Hollywood flees country! (To Hollywood!)

Mystery surrounds the reasons why our perennial squad member Hollywood has fled Australia for the United States.  

Here at Partisans! we can reveal the answer.  While the public story is that he is involved in assisting the US labor movement to learn from itself, others have suggested Hollywood's widely acknowledged talent for mimicry has scored him a gig in his eponymous city.

Partisans can reveal the real reason.  The AFL roster this week sees Collingwood line up for the annual upset against Richmond.  Having last night advised Phabulous that Richmond wins over Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon in one year equate to a Premiership how many others can claim their team is 1/3rd of the way to a Premiership already?  The only thing that worries me is it may be too early in the season for an upset to have a real effect on the Pie supporters.  For that reason the boys from Tigerland may opt to help set up Collingwood for a later fall - by tanking this week. It's all part of the 15 year plan.  

Of course the other reason may be that Hollywood doesn't want to have to front up with another bottle of red for me on the morning after the match.

Stay tuned for more travel plans.

Coach, surely even Americans aren't stupid enough to take a Collingwood supporter seriously.

No doubt Phabulous was impressed with your statistical nous and concurred with the logic of your prediction.

I can tell from this distance (new york..yes if i can make it here) that the rabble that are the richmond football are pillowing in April this year as oppossed to May or June..the 15 year plan is delayed by at least 5.

For Coach (read boot studder) to play the tanking card so early shows how little ticker tiger fans have, they are only matched in that department by the tiger playing list themselves..

bring on the Vino super coach

In relation to my visit to the US all I can say is with the Presidential primaries coming to the sharp end they have decided to wheel in the big guns..

Yes We Can Barack...

News Flash!

Hollywood gets lost on subway: smells funny.

Union boss and lawn bowls heavyweight Hollywood O'Byrne has been found wandering the subway in New York city. Instead of taking the '2' poor Hollywood got on the '4' and ended up somwhere in Brooklyn.

Youthful exuberance and optimism soon turned to dispair as the dolcet cry of 'Partisans' brought no one rushing to his side. Could it be the 12,000 miles; or was it the fact that Coach was busy limbering up for the 'premiership' and had the pilates up too loud?

The huge pile of ground mince between sugary bun (read American hamburger) would be traded in an instant for a cold cascade and a Woolworths snag. While Hollywood eventually found his way back to civilisation he knew... Hillary's stuffed.

What a geographical spread. New York, Sydney, Canberra and Hobart - we have all the hot spots covered.

Given Kerryl's contributions we may have another spot covered without any internet connections at all!

Whatever you do Hollywood don't be tempted to taste the New York pretzels from the vendors. No matter what the tourist value or the facination with the machine-dispensed cheese - it's not worth it! You'll never get the taste of salty cardboard out of your mouth!!

Coach, you failed to include Pahbulous as a correspondent - albeit as a ventriloquist...but I believe he has relocated to Sunshine in preparation for a repeat of 1954.
