Record for Rangas???

[mjp]

Is our current side setting a world record for the number of red heads taking the field?

I have a long held philosophy that every truly great team had at least ONE redhead. We are going for one on every line.

Mainstays - Red and Proud.
Richards and Jones down back.
Baker and Treloar in the mids.

Then there are the redhead 'adjacent' players:
Bramble? Yes or no?
Dale? Yes or No?
Harmes? Yes or No?

...

And Weightman? Yes or No?

I feel like I have missed someone...I could like, check the website but redheads have a sneaky habit of going blonde to cover up the ginger (and the fury that is just below the surface)?

Thoughts? Are we changing from Red, White and Blue to RED, white and blue??

We have an impressive history of Rangas at our club. Who is our club's greatest? You'd have to start with Brownlow Medallists Brad Hardie and Adam Cooney. Add Aker to the list too.

I reckon Treloar & Weightman are more blond than red. Dale & Harmes not sure. Bramble more redhead. But yeah we?ve got our fair share!!

Treloar is a red head, well maybe strawberry blonde :)

Have a look at his draft photos...regular access to a hairdresser does not make you blonde!!

Is that a bad word now??

[Bulldog4life]

From google. "Ranga" is a slang term used in New Zealand and Australians to refer to a person with red hair and is an abbreviation of "orangutan", a primate. It is considered an insult.

[mjp]

Right.

Never been an insult in my lifetime but noted. Sorry.

Not in mine either MJP.

What should the correct term be?

Is it still OK to call someone "Bluey" like Bluey Hampshire?

[Axe Man]

Definitely don't think Weightman is.

A shame we delisted Tim O'Brien.

Rooster pubes.

Hmm - I've looked back. I'm on the fence, depends on how early he started hiding his true self :cool:

This is seemingly red ish.

I'm not really worried by it, some others might be.

But, it's often a term used by morons who like to pick on things people can't change about themselves instead of the myriad things people actually can.

Rooster pubes.

Fanta pants

Hey hair dye!

I agree - not a fan of the term. It's an insult for a reason.

[Grantysghost]

Fanta pants

Ah - timeless classic.

I was called minestrone when I was a kid because I was so skinny.

What I've give to be called that again :cool:

Be rigatoni now!

[GVGjr]

Have we ever done a best Ginger Bulldog side here on WOOF?
We've had some ripper red headed players roll out for us over the years.
It's quite sad that so many of them try and hide their gingerness.

[Bulldog Joe]

Definitely don't think Weightman is.

A shame we delisted Tim O'Brien.

I always considered redheads to be fiery but there is an exception to every rule and I nominate Tim O'Brien as the exception on the redheads.

Graeme Cordy?

Yes and his much better brother Brian. And Ayce too, I reckon from Google searches.

Nathan Brown for sure too. He later definitely dyed his hair.

Daniel Southern, I reckon as well.

Yeah-fooled by peroxide. Freckles are usually a give away.

[mjp]

I think Weightman 100% is as well...

Apologies to anyone upset by the title of the thread...was certainly meant as a celebration rather than an insult.

[EasternWest]

A shame we delisted Tim O'Brien.

Said no one ever.

No love for Jimmy Plunkett…

No love for Jimmy Plunkett…

True Rangas have an angry mode hidden away, poor Jimmy lacked that.

[soupman]

Didn't Kretiuk have a bit of a red tinge as well?
