I always preferred Paul Kelly's original version of Leaps & Bounds:
I'm on Wheelers Hill
Looking over the damn
To Wa-ver-ley
And way up on high
The sepia board
Says two point seven degrees

It was 20 years ago today...
Hard to believe it's been 20 years today since I hosted a league game. What a day. Warm, sun out, tee-shirts, sunnies...everything that I stood for 😉
Who knows what will be of me in another 20 years time.
Much love, Parkie (P)
Happy 50th birthday to ME!! Help me celebrate with all of your memories, photos, bits and pieces you stole from me after my last game, and if ANYONE can find that blue footy 🏉 then what better present could there be?! Forever yours in sepia 💚

With the current situation, I feel that I’m in the perfect position to host games again. Also, can host fans safely in surrounding living rooms. Let’s do it

Gil, S.Hocking...SOMEONE!
Stop playing feckin’ music after goals. It’s truly awful-stuff whatever fan engagement research you’ve manufactured up your skivvies, let the crowd make the noise & while I’m at it, bring back the old hats for goal umpires!
To qualify for a coveted blue coat, you needed at least three of the following:
-moustache
-beer belly
-faded jeans with elastic waste
-smoke rollies
-problem punter
-ability to kick a footy no more than 23 metres using a two-hand drop
-ability to withstand freezing temperatures

Sometimes I have this dream...where EVERY footy ground in Melbourne is turned into a featureless concrete bowl...

Great to catch up with some ol’ pals on zoom last night. The consensus? Where better to play footy AND socially distance at the same time than here on my vast arena?

Had their 1st final here, a classic in 1990 with the Pies, 1st grand final here, 1st finals win here, Matera’s goal, Waterman’s mark, 4 finals here in 1990 & 7 here over 1990-1!!

Disappointed in my fellow parody account
@AlbertThurgood
today. But I guess we’ll leave it up to him to use social media to poke fun at where his own club is at. Shame as it’s such a clever idea for an account.
(And yes...he retweets himself regularly!)
Just realised my 50th birthday’s coming up in a few weeks!! Feeling old...but then Fitzroy played that day so I can’t really complain!
Stay tuned for my 50th birthday isolation celebrations! 🎂
Me: Hey
AFL: Yeah?
Me: What's the hap with next week's finals?
AFL: What the what now?
Me: You know-scheduling 2 prelims! Top 2 & the 5th/6th best teams? Fans need to know when & where..plans to make!
AFL: Ah that...but round 1...
Me: No that's the men
AFL: O...kay. We're ON it!
