Blue and Gold Malaria

The day would soon arrive, when I could not ignore the rashI was obviously I'll, so I called on Doctor NashDoc, I wonder if you might explain this allergy of mineI get these pins and needles running up and down my spineWell the Doctor scratched his melon, with a rather worried lookHis furrowed brow suggested that the news to come was crook"What is it Doc",I motioned, "Have I got a rare disease""I'm man enough to cop it, so give it to me please"When is it that you feel this peculiar condition?I thought for just a moment, then I gave him my positionI get it when I'm queuing to watch the Blue and GoldAnd I get it when I see the opposition really start to foldI got it when the Zip Zip man scored another tryAnd when Cronin, Kenny and Sterlo really let that damn ball flyI got it when Fui Fui made a crushing run,Not to mention when the Hayne Plane left the opposition stunned,I got it when the Guru roared down the line,And I get it when Semi gets the ball, every timeI got it when Burty kicked a goal aplenty,And I got it when Chrissy kicked a forty twenty.So tell me Doc, I questioned, "am I really gonna die?"He broke into a smile, before he looked me in the eye,As he fumbled with his stethoscope and pushed it out of reach,He wiped away a tear, then he gave this little speech."From the Great Australian Bight up to the Gulf of Carpentaria,The medical profession call it the "Blue and Gold Malaria",But forget about the text books son, the truth I shouldn't hide,The rash that you've contracted here is "good old Parra pride"I'm afraid that you were born with it, and one thing is for sure,You'll die with it young man, because there isn't any cureWith apologies to Rupert McCall

" He was never coming here as soon as they put their hat into the ring it was all over I personally didn't want him at that age he probably wanted a 3 year deal as well we have more than enough middles who are going to be very good in the next few…"

"I don't understand Finny, what makes you think he even wanted to come to Parra, even if we offered overs.
I made the point that the only real leverage we had was Westmead Childrens Hospital, as it turns out the Lady Cilento Childrens Hospital in…"

"Analyst, what makes you think he should have chosen us when he can go to the Premiers and replace the best forward in the world......are you daft and you have the temerity to blame O'Neil.
Exactly tell us where you think O'Neil did wrong?"
