AUFC Round 17 13 - Adelaide University Football Club

SUBSTANDARD
The Blacks’ Organ
Vol 18, August 10, 2013
Greetings and welcome to Volume 18 of Substandard, the Blacks Organ, for season 2013. The last round of
games was really just something to while away a few hours on a Saturday before the main event started,
being the Blacks Ball. And once again it was a huge success....the building is still standing, which is
unsurprising given that it was held in a sturdy car park, there were no reported deaths and breaches from
liquor licensing were in single figures. So all KPIs were comfortably met.
This week though its back to business and yet another massive weekend of milestones, with ex A grade
skipper TD and clubman extraordinaire Screecher in the limelight. A pretty short Substandard though due
primarily to a continuation of the Coaches match report strike, plus its almost lunch time. As always, if you
have anything interesting please send it through to chairman@bobneil.com, need some material for next
week.
ROUND 16 GAMES
We’ve called it round 16 but for all lower grade teams its actually round 18, with the C-Men and Kenny
Everitt Video Show definitely playing their last games for what has been a difficult season. And unless the
B*stards can convince Ugley to throw tomorrows game in the interests of playing the Blacks instead of
Salisbury North in the elimination final, which shouldn’t be too hard, then they’ll be joining in with the mad
Monday festivities as well.
Meanwhile, the A/B grade have crucial games at Opium Oval whilst the Scum/Chards head out to Fudge Field
for what should be a couple of canters. Full schedule as follows:
Div 1 (Beatle Lennon and the Yoko Oh-No's!!)
Div 1R (Spud O'Reilly & the non-fighting Irish)
Div 6 (Sexy Pimp and his C-Men)
Div 6R (The Kenny Everett Video Show)
Div 8 (The Chardonnay Socialists)
Div 8R (The Scum)
Div C1 (The B*stards)
Over 35s (The Greys)
Womens Team (The Girl Guides)

to go so make the effort to get along.
SAAFL SNIPPETS
In news from SAAFL headquarters, King “Elliot Ness” Kernahan has been a busy boy:
• Smutfield have been banned for the rest of the season after incurring a combined 24 game penalty from 2
of their players last week.
• Central Dis-United had a player suspended for 10 games on Wednesday night, which given that they have
a suspended sentence hanging over their head from memory, may result in a loss of premiership points.
So the C-Men may avoid relegation yet!
• And finally, a flagon of Port-land lad last week was reported for abuse of an umpire. After a 25% loading
but reduction for an early guilty plea he has been suspended for a lazy 19 games.
WAYNE “SCREECHER” ABREY 200 GAMES
Wayne ‘Screecher’ Abrey started at the Club in 1999 where he played 2 B grade games and 13 in the C’s,
coached by fellow FGA legend ‘Krazy’ Nick Vezis. Screech has now played 199 games in 15 seasons (missing
about 100 games with various soft tissue injuries), kicked an amazing 10 goals from Full Back and received 72
Club B&F votes. He famously took one for the Club in 2007 by coaching the C grade in Div 6, successfully
carrying out his duty in finishing bottom (0 wins) and being relegated to Div 7, where we won a flag 3 years
later. Screech can often be recognized at training running between strategically placed cones, and as you all
well know he has the loudest voice in Australian Football history bar none; in fact from first-hand experience
there has been more than one occasion where Screech has actually panicked me into thinking I had much
less time than I did have in reality as I ran out of the backlines.
Screecher is also the Secretary of the club and has been instrumental in the formation of the Womens team
this year. He does a massive amount of work around the club and is one of the truly great club-men the AUFC
has seen, as is Adelaides Leading Taxi Driver. Congrats Screecher, lets make sure as many punters as possible
get to Uni Oval and the Cumby tomorrow to celebrate with the man.

ROUND 17 RESULTS – BARE PASS
3 from 6, we’ll take that although on Blacks Ball day we’d normally expect a little better. As mentioned
earlier, the coaches strike continues so not much in the way of match reports this week.

Only match report of the week
TOM “JUMBO” DAVIES 150 GAMES
TD has been a defiant, proud and determined Blacks man from the outset since defecting to the Blacks from
the Old Reds (twice!!!). As an uncompromising defender with an ability to go into the midfield TD’s sheer
determination and competitiveness drove the A Grade to many finals appearances and wins with a highlight
being the determined 1 point win over Goodwood in 1999 on a sodden Adelaide Oval. He also captained the
club with distinction in 2001 and 2002. TD’s footy is defined by his intensity and his passion. Tommy hates to
lose, is not afraid to speak his mind and has high expectations for those that go into battle with him.
Those characteristics were a big reason for the success of the Blacks in the late 90s and early 2000s. It’s
difficult for those who weren’t there to appreciate what it was like to enter the field of play with both TD and
Shane ‘Herb’ McGahan in full-flight. They came to every game with a point to prove. They put body and soul
on the line, spitting venom at the enemy all the way, to show that their opponent was a dud, that our
opposition didn’t deserve to be on the park, that Uni was the best and that this was our week, our game, our
year. And why? ‘Because we bloody well owe these so-and-sos’ (or slightly more colourful words to that
effect).
With powerful running, a booming kick and the most thunderous thighs (proportional to body weight) in the
amateur league, TD dominated the half back line in his heyday. It’s a testament to his passion for the contest
that he’s still out there competing. 298 amateur games is a huge achievement, and the Blacks have been
lucky to have him for 150 of those.
Congrats TD on a great milestone and be sure to give someone a spray for old times sake.
Full Name: Tom Davies
Club Nickname/s: TD/Jumbo Prince/Skipper
Age: Height: Weight: 39!, 6’1, 98kg
Guernsey Number: #13 in the glory days, and #15 in Chards
Games Played: Goals Kicked: 149 games, 57 goals (Uni), 148 games, +60 goals (PAC)
Junior Footy Club: Walkerville, North Adelaide
Describe yourself as a footballer (In 30 words or less): Lucky. Once was fast, now slow. Reliable defender
Favourite Movie: Actor: Gerard Butler.
Favourite Player Nickname: “Birdshit” Haines. No need to explain
Least Favourite Opposition Club: Never been a fan of any other club. However, SMOSH, Central United and
Gaza would be front runners.
Favourite AFL Club: AFL Player: Essendon (yes, drug cheats), Terry Daniher, hard as nails. Wayne Carey,
superstar
Of the AUFC players you have played with which Player is? (Must not answer with yourself).
Smartest: Christian “Pucci Mama” Puccini. Never been wrong
Dumbest: Chris “Doile” Doyle. Not the dumbest, but selected due to knocking out close to 20 of his own
teammates and himself.
Funniest: Tim “T-shirt” Bryson and his bro Cameron “Blue Loo” Bryson. Hilarious
Angriest: Shane “Bad man” McGahan. Doesn’t like anyone
Best Looking: Darren “the Duck” Thomas. Just google 1990’s catalogue
Coaches Pet: Brenton “One Card” Cardone. Always got coaches votes.
Cockiest: Will “The Marquee Forward” Chapman. Just ask him.
Favourite Blacks Memory: After 1999 Grand Final win after all pubs and bars had closed, we were having a
party down on corner of South Terrace and Hutt Street. The house was littered with people, booze and a
number of other items, including a lawn mower. The highlight being John Kernahan firing up the lawn mower
and mowing the shag pile carpet in the lounge (with his pecker out). Gold! (eds note: i actually reckon this
was after the losing 2002 grand final, but granted they all meld into one massive session upon reflection.
Hard to tell the difference between a celebration and a commiseration at the Blacks)
Best sledge you’ve Given or received: Given to Drew Lister. “Drew, just before you kick it buddy, remember
you need to be at my place at 9am tomorrow to mow my lawns.” He proceeded to miss and have a stinker
Favourite Player at the Club & Why: Impossible as all legends. However, lots of respect for the “Superboot”
Mudge. Despite his whinging when young, he gave his all, and has done a great service to promote the club.
Favourite Blacks Song: Green Ginger Wine (Sweet Caroline)
Ask yourself a question and answer it: How would I rate my time at the Blacks? Priceless
MATCH REPORT OF THE WEEK – B*STARDS
The newly refurbished Mardi Gras Park was bitterly cold on Friday when the B@stards played their first ever
game under lights. We started off very slow (we hate the cold weather) and a few players appeared confused
as to why they were out on North East Road playing football at 7:30pm when they should be at the Hotel
Wright Street sipping boutique beers and chasing tail.
It took the Curry-Sauce combo to get the B@stards up and pumping, with Sauce laying down some solid hits
that would make even old Jimmy Tennant proud. Midway through the second quarter the B@stards hit their
stride with Phrayze playing a blinder - tagging out GAZA's rover whilst (accidentally) lacing out blokes in the
forward 50, it was a sight to behold. Condolences to J-Bag Johnston who will need a few j-bags now to
recover from his second broken finger in as many games...Speedy recovery Jimmy and hope you are out
again with us next year!
The final score was worrying though - this is a team we beat by 150 points earlier in the year....I guess if more
than 4 B@stards rocked up to training at any given time then we might be able to practice certain things like
marking, and kicking, and generally how to play the f**king game.
At least we were well represented socially at the Blacks Ball. BOG is a tie between DJ Paul Gurry and Max
'Anybody got a condom?' Jamieson
