Entries received for 6 May 2000 - What would supporters yell out to particular players this weekend?
|
Dear Coodabeens,
As a regular attender of Carlton matches it has to be said that any time Carlton's Ron DeLulio( I think that's how you spell his name) gets the ball a number of comments can be heard from the Carlton Football public and Member alike. Some of these heard in the Elliot stand over the last 2-3 years include: * "Don't bounce it!" after many a game of bouncing the ball down the wing at Optus Oval and the ball bouncing over his head! * "Don't kick it to DeLulio!" mostly from kick ins from Full Back! * "Ah it's The Ronny Show" after Ron missed 2 goals directly in front of the Robert Heatly stand in succession and only 20 metres out. * "Oh no DeLulio's in " as a late minute inclusion into the side. * "DeLulio played well in the Reserves," followed by, * " They'll play him against Melbourne" in reference to Ron's probable inclusion against Melbourne to curtail Jeff Farmer as a result of his tagging game on him last year! Thank you Peter Begley. What are you doing? Kick the bloody thing!! Get into the game Ronnie! Drag him Bomber Bloody hell Burns, pass the bloody ball. Alternatively: RONNIE you champion Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, Rooooonnnniiiiieeeee!!!!! GOAL.................. Glenn I haven't heard it for a few weeks but I'm sure I'll hear it this Saturday in the later stages of the Richmond v Collingwood clash. Player Wayne Campbell gets the easy handball from Player Andrew Kellaway in a messy pack at centre half back for the Tigers. Player Campbell in the clear gets away a quick toe-poke to no-one in particular on centre wing. From the standing room section Bay 24, AFL members terrace, Great Southern Stand comes that mystery bellow. "You'll never see the inside of a hospital Campbell" Warren Sampson -Elongated "Yeeeeeeeeeessssss "!!!!!! - after your team has been on the wrong end of a free kick drought. -"Which frequent flyer program are you in "? (Said to player renowned as a passenger) -After the umpire pays an outrageous decision to your team. The opposition supporters go wild yelling out all sorts of abuse. You wait until this abuse has died down and then affectionately call out " Good decision Dad ". -"What's his name ..... Barabas ?" ( said to umpire about favoured player from opposing team whom the umpire has NOT been crucifying. -"He's been doing it all day and all season" (said in the opening minute of the first Ansett cup game) -"Great game" - insert name of under performing highly paid recruit - That's about 10,000 dollars a kick ". -"Kick it, Kick IT, KICK It, KICK IT.... (said in ever increasing decibells and desperation) from Paul Russo/John Clements (3366 faction) BOYS Take your pick from these : =============================== As Stefan Carey breaks through a pack to kick a goal for the Lions.............."Ahhhhhh we got the good Carey !" As the Swans tall, key forward recruited from the West Coast over the Summer gets caught with the footy red hot.......... "Bawwwllll !" As Michael Braun just misses getting cleaned up by a rampaging Hawk defender............"Phew, that was a close shave" An inspired moveby Terry Wallace to move Simon Garlick to one-out in the goal square results in 3 quick goals....... "Garlick's added a bit of spice to the forward line" As Fraser Brown racks up his 40th possession early in the last quarter, an opposition supporter is heard to utter...... "Haven't you got an anger management class you should be at !?" As Alistair Lynchboots his 7th early in the last quarter, an opposition supporter is heard to utter...... "Aren't you due for your afternoon lie-down" Ben Graham takes a mark deep in the back pocket...... "Have a shot !!" Warren Tredrea lines up for goal 25 metres out directly in front ....... "This could go anywhere !!!" At the SCG, Jude Bolton, the blond-haired number 24 for the Swans kicks deep into attack...... "Well done Luffy !!" Tim Watson in looking for a match-up for Scott Camporeale. He has tried 3 opponents already but to no avail, his next choice is the Saints number 32..... "If at first you don't succed, try, try, Traianidis" After a succession of handballs by any team threatens to turn the ball over.... "Kick the bloody ball !!!!!" As Chris Grant wins his 4th free kick in the 1st quarter, opposition supporters yell ....... "Ahhhh, ya can't touch 'im !!!!!" St Kilda v Carlton, Matthew Lappin misses an easy shot for goal. Saints fans roar....... "That's we got rid of ya !!!!" Clinton King kicks a miraculous goal for the Tigers against Collingwood......... "God, King, you never did that hen you were with us!!!!" Collingwood's Ben Johnson gets caught from behind attempting a bounce......... "Gee, he's slowed down since the Los Angeles Olympics"..... to which his mate replies..... "Yeah, and he's obviously not well either..... he's looking very pale." Clint Bizzell re-kindles memories of Garry ablett in Geelong supporters....... "Ya know, the only problem with Gary Ablett is that he thinks is Clint Bizzell !" Steven King takes a big strong mark in the forward line....... "Gee, hasn't he put on some size since that Melbourne Cup ride on Let's Elope !!!"....... to which his mate replies....... "yeah, and I can't work out where he finds the time to write all those books !!!" The Hawks number 17 has leather poisoning from winning so much of the ball. An opposition supporter screams...... "Who's picking up Chick ????" Richard Champion puts in a less than impressive display ...... "Champion by name, Average by nature." Paul Hudson threads a gole from 45 meteres out on the boundary .............. "Gee, if you had to have a player kick for goal to save your life, you'd pick Huddo wouldn't you !!!!" West Coast Eagle Jaxon Crabb gets pole-axed by a stray Hawthorn elbow........ "That's what you get for spelling your name with an 'X' !!!!" Fraser Gehrig gets up the nose of an opposition player........ "I think I'd rather be called a rapist than be told I look like Jerry Seinfeld !" Western Bulldog Jim Plunkett gets reported fpr a particularly nasty incident, raising the ire of opposition supporters...... "'ave a good weekend for the next 6 weeks Mr. Plunkett !!!" James McDonald (the 3rd brother to play AFL football) features in a nice bit of play for the Demons. A Melbourne supporter turns to his mate ......... "You know, the best one's still back on the farm !!!" A St. Kilda supporter suggests....... "Move Plapp to full-forward, we need some height up there."....... to which his mate responds (after looking up his Footy Record).......... "He's only 189cm, you know!"............ "Yeah, but he plays tall !!!!!" Two West Coast supporters shake their heads smugly as David Wirrpunda repels another attack....... "How did those Victorians ever let him go !!!????" Mark West bullocks his way out of a pack, to which an infrequent footy follower enquires..... "I thought Derek Kickett retired a few years ago !!!!" Dale Lewis kicks a typically laconic goal.......... "Imagine how good he'd be if he actually tried !!!!!" Daryn Cresswell misses an easy shot for goal ........... "they ought to dislocate your other knee, Cresswell !!!!" Darren Bewick has a shot for goal from 50 meteres out while an unattended Matthew Lloyd stands arms waving wildly in the goal square....... "That's unlike to Bewick to have shot !" Max Hudghton looks disappointed after another opposition goal........ "Do you want my hanky, Maxy ???" At grounds around Australia teammates will be mentioned in pairs in some common (but unexplainable association)..... such as...... At St Kilda - Justin Peckett and Matthew Young....... at Essendon - Lloyd and Lucas.......... at the Bulldogs - Liberatore and Romero......... at Essendon - Mercuri and Misiti........... at St Kilda - Smith, Brown and Jones..............At Freeo - Callaghan and Toia............ At North - Carey and McKernan............At Melbourne - Neitz and Schwarz..............At Port - Meade and Lade..........At St Kilda - Harvey and Burke............At West Coast - Jakovich and McKenna...........At the Bulldogs - Basd Johnson and Rohan Smith And a couple of hypotheticals..... ========================== If Gladstone Small was playing and missed out on being paid a free kick for a high tackle, a supporter could be heard to say......."What about his neck??? Hasn't he got a neck ????" If the AFL released a series of stickers a-la Footy Cards, would the most sought after card be a "Schwass Sticker" Mark Giuliano Comments made about Richmond players and their kicking abilities from the people who really know - the Tiger faithful ... Richo (20m out, dead in front) - "Could go anywhere" Benny Gale (after a mark in the goalsquare) - "Could go anywhere" Duncan Kellaway (after a free in the backline and looking upfield, ready to pass) - "Could go anywhere" Andrew Kellaway (after a mark in the middle and going back to take his kick) - "Could go anywhere" Darren Gaspar (streaming through centre half-back and kicking on the run) - "Could go anywhere" Said after all of them have kicked ... "Told you!" Jeff From Kilsyth aka Jeff Salton Dear Coodabeens, Being a long-time Essendon supporter, I was at the recent Anzac Day clash at the MCG and I noticed a new "kid" in an Essendon jumper who had trouble finding teammates with his kicking during the first half. I assume he was new at the club, as I could not recognise his face from last year's side, although he looked to have some ability as he always managed to get the ball around the ground, even if he always kicked it to an opposition jumper, much to our chagrin and annoyance, until he was dragged from the ground during the second quarter and we could read the number on his back. A quick search through the list provided in the 'Record' gave him as number 5, one James Hird. I note that his kicking did improve in the second half, enough to impress one R.D. Barassi to vote him best afield and award him the Anzac Medal. Jason McArthur Dear Coodabeens, In compiling this weeks entry for your competition I tried as hard as I could to stay away from naming ex players but I had to get one off my chest. Every time Kieran Sporn got the ball for the Bombers, around the windsock at Windy Hill went up the cry "Kick it High Kieran" which was followed by murmurs of ( Geez, he's a Dud!) Todays players are treated similarly, some good, some bad. Heres the way I see it. Essendon Supporters James Hird........Golly, its good to have him back. (cleaned up for the kiddies) Dean Wallis.....Dont Bork him Wally, Dont......No......Wally. Jesus Wally, Dont Friggin try to Bork him! Matty Lloyd (The Grannys) Dont Ya just love him! (The Girls) Gee, I just love him so much (the Boys) Hope I grow up like him (The Wives) Why dont you look like that 'insert husbands name here' (The Hubbies, Grandpa's, 16/40 Single Men) Lloydie, LLOYDIE..............WooooooooooeHOEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE (ala Peter Daicos) Thanks for looking at my entry and I look forward to next weeks show. I like the web page and got a good laugh out of the St Kilda/Mc Donald's comparison from last week. Have a great show Kevin Nolan (The 'Bump Terry Daniher up from King to God' Squad Dear Coodabeens, Before accusations start arriving that I'm trying to gain unfair advantage by buttering up Simon, let me pre-empt the attack by saying, "I'm insulted." You call that buttering up? That wasn't buttering up. That was an appropriate mark of respect to one of only two people born who deserve it, the other having sadly passed away at the hands of Pontius Pilate. Buttering up would be futile. Simon has too much integrity and decency to be so easily swayed. His sense of fair play and wisdom testify to the fruitful way he journeys through life, only equalled by his eloquence, humanity, dignity and intelligence. Consequently I'd merely humiliate myself if I tried to butter him up paying fawning tribute to such superior, enlightened and humbly restrained qualities. (Any similarity between the above paragraph and a recent book documenting the Kennett years is purely coincidental.) ***Comments from the crowd about specific players: Scotty Turner "Yeah, well he's just there to add some agro to the backline." Darren Gaspar "Yeah, well he's just there to add some afro to the backline." Also, thanks Covey for the mention re my Noel Mitchell interview (which was when Mike Brady covered an American Pie rip-off song I wrote for an old Coodabeens comp about the last game at Victoria Park.) But actually the opposite of what you said Covey was true. I did mention the Coodabeens on air. I credited you as the reason I wrote the song, but then seemed to suffer for it, as Noel thought I'd written it for HIS show, and a few degrees of warmth I'd enjoyed pre-nod-to-the-Coodabeens, seemed to evaporate post-nod. A similar thing happened when the song was covered with a videoclip on Live and Kicking the same week. Before the show, Harvey Silver told me that after they'd played the clip, Jason Dunstall would cross to me for a chat, including asking me what inspired the song. I told Harvey I'd answer by mentioning the Coodabeens. Strangely, when the cross to me happened, there was no chat, just a silent "2-shot" of me and my wife. Methinks there's a lot more to showbiz than meets the eye. Regards, Stuart McArthur A piece of advice often heard given by supporters at Geelong games comes when Ben Graham picks up the ball to kick in. Someone will always sing out " have a shot Benny" Another piece of advice is often heard around 10.05 on a Saturday morning when Simon Whelan is handed the microphone and begins his pitiful rationalisation of another Saints debacle. Right across 3AW land they sing out "Passionfruit sponge Simon, Passionfruit sponge!" C.Agar Simon, sorry for sending two entries but I forget the latest edition to player X/cliche Y that has come in this year. Picture this, Matthew Lloyd has taken a mark within goalscoring range, he puts the ball on the ground between his feet, he pulls up his socks, he tucks in his guernsey, he readjusts the shorts, he picks up grass to test the wind (even under a closed roof at Collo Stadium) and it's then it gets too much and you have to yell out "OK OK you've had your regulation TV time Pretty Boy!" Michele Blight ps Have used my prize at the Lobster Cave and it was great. Thanks Lads With Bassett and Robran double-teaming on "Maddy" Lloyd, Essendon supporters will be enquiring of both these gentlemen the following: 1) Where's his back? 2) Where's his head? 3) Where's his neck? If Maddy still isn't raking in any frees, this threatens to get out of control, with queries as to: 1) Where's his arm? 2) Where's his leg? And sadly, this may ultimately culminate in Bomber fan's querying the mere existence of their superstar full-forward by lodging the following desperate objection: Where is he? Cheers Oliver Kysela Gentlemen Like Might & Power in the 1998 Cox Plate, I'm tipping with confidence that one of the troops from the Collingwood army will launch into a fair old spray of the first Richmond defender to give away a free kick this week with the line: "You've been doing it all day.................(insert relevant Richmond defender's surname)". The credibility of this observation is somewhat limited when delivered 2 minutes into the first quarter. And you can be reassured that the response from the Richmond army will be swift, and will resemble something along the lines of: "Why don't you kick it for him as well.................(insert umpire's name)". Cheers Oliver Kysela Dear Coodabeens, Once upon a time, long long ago, before Kouta ran his footy "Klinics" at PP, Carlton members would shake their heads and "tut-tut" as he again failed to chase, or turned the ball over to the opposition, or dropped a mark. "What are you there for, eh?" would call the large Italian man in front of me, to which my friend Karrin would tap him on the shoulder and say "excuse me, he is there for my visual gratification" ... still is! Wendy Moore What do supporters call the AFL players when they've got the ball? Ben 'Have a shot' Graham, Saverio 'Have a shot' Rocca, Anthony 'Have a shot' Rocca, Matthew 'Have a shot' Robram, It's good to see that football supporters all over are still sticking to the time honoured tradtion of shouting at their teams longest kick to have a shot at all times, regardless of the fact that sometimes they are actually kicking out from full back. Then of course there is the injury prone player, who occasionally takes a little while to get up after a hard contest. David 'I hope that isn't his knee' Schwartz Paul 'Oh my god, he's done that hamstring again' Lynch Shaun 'there wasn't a plastic disk lying in the ground, was there?' Rehn Some players are fortunate, they get more than one comment labelled towards them. Ronnie 'Kick the bloody thing' Burns Ronnie 'What are you doing?' Burns Ronnie 'Ohhhhh Ronald' Burns (My families personal favourite) The last couple of weeks it has turned to: Ronnie 'we're missing him around the packs' Burns Ronnie 'when's Ronnie back?' Burns Other obvious comments would be Austinn 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi' Jones Matthew 'he's such a nice boy' Lloyd. Robert 'Go Banger' Harvey from StKilda supporters or Robert 'TACKLE HIM' Harvey from non StKilda supporters Shane 'He's just sooooo good' from Hawthorn supporters or Shane 'When's your next calendar shoot, Cindy?' from non Hawthorn supporters Wayne 'You da man' Carey from AAA Kangaroos supporters or Wayne 'You're a Wanker, Dick Head, Loser, Cheat' Carey (or any other traditional derogatory term used by AFL supporters for example teaching him things about his mother that he never knew)', from non AAA Kangaroo supporters. Cheers Greg Gliddon This week's competition: Things you shout out to your own team's players. Being a Collingwood supporter, my vocabulary is very limited, so I have to make do with: 2. Mark Orchard - "Kick it to Bucks" 3. Mark Richardson - "Kick it to Bucks" 5. Nathan Buckley - "BUCKS!!!!!!!" 10. Paul Williams - "Kick it to Bucks" 11. Shane O'Bree - "Kick it to Bucks" 14. Shane Watson - "Kick it to Bucks" 18. Paul Licuria - "Kick it to Bucks" 20. Chris Tarrant - "Kick it to Bucks" 23. Anthony Rocca - "Kick it to Bucks" 24. Tarqyn Lockyer - "Kick it to Bucks" 26. Gavin Brown - "Kick it to Bucks" 27. Andrew Ukovic - "Kick it to Bucks" 28. Gavin Crosisca - "Kick it to Bucks" 31. Ben Johnson - "Kick it to Bucks" 33. Tyson Lane - "Kick it to Bucks" 35: Simon Prestigiacomo - "Kick it to Bucks" 36. Saverio Rocca - "Kick it to Bucks" 40. Leon Davis - "Kick it to Bucks" 41. Damien Adkins - "Kick it to Bucks" 48. Mal Michael - "Kick it to Bucks" 49. Rupert Betheras - "Kick it to Bucks" Regards, Rod Ryland As a North Melbourne fan whenever Winnie Abraham, Peter Bell, Gary Durkhay or Spider Burton do something good, I say "Thankyou Fremantle!" When Blakey does something good I say "And Fitzroy wanted McCarthy instead of Blakey" When Wayne Carey does something good the responses include "Whooohoooo!!!, Caaaaaareyyyyy!, and the lesser heard And we got him for $5000!) Lastly when Libba, Romero, Fraser Brown & Darren Bewick get the ball the cliche saying is "HIT HIM!!!" p.s. This probably applies to opposition supporters when they play North when Carey or King get the ball. Michele Blight |
