Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 4: Mount Buller Delons vs Baghdad Bombers @ The Snow Dome

[Headless]

Thats a tough one to answer friend.

We must ponder.

 

[sausageroll]

It's GAME DAY somewhere in the world, jmoo!

I'm still getting used to game day being on Saturday

 

[Proper Gander]

Funny you say that, I drove past an old house I owned yesterday.
It had on the front entrance wall, The Grover family.
I resisted the temptation to knock on the front door and say I'm the cookie monster.

Did you own an old house or did you mean something different?

 

[tgrs]

Wonder if I’ll bag a first goal today

If not I nominate for a worse position, like star interchange player or something

 

[Pugsley]

Did you own an old house or did you mean something different?

I built it in 2008 then moved to Melbourne in 2009.
Sold it. If it was on the market again, it would be unaffordable for me to buy.

 

[Proper Gander]

Thats a tough one to answer friend.

I love a good quiz!

Here’s an easy one. (no wiki cheating mind)

Okay for 100 dollars, who wrote the club song of the Geelong Cats?

Clue: Not Joe Hockey and stay away from my quiz Headless

cats2rise will know this one

Was it tgrs?

 

[Proper Gander]

Mods, can I get a red box with a cross in it please?

Mogs just did a ninja post delete.

No it’s not Verdi

I can't remember who but it was a player , before that they used what ended up being used by North Melbourne .

To be fair to you, the person did play piano

 

[Proper Gander]

My ability to kill off a good thread is truly elite

 

[gab213]

To be fair to you, the person did play piano

Interesting,but he also played for Geelong, I read about this years ago, and I think he penned the words on the team bus after a game. Bits and pieces of this story coming back to me, just not the most important piece, the name

[Gralin]

Did you have the Bert and Ernie bathroom sing-along?

That is the greatest album of all time. I’ve still got it too. I really need to get a turntable to listen to this, and also Juanita the Spanish Lobster

I believe I had that, I had four different sesame st albums

 

[Proper Gander]

Interesting,but he also played for Geelong, I read about this years ago, and I think he penned the words on the team bus after a game. Bits and pieces of this story coming back to me, just not the most important piece, the name

He would have had to have mighty long arms to take marks from his home in Paris.

It’s possible that it was a player that adapted the song.

At least you were on the scent. It was Bizet and he didn’t play in the league unless in the ammos
