Greg Champion is Guru Bob on the Coodabeen Champions.
Arguably his greatest saying is:
I asked the Supreme Master:
"Supreme Master, why does Collingwood have any fans at all?
He replied:
"Guru Bob. Why does an ugly child, have a mother who loves it?
Think about that.
And these songs are dead set classics!!!
MEMBERS OF THE MCC
tune: born to run [springsteen] words: john ogge-champion
1.
by day we sit in the boardrooms of
our Daddies’ companies
at night we drive down Balwyn Road
in our 4 wheel drive machines
raised on Melway map 59
we grew up living on the right side of the tramlines - woh -
baby my Volvo’s got a roof rack
and the private school kiddies in the back
they go to Wesley and Haileybury
and baby blokes like us we’re members of the MCC
2.
I keep the chains and the ski gear in the 4 car garage
For the long weekends
I’m tossing up between a Lexus and a Merc.
To go with my BM
Baby it’s been a long season
And I might go insane if I don’t escape to Dinner Plain - woh -
When we get through this financial year
If the Nasdaq’s right I’m gonna
Hit the slopes in France or Italy
and baby blokes like us we’re members of the MCC
3.
I’m gonna flash my medallion
Meet some friends of the old man
For a pre-game chardonnay
We’re gonna shoot the breeze about Securities
And find out who’s playin’ today
Baby I’m getting’ tired of all these jokers
who keep singing sarcastic songs about the Dees
and baby blokes like us we’re members of the MCC and
CRUCIAL STATS
words: Stuart McArthur - Greg Champion
( tune: Kool For Kats - UK Squeeze )
The coach is sendin’ signals
from the box behind the glass
The full back moves in tighter
to prevent a forward pass
The tagging back is sledging
as the go-to forward leads
He doesn’t mind the language
it’s the turn-overs ‘e needs
Today’s key indicator
is reducing needless frees
If they up their tackle tally
and their clanger count is flat
they’ll boost their one-percenters
BE-cause these are crucial stats
they’re crucial….
CRU - CIAL STATS!
Our centre breaks are dreadful
coz we got nowhere to go
They got a gang of midfielders
wot we can’t overfrow
We only kicked one goal
and it was early in the game
Since then we missed eleven
it is SUCH a bleedin shame
It’s funny how our misses always look the bleedin same
but - meanwhile in the rezzies there’s a coupla likely lads
been gettin’ fifty touches
and they’re very crucial stats
they’re crucial...
CRU - CIAL STATS!
To mix it up a little
we rotate the resting ruck
He’s bloody hard to deal with
coz ‘e likes to run amuck
He fancies this ‘e fancies that
he wants to be so flash
He tries to stooge his tagger
into going for the bash
The VFL is calling him - he's heading for a crash
He’s - gotta learn the center square is not a wrestlin’ mat
and work on ‘is effective taps
coz they are crucial stats
they’re crucial….
CRU - CIAL STATS!
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
