Bluebaggers 2012 – Round 20 – Brock McLean

6 Aug

He’s had a funny old time at Carlton but Brock McLean has made a real go of it … just stay away from Twitter mate.

2012 Premiers Round – Jarrad Waite (number 30)

3 Aug

I love this dude – he’s so damn athletic and he looks a little like a wolf roving around. He doesn’t really run so much as lope. And he’s such a good mark!!

AND – he’s played for the mighty Blues for 150 games!!!! This week against the mighty Swans at Etihad (where we haven’t had the best bunch of games, it must be said).
For other pics in the series go here
(By the way – just ignore the bits in the picture that say Round 7 and The Saints … I drew this months ago and then found out that he was being rested, then injured … and then he didn’t come back until this round – … so he didn’t reach 150 until this week … I’ll fix it up after I get the score at the end of the game)

You can preorder a copy of the book (to be printed early 2013) in September! For more details – go to this facebook site or check back here form September to December.

On these pages here I broke from the panels completely – It was an exceptionally wordy part … but I kind of liked the conversation in the essay and didn’t want to scrap that chatting aspect to the writing.  In fact – in my mind I had a second name for the third chapter – The Conversation. Most of what’s written here is probably known in Australia and isn’t really ground-breaking stuff – the bit that quite dig is the last bit on the last page which implies that what is happening to Indigenous people is a process that is affecting us all … which is something I feel keenly in this country – the trauma of colonisation is something felt by everyone, whether they are aware of it or not.

Next month I will commence a massive funding campaign to see if we can together organise enough pledges to get a good print-run off the ground!!

Bluebagger Round #17 – Duigan

18 Jul

Well … it’s been a strange week – we have no captain … I’m not even certain we have a vice captain these days.

But here’s a man with balls –

How good is this! the DEAD HEART!

Rough sketch of poster

7 Jul

This is a sketch I did for an abandoned project recently … well – I abandoned the concept for the poster … I still kind of like the picture … and i turned it upside down to look at this way – I like it even more … but I won’t use it because I’m not sure about the theme for the concert that it’s for yet … that’s in November – stay tuned.

Shaun HAMMER Hampson

5 Jul

Number #22 – Shaun Hampson had eye surgery in the off season – he’s been playing some absolute corkers despite the team having a form slump!

We play the Pies for the second time this season – GO BLUES!!!

Other Blues in the series

Carlton Blues, 100 Blue games – Chris Judd

26 Jun


I think that the strapping is also to help contain his monstrous desire for another premiership … maybe he’ll let the strapping come undone in the finals series and let the world feel his wrath!!! This week he has played 100 games for Carlton!! After having played 132 games for the West Coast Eagles, where he had a great career – being captain of their team, being a premiership captain, Norm Smith medallist, Brownlow medallist etc. At Carlton so far – he’s the captain … has been best and fairest three times (in a row), has a Brownlow medal … premiership cup here Juddy comes!

The Blues play the Hawks this week – they’ve got a Franklin-on-fire to contend with … but nothing that Jamison can’t deal with at fullback.

And here’s a pic I did in the finals series of 2011 … I imagine we’ll hear this phrase quite a bit come Brownlow Medal night. I was quite fond of this sketchy drawing … it was nice and raw.
