David Beckham

[digby wolf 1]

I see on the Hun website this morning that Marc Murphy gave David Beckham a Carlton jumper.

Where were our blokes?

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to give him the jumper of the oldest club in the code.

The club that represents the capital city of this state.

The club that wrote the rules etc. etc.

They were training at Visy Park.

Off-season ... and still a few months to go.

It's a pointless gimmick, why does it matter?

Where were our guys? Spewing their guts out on the Casey oval turf, where they should be. Didn't whatshisface try to give Barack Obama a Collingwood jumper? Or was that the Dalai Lama. Either way, those two guys couldn't give a toss about Collingwood or the AFL. It's all a silly waste of time, IMO. You don't see David Beckham giving Marc Murphy a Galaxy jersey, because no-one cares.

Where were our blokes?

Murphy: "So, ah, Dav--- may I call you--"

Beckham: (glares at Murphy, wonders what time lunch is on)

Murphy: "Um ... Mr Beckham ... sorry, Mr Beckham."

Beckham: (looks at watch)

Murphy: "Mr Beckham, in honour of this, the greatest day of my life-- apart from that one time when I met Muhammad Ali. Well, actually, I didn't actually get to meet him. I was in this restaurant at Crown and there was this big commotion at the door and I looked over and--"

Beckham: (to his manager) "Cold, innit? I fought this fecking coun'ry was s'posed to be 'ot!"

Murphy: "Sorry Mr Beckham. Anyway ... Mr Beckham? Mr Beckham? Mr Beckham, in honour of this, um, anyway, the Carlton football club would like to present you--"

Beckham: (to his manager) "That blonde last night was a real goer. See if you can get 'er again. But tell the uvver one not to bovver."

Murphy: "Mr Beckham?"

Beckham: "Huh? Wossat mate?"

Manager: (takes jumper) "Thank you. We are deeply touched. Come on, Dave. Grubs up."

Beckham: (walks away, spits on ground) "About fecking time."

Murphy: (runs after them) "Mr Beckham, sir, may I have an autogr-- Mr Beckham! Mr Beckham?"

In two days time Beckham's dog will be sleeping on that jumper. Unless it's been used before then to wipe up his kids' spew.

"Celebrity supporter" = whoop-de-do.

............The club that wrote the rules etc. etc.

They did just that...the club that wrote the salary cap rules, (at least prior the the fabrication of the two new artificial franchises).

I thought that was our esteemed leader, JuLiar.

Absolutely agree. We are sweating the really small stuff if this is an issue to people.

Yes negativity is alive and well at Melbourne and it's been around since the the early to mid seventies. But as George the 111 said all those years ago ' Be seen, Be seen, Be seen '.

Where was Marc Murphy when our boys met Prince William?

C'mon ... non-issue.
