Everyone's a little 'Ian Nankervis'

[H_T 3,043]

Take a chill pill. There's a lot of nervous nellys on other threads. The boys will do their absolute best. They will do their best to minimise mistakes, eradicate coach killer moments and bring their 'A' game as a collective unit.

They'll need to be at their absolute best, because Collingwood will come out and deliver their best on Sunday.

This game will be played above the shoulders. And mindset will be critical before the game. Time for the coach to deliver.

 

What we don't wish for is a chorum of 'jimmy brits' in the game day thread venting with each wrong indiscretion. Get down to the 'half back flank', take out some 'Gary Honey' and get down to the 'Rub-a-dub-dub', sit down on a 'Brucey Doull' for a few 'Richard Gere's' before going to the game. 

Just make sure you stop for a 'Magical Miss' on the way in.

Killing time...let's hear some of your finest rhyming slang...

I came into this thread to ask who Ian Nankervis is.

Saw this. Am more perplexed than I was when I started.

Are you serious? 

Former Geelong player. Had a brother played for Geelong as well, Bruce Nankervis.

Just googled him. Apparently he retired before I was born.

Can't think of a funny way to say this using rhyming slang but In and his brother (whose first name escapes me) played or Geelong in the 70s (and early 80s) and were both guns. Ian was one of my favorite non MFC players

Damnit!

I tried to fit in with the cool older crowd and now look the fool. I have reinforced your beliefs about Gen Y's ignorance! I am a failure!

"ian Nankervis" = nervous for those who haven't caught on. BTW my mates reckon I've swallowed the Strine dictionary.

On another note, the Nankervis bros. were referred to as the Leyland brothers for their penchant to traverse the entire backline when moving the ball forward.

And, no, I ain't going to explain who the Leyland brothers were.

Drew Morphett had replays on Winners Re-booted the other night. Geelong v Collingwood Rd 1, 1982. The Nankervis bros. were playing among the likes of the red haired, pale skin trio of Neville Bruns, Scratcher Neal, John Mossip. 

A young first gamer in Darren Flannagan also played that game.

Love emotion.

As soon as the optimism levels rise about an up coming game, a siren sounds in the back of my head, that I foolishly ignore...

Such is football.

You would need to ask the Leyland Brothers that wouldn't you, after all that is what their song said!

Agree - it's all above the Gregory Peck. If the players have their Billy Goggin's screwed on properly, then a rusty tin will occur

Damon Munt may get a mention if we lose.
