I've been giving all this a bit more thought....
The AwFl want more pre-match entertainment...forgotten the term they use (was it crown inclusion?..or immersion?...or something..??)
Well, I wonder if we could get Scotty's Osprey in on the act?? A trained seabird of prey flying in and doing a couple of laps of 'The Craypot' before each game would be a whole lot better than some of the tripe we get now,.
But, if said Osprey could be trained to hunt, down, and maim a certain wedgetail eagle before each 'Other Team's' home Derby, well...I reckon we could really be on to something!!!
It would really get some 'crowd inclusion' going!!
In fact, an Osprey would be a damned good mascot, for mine...a whole lot better than the one we've got!
Having said that, wouldn't it be great if, each week, we could have a 'Freo Legend' - such as Scotty - walk a lap of the oval, just so we can remember..pay some homage...give them some thanks, pay some courtesy to them for what they provided us many years ago.
Allow us to tell 'em that 'we remember them'.
Allow us to tell our children about who they were and what they did.
Build some culture...culture that is all too soon being eroded by Cockburn HQ and all their "Whiz-bang" marketing ideas...
Anyhow, trot out a different bloke from yesteryear before each match. Maybe someone like the Wiz could wander around each forward pocket, get on the impossible angle and plonk a few through.
I reckon Clive could potentially bring the house down if he did a lap.
I'd much rather paying my respects to some of these gents - representative of 'Freo' - , than watch Johnny the Doc do whatever Johnny the Doc is meant to be doing...
