[the_russian 17]

I am driving in from albury/wodonga, DT, via the hume and tulla freeways...

[Demon_Tingles 211]

But sheesh, thats a long way to come Rollo

Bugger that hurts will have to try and negotiate train lines never used them before

[rollinson 65 181]

"thats a long way to come"

I am working in melbourne the following day...

the bluebuggers have a bloke flying in from Canberra...

make no mistake, guys, they want the duke...

[Demon_Tingles 211]

No chance we will stand up and keep the duke no matter who they bring with them Dees to get an early win on the board.

[the_russian 17]

Bugger that hurts will have to try and negotiate train lines never used them before

DT, its just the one train, use this link, its the train details to get you to Richmond at 12:30, then its a 2 minute walk from the station

Apologies, im no good at linking

[the_russian 17]

Also, you can purchase a Sunday Saver ticket from a newsagent/7-11/wherever sells tickets, its much cheaper than buying a daily and gives you the same service for the Sunday

[Demon_Tingles 211]

updating the practical information for sunday for players and spectators...

Gosch’s paddock…

Melway map reference 2G E10...

TRAIN... to richmond station, walk south down punt road (city side). Walk past the collingwood training ground. If you come to boulton parade, you have gone too far...

CAR... free parking may be available at the punt road oval. If not, try the richmond side streets south and east of swan street, also a commercial car park in swan street...

WEATHER... extended forecast says showers clearing, 77% humidity, and 25 degrees...

people, it's melbourne, so bring umbrellas as well as spare jumpers and footy boots (ground is in good condition and could be slippery underfoot) !!

the talkingcarlton guys have the personnel to provide a real contest and a tough game...

we really should not have won last time, our team looks slightly better than our team last time on paper, but they have some regulars back who we have not seen, especially KPPs in defence…

people, it's melbourne so bring water AND suncreen !!!

helpers... we have never had enough additional water, so don't slack off on your commitments...

players...we have as yet only two helpers committed to bringing extra water, so bring your own…

I have some additional guernseys, but bring additional jumpers if you have them for players without...

AFTER MATCH DRINKS... crickerters arms hotel, punt road...follow the crowd...

if anyone has last-minute info for the coaches (can't make it, can make it with extra players etc, I invite you to ring me on my mobile on the day 0408 698 328...

see you sunday, february 8 at 1pm (doggo, this means you !!) or thereabouts...

regards,

peter connor (aka rollo)

Good luck guys.

If they start swinging punches my advice is not to get involved.

err, thanks, mate...

but could you give us a bio-mechanical explanation ??

[Redleg 40,834]

Rollo I am sorry but I will have to pull out tomorrow. I have a committment that I need to attend to and yes it is of the four legged variety with a business meeting thrown in.

Can I pass on my apology to all and wish the boys the best of luck in beating Talking Carlton.

Jack will be able to demonstrate his fine coaching ability unfettered and could have his nephew as an assistant.

Good luck Dees look forward to another fine rendition of the club song on the Net.

A poor excuse and it's lucky there's a quality coach on hand to take control.

[ucanchoose 1,816]

I'm going to have to pull out too boys. I had a vasectomy on Friday that wasn't a complete success - in fact it's going to turn into a nightmare I believe, so I can't make it.

[rollinson 65 181]

"Jack will be able to demonstrate his fine coaching ability unfettered..."

BLOODY HELL...

official permission granted to all to start panicing now...

[Whispering_Jack 29,779]

"Jack will be able to demonstrate his fine coaching ability unfettered..."

BLOODY HELL...

official permission granted to all to start panicing now...

When was the last time a team lost a coach because he had to do a deal over some geldings and a player to a vesectomy on the same day?

No need to panic unless I start the pre match speech with a high pitched voice.
