break out the champagne, stuie's back bbo, he couldn't resist the logo thread

Now that's like putting a robber's jacket under the nose of a bloodhound dc. BBO will sniff him out for sure!


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.

Well my saturday improved on a great start.

Went to see Uni Backs today, they won their eleventh game from thirteen starts.

Sit on top of the ladder , this is what following a good side is like

Great !

Wonder if it will ever happen at the G?

Well a dream at the end of a great day is ok I guess

Suns were terrible yesterday, it can't just be Ablett missing.

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?

this is a trick question ...right??

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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
