Geez Hardtack ,I never picked you for an old fella.

I've been to Nam twice as a tourist and I would never have survived the mozzies .

My wife is from Tay Ninh and her dad was "re-educated" for 3 years when the South lost .

Lovely people but the ice in the beer is really a post war crime.

Is that because the ice sucks or because it's a crime to put any ice in beer whatsoever.

The ice should be placed AROUND the beer to cool it before the bottle is opened.

I have tried to explain this to the people of Vietnam but they will not accept my imperialist attitude.

Either that or they cannot wait required half hour for the bottles to cool down.

The ice itself is fine,the beer tolerable. Helps wash down the bbq rats marinated in chilli and lemongrass.

XIN Ciao!

I was called up in 1972...on my birthday no less! I was deferred because I was studying at Swinburne and then Gough got voted in later that year and National Service got voted out; can't say I was disappointed.

Same with me.

Interesting I spend Saturday watching Uni Blacks in Amos .

They won again on top and 1 game clear.

Had fun with a couple of mates.

Makes me realise you can go to the footy and have a good time.

Finals football coming I think this is my spot for the next few weeks.

Heard the expected score from the dome of death and my reaction was oh hum what is new.

Spent yesterday baby sitting my GD.

So all in all a good weekend.

I doubt I will go on the weekend even if it is GCS

I have got to the point of who cares anymore with the Dees.

Jetta suspended 1 week and Nicholson a broken jaw. That is 17 players out. Unbelievable.

We could seriously be struggling to field a side by the last round.

I am beginning to seriously doubt our ability to win against the GWS.

We will also destroy Casey's finals again due to injured players.

And still another drama for us in 2012.

A repeated one at that too.

It's amazing how Carlton does this far more blatantly and the experience is used as a sort off hand 'joshing around' conversation piece in the media and when we do it is as if we are the third rising of the fallen angel Beezlebub.

Fitting I suppose...

God I hope you are right

Imagine losing to the GCS

Too horrible to contemplate

What would we be accused of then?

Oh well, I get to see those orange jumpers this week, that should be my footy highlight.

Oh, I forgot, Gary Ablett.

Redleg another one injured Martin this time.

Another foot injury

That makes it 14 from my count Plus one suspended for a total of 15 players unavailable this week.

Will this ever end

Yes in 5 more weeks.

I hate to admit this but I am listening to a 70's disco mix while I read Demonland.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
