COME ONE, COME ALL!!!

Floating in on the undercurrent of sublime ridiculousness so richly permeating WOOF these days, I present the WOOF Fan Club to end all WOOF Fan Clubs, dedicated to the most hard-done-by player (some would say larrikin) of the Western Bulldogs/Footscray Football Club in recent history, the much-maligned, unfairly-marginalised, VFL-dominating, rehab-session-missing, multiple-goalkicking reserve grade phenom:


GUY O' KEEFE!!!

Here's a photo of Guy:

Oh wait, that's Andrew O' Keefe.

Now THAT's Guy O' Keefe, who is valiantly trying to extract a football while being strangled.

Here is another photo of Guy:

I call this meeting to order, and kindly request that all regular VFL watchers (comrade, here's looking at you -- GVGjr is too dignified to waste his time with rubbish like this) please post your humble tributes to Mr. Lightning Hands himself right here.

It seems that Rocket is determined to not give GO'K a game, so in the honour of all fat, lazy, but smart-as-hell bastards who can read a game so well they could write you a novel with their eyes closed but can't get a call-up ahead of more physically blessed specimens like Tommy Williams who keep getting games despite not knowing where the ball is going to end up until it's long gone, I invite you to vent your spleen, drop your daks, and howl to the moon.. anything! to express your frustration at this perversion of the laws of the universe.

The GO'K Hall of Fame:

If physical attributes were more important than footballing intelligence these players would never have gotten a game:

SPOTLIGHT ON:
Guy O'Keefe
Guernsey Number: 30 Recruited from:
Height: 185cm Debut:
Weight: 77kg Date of birth: 5/12/1989

O'Keefe spent his first season at the Western Bulldogs at Williamstown in the VFL playing 23 games. He was recruited in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft as a forward, but made an impression in the midfield last season pushing forward and scoring 27 goals. Although lightly framed, O'Keefe is a lively prospect and will be pushing for senior selection in 2009.

I rekn if Rocket was a fan you would be a fan of Okeefe & this thread.

GOK is a gun footballer pure & simple & you cant fool us football purists!

GOK has been crucified by Eade & the match Committee & it caught up with us on Saturday if he had debuted on Saturday he would have kicked or created at least 1 goal with all the inside 50's we had & we would still be 3rd & not looking like losing our top 4 spot!

I for one think he is long overdue for some lovin god knows he aint getn it from Rocket!

Streeta is an example of someone whose physical attributes got him a game more than his football skills. I think EJ was being facetious in adding him. Perhaps Paul Haselby, Jose Romero, Robert Murphy fit the bill

Here's hoping this club can get G'OK a game as the Stack A-Go-Go group did for him

Ah, tis good to see some activity here -- good idea hujsh. Will get around to it when work allows a few minutes of bludging.

Just a new entry to the list of names (facetious or not.. 'tis not my place to edit the thoughts of the Flock):

10. JOBE WATSON.

To quote The Age today (17/08/09, after the Bombers' famous win over the Saints):

Treacle slow in the legs, he took years to convince even Essendon that he is worthy of a spot in the middle, and to find the level of fitness he needed. Yet yesterday it was St Kilda who made the mistake of not paying him enough respect; Luke Ball could not contain him and the Essendon midfielder's 37 disposals was the game-high by 10 touches. More to the point, his 15 contested balls and four centre clearances set the tone for his team. He was easily best afield.

GO'K and the Dogs should take heed.

[LostDoggy]

Streeta is an example of someone whose physical attributes got him a game more than his football skills.

I always thought Streeta was a good kick for a big man.

[Big_Willba]

the kid keeps performing, you have to give him that. in the best 6 AGAIN.

no matter the issues, hes obviously got a strong mindset to keep performing when he continuosly gets looked over for senior selection. good on the kid, hope he gets the chance one day to stick it up em.

[LostDoggy]

I really like Ocka, and want to see him in the bulldogs line up, but its pretty obvious it wont be this year......give him another full pre season and he will be better off for it.

It didnt hurt Crossy being held back.

Do you think because of the lack of oppurtunities for him he may look elsewhere? If he has good manangment you would think they would be looking for better oppurtunities for him yeah??

[LostDoggy]

I think it's pretty obvious that we will never see him in the Bulldogs line up (as long as Eade is there anyway).


Why do you think we will never see him in the Bulldogs line up?? Hes a 2nd year player and hes still only very young, hes been playing some good footy at Williamstown, but i dont think hes set the world on fire for them.

If he does stil around, i think we will see him in the Bulldogs line up next year, and he will play about 6 games imo.



Do you think because of the lack of oppurtunities for him he may look elsewhere? If he has good manangment you would think they would be looking for better oppurtunities for him yeah??

If he thinks he will have a better chance elsewhere, then i wouldnt hold it against him, but id love for him to stick around and play for the mighty red, white and blue next year.

he has gone dam close if he hasnt haha. him and skipper will probably be right up in the b&f if your going off the weekly reports and best apperances. yeh i agree and hope he sticks around but if an oppurtunity arises elsewhere i wont be suprised if he goes.

Church of GO'K-RO'KS

Weekly Bulletin 21 August 2009

This week, Guy once again proved that he was too good for the VFL, kicking a goal and being named in the bests in Williamstown's dominant win against Collingwood. GO'K has now been named in Willy's bests 5 times in the last 7 weeks (the other two weeks: he kicked two goals in one, and didn't play in the other after being named as an emergency for the Dogs). GO'K will go close to winning Willy's B&F this year (will definitely be in the top 3), one would think.

The question on everyone's lips, then, is this: will GO'K be forever destined to live in that netherland, recently inhabited by the likes of Peter Street, of being too good for the VFL but not quite good enough for the modern AFL game?

Or is he another Peter Bell, unfairly maligned for his perceived weaknesses and traded without being given sufficient opportunities, only to flourish in a different environment where his clearly magnificent talents were appreciated and used within a suitable gameplan?

Esteemed WOOFers, in your opinions, what would it take for GO'K to change Jolly Rocket Eade's mind and earn himself an opportunity to shine for our beloved Dogs? Please provide your answers in the form of one serious answer and one ridiculous one in the following format:

Serious Answer:
Radically/fanatically improve his fitness base

Get an afro (see diagram)

Brilliant question, Sir Knight.

I have myself been contemplating this in solitude, and in the humble wisdom bestowed upon me by the medieval fates, I believe that the church should long outlive GO'Ks particular affiliation to any 'club' or AFL list.

That way, we shall continue to bask in the glorious light of GO'K wherever his presence may grace, be it the majestic squallor of the VFL (heaven forbid, indeed) or tearing it up at some other club as a cautionary tale to us all of opportunities lost and gained.

Excelsior!

[LostDoggy]

I have just returned from training at the Whitten Oval and I enjoyed watching the marvellous skills and sheer brilliance of the mighty GOK strutting his stuff. ..........I think there were other players training as well, but I did not really notice them!!!!!!!!!!

[chef]

A sad time for all involved.

[LostDoggy]

I wonder if he'll pop up on a rookie list in a certain city to our north with a harbour and a strange-looking opera house.

I doubt it.

They were keen a while back but watched him pretty closely over the last 6 weeks of the season and appeared to lose interest.

[bulldogtragic]

Although not quite to the Mt Everest that Doog's Droogs was, and perhaps the beard, i just found GOK ROCKS from the archive and got a giggle... Just imagine if he was any good :)
