The Coffin Bay Emus were the pride of the LEP. Their captain, Toady Thompson, trained by sprinting up sand dunes while yelling at oysters for “mental toughness.” His brother, Gazza, claimed to be the team strategist but mostly just drew circles on a whiteboard and said, “Boys… vibes.” When the Emus faced their arch-rivals Tumby Bay Tuna, they shocked everyone by actually kicking straight. Toady booted the winning goal, then announced, “Write this down: Coffin Bay is officially a footballing powerhouse!” No one wrote it down, but the boys at the pub retold the story all night anyway, with the distance of goals increasing every retelling.
