[gilbeegurl]

how old are you?

 

[Hellgood]

Don't they usually come out every June/July anually?

Anyway, I used to read them, but I don't think there hasn't been a game where he hasn't taken at least 10 speccies and kicked the winning goal after the siren

how old are you?

five

Bump, they mentioned it a couple of weeks ago on the footy show, is there another one coming out soon???

"Specky had a poor game; only the six goals and three screamers to his name. He went home and cried."

I'm awaiting the final few books in which he gets drafted to Melbourne and ends up a major disappointment.

 

[ioppolo]

They still publish these? I was reading them about 10 years ago.

 

[BALKAN]

He dies at the end.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Read that

Even as a 10-year old these things were the biggest turds to read. Appalling shit.

Used to really shit me that we had to read Hamlet and The Great Gatsby in Year 12 instead of this literary classic.

If they're still publishing these, wouldn't he be playing AFL by now? Must not be as good as he thought.... or he never ages.

Or maybe he's a fictional character.

EDIT: Nah, too unlikely.

 

[Atch]

Wait so your telling me Specky Magee is in fact Jeremy Howe??? If this is true when he gets drafted to melbourne in the next book i expect him to break down crying knowing his dreams of becoming an AFL superstar are over.

I meant in the books.

So much hate for specky, i

And do you mind telling me what timeless classics of literature you were reading at ten years old champ? I would be interested to know what great pieces of work would live up to your extremly harsh 10 year old self critique?

How weird is it how Specky meets that female Richmond supporter on an online chatroom? Why would you add that into a children's novel?

Silent Alarm loves to be different.

Silent Alarm is right. Those books were very uninspiring. If more kids got into reading because of them then great, but to me they were ordinary.

The Asian one? What was her name again? Chris?

Great books, read them until I was about 13. Not very well written, but how many normal 8-13 year olds care?

I don't think I ever read them for inspiration.

Were just a typical kids novel

Uninspiring as in they weren't page turners or particularly memorable.
