I love this bit:

“I took off for the 1977 grand final against North Melbourne, and after a three hour bike ride to escape the tension, arrived one minute too early and was forced to watch Ross “Twiggy” Dunne insist on trying to save the game with the most inaccurate kick of all, the torpedo punt. ”

I too have a very clear recollection of Twiggy Dunne lining up with what looked suspicously like a torp – looking back – it’s hilarious!! Put it the is way, even in my amateur senior footy days – absolutely everyone was banned form using the torp – even just to warm up on a training night!!

But this line cracks me up every time:

Apparently I was at the 1972 VFA grand final at the Junction Oval. My team Oakleigh won, but all I can remember is sitting behind the picket fence eating dim sim sandwiches when my mother, laughing, said: “Dim sims? Oh no, pet, you’re eating lambs brains!”

You are seriously funny.

I love these quotes from your blog, which I am going to copy and paste here for everyone’s enjoyment – I hope you don’t mind:

“Oh woe is me!”
Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon)

“Oh misery! Oh misery! Oh woe is me! Oh misery!”
Wordsworth (Somerset)

“Oh shut the f*ck up!”
Corey (Keilor Downs)
