With apologies to Bob Dylan’s iconic “Subterranean Homesick Blues”, last night’s effort by Carlton against Port had me feeling Blues of a different kind.

Boys are in Adelaide mixing up the Power I’m in the lounge room Thinking about the AFL
The man in the duffle coat membership paid off She’s got a loud voice looking for another choice
Look out Mick It something you did God knows when You better look down the draft list lookin’ for some new men
Man in a blues cap trying not to mock Wants eleven Juddys But you only got Brock
Murphy comes gets a sore head Gibbs giving no hoot Jarrad doesnt give a root Plants in the rooms but The place’s tapped anyway Magpies every which way We were stuffed in early May
Look out Mick No clue what you did players on their tip toes mixing coke with nodose Better show us what you got Seems as though ya lost the plot Was it you that started the rot Watch for the fans Mick their the ones that ya need to trick You don’t need a weather man the punters say we need a plan
Second half, same shit Hang to the death knell? Not sure but what the hell
We need a flag to sell Try hard, gettin beat down back, Jammo’s frail Jarrod Waite, massive fail play the twos, most stale Look out Mick you grumpy old prick Poor users, cheaters long time losers Hang around the heaters Girl in the cheer squad looking for a new club No one follows leaders The intensity has weakened
Ah were gone, fans mourn Been pantsed, bromance, need to chance. Distressed, depressed Try to be a success Please sir, please Mick, buy pricks Don’t bludge, please lift another year of tooling and they put you on the delist
Look out Mick you grumpy old prick duck now, half brick Light yourself a candle give away the sandals Try to avoid the scandal Don’t want to be a bum games lost, I’m done The plan ain’t fun Cause the Blues lost their man jewels

About Tony Robb
A life long Blues supporter of 49 years who has seen some light at the end of the tunnel that isn't Mick Malthouse driving a train.
Dead set, rolled gold classic Tony. I was pissing myself while I was editing it. “Look out Mick, you grumpy old prick” and so many other brilliant lines. It all fits perfectly with the meter and rhythm of the song.
I had to add the video for the under 40’s.
Thanks TR – you made my day/week/month.
Thank You Tony.
A true gem, and much more fun than scrolling through the remarks of disgruntlement on Big Footy forums. In defence of the baggers though, they have been so brave for the past month, have given their all, and had no more to give. After all, they have been through so much….
But you have the silver fox pinned, and unlike Mr Zimmerman, he is most surely well past his use by date.
BRING BACK RATTEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Bloody brilliant!
If I wasn’t still crying so hard this would be funnier. Bravo TR.
Am I to presume you partook of His Bobness on the current tour?
JB
I have a problem about paying overs for old bastards in their 70s trying the fleece the punters “one last time” with nothing but nostalgia on offer. At least with Bob, his voice never sounded any good.
Cheers

JB,
I think the sentiment you (and I) are feeling is captured in George McGovern”s address to his supporters after the 1972 Watergate election in which he was defeated by Richard Nixon by a margin equivalent to the Blues’ humiliation on Friday night:
“I’m too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh”.
Anyway, Tony your channeling the great Bobby D. – with such precision as Peter B has noted – did give me a chuckle.
Mick himself, however, after his previous experiences at Collingwood might prefer to go with another Dylan song, the final four lines of the last verse of Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
“Here I sit so patiently
Trying to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice.”
Dave
love your work
TR
Great work Tony.
You should hire a barn and put on a show TR.
Can’t wait for the live version on Youtube.
Mick Malthouse, he could not keep
All his players from falling asleep
“Ain’t gonna rebuild, cos that’s too steep
And our boys can push through this”
Well done Tony, something very funny from a forgettable effort.
Perhaps he took “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” too much into account with his game plan.
Thanks All
I will be doing a Youtube clip in the future
Cheers
TR
