The Captain’s Musings

Random thoughts while wondering if Koschitzke is Dutch for ‘injury-prone’

Is it just me, or does John Worsfold look a little bit like a ventriloquist dummy? Not that I’d ever say that to his face; nor to the guy with his hand up his ass…

Alright, alright, I’ll admit it; and I’ll do it Big Brother style; it’s time to go…Kent Kingsley. (Speaking of Big Brother, at least Geelong weren’t the only ones getting turkey-slapped on television over the weekend…)

Paul Licuria has come out (pardon the pun) and said a gay footballer would be welcome in today’s enlightened AFL, “Sure, people will talk about it, and it would definitely make huge headlines, but in the end it's all about acceptance,” Licuria said. Good to hear. We wouldn’t want anyone feeling uncomfortable about putting their arms around each other, singing a song and then showering together…

No shirt, no shoes, no service. When did we have to start telling people that? Just once I’d like to see someone in collar and tie, brand new loafers but completely pant-less, saunter up to the bar and order a couple of pots…

While browsing AFL.com recently I came across this about injured Saint, Justin Koschitzke; “Speaking at a promotional launch of a new action man figurine in his likeness on Wednesday, team mate Nick Riewoldt hinted that Koschitzke would take the field for the Saints' VFL affiliate, Springvale against competition leaders, the Northern Bullants this weekend.” Hang on; there's a Nick Riewoldt doll? Does Paul Licuria know about this? I wonder if you can you get Mal Michael and Chris Scott figurines, who team up to dislocate action man Nick’s shoulder, making him cry…

You know your Dream Team is struggling when your third best performer is David Hille. If he had a figurine it would come with the tag, “Warning: Heart not included.”…

Has anyone else noticed that Landrover are making shoes now? Apparently they’ll be hiking boots that are worn exclusively by rich housewives in the city… Thank you, I’ll be here all week…

And while we’re on the topic of over-priced 4WDs, have you seen the ad for the Ford Territory, with the “reverse camera”? According to the Ford website it’s a ‘wide-angle camera to provide a clear view of the area immediately behind the vehicle’. Really? You mean, like a rearview mirror? You’re telling me I’m paying an extra 6 Grand for a FUCKING REARVIEW MIRROR?

St.Kilda has issued high-tech, iPod like video player devices to each of its players for the purpose of studying game film; what are the odds a player sex tape starts doing the rounds courtesy of these things? (And if a St.Kilda player sex tape did emerge, who do you reckon it would be? My money’s on Cain Ackland. And, no, there’s no real reason for this)…

Matthew McCarthy… Matthew McCarthy… Matthew McCarthy… Matthew McCarthy… Matthew McCarthy… Matthew McCarthy… Matthew McCarthy… Matthew McCarthy… Matthew McCarthy… Matthew McCarthy…

Let the snobs pay the extra cash, at least I don't have to turn on the news and watch another fucking story how some bitch runs over a kid backing out of her driveway.

Speaking of the Ford Territory, Gary Ablett Junior was spotted driving one down Latrobe Terrace yesterday before the poor bloke ran out of fuel on his way to Telstra Dome. We're lucky that a Carlton supporter didn't run him over as he was walking along the highway with his jerry can. It would have been the only way to stop him, given his first quarter heroics.

I would have stopped to help him, except I also had a break to refuel - at Hungry Jack's. Cousin Davis and I found it interesting that he was driving by himself. Doesn't he have any mates?

I also saw Messrs Mackie and Stokes lining up at Lamby's last night. I felt like saying to #4 that the last time he was out at a Geelong nightclub he ended up getting in a brawl. But at 1am and with a belly full of beer, wiser heads prevailed.

McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy! Five of the best!
