Harry Taylor pranked Josh Jenkins by slipping a piece of ham into his palm before shaking hands

[Looney]

I'm sure all the AFL players of Jewish descent are splitting their sides too.

I can only think of one Jewish player in the AFL. Todd Goldstien.
Can you imagine if Taylor pulled that prank on Goldy?

 

[mick500]

So no one is entertaining the idea that Taylor walker is full of shit? Lol.

True story: after round 3 Harry Taylor slipped Tomas Bugg a potato after the game. His post game handshake food themed pranks are on point.

 

[Marmik]

HAHAHA that's hilarious if true! People need to lighten up

 

[TheKanga]

It's funny but after a loss i dunno...

Think Cotchin, and Steinberg, too (not sure if Steinberg's still on Ess list) are Jewish, no?

I wonder if Taylor will hand Bachar Houli some ham before the game in a couple weeks.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

He played quite well too. Maybe it's his lucky ham slice? I hope he didn't throw it away, he might need it to run around with it in his shorts for the rest of the year.

Harry and the Lucky Ham, coming 2017. Based on a true story.

Why am I picturing Homer with his month old salad roll stashed under the bed as I read your post?

lol, I was about to post this too.

He used Jenkins as a test run to see how it would go over.

If Richmond beat the Cats, Houli should give Taylor a Lebanese cucumber post match and wink.

Or a severed human ear

I do wonder if my humour is TOO subtle sometimes.

Is this a reference to the joe the goose goals - sort of stuffed goose?

Very sophisticated for a Portz supporter.

Very good... just when I had lost faith in the BF community...

When Kevin Bartlett was playing, his opponent (can't remember who) went to shake his hand pregame and gave him a comb.
With no teeth!

 

[sobrave]

His opponent had no teeth?

Like it or hate it, the Harry's 'ham hand' has inspired one of the better threads here for a while...

The ham to Jenkins fits in well with Australian humour - bit of fun at someone who has had food poisoning/hangover etc.
Ham to Houli would be straight up religious vilification.
Followed by bad look for the game
Outrage
Sorry press conference
political correctness debate
Fines
more hoohaa ... sanitising the game / personality etc
If he handed Houli a revision mirror so he could see who was hanging on behind him, I'm confident Houli would see the joke.

People questioning whether he would have done it with a Muslim or Jewish player - the answer is obviously no. The reason he (allegedly) did it on Friday night is because Jenkins had gotten sick from eating ham, but a devout Muslim/Jew wouldn't be getting sick from eating ham in the first place.

As for the prank itself - kind of funny and very weird. In other words, classic Harry Taylor.

I think Harry is 'getting in Jenkin's head' for the finals, should they meet.

Jenkins will be wondering- "Will he give me ham, will he give me some other foodstuff, does he have it here already" etc.

Just a wafer thin slice of irritant, something at the very back of Jenkin's mind, a teeny tiny distraction, an echo of the gastro he suffered.

harry has clearly been reading 'The Art of War.'

 

[Macpotata]

****ing hilarious

For those thinking Walker made it up, here's what Jenkins said...

“He shook my hands and when we separated there was ham in my hand-- probably 25gms worth from the deli. I don’t think it was smoked. I wasn’t getting too close to it… I was going to throw up.”

Jenkins went down with food poisoning last week after eating a bad ham, but he was still baffled about the motive behind the prank.

“Stuffed if I know. You’d have to ask him,” he said on FIVEaa radio.

“I’m not mates with him, I barely know him. I’ve never even really had a conversation with him. He’s a different cat.”

That's brilliant and hilarious

Houli likely to return the favour with a trademark knuckle sandwich.

 

[Liam Boy]

Good thing he didn't do it to Bachar Houli.

 

[firefighter]

If Richmond beat the Cats

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... That's almost as funny as the ham prank.
