Is it Mongke?

Mongke (Mo) Ganbataar
176cm, 89kg, small back, Ulaan Batoor shwaa/La Trobe University Reds
Mo, as his mates call him, has only been playing footy for two years since coming over from Mongolia to study Accounting and English in Bundoora. Since then his footy, as well as his English, have flourished: “When come here only play shwaa, that only thing to matter in Mongolia - must win, good try, be victory and drink kumis with the boys you know!” (Ed: Shwaa is a traditional Mongolian sport played on sand dunes involving kicking a horse bladder; kumis is an alcoholic, fermented yak milk traditionally awarded as a prize to victorious teams). Ganbataar has come from way back, and now is first named on the team sheet for the Reds, playing as a marauding back-man. Coach Michael Willies: “Yeah, well I reckon all that playing in the Gobi Dessert is basically dune training right, it’smeant Mo probably has the strongest quads and glutes of any bloke I’ve ever seen. Guys just bounce off him. Got a great hoof on him too - he reckons a Sherrin is way easier on the foot than a Horse’s bladder. Getting him of the kumis - well that’s been way more of a challenge. So we’ve adopted it as a bit of a post-game ritual. Bit hard to find, mind you, and you have to get over the smell of course and the way it sort of fizzes when it repeats on ya - but I reckon that’s been our secret weapon this year - along with Mo of course!”. Ganbatoor is available to Essendon via its ‘Silk Road’ pathway program.

I’ve made a sandwich, had a coffee, taken a shower, scratched my balls, done some work, stared out the window, come back here and STILL NO REPORT …
