    At my Doctor's insistence (she who wants me to give up the booze), I am about to head to the gymnasium (with a letter from said doctor) for an assessment and development of a "fitness" program.

    I shall keep you informed - if I survive.

    In any event it seems a good excuse to buy some new gear. I look rather fetching in latex - if I do say so myself.

    Anyway toodle pip!

    Started Saturday with MY GD for breakfast.

    Pa made chocolate pan cakes with banana and Maple syrup.

    If there is a better way to start Saturday I don't know of it.

    Speaking of lunch I just had a great banana cinnamon smoothie. Feeling rather full. Might have to get up from the couch and take a long walk around the lounge room.

    I have a gardener to nance around in my garden.

    Anyway ....

    Just woken up – had to have a kip after my “workout”.

    Well it wasn’t actually a workout – but interesting. Don’t understand how people enthuse about this gym business.

    I arrived at the “Leisure Centre” and met with Katie, my fitness consultant. She took me into a small office where I sat on a tiny chair and parked my guts on the table. Things apparently didn’t proceed according to the normal plan. Katie tried to take my blood pressure but the machine kept conking out and reading “error”.

    She gave up and started taking measurements. The problem, however, was that neither her arms, nor the tape would fit around my girth.

    The final straw was that I wound their scales off the meter. Katie then spoke to another fellow who made a smartarse comment about a weighbridge.

    Katie then said she’d consult with my doctor before going any further but offered to show me around the gymnasium before I left.

    In an odd way I immediately felt at home. Here were all these people in tight costumes with red faces, grunting and groaning. They were surrounded by or using a range of very odd machines and implements.

    Apart from the lighting, it was very much like the BDSM clubs that Biffen had arranged entre for me on occasion.

    I asked Katie where the whips and canes were kept but she didn’t answer and left without saying goodbye . I am guessing that information is reserved for members.

    All in all an interesting morning but if they expect me to start lifting those treadmill things , I wont be going back.

    I was supine on the sofa last night - more from exhaustion than alcohol and watched the Swans/Hawks game. It was a fantastic game of footy. However, and I know I've said this before, such games are depressing when you compare the depth of talent these sides have to ours.

    Both sides are stacked with players who can deliver the ball (by hand or foot) quickly and accurately while under extreme pressure.

    How many players do we have who can do this? A handful? Premiership sides have depth in this level of skill.

    Will I ever see a premiership?

    I suppose my pessimism about seeing a successful premiership charge is somewhat leavened by my minimal chance of longevity.

    I seriously doubt it in my lifetime Bbo and I suspect yours as well.

    The gap is a gulf to those two sides

    Yes it was a salutary reminder of what a top footy team is capable of.... and ... what a top list consists of in terms of personal. Hawthorn loses Buddy but still has three other players around the top of the goal kicking list. FMD !!!!

    It is the stuff wet dreams are made of.

    Purely and simply we have absolutely stuffed up our recruiting over the last several years. Last year under a new Coach and Recruiting Officer looks more promising and w have to hope that they get every pick and trade right from now on.

    It can turn around very quickly though as we have seen with our undermanned side improving dramatically defensively in just one year.

    Add Hogan and with improvement in Salem, Toumpas, JKH, Kent, Tyson, Riley etc and with a few more good picks and trades we can turn it around quickly.

    Just checked my emails since Friday and there was one from the MFC.

    It offered Corporate packages to the GF, talk about the excitement etc. of the big game.

    Bought a smile to my face.

    Wonder what that feels like.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
