Pony hall of fame

Sorry to have missed the end of season, sounded good. Perhaps a match report is required, or just any tales of stupidity and drunken excess ...

So I ran into GMann today, who told me about his well deserved pony of the year (and the way he celebrated with the wrong trophy!).

Of course, there was astonishment as to why he received so many ponies:
- 'No one has received a pony for being late before' (Umm no stallion has ever shown up at 2.30 for a 12.30 game!)
- ' I got Pony for being late twice! (Umm the second time you had the strip for the entire team!)
- 'The only on-field pony I got was for a foul throw!' (Umm, try 4572 foul throws!)

Ha, nicely done G, all done with great humour, and that trophy mixup is brilliant.

Got me thinking though, who else has been pony and for what? This shit needs to be documented. Ones I recall:
2011: Graham - persistent pony infringement
2010: The Uni Raiders - An embarrassment to Div 7 (see you next season)
2009: Unsure if it was Paddy for a fall from grace from 1st team, and being unable to score in Div 7, or Ben Hodges for persistent infringement we never thought we would see the likes of again.
Any others? I remember Jules got it once.

So thats probably the blog for the season, its been grand ...

Paddy gets player of the season, golden boot, 2 best goals of the season, fantasy champion, fwit of the season - all well deserved, it was a pleasure Paddy.

Thanks to multiple votes from Rauru determined not to have that first game attempted chip of the keeper voted worst miss of the season,  the prize goes to Dan for that header.

Well deserved Paddy, talisman comes to mind...

Really good season boys, we played some good stuff.

Pretty sure me and Lloyd shared the Pony in 2007 for being the "star signings" from the first team, only to almost propel the Stallions to relegation to Div 8 for the first time in history....
