Anyone got a spare ruckman at home they don't need?

I think the Smith Curse is still with us. 

Has any other club lost their most important player? Does any other club have the injury list we have? We lose a game we dominate with poor kicking while the other side can't miss. Similar the next week where we lose by a couple of points after leading with 2 minutes to go and gifting the last goal. Our players get the heaviest suspensions which cost one or both games lost. Ollie continues to dominate. Our so called stars are not starring. Injured players play against us and dominate. Gus injured again.

Etc. 

So nothing has changed?

It is all about the next ALF season.

I think we're going about this the wrong way trying to find a ruck replacement.

let's just take out everyone else's ruckman.

Well a good win after a messy first half. Time to treat myself to a banana smoothie.

That first half was a shocker - I wonder what caused such terrible disposal from both sides.

There was no first half. 

The AFL had an extended pre game show. Unfortunately there was no budget and press ganged the players instead in a very similar way the old 'footy show' of the sixties had a team a week doing a cabaret act that made Fitzroy St look like the Follies Bergere !!

There was only a 'shortened"  game thereafter....started after the Little league encore

I think the air con was on in the stadium and it created a slight breeze.

I was informed by some self important little functionary in the second quarter of the Saints v Dees, when I asked for the air conditioning to be turned on as I was just about to collapse with heat apoplexy in the second quarter, that there was no such thing at Etihad. She ushered me into the St John Ambulance area where it was a fraction cooler at least. I expected to be revived by a gin and tonic taken orally. All I was offered was water. Appalling !!!!!!! No wonder we don't like Etihad !!!!

It's a good distraction from the usual highbrow conversation.

Entirely correct - there was no first half.  The little league started an hour early,  but eventually someone realised that they had a mixture of the keystone cops and the benny hill show out there, pulled them off and got the youngsters on, which improved the skill levels by  about 4000%. After that there were two quarters of AFL footy, and then everyone went home.

I recently queried my internet provider about some incorrect charges. Here is an excerpt from their reply.

"Our sincere apologies these errors has not been brought to light earlier and amounts had already erroneous been extracted for the uncancelled ADSL services. We will ensure these cancelled for future reference."

Well that's good .... I think.

Who was the provider? We should consult them on the deliberate out of bounds rule. They could probanly clear up the confusion.

Loved the story on the Tigers selections this week, saying they were decimated, as Prestia is out with Nankervis, who was suspended for one week. 

Two players who weren't on the list last year out ( one for a week suspension ) and they are decimated. Wow!

I thought the first half was a Benny Hill skit.
