bbo, if i might suggest that if the squeeze was most unimpressed that next time you do a grand yarra valley wine grazing extravaganza that you take stuie along instead

that way you might be able resolve your apparent (and very public) mutual cyber stalking of each other over a glass or two

you could either glass each other or partake in some real stalking (so to speak)

High Noon in the Yarra Valley? Would have to have alpacas as seconds ... :)

 

Stuie would want to use those sneaky little Vicunas .

I think Stuie would ask for the non alcoholic grape juice.

Sorry boss. How's the detox going? Skin clearing up? Figure back?


Back at the Manor. It seems poor old Bitters remains unforgiven for his Yarra Valley excesses. The squeeze decided to cook curried chicken sausages. Seemed a bit strange but a message was being delivered.

Your correspondent had to sit in the Manor's Michelin level kitchen and watch this being prepared.

The symbolism was quite unsubtle.

The sausages were boiled.

The sausages were skinned with surgical precision.

The sausages were chopped ....

It's odd you know. The squeeze is more pizzed about the Yarra Valley fiasco than when I left her friends in Canberra after the Manuka Oval disaster.

Maybe the fact that I passed out during the luxury accom part of the deal had something to do with it.

As I said - I don't understand sheilas.

Yarra Valley weekend away, missus on the prowl, good food, good wine, romantic atmosphere..... and you get pizzed and pass out.

No wonder she's dissapointed. Surprised she's only butchering the curried sausages.

He's certainly in dangerous territory Earl. Hope the knife wasn't particulary sharp and he's up to date with his tetanus immunisations.

I feel sorry for that poor kangaroo. Was he more annoying than all the others? :-)

was he down by the billabong practising his diving?


Same billabong where the Selwood's duck under low branches??

no that would be lindsay thomas practising his ducking under the branches.

selwood was practising his knee squats with a jumbuck under each arm :lol:

I'll bet the effer couldn't do it with an Alpaca under each arm.

In fact think of the impact on Aussie History if Alpacas had turned up here

"Down came an Alpaca to drink at the billabong

up jumped ......."

That is a better claim to fame than I can come up with.

You do understand you've already featured in a Rod Stewart massive hit? Red(Hot)legs

Your poor old Uncle Bitter has just come in from completing some shovel work at the Manor. It's about 6c here atm. Let's just say if I was a brass monkey , I'd be looking for a soldering iron.

I'll bet KC is glad he's not at Casey today.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
