Welcome

Welcome to another edition of the Square Leg Files. Another quiet week in the Marnoo district, sorta in between seasons, Cricket & Golf, Harvest and Sowing etc . I have however, given a few predictions for the year ahead, see them below. Here we go….

Don’t worry about round 1

There will be many out there who write of teams after round 1, but from experience my warning is “don’t”. People will be selling down the value of teams like Western Bulldogs, St Kilda etc but they will bounce back, will be interesting in the next couple of weeks.

I’m turning the bloody phone off

Former fruiterer and arguably (big argue) Marnoo’s fastest ever bowler John “Fruity” Nisbet was getting ready for the assault well before it was going to happen. When I spoke to him last Thursday he mentioned that he was ready to turn the phone off if the Bombers beat the Bulldogs. Well they did. I know Fruity tipped that a couple of selected Marnoo Bombers supporters in particular would be trying to contact him after the win.

Autumn weather to die for

I don’t know if you agree but I reckon Autumn is the best time of year, the mornings are crisp and a little damp, the wind is usually calm, the sun is just warm enough but not to hot and the days are slightly shorter. Gotta love it

Golf just around the corner

The golf season is about ready to fire up and this season will be an interesting one. Golf seems to be a little stale in the area (I mean the Wimmera) with Wallaloo one of the few shining lights. However the Royal can’t rest on their laurels and just keep churning out the same old fixtures, they need to come up with some new and innovative fixtures to keep the younger members of the community interested. Any thoughts……

Square Legs tip for this year

We will have 30 inches for the year at Marnoo. The October Ram Sales will be the biggest ever. Trent “Irons” Carter will win the golf championship by one shot from Rod “Rocket” Reading. Crops will get through with average yields despite the wet. The Muddy will have run 12 times by the end of the year. Someone in the district will come into a lot of money (like I mean a real lot). Brian “Farmer” Healy will get another good horse.
