An important task for the tipsters of the DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP.

Please help DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP tipster, STIV in his plea to get his father in law over the line in the flower competition at the Big Canberra Flower Show.

STIV: On a Mission to rig a internet voting compition, The father in law has entered a flower comp at a big canberra flower show. Below is the plea from the wonderful VB on behalf of her Dad. All that is needed is lots of votes and I am sure the wonderful people from the DGES World famous tipping comp would love to help out. If you could email the link and whack it on the website to the world famous tipstars that would be grouse. Voting closes 12pm Thursday so I have given you stuff all time!!!!!!!!!

The link below should take you directly to DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP tipster, STIV’s Dad in law’s flower arrangement.
http://www.lindemansearlyharvest.com.au/events-competitions_garden-challenge.aspx?week=4&page=7 This one is labelled “Des” when you hover over it. It can be found in the second row, second last column.

If you can vote before 12noon Thursday October 8th then we might get enough votes for Dad to win.

Dad would be thrilled to win an internet voting competition.

TIPSMASTER’s note: Who can refuse a fellow tipster in need? I have been to the site and have discovered what a fine floral arrangement STIV’s F.I.L has produced. Regardless of STIV’s personal plea, I found Des’ arrangement to be the best one there so I gladly and unashamedly submitted my vote to Des’ posie.

Join me in our ditch effort to get Des’ stunning flower arrangement over the line.

Remember, you only have until midday Thursday to submit your vote.

DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP tipster, SMOOKS has sent us the task to share our thoughts on what could happen to Fev during trade week.

SMOOKS: It is with pleasure that I note that the AFL’s Greatest Knucklehead Brendan Fevola is being traded by those tanking Blues.

Word is that his Brownlow night shenanigans are too shocking to mention and as a consequence, the parties are heading their own direction.   

In my opinion, he must have done something as shocking as waking up next to Caroline Wilson in the morning. Uurrgghhhh 

Anyhow, it would be great to hear anyone else’s thoughts as to how pissed he really was.

Please share your thoughts on ‘The Fate of FEV’

Well done to all tipsters – just remember, simply participating makes you a winner in the DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP!

Michael Voss is currently the only FURC (Red head) coach in the AFL. It led me to thinking of previous FURC coaches of our great game and who may have been our most recent before Voss.

Your quiz for the week is to send me your list of FURC AFL coaches.

DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP tipster, SMITTY’s collection of BAD FOOTY CARDS.

SMITTY: My funniest footy cards…I’ll explain why.

1. Ron Alexander – never seen a player take the photo more seriously.  Looks like he got out his comb and some brylcream and trimmed the mo, then put on his most serious face.  Also he looks about 45 years old.

Tipsmaster’s note: Smitty – there’s nothing wrong with being 45 years old. I’m only a few years shy of 45 and you were in the same year as me at school…and Pear and Symo are there already…

2. Brian Walsh – as a kid I always hated this card even though he was an Essendon player, and he was one of those cards that you seemed to keep getting in every second pack you opened.  As a lid I thought he looked like a fat toad….nothing’s changed, he still looks like a fat toad.

Tipsmaster’s note: I too always hated this BAD FOOTY CARD – Just another famous ‘Walsh’ in the Essendon stable.

3. Wayne Primer – I think they got him out of bed and just told him “your hair looks fine, don’t worry about washing it just run a quick comb through it”.  I think Wayne had 365 bad hair days for a few years running.

Tipsmaster’s note: Primmer Donner? Click go the shears on that mop.

8.Phil Baker, Brent Crosswell, Frank Gumbleton & Malcolm Blight.  Nothing particularly funny bout these photos, but notice the signatures.  As a kid playing for Avondale Heights, we went and watched the Kangas train one cold winter night and I took my North Melb. footy cards in the hope of getting the signed.  I’ve included these cards to show Blighty for the tosser he was.  He refused to sign the card over his picture because “then you won’t see my face, son” and signed it on the reverse.  What a great ego. Did I ever tell the story about Kenny Fletcher and the dud cheque?……….

Tipsmaster’s note: Frank Gumbleton always looked about 45 and Snake Baker is a dead ringer for Marty Feldman! P.S. The Ken Fletcher dud cheque is a great story, Smitty…

. David Cloke, Gary Cowton, Peter Welsh & Goeff Raines -  a good sample of gay men hiding in the 1970’s.  I’ve actually got about 3 years running of Gary Cowton looking like this and I have a theory that he talked Peter Welsh into going to the hairdressers with him one day and getting the same perm.  Peter Welsh then tried to grow that beard to look a little more manly whilst Gary stuck with his mo as it worked a treat at the Blue Oyster Bar.

Tipsmaster’s note: They are brilliant BAD FOOTY CARDS, Smitty – P.S. Barnsey had a perm once – I’m still trying to get a hold of the photo…watch this space…

6. Ian Miller & Barry Padley – are these the scariest footballers you’ve ever seen, they both look like they’re just about to knock the shit out of the photographer. I think Barry was just asking the photographer “what the fuck are you looking at” as he was snapped.

Tipsmaster’s note: Avondale boys for sure, these 2

5. Kelvin Templeton – A true Bult lookalike, nothing more needs to be said.

Tipsmaster’s note: You know what they say, 1 in 3 of the world’s population is a Bult!

BAD FOOTY CARDS – episode 2

BAD MAL BROWN is our nominee for episode 2 of the BAD FOOTY CARDS competition.

Mal obviously thought it was fashion to wear Brown Corduroy Paddington Bear pants to footy training.

Then again, Mal Brown is so tough he can wear what he wants…

DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP tipster, Peter Ingleton from team INGO has his own thoughts on the North Melbourne Clash Strip:

I believe a recruiting officer from North got very desperate and took a trip to Guatemala to find some talent, all he came back with was the country’s flag and some dick at North thought it would be a good look for their clash jumper. The old poo and wee jumper is looking better and better every week, big thanks to Port and North.

Peter.

I couldn’t help thinking that North Melbourne’s latest guersey resembled a CHUX SUPERWIPE.

As such, Collingwood put them to good use.

Let me know what you thought of North Melbourne’s latest clash strip.

BAD FOOTY CARDS – episode 1

TOM PARK – F.U.R.C  was obviously recruited to the Bombers for the joke and giggle factor.

BEHOLD!

My footy card collection has been missing, believed lost or stolen since the late 20th century. That was until a recent clean up in the laundry cupboard at home produced a mysterious, unidentified box, gathering cob webs and dust up the back.

Upon further inspection, this box proved to be the long lost footy cards box.

What a find!

Not since the legendary Lee Kernaghan Shirt and the Mislaid Ken Fletcher Dud Cheque was located, has a find of such significance been discovered at the archaeological dig at your tipsmaster’s house in Essendon, Victoria, Australia.

Hours of perusing and chuckling have led me to introduce you to the latest competition in the DGES WORLD FAMOUS FOOTY TIPPING COMP.

BAD FOOTY CARDS

I’m going to periodically send you my versions of ‘BAD FOOTY CARDS’ and I encourage you to do the same.

Please send my your copies of your worst ‘BAD FOOTY CARDS‘ for all of us to enjoy.

Tipsmaster’s note: please let me know if you would like to learn more about the Leigh Kernaghan Shirt and the Mislaid Ken Fletcher Dud Cheque
