Hello hello

A very warm welcome to the new week and what a week (last week) was. Nothing really special happened, very routine for yours truly, hopefully things will spice up this week. Better get on with the news…..

Turning over a new leaf

A small but select group made the annual bus trip to the Bulldogs, Dockers game at that stadium named after and Arab owned airline. A former Marnoo shopkeeper told me that the Marnoo lads had done something completely left field, different, not the norm. What you ask? They didn’t have a beer on the way down, now that is a turn up for the blog because in the past some “new ballers” haven’t even made it to the footy. Good to see some responsibility being shown, however I’m tipping they still got their fill!!!!!

Larry off with cash to burn

Marnoo’s most eccentric human being Gary “Larry” Cameron is about to jump on the big bird and start flapping. He is heading overseas to “somewhere in Asia” and he is leaving with money to burn. You see he and Marnoo’s fastest ever bowler (John “Fruity” Nisbet for those that are rightly scratching their heads) won a Trifecta of mammoth proportions on Sunday night after the footy. I was told not to repeat the payout but I can confirm it was substantial for a $5 trifecta. The Mayor will be shitty…

Big Pig

Whilst on journey to “somewhere in Asia”, Larry will be stopping off in Brisbane to see former native and Wallaloo Golfing Champion Brian “Big Pig” Graversgaard. Last time I heard he was driving trucks for some multi national around Ipswich (he probably own the company now). Should be a wild couple of day as both these lads can “play”

Farmers on the net

I had dinner with another former Marnooian Dwain “Daryl” Duxson and he is excited about his new website. He was telling me he has around 25,000 Ag businesses in the directory and he has put up most of the Marnoo businesses he could think of. This includes all the districts farmers, he said to go to the search box and type in your last name (eg Hines, Healy) or business name (eg Wallaloo Park, Harbergers etc and it will come up in a category (if not just add it). You can then claim it and edit it….go to www.thefarmtrader.com.au & join up now…

My mate Acka

Without doubt it’s been a big week for the Dogs and I don’t really feel sorry for Acka because I’m guessing he wouldn’t want that. I think he has set himself up beautifully to become one of the most “read” journalists in the country. I am probably sticking up for a fellow journalist here but I really think that Acka will go well, that is of course if he doesn’t alienate everyone within football….Oh yes and the Bulldogs have moved on as well, they had an easy win at “Pie Guts Stadium”

But alas, don’t’ back them to win the premiership….

I think the Bullies have only won one premiership and this years is already out the door, it’s impossible for them to win it now. Why you ask? Well former Marnoo Premiership coach “Jumpin” John Drum backed them to win it two weeks ago. Enough said.

Another big night at the Royal

Thursday nights at the Royal have been a real hit and if you haven’t been then you are missing out. I’m told they are coming from far and wide with Craig “Craigy” Chessman coming from the East and Stuart “Chappy” Chapman coming from way down South. There is talk of a big Sunday event coming soon. Can someone please email through some dates….

Hoot finds Facebook

I have been tacking former native Andrew “Hoot” Gibson on Facebook lately, he has just discovered the social medium and he is all over it at the moment befriending everyone. Good to hear things are going well Hoot….

Adios
