Young Bamblett

[Hiram Cowfreak 78]

On a recent flight back from Adelaide, I saw a group of young indigenous players coming to Melbourne for one of the pre-final games.

There was a young Bamblett amongst them, and he looked like a likely type....any chance of father/son??

That's what I'm wondering...

What he looked athletic? Moved well as he got into his seat? Negotiated the airport traffic with ease?

Balked a dinning cart, sold some candy to the bloke in aisle 2 and delivered it with precision by hand to the waiting bloke up fwd in space...

Ravi,its come to my notice that you're playing a gig at Hamer Hall in March.

Any chance of a couple of tix??

[Hiram Cowfreak 78]

No worries, the fingers will be flying over the sitar that night.

And we can all have a nice vindaloo after the gig!

Les cost us a supporter. My sister used to have Les' number on her jumper (#8 IIRC) and when he went to Footscray so did she.

Excuse me for asking, but was she a flight attendant?

Some lovely work in here.

In his short career, Bamblett was a gifted ball winner who could not apply himself to the requirements of VFL at the time and living in the big city. If the kid has his Dad's ability and has the application to make it, he would could be a good ball winner. Was one of Ray Jordan's wonder kids in the early 80s that did not take the next step.

Spun on a dime outside the ladies, took three bounces on the overhead compartments, made sure everyone's seat belt restraints were secure, then threaded it straight through the flight attendants lingerie.

Les "Lally Bamblett wasn't our first indigenous player by a long way.

We had Eddie Jackson in the forties - a premiership player back in '48 I think. We also had Colin Graham in the 70's after chasing his uncle, a champion from the SANFL in the late 60's.

The young Bamblett on the flight might be a lad who plays for one of the TAC Cup country sides (Murray Bushrangers?)

I'm sure Deebest would know if he's around.

His reaction testing when changing movies on the in-flight screen was sublime !

Richard plays for North Ballarat in the TAC Cup but is ineligible for this years draft. Les is his uncle.
