle when it's in the air
And Currie's no good when it hits the ground
Oh Lindsay flops and ducks like he don't care
And Majak simply runs around and round
Just like a young Giraffe - you can't say that!
You'll cop it from the damn PC brigade
But in the op'ning quarter they're so flat
It's like they didn't listen when Brad laid
His plans out for the game on Thursday night
Plan A at least seemed such a good idea
But opposition mids give them a fright
They meekly turn and take it in the rear
Consistency! Where art thou fickle friend?
They'll miss the 8 and drive us round the bend!

There you go, a frickin sonnet in iambic pentameter. Last line's shite but it's the best I could do. I'll see if I can come up with something in Sapphic stanzas, but they're ridiculously hard in English.
