On top of the gold medals & the fact that he drinks at the pub I went to as a Uni student......

he was on MMM this morning & got a call from Stevo & Fev. Turns out the world's best pole vaulter is a bluebagger & will be at training this friday at 11am.

Stevo said Fev only needs 8 kicks & he'll get the ton. Fev said he won't get it coz he's going to line up on Buddy instead to get the 100 kicked on him :lol: He then said the win was more important than the ton.

PS - Too hard to find the famous Carlton supporters thread. :wink:

I was looking for that thread too!!! :lol:

When he was interviewed after his gold medal win he said his number 1 sporting dream was to kick the winning goal for Carlton in a Grand Final whilst we were 5 points down to bring home the flag. He then finished by saying that winning gold at the Olympics came a good second to that. He’s a champ and his effort at the Olympics were unbelievable!

Actually I was meaning to hook up a post about this.

After his gold, I read a snippet in the paper about Hooker after he won his gold that went a little like this:

'After winning Gold, Hooker was asked if he has wanted to win Pole Vaulting Gold when he was a kid. "When I was a kid, my dream was to kick the winning goal after the siren in the Granny for the Blues!"'

No Gold medal dreams for Hooker as a kid - just wanted to play for the Blues!

I agree. Good luck to Buddy trying to kick around the man on the mark when he's swinging around on a pole 5m above the ground. 8)

If he's a true Blue, he'll trade that in for a Hyundai. :P

He's a better looking ranga than Ling.

Probably doesn't have a soul though.
