All Australian - Spoony

enlarge | reduce

At the recent Master Football Australian Carnival held at the picturesque surroundings of the Riverview College on the Lane Cove River, two current Terrigal Avoca Panthers represented our club playing for Tasmania, of all states, in the “Supers” division of the carnival.

Tasmania had some trouble filling the 35-40 age group due to players having other commitments, so Dave Grimmond and Mal Cooper answered the call from long time Terrigal player and life member Mick Moore (now residing back home) to help Tassie hold up there obligations.

Terrigal was well represented at the carnival, besides the two already mentioned, Mick Moore, ex premiership player and Life Member (Tasmania) and ex Premiership player/coach Dean Wall (Queensland) also throwing the boots on and showing they have not lost anything.

After defeating the strong Victoria Metro team (containing no less than Tony Libratore – Brownlow Medallist) in the first game things looked good and as a result guaranteed that Tassie would remain in the top division of this competition. “Spoony” showed why he is held in such high regard in the BDAFL by starring at Centre Half Back with Mal Cooper’s (forward flank) trusty boot again showing why he spent most of his playing career in the Ruck by missing two sitters. But we won and that’s what counts.

In the second game we fronted up to a BIG Queensland team and we got a touch up. Spoony or should that be “SPOONA” (as the Tassie boys nicknamed him) lined up at the first bounce at Fullback on Mark “THE FRIDGE” Roberts, AFL Life Member and Kangaroos Premiership player. Dave held his own against the big unit but due to our lack on movement from the middle was shifted into the fray. Mal (wing-didn’t they tell you he cannot run, centre half back, forward flank???), well he tried to take some hatchet man out and ended up with a bung finger as well as a hip injury (some things never change) that put paid to his carnival.

In game three Tassie still had a chance of winning their division with a big win over the “Sand Gropers” from WA. Dave again showed CLASS and was Tassie’s best player in a very classy display.

Shock was the Victoria Metro some how beat Queensland and ended up being the winners of the age group. We ended up third on % with two wins from three games.

But great news was to come with Dave named in the ALL-Australian team for the Super’s age group. A great achievement Dave, and one that you should be very proud of. And not too bad for someone who had never played a game in masters before this carnival, bet you NSW will be putting a contract in front of him very soon with Mal Cooper to be traded to the knackery.

This is the second year in a row that a Terrigal player has won All Australian honours with Mick Moore being picked last year.

We both have our Tasmanian State Jumpers and I know they will hold pride of place especially in the cooper household after a few beers.

All in all it was a great experience and something all you other players can look forward to when you get to the over 35 age group, eh Billy, Andrew Morrisby.

Next year it’s at Darwin so start saving your reddies for what is a fun and enjoyable experience.
