Strange who you meet

[gringo]

I met Cameron Wood once in a club in Brisbane.

He started having a go at me cause I done stoleded his woman.

He then attempted to urinate on me.

What did I do?

Drop him.

i'm guessing that soiree wasn't as classy as it sounds.

If anyone knows the Port Office Hotel...it is where private school kids go (back in my day) to make-out with each other and do 3 dollar jaegar-bombs.

Fantastic times were had.

Now I prefer heroin.

I may as well trot out my Tony Modra story...

Back in 1992, living in Cairns, I was at the PIer Tavern one Sunday rave in July, for the regular Sunday sesh. Started chatting to this guy at the bar. He said he was up from Adelaide on hols and his brother lived in Cairns and played footy. I asked him if he played footy in Adelaide and he said, yeah, for the Crows! I said yeah, right, what's your name? Tony Modra was the reply. I said, you play for West Adelaide? Yes, but he was in the Crows squad. So, he was injured and having some time away from ADelaide.
So we drank on, chatted about footy. I took him to another bar later, the legendary Playpen, and we had a good night. Never saw him again.

Fast track 12 months and he's the gun full forward of the comp!! I'd be watching him take speckies on tv, and say, hey, it's my mate Mods! He was a cool dude too, liked to have a chat. I reckon he would prolly recall that weekend if I ever ran into him again, lol

[plugger66]

Went to a place called Huntly yesterday to watch a few mates from Ormond who now play at Lockington. Getting a beer and who should be there in the beer line but big Ben. i had had a few by then and had a bit of a chat to Ben. Said the year was disappointing and started poorly woth a loss to Port. Said he had finished at the club this year except for the B&F on Wednesday.

We left the footy at three quarter time because the boys had the game won and I was with a mad Swans supporting family. We decide to drive to Rochester as we were staying in Echuca and watch the footy at a pub in Rochy. Walked in and who should be there but Luke Ball who was with his Old Xavier crocks mates on a bucks turn. Had even more by then and had a chat with Luke. Didnt bring up RL. Hadnt had that much but he was happy to chat about the Saints and his time there. Both nice guys and both games went as we wanted. Good day all round.

Was Ben up there watching Colbinabbin, where his dad played a lot of footy? !!

He said exactly that. Couldnt work out why but that explains it.

Was the pub in Rochy the Criterion? It used to have a "Bull Ring" in the sale yards across the road, behind the Shire Hall where many a dispute was settled !!

We were at the Shamrock. I know the pubs in Rochy pretty well. A few cousins live there.

You did the right thing 'Deemsy.

You had to be a man and make the tough decision.

Not the right thing to keep dating the both of them.

I'm from Kyabram originally. Know a couple of guys from Rochy, including Brendan Atley, who's son is now playing for North Melbourne. Well, I assume it's his son, don't know for sure, maybe a nephew. Played footy with Ats in Cairns. My brother, Rusty McDonell, is a GVFL legend, held the all time games record once for the seniors. Captained Ky to their last flag in 1996.

That's a lucky escape for you then Stevie... for a moment I was wondering if we had in-laws in common.

[stevie]

Lol, Dave!

[Eastern]

Lol, Dave!

There could be trouble here stevie. Me being an OLD Rochy boy and you being from Ky. We disliked Ky boys almost as much as we disliked Echuca boys back in the day !!

[stevie]

Lol, Dave!

That's why I left Ky in 1981, and came up here!

[plugger66]

Do you know Allan Crilly. he was captain of Rochy when John Williams played there. He is also my first cousin.

Yes, I know Allan Crilly. Who is your 1st cousin? Crill or Whoppa?

[stevie]

Is that Barry 'Whoppa ' Williams, plug? Who also played for Ky? He coached me for Ky seconds in 1980. Top bloke

Barry (Whoppa) is John's brother. John came 3rd in the Brownlow in the 60's. Some said Barry was a much better footballer only not as dedicated !!

Anyone know Jimmy 'Franga' Johnson at all?

I just made him up, be he could be real.

I'm starting to feel left out here.

[Teflon]

Me too

Anyone know Graeme Gellibrand from up Jerilderee way?

Went to school with Graeme in 63 but was borne in 76..

[Dr Spaceman]

Anyone know Jimmy 'Franga' Johnson at all?

Changed his name to Graeme Gellibrand and moved up Jerilderee way I believe.

Franga was a top bloke. Played mainly as a fullback. Didnt let many through and stuck to the full forward like a glove.
He did have some issues later in life I think.
