YVOBFC.com.au - Summer Series |
|
|
| 9 Nov |
|
|
In this edition of YVOBFC.com.au summer Series we look back at one of Geoff Torney's finest works from season 2002. This one was penned after a BOG performance from youngster Nick Pask
Nic Pask
After his stellar mid season performance, I felt it necessary to spend a minute with pasky. I met him outside his favourite haunt, the white dog in Lilydale, on a frosty sunday morning, after his startling BOG the previous day.
He arrived in his casual attire, not befitting such a blue collar footballer, I had pictured him arriving in a miners helmet and a bonds singlet, but this is the mystique that is the Pask.
After we gt past the door bitch, we sat down for a red eye and some bacon and eggs. When entering the white dog, Nic is treated like Norm from cheers, the 78 year old barmaid giving him a wink and a pat on the fanny.
Over a steaming red eye, a few scotch fillets, and some some burnt bacon, Nic relived many tales of his youth. Tales of him kicking around oversized ballon fish on melville island, or using his sisters barbie doll lifesize head as a football bought a twinkle to the mans eye. He moved from town to town as a kid, as his parents were the star performers in the Ashton circus, his mum the Strongest man, and his dad the bearded lady, did I get that right pasky?
This is reflected in the way the man plays his football, years spent hammering in stakes to hold up the big top are evident in the giant forearms pasky uses to fire off his handballs, and years spent trampolining have developed that marvellous leap.
Not one to bask in the limelight, Nic played down his role in te previous days heroics, not one to enjoy the bright lights of the city, and the hustle and bustle of the eastern suburbs, he detailed his desire when his career was over to move to Albany and become a fisherman. He even sung me a line of his favourite song
"I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling over sea, far away from dry land and all its misery". To which the old barmaid went weak at the knees and started to cry, Nic winked at her, letting her know that everything would be ok.
I informed him that there were serious rumblings at the club that he would challenge stevo for the B & F, to which Nic replied "I care not for personal glory, adventure, excitement, a Pask craves not these thiings".
With that Nic called the interview to a halt, this was all he is prepared to give, he wants to let his football do the talking. On his tapestry paddock which is domeney, no one works the land harder than pasky, and all his hard work will result in a flourishing harvest for yarra. In the background at the end of year celebrations pasky will be somewhere amongst the crowd, chewing on a hayseed and taking off his miners helmet, and having a well earned rest.
Out swaggered Nic, hopping into his datsun 180B and heading off down Maroondah highway to the lush fields of Healesville, where he was to spend the rest of the day lying naked in a field of corn.
Good on ya Nic
