Magoo <- where did this name come from?

I'll defer to the old timers here, but I was always under the impression that "magoos" was slang for the reserves. As in, the senior side were the "ones", the reserves the "twos" and that "magoos" was just something that evolved out of that over the years.

You often hear older supporters of the Victorian teams say 'so and so apparently had a good game in the magoos'. It's used in that context.

I suppose with our choice in mascot, the term 'magoos' referring to our reserves/VFL is a unique situation where slang also melds with our symbol...

I should add, "Lulie Street Lager" has a nice ring to it...

I'm not saying if I'm an old timer or not but its a rhyming slang term 'Twos' rhymes with 'Magoos' and that is related to the fumbling cartoon character Mr Magoo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8GTHXTEvIc

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.

I should add, gentlemen, that I mean "old timer" only in the most affectionate way...

The Under 19's were the thirds.

Rhyming slang for "The Twos"?
