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

Yeah there were a few mentions of Rex Hunt against Essendon, Clint. Slipped through the barriers somehow. Don't think that will be repeated this time around.

This might be the most fun I've had in a thread in a long time.

It might be because I'm only understanding every 3rd or 4th word.

Plus Rowan Atkinson gifs.

Rowan Atkinson offers many great gifs.

The Scott Bros. are quickly mounting a case for most giffable characters.

Aren't you Chris....:

Yep. I'm convinced that if they had a larger stage they would be huge memes by now, like if they were NFL coaches or something.

Brad Scott's argument with the Etihad roof last year was comedy gold.

"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.

For those who don't know...

I am going to use that from now on - I'm a little Ian Nankervis ( but only on the over 50's)

 Choke - use your mince pies to read, then use you north and south and say the words out loud - by then your tram and train will have kicked in  and you'll understand what has been written.

If not, i think you are cattle truck and will never understand (said in jest)

 

Drinking brown cordial helps (and just to confuse brown cordial is not rhyming slang)

And drinking too much brown cordial may make you jan juc - if you do, best to be in the don't be funny - and try not to Con Britt at the same time - could be messy

When I read the thread title,  I thought it was implying that Ian Nankervis was, how shall I say.... somewhat promiscuous and had fathered a large number of progeny.

Lucky I persisted

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

You've certainly had an education this week Choke, torn confetti..the Nankervis Brothers.  Just wait till we start talking about floggers, the centre diamond and Diamond Jim.  

[bjDee 1,247]

Well I went down to the rub a dub dub last week to watch the Mr Sooty but at qtr time the Willy Wonka behind the bar changed the Ned Kelly over to the boxing!  

[Deemented Are Go! 3,602]

So.

Get on the Bread n Jam and head down the Frog n Toad to the Rubbiddy Dub for a few Richard Geres before the game. After said Sherbets, be sure to have a Snake's Hiss before going to the G. Grab a Dog's Eye with Dead Horse at quarter-time then you might need to brave the MCG dunnies for a Horse and Trap at half-time. If the Dees appear in more s**t than a Werribee Duck at three quarter-time you might be cracking the Jimmy Schmidts, But don't despair, the Rex Hunts still get the Colliwobbles and the Dees can give em the Lemonade and Sars!

Hope you kicked him in the Jim and Phil's

On a similar vein, I enjoyed it when Rex Hunt and team would go through the Zarzoff family tree. 

We had Rudy, Bluey, Shagga ...

Oh oh I know these!

The floggers are BBO's bikie gang!

The centre diamond was when four men with handlebar moustaches rode their Penny-farthings into the middle of the ground, timing their runs so as to create a 'diamond' in the centre. This was seen as a daring display of skill, given it was the fastest a human being could travel at the time.

Diamond Jim was the legendary captain of the above mentioned Penny-farthing team. However he is most famous for riding several miles (I am reliably informed that this is a unit of measure and not in fact a person's name) backwards down Flinders St shouting about the health benefits of tobacco.

And I bet you thought millennials knew nothing about history!

OK so I think this is a good place for this; with all of the talk about the League tinkering with the rules, the link shows that it has been forever thus.  One of my favourite rule changes is  1955 - Boundary umpires’ whistles first used in place of white handkerchiefs.
