Welcome to another week
Hello and welcome to another week of the SLF. I was back in the village last week and boy do things look good, but as we know the spring is the business end of the season and that’s what will make or break us.

She isn’t over until the fat lady sings
Man of wisdom and SLF favourite John “Jack” Cameron is a realist, so much so that he has reminded me once again “that this dry period isn’t over until all the rivers, creeks (Muddy especially) and dams are full and really when you think about it he’s exactly right. We may be basking in the glory of rich green paddocks of crop or pasture but in a normal Marnoo season the paddocks are wet and you usually can’t driver around. Bring on the big spring rains.

You always see someone you know....
It doesn’t matter where you go you always seem to come across someone you know and sometimes you may come across someone in an uncompromising position. Well this little black duck was travelling down Kings Way the other day at peak hour when he spotted a familiar person with a longish pony tail, he was armed with funny looking container and a funnel leading into his fuel tank. Yes this poor unfortunate had run out of petrol in his car on one of the busiest streets in Melbourne in peak hour. I would have pulled over to help him but I had no way of turning around, so I gave him a call and he said that his Ford Falcon was saying 40km to go before empty. Can you guess who it was? Yes your right, John “Be My” Guest.

Kenny comes to town
I’m told on good authority that we have our very own “Kenny” in town, you know the portable toilet bloke. Apparently the Navy Blues Supporters group, is investigating buying some mobile dunny’s and Marnoo West hop-along-cassidy Mark “Pest” Raggatt is in charge of the deal, apparently the process has taken all the twists and turns of the real movie itself!!!

Malcolm Fraser
We have our own Kenny and we also have our own Malcolm Fraser, apparently one of our leading identities has been dropping his pants in the pub. Don’t worry though it was all above board (only males in attendance and the main prize was well and truly covered), this person was only showing the difference between his good and bad leg (not his middle one).

Marnoo wins Premiership
Marnoo has clinched the pool premiership and my guest reporter Gary “Larry” Cameron takes up the story. (Readers please be warned that this story was done late at night in the Marnoo Hotel). This is Larry’s report:
It’s with great pleasure to report that Marnoo has won another premiership albeit “pool” but its Marnoo and well worth printing. We were well lead by our sometime sleepy publican Leigh “Give me a sugar fix” Foster. We travelled to Minyip and played the Donald upstarts “Rebels” and were looking down the barrel being 3 down after 3 games but we rebounded and won the next 5 games straight to clinch the victory. A big thanks to the Marnoo team represented by Leigh, Herbie, Muzza, Perky, Andrew, Larry, Robbie Mac, Rachel and Farmer. Leigh won the player of the year.

Trip to WA
I was talking to NewAg CEO Andrew “Clown” Newall and he confirmed all the shenanigans that went on, he also confirmed that Brain “Farmer” Healy took out the prize for the week. He is also concerned that they probably learnt more in the local pubs they visited along the way but somehow forgot it all by the next morning.

What’s going on
Man about town and SLF favourite Bruce “Fevola” Hendy made it back from Darwin in one piece, but it’s not Darwin but another state capital he is most interested in lately. That’s about all I know at this stage, but stay tuned for more.
