Though hard against the boundary line
he executes a dribble kick.
The footy skips across the turf,
then somehow trickles through the sticks.

  1. Nice, Damo.

    I am often sceptical about father/son selections, as often they are afforded opportunities that other kids are not. But young Daicos is certainly stamping himself as worthy.

  2. Luke Reynolds says

    Love it Damo.

    What a beautiful picture of your collection, have no doubt about it being just a “small sample”.

  3. Kevin Densley says

    Sums it up well, DB!

  4. Rulebook says

    Excellent DB !

  5. Poetry in motion Damo for the great Daics who was the ultimate of poetry in motion!
