BAD FOOTY CARD from Smooks

This BAD FOOTY CARD was sent to us by former DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP tipster, Glen Smooker from team SMUK. I’m having trouble pronouncing the name on this Bad Footy Card,  but I’m pretty sure his name is a sentence of some kind.

TIPSMASTER’s NOTE: Great BAD FOOTY CARD SMUK! Did you manage to collect the whole family collection?

Rusty’s brother Mike Kuntz, uncle Justin Kuntz, cousin Ivor Kuntz, nephew Phil Kuntz and sister Ima Kuntz.

I bet they can all fight…

Rusty’s credentials:

Wikipedia reports that this guy made his Major League Baseball debut with the White Sox on September 1, 1979. After being used sparingly by the Sox for four seasons, He was traded to the Minnesota Twins, then to the Detroit Tigers after the 1983 season. With Detroit in 1984, he had the best numbers of his career, a .286 average and an excellent .393 on-base percentage, although he appeared in only 84 games, mostly as a pinch-hitter and fourth outfielder.

In the fifth and deciding game of the 1984 World Series against the San Diego Padres, he pinch-hit for DH Johnny Grubb with the bases loaded and the score tied at three. He hit a pop-up to short right field that Tony Gwynn was unable to see (”I lost the ball in the sky,” he later admitted). Second basemen Alan Wiggins made the catch, but was unable to prevent Kirk Gibson from racing home from third with the go-ahead run. The Tigers never trailed after that, giving him an unlikely game-winning RBI. Rusty returned the Tigers in 1985 but appeared in just five games for Detroit (last on April 24, 1985) before being sent to the minors. After batting just .222 for AAA Nashville, he then retired as a player.

Thanks to Smuk for a great contribution for our latest episode of BAD FOOTY CARDS

BAD FOOTY CARDS – episode 11

ELLIOT PERRY

Elliot Perry was always known as a sensible basketballer. So sensible in fact that he always abided by the Boy Scouts ‘Be Prepared’ rule.

You see, Elliot Perry was concerned that the basketball arena was going to become flooded, hence – he wore his sensible goggles…or maybe he was going snorkling after the game…or maybe he was a welder in the off season…or maybe he just needed coke bottle glasses…or maybe he was worried about getting swine flu in the eye…or maybe he was just a dick.

Elliot Perry is our undisputed winner of BAD FOOTY CARDS – episode 11

Jim Stynes – the next challenge.

Jim Stynes is one of the great AFL stories of all time.

• Irish born AFL footballer
• AFL Brownlow Medalist
• AFL  anti-racism officer
• Four time Melbourne Football Club Best and fairest winner
• AFL player’s association MVP winner (Leigh Matthews Trophy)
• Two time AFL All Australian
• 224 continuous AFL games (a league record)
• Melbourne Football Club President
• Charity worker for the youth Reach Foundation
• Author
• Order of Australia medal winner
• AFL Hall of Fame inductee
• Melbourne Football Club team of the century.

I can’t help but admire the achievements of the gallant, ruckman, workhorse, Jim E Stynes.

Stynes  is  one of the few AFL players who have commanded the respect of players and supporters of all clubs. You never hear of anyone having a bad word for Jim Stynes who achieved almost all there is to achieve in an AFL career. A fantastic effort for someone who was not brought up on our game, but adopted and conquered AFL Football in a 264 game, 130 goal career.

Everyone will recall the day he ran over the mark in the Preliminary Final at VFL Park to allow Gary Buckenara a 15 meter penalty for a goal after the siren to kick Hawthorn into the 1987 Grand Final.

Others will recall the day Stynes wore a hat in a pre-season game much to the amusement of all watching.

I have Jim Stynes’ autograph twice. One which says: “To Col, thanks for the hat – Best wishes, Jim Stynes” which proves this great man also has a sense of humour. I laugh every time I look at it. (Thanks to DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP tipster, Pear for organizing this Jim Stynes autograph) The other says “To Colin. Go Dees, Jim Stynes”

Jim Stynes is a strong man of courage and principles. I read today with anguish the news that Jim Stynes has begun a new chapter in his life. The battle against Cancer.

On behalf of the DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP, I extend our best wishes to Jim Stynes on his latest fight and for a speedy recovery. I’m sure he will draw on the strength and courage that has always served him so well to overcome his latest challenge.

BYRD’s eye view of Essendon v Carlton

DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP tipster, Carlton 
supporter and one of our Italian correspondents, Nadia 
Suric of team 'BYRD'has given us her valued 
opinions of the Carlton Footy Club aftertheir 
miraculous loss to Essendon last Friday Night:

Da Da_Da Da_Da Da_Da
Buona sera Maestro Colino,

Not a happy gal happy caro Maestro,
not happy at all. GGGRRR!!!!

What the hell were my Blue Boys thinking?
I cannot believe that we were literally
thrashed on Friday night.... Now Listen here!

Stop laughing you just got lucky alright!!

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! Damn them!!!

I've ran out of cardboard boxes to kick,
maybe I should start head butting the
neighbour's cat!

Picture this, the whole Suric clan with
one notable exception (Uncle Ev) geared up
in front of the telly with pizza,

(Ah yes, the famous L'Osteria Pizzeria in down town
Rathdowne Street Carlton) copious amount of
lager and the Carlton scarfs draped around
our throats. hmmmmmm or should I draped the

scarf around Fev's throat in the shape of a noose?

Bloody hell what a shit performance,
(Don't you even think of commenting Maestro
if you know what's good for you)

Juddy he's not any better he was bloody
useless as well,it was so excruciating to
watch the game, by third quarter I gave up!
You know what really shits me? we lost with

St Kilda the week before by 9 points 9 points!!!

Vai Fanculo!!!

Bloody Uncle Ev, for some ungodly reason
she tipped Carlton and vowed to never ever
tip Carlton again and be warned Caro Maestro,
Uncle Ev will break the Cardinal Rule

of N.P.R. Yup she sure will,
I'm gunna let the whole world

know she's breaking the law including the Fed's.

Yeah Yeah, chuck her in the slammer!

I still have my faith, well we're playing
Freo but after last week's performance

God only knows?...................Sigh...................

Judd caught moonlighting

Carlton champ Chris Judd has been working extra jobs outside of his football career. DGES FOOTYTALK has discovered that Judd is also staring in movies to help pay the bills. So far, Judd has picked up the plumb roles as Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies and also the evil Dr Hannibal Lecter.

You never know, we may see Judd feature at this year’s Brownlow and at the Oscars…

Watch this space.

Adam Gray (alias A Gray Superstar) – Bad Footy Card circa 2005 Strathmore Under 12

Gray is captured here, running away from the camera man. Rumour has it that Gray siezed the opportunity while all the other kids were distracted by the Footy Card Photographer Bloke. Gray grabbed the footy, ran the length of the field and booted the goal.

AFL and the Cancer Awareness Cause

 

A rant by Hooter

Funny how the league allow those scum bucket Blue baggers to wear a yellow jumper for cancer awareness, yet for the past 3-4 years have deprived Essendon from wearing yellow armbands to support a player suffering from cancer…now the parasites at the league are “100% behind” the cause and have a Cancer Awareness match between Essendon & Melbourne and allow armbands, no money to be made from armbands is there…….Demetriou and Anderson are in the same league as Hutchison…parasitic turds out to line their own nests…what the hell was Adrian Anderson before he bummed his way into this job…fark off league administrators…you sh1t me!!!!
