In this second edition, one-day player (and sometime captain) Cam “Mudda” McCormick pulls up a chair and a bottle of Jim Beam Green for a chat with Punts:

Punts: Mudda.

Cam: Hi Punter.

P: Notice you just came off a triumphant stint as stand-in captain. No problems stepping in mate?

C: None at all. Superior leadership helps produce positive results.

P: In getting the gig, it wouldn’t hurt being related to the captain either I’m sure.

C: Best candidate regardless.

P: Fair enough. Start with an easy one – what’s your middle name?

C: Mark Anthony.

P: Fair dinkum. Be the only time you’re a centurion!

C: Huh?

P: “Friends, Romans, countryman, lend me your ears.”

C: ….

P: You love your footy and your Tigers – favourite sporting moment?

C: The recruitment of Nathan Brown to Richmond.

P: Shows how much you guys have had to celebrate lately. What’s your idea of the perfect first date?

C: Someone actually saying yes in the first place!

P: Always a good start! Well, given that they’ve said yes, where’s the strangest place you’ve thrown one over?

C: A Tram.

P: Do tell!

C: I was coming home after NYE Celebrations on the 86 back to Thornbury. I struck up a bit of a conversation with some girls - the Langwarrin sort – and ended up having a bit of fun on the back step with one. I was very drunk but still managed to perform for the crowd of onlookers.

P: I know you can’t stand in the doorways, but never seen a sign saying that horizontal folk-dancing is outlawed. Nice work! You surely would have heard from her again…

C: doubtful!

P: Now I know you love a drink. What’s your best effort that sticks in the mind?

C: There are so many, where does one start. Maybe Anzac Day this year in Sydney. Started at 7am with beers at the RSL and a chin-wag with a few of the old Diggers, and finished up at Midday the next day when I was tossed out of the casino, as I’d fallen asleep playing blackjack. As for how many I drank, that’s a toughie as was on schooners from the get-go. 4 vomits though, so a fair bit!

P: I love crazy benders. You must have been a mess in the casino. I too was ejected one morning from the casino for falling asleep, however I did it in an open toilet cubicle wearing one shoe, no pants, and snoopy boxer shorts.

C: Do go on…

P: Another time maybe. I think Kev’s keen to do a “10 With Punts … With Punts!” so I might save it for that. What’s your most memorable on-field moment?

C: Apart from losing the last 5 premierships (4 one-day, 1 two-day) I once caught the ball between my neck and my ear. That’s pretty special! Also 2 years ago in the Grand Final I was fielding in front of the Wheelers Hill crowd and was having rocks and fruit throwin’ at me!

P: Those b..tards. This question has been getting me in a bit of trouble given people’s responses, but here we go anyway – strangest thing you’ve eaten?

C: Rat in Bali

P: Phew. Not nice, but clean. Who would play you in a movie about your life, and why? What would be the title of the movie?

C: Ben Affleck, mainly so I could get close to Jennifer Garner, and the movie would be called ‘Mudda’.

P: Perhaps “Mudda-Tram”.

C: Could work.

P: Carmen Electra, Nicole Kidman, Nicky Webster, Pauline Hansen – who and why?

C: Nicky Webster, she’s the only one that can sing.

P: What?? You silly boy. Better wrap this thing up … any final comments you’d like to add, or something perhaps you can share with us that we mightn’t know about you (e.g. Charity work, cross-dresser, etc.)?

C: I’m joining a monastery when the one-day team wins a flag.

P: Going to wear a toga and roman sandals on your sabbatical??!

C: You idiot.

P: Mark Antony, thank you.
