Roys FC & SFA stalwart received Life Membership at the Roys FC B&F Count last week.
Mobbs was overcome with emotion but still managed a classic acceptance speech (its on the Roys page somewhere), then it was chudshakes for all.
Well done Mobbs:thumbsu:
An article in the latest Inside Sport written by Paul Kennedy which includes the line"... and played again at the MCG only twice more as a fringe reserves player for Fitzroy in 1994"
Anyone recall his on field exploits?
A list of players who are not blessed athletically, but more than make up for it with football nous.
In "ancient" times, Diesel Williams - too slow. Tony Shaw - too small & too slow. Mick Nolan - too fat. In modern day footy, these 3 wouldn't have got a look in come draft time.

3 clouds gather in the sky and all junior footy called off:thumbsd:
Fatty Jnr was quite excited about the prospect of a run around on a heavy track - but it gets called off - and there was virtually no rain on saturday anyway.
Why do the BJ cancell wet games at the drop of a hat? God - SA...

A brand new tv quiz game called "Stump the Dictionary" goes to air. The aim of the game is for an audience member to come up with a word in common use, but not found in the dictionary.
Night 1 goes well, with no audience winners at all. Finally an old derro has his turn...
Let commonsense prevail re the Sharks 5 goal penalty for the final against the mighty Roys.
Be interested for all non-Sharkies to voice their opinions.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Saw her for the first time on a recent Rockwiz doing an impromptu 10 seconds of Nutbush City Limits & was totally blown away by her voice. Worth spending any $$$ on?
After a crappy start which saw the Roys propping up the ladder after 5 rounds, the team finally got it together with a string of wins which propelled them into the top 4. And end of season slump had us needing to win the last minor round game to ensure a spot in the 8 and a taste of September. A...
Not too many left now. Remember the kids we got in drafts making their way up here and getting plenty of game time - often to the groans of the crowd (around my seat we all used to get up Nige Lappin & generally agreed he'd last only a season or 2. Shows what great judges we were!!).
Anyway -...
After 6 rounds we sit but half a game out of the 8 with 1 win plus a draw. The football gods are warming to us, with a string of wins almost certain over the coming weeks.

Follow the link. A few minor changes, but I'm showing some faith in the same 22. The boys on the supp list are showing fine form in the 2's & will get a go if there is a repeat of round 1 (unless of course money changes hands - then your...

Fat Pizza's Trivia
Climb aboard, and maybe learn something about FFC along the way
Can you answer these questions?
1. Which VFL team played out of Bruswick St?
2. Gary Wilson, Mick Conlan & Kevin Murray all played for which VFL club?
3. Which FFL team has the gorilla mascot?
Get 3 out of 3? :thumbsu: Then you qualify for the Roys FFL team. Visit the thread below (or...
Anyone interested in going around again?
I can do a bit re team selection etc, but won't be dependable all year with work committments etc, so an "assistant or 3" would be good.
As normal - please provide your preferred possy plus playing number. Depending on demand we'll either play:) or...
AH has brought up the "Sand bag" incident; we've previously touched on the "count at Thebby", "Mad Dog Muir going off at Thebby", a few broken behind posts etc, and of course the "Buff Tyrell Vs Port" game of '76.
I'd like to learn of, or have my memory refreshed of other classic SANFL...
Just been perusing some TOTC for SANFL clubs and quickly realised how little I know of SANFL history. Even the Port TOTC had names completely foreign to me (but we'll get to them later).
Thought I'd start off with South.
Heard of Naley, Murdy (only as he was perennial runnerup at Magarey...
