    Now Uncle, is it ever likely or in the realms of possibility that you are able to post without a smutty comment or innuendo. Is your private life completely bereft of beauty and sweetness. 

    You do realise Geoffrey that your acting days have passed you by and everyone has tired of the same lines. Your early work was entertaining and amusing but it has become tedious and frankly embarrassingly. Perhaps it’s age or fatigue with living but you seem so half hearted these days. You don’t know whether to hang up your boots or keep trying to run around the park. 

    You do sound depressed these days, listless and just hanging on. Or are you now only aching in the places where you used to play? 

    Well Ernie …………… as they say in the classics.... " beauty is in the eye of the whip holder"

    Fortunately Uncle tastes differ so beauty is not in the eye of the whip holder.

    Otherwise it would be like standing in human faeces and thinking that it is beautiful.

    Enterococcus Faecalis and Bactericides Fragilis say hello, and respectfully beg to differ.

    It’s probably about perspective in the end.

    Lighten up Ernie!

    When it all comes down to it we are kindred spirits. Same boat -  being tossed around on the same meaningless sea of life.

    How very philosophical.

    From my perspective I attain meaning from the realisation that I am far superior to dreary old [censored] like you and Ernie.

    I wouldn't like to marooned on a desert island with any of you. Maybe Ernie, at least he could write...

    To diverge.

    On a research trip to WA 

    Beer wine food and tourist infrastructure not Dockers Eagles or Hogans, have just experienced the Albany whaling station. Only recently abandoned and restored as tourist attraction.

    The harpoonist is the Skipper and was able to despatch the whale with an accurate delivery under what must have been quite arduous conditions.

    Just made me reflect on the same philosophical metaphor.

     

    Difficult to reflect on football draw related issues as the WA media cannot report on any issues outside the overwhelming significance of the Dockers and Eagles.

    Fascinating

    Up here in the home of the Gold Coast Suns for a short break. Haven’t seen a single siting of any GC Suns colours, either in the shops, or on any of the holidaymakers. That is a little unusual .

    Not at all. Have you seen the state of BBO’s manor or tasted his wife’s cooking?

    Just at the moment the GC17 don’t have any players or supporters so that’s not surprising.

    I usually go every year to Day 3 of the Boxing Day test with a large bunch of former suburban cricket team mates, and relive our glory days in the Percy Beames bar.

    We are thinking of bringing our day forward to day 2 this year  ?

    I’m hoping the MCC will have a stern word to the test XI first before dealing with the common public  

    What should the team be called this year?  The Incompatibles perhaps?

    Can’t believe I have scheduled Foxtel to install a satellite on draft day, at the very time that the draft is on. Looks like it is DL on the computer, for me at draft time.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
