The Man From Magpie River

[BJ]

I'm working on a poem, based on The Man fron Snowy River by the great A.B Banjo Patterson,

There was movement in the coaches box, for word had passed around
Tarks had pulled a hammy, and Bucks was off the Ground.
MM changed positioning and said, "cmon boys Play tight"
"Put Clokey on the fwd line and Leon will Ignite."

"This is finals time and we need to win the cup"
The mighty magpie cheersquad knew the pies would never give up
Young Lonie from the half back line came down to lend a hand
Then Taz kicked a freakish goal that made the army stand.

McKee was winning in the ruck and the pies were on the rise,
"C'Mon boys, the flag is ours, it's the one and only prize"
The pies dug deep and fought like no others had before,
with a touch of luck on thier side, they'd kick the winning score


More verses to come.....

Excellent BJ! u are so good at this stuff!

"Then all of a sudden,
Jarrod Molloy ran on the ground,
Bumping the opposition,
Like a vicious, angry hound"

"He bulldozed through the players,
And came out with the ball,
Kicked it with perfection,
And it was a GOAL!" (that doesnt rhyme but anyways)

"The crowd went mental,
And onto the ground a young lady ran,
Gave a big hug to Jarrod,
Lisey, Jarrod's number 1 fan!"

hahahahah that has nothing to do with the man from snowy river but i like making poems. This is just making BJ remember to put Jarrod in his story!!!
Love always, Alyssa xoxo








Lisey Molloy! Jarrod Molloy's No.1 Fan!

how about

Another pass that missed its mark into the forward line
Another crumb that fell in vain with no-one there to shine
Another bomb from fifty that did the graze the last point post
Another jump too early and we've all but given up the ghost

And yet the pies did rally like they did in yonder year
When rowdy hit the deck and millane arose to calm our fear
When lethal leigh was coaching us and not the queensland hate
And nearly swiped young Eddie as he charged on through the gate



Hard at it. The Collingwood way.

[BJ]

PART 2 In this series:

The Siren Blew for quarter time, the pies were in a state,
4 goals 4 to Brisbane Lions, The pies had kicked one straight,
Mick rallied the troops to take them on, "hold on and fight
we'll sort them by half time yet, with mighty magpie might"

The whistle blew, the ball was bounced and the game went on again
Could the young magpies win against such ferociuos men?
Didak showed his true class with a 60 meter Kick
It landed 3 or 4 rows back and right between the sticks

The heat was on and the tempers boiled, the game was for the taking
The magpies had come to play, of this there's no mistaking
Jarrod was brought off the bench and right away hit home
He cleaned up Voss, then Lappin too, and kicked a goal of his own

To be continued....

Part III

Bucks was brought back on the ground after much discussion
He'd been hit head high at the first bounce and might have had concussion
The captain went in hard and strong and won the ball from Voss
There's only room for one champ here, That's the mighty maggie boss.

The game was hanging in the balance until the lions piled on 3,
'We need more drive from the centre' said Mick, 'switch Adkins for O'Bree'
Come on Pies the fans yelled out, We need another goal
As Licca passed to Johnson and he in turn to Cole.

Half time was nearly upon the game and you could sense it all around
This was the game of the season, perhaps the greatest at this ground
Cole still had the ball, but kicked to Lions defenders,
But then the turning point came, the bit everyone remembers.

The commentators all stood up and couldn't believe thier eyes,
ROCCCAAA Took the mark of year as he climbed towards the skies
As Anthony picked himself off the ground we heard the half time siren
He would've been 75 metres out, an inch less, I'd be lyin'

He sucked in hard and huffed and puffed and hunched over deep in thought,
'I'll have to kick this long and straight, I'm going for the torp'
He walked in slowly and kicked the life out of the sherrin Ball
"What a Kick- It's a Goal- OH YES!! Came the god allmighty Roar.


Half Time

Second Half:

The boys walked off as a group and as they headed for the race,
A brawl erupted of epic sorts, there was bedlam at the place.
The pies would lift from this the crowd knew that for sure,
And as MM walked off with team he yelled," Not the man- Play the ball".

The sides were in their respective rooms and the scores read like this,
Brisbane Lions 7 goals 10, the pies had kicked 4.6.
"We can beat this bunch from Brisbane town" said Mick with a glint in his eye,
"We can, we will, we'll do it for sure", he yelled with a furious cry.

The second half started, much as the first, the pies were put to the test,
3rd quarter football is the time to lift, they had to be at thier best.
The ball shot out to Wakelin, who moved it on to Chipper,
He bounced three times and baulked two Lions and then he kicked a ripper.

Things were looking up from here as O'Bree got it out to Nick
and when big Josh took a mark 30 meters out,another goal was kicked.
The ball started going forward an the pies were on the attack,
Leon came from nowhere and produced a magical snap.

Stuff the book - when's the film coming out? But then they'd put Jack Thompson playing Mick,and F***ing Bryan Brown playing Bucks

[BJ]

Another part:

The Lions were ringing the changes to stem the Magpie flow,
But when Leon kicked his second in a minute, the pies had 4 in a row.
The pies were winning every contest until O'bree and chipper went down
Mick looked at the match-ups and wore a worried frown.

"Put Monty back on the ball and what's the word on Tarks?"
"If he can run or even walk, we need him on the park"
The rest of the quarter was close, hard and tough,
4 goals to one for the quarter, no, this was not enough.

At three quarter time it was so close, the flag was on the line,
The Lions had crawled to 8 goals 12, the maggies 8 goals 9.
The last quarter was going to be a beauty, one to be remembered for ever,
30 minutes of pure guts, determination, big hearts and endeavour.


Almost finished..........
