I reckon most Blitzers either aren't tall enough or would struggle to get a working with children permit.

A word of advice for anyone considering applying for the role. I once provided security for Flapper the Elephant at a charity event and one thing is for certain, do not, repeat do not go to ground otherwise children will attack you.

I would love Robbo to do it. I will be first out with the Mortein.


Not sure it's a 'one size fits all' costume......

Once saw the same thing happen to John Barnes at a birthday party many moons ago.

Fair amount of truth to that.

 

Seems to recall a similar experience being Captain Koala nearly 20 years ago.

 

Dad also did it and well copped it from a bunch oif ■■■■■■■■ teenagers who found themselves in a brawler van.

 

A masoct's job is dangerous.

I can hear a career change calling for AN10...

His ankle bracelet prevents him.

Ability to lift heavy objects (20+ kg) multiple times

DO YOU EVEN LIFT?

Speaking of mascots, I have a horrible/hilarious story about Kanga the Roo. A few seasons ago, I saw Kanga pick up a footy in the pocket pregame and attempt a snap at goal. Initially he looked to give the pass off, but when no Norf player asked for the footy he decided to go himself. He even lifted up his big fake head to get his bearings. Then, on his right foot he kicks it, but it comes off the in step, misses the netting that’s set up during the warmup and drills an old lady in the North cheer squad fair square in the head, knocking her ■■■ over. Kanga the Roo realises that he’s made a huge error, and he once again lifts his big fake head to see what he’s done. He realises that no-one saw him do it, so he pops his big fake head back down and proceeds to walk his merry way along the boundary hitting high 5’s with the little ones.

Kanga the Roo - 2nd best moment by a kangaroo ever (the number one moment, by a clear margin, was when Marty Monster got the sh!t kicked out of him by a big red)

P.S Did any other blitzers happen to see this Kanga the Roo moment? It would’ve been about 10 or so years ago.

Tears running down my face as I read this. The lifting the fake head thing and looking around is a worry. Think the job description says you have to be able to work with a small field of vision. Lifting the head would really put the wind up little kids

North used to have a cheer squad?*

 

 

 

*Ok, it was made up of one old lady, who was killed by their own mascot...

One thing they forgot to mention in the ad .... you need to be able to express the entire range of human (and/or mosquito) emotions using only a thumbs up or a nod or shake of the head. When my son first met Skeeta he said to him (it?)  "I love you Skeeta". And of course Skeeta's heartfelt response was .... two thumbs up!! I know many blokes who could learn a lot about interpersonal relationships from Skeeta.

It doesn't say anywhere that they need be an Essendon supporter, I'd feel unclean getting a photo with anyone else.

I can tell you guys from personal experience that the team you support will have only the smallest bearing on who they choose as their mascot.
