The Terrace

With an important game agains the Squawks this weekend, let’s take a step back to the electrifying eighties. This game includes 12 reports (eight belonging to Jacko), one infamous broken jaw (you can learn more about that in The Terrace’s N. Bruns profile), one broken nose and some very tight shorts. And that all equals some classic VFL football (‘some’ being the operative word, as there is no lack of ‘melees’). Of particular note and enjoyment is Bobby Skilton’s quotable qoute: “What happened to the football world. Joe? (asking the lone cameraman who can’t get get his camera off the brawling). Yeah, that’s where the ball is.” Oh, how times have changed…

The brawl – part 1

The brawl – part 2

The aftermath – part 3

By the way, does anyone out there know how many weeks Jacko got for his 8 reports?

Lastly, here’s to a win this Saturday boys. It’s fair to say we owe them a killer blow. Well, out of the finals and not death literally, if you get what we mean? Good.

Kind Regards,

The Terrace

“I don’t care if ya 13 years old and pregnant, if ya change teams I’ll kick ya outta the house…” Young lass, local establishment, Western Suburbs.

Well, those were the words of one fine young lass at the local last Saturday night, sharing her father’s stern words of warning regarding the prospect of club-support infidelity under his roof. Nothing to do with Geelong, Friday or YouTube really, but The Terrace thinks you’ll agree it was worth sharing nonetheless…

Anyway, Friday afternoon’s neither a time for reading verbose blogs nor doing work ; it’s clearly a day for watching classic footy moments on YouTube. So, as an inaugural YouTube Friday post and a pre-cursor to Sunday’s apparent mismatch (there are good odds on the Demons apparently), we thought we it’s only fair to share some footage of one of Geelong and Melbourne’s finest: Mark ‘Jacko’ Jackson. Enjoy!

By the way, if you happened to miss Junior’s goal from the Hickey pocket last week (ummm… i mean Wade pocket, but it just doesn’t sound as sweet, does it?) , then fret no more…here it is!
