I am a Former Victorian Junior Singles Champion

Most of the best Lawn Bowlers are well under 50

Fun fact: I best the national champions in Lawn Bowls as a teenager. My teacher tried to convince me to go pro, but the idea of being a pro lawnbowls player didn't seem appealing to an 18yr old

Which one of you is Kelvin Kerkow?

You have seven kids and two sets of twins?

Hope you are just as unlucky tomorrow.

I love kids sport.
My little one is playing netball this year, soccer last year.
Sport is so good for kids.

Well my young bloke is nearly 26, so it's taken him a while to make his debut. But I'm still nervous for him........

There's some sports that as a youngster you look at with a level of disdain as it's not a "cool" sport

I remember my primary school graduation our guest speaker was a competitive race walker - pretty boring idea to a group of like 11 & 12yr olds

When you then get a few years older and realise that guest speaker is an Olympic bronze medalist, multiple Comm Games gold medalist amongst other achievements - that sure race walking still a little weird, but you actually got to listen who became pretty bloody successful in their sporting career, and maybe we could have been a little more respectful

Well done.
You seamlessly directed conversation towards a namedrop. GWS Goose- the apprentice has become a master.

Can I work a few others in, maybe the then AFL who dropped around to my childhood home as he was buying a bar off my dad

We have the Old Boys in about 10 days. They're always talking about bars, work it in then

You have much to learn, young Remy. Tagging a teammate and a name drop are two different things.

What's good for the GWS Goose is good for the Proper Gander.
