MATT CRAM: Err, look, this is a bit awkward, but there’s something we need to talk about.
BRENT GODDE: Gosh, this sounds serious.
MC: Well, it is serious. I was browsing Facebook yesterday and I came across the status “Brent Godde thinks M. Cram is a jerk, a joke and a jockey wannabe”.
BG: Yeah, sorry about that, it was a typo — it should have read “journalist, joker and slightly taller than a jockey”.
MC: That’s a terrible lie.
BG: Yes it is. I guess that’s two of us this week who have learnt that nothing is private on the internet.
MC: So do you think Steven Cigana’s expletive-laden outburst towards the Albury-Wodonga Football Association on Facebook deserves a hefty penalty?
BG: The possibility of a three-year suspension seems harsh, but I’m a fan of the phrase “execute one to educate 1000”. Kids and young adults and everybody else have to learn that the internet is a public space.
MC: And if you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face, don’t type it.
BG: Similar to the cheap shots that continue to get fired on Bigfooty each week.
MC: Or the cheap shots we take at each other every week. But on Bigfooty, apparently a hot topic is the Doug Strang medal. Who’s your money on to claim the gong, Tony “Plugger” Pierri or Matty Fowler?
BG: Hopefully Plugger, it would be one of the feel-good stories of the season. He has developed a bit of a cult following down at Birallee Park. You?
MC: Well it could be decided this week when Albury and Wodonga Raiders play each other. Who would you rather play on, Lloyd Shepherd or Nathan Matsinos?
BG: If I had the bulk of Matty or Tony I’d prefer Lloyd, but only because he’s probably the lighter of the two.
MC: You do have their bulk — you just have an amber ale-induced bulk.
BG: Well if you want to be like that, how do you explain the Facebook photos of you at a Justin Bieber concert?
MC: My, err, sister had, err, a spare ticket and so I ...
BG: Now you are the liar.
