I'll step around the "old timer" tag too, but yes Magoos is just rhyming slang for the 2's AKA the reserves team.

In country footy when I grew up, the senior first team was the ones, senior reserves team was the 2's, U17's was the 3rds and U14's the 4ths.

I dunno how relevant Mr Magoo is.


calling you an old timer would be quite complimentary.

and yes, magoos = twos.

Hooyah,

You may also hear folks referring to the Reserves side as the Scoobs. Same, thing as Magoos....rhyming slang for 2s.

Good Grief I feel old. Had to explain a Hogans Heroes reference at work the other day as well...
