In apropos to the contents of BTs head

My local coffee shop has put up a notice 'To keep prices low there will be a surcharge of 1.6% on efts'.

Ah yes, very well written..

    The AFL injury report states he had a corked upper leg. 

    Well that is consistent with what I saw, rather than buttocks.

    He still may not get up given short week for them.

    Expect all restaurants and cafes to  increase prices pretty dramatically,  to cover rising food and running costs. Fact of life these days.

    Trying hard to not put too fine a point on this but perhaps it’s a corked lower buttocks? I mean, in terms of applying an ice pack, where does the buttocks end and the upper leg begin? And does it matter? Ie, is there a difference regarding recovery of such? Serious question as I’ve never had a corked anything. 
    Regardless, I hope he fails the fitness test today.

    On a lighter note: it seems tomatoes are the new bananas…

    Curse you, BBO! You’ve put the mozz on me…

    I bought one this morning ($1.90, for just one!), just cut into it and it’s all green and gross on the inside. I should’ve gone the soggy newspaper route. 😡

    He didn't seem very confident on 360 the other night, about being ok to play.

    Wash your mouth out.

    I just had a banana smoothie from Green Cup shop, which opened today around the corner from my place.

    It is still the drink of choice for the discerning person.

    Bit of interest on other threads about JVR possibly debuting tomorrow.

    Don't see it happening unless BBB is not fit.

    Had a few of them. It really depends on the severity of the corky, they get graded into three categories. Using a leg as the example:
    1. Mild – Not much swelling, nearly full range of motion
    2. Medium – Possible swelling, difficulty walking
    3. Severe – Bad swelling and internal bleeding, high difficulty walking, may need crutches. 

    The first week is usually the toughest. The location of this one doesn’t sound great so hopefully there was something to it and he can’t get that leap!

    Will Ashcroft, likely number 1 pick, has selected the Lions, under the father son rule, in the same week as Sam Darcy, another father son top 3 pick, makes his debut for the Dogs and a week after Jamarra Ugle Hagen, a NGA number 1 pick, kicked 5 goals in a game.

    JUH was taken the year before the AFL changed the goal posts, stopping the Dees taking Mac Andrew as a NGA player and then again the following year, once again changing the goal posts, which might stop us getting another NGA player Finn Emile-Brennan.

    Yep some teams get a lot of luck.

    Hopefully BBB gets back to his best and we then go with Weid getting the 3rd best backman. Atm its looking like Melk/Weid for that spot.

    Well the jury is back in after last night. Another KPF who was only as good as Brown and we win that game  last night. Melsham was never a KPF and never will be. Play Smith even if he has only one game at Casey this time around. time to give JVR a chance. 

    Also time to replace a few who have been poor for weeks.

    ANB, Spargo and Sparrow have been poor for weeks out this week IMO. 
    if we keep doing the same as the last six weeks we will get the same result.

    Kick some of the easy missed chances and we win easily.

    New tactics this week, bomb long into the left forward picket( to an out numbered sole tall key forward with all small forwards to stand 20-30 metres away and at all costs, ignore any leading forward, or one who has made space.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
