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.
Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle.

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...
