And bb...... further to the above...... I believe  @Redleg  has been overindulging in the delights of Redtube.

Can you actually “overindulge “?

We need to take the AFL to task for fixturing us in WA and 6 days later in Adelaide and then 5 days after Anzac day playing again all within first 7 rounds. Pretty rough. I didn’t mention Geelong again, like every other year, either.

Go back and read BBO’s earlier posts and you will work it out very easily. The responses give it away.

Luci. I know right? How nasty of the Bitter one to call Luci a nut-job. 😠

Awww, I’ve still got your back and always will. 🥰

Anyways, what’s wrong with being a nut-job? Or is it the combination of nut-job and redhead? Asking for a redheaded nut-job of a friend.

Fremantle also travelled to Adelaide twice 2 weeks (also off a 6 day break). We should not be using this an excuse for losing to Essendon.

Just for the record, Fremantle spent the week in Adelaide but I agree travel isn't an excuse.  The club chose to catch the red eye back from Perth, apparently at the players' request.  Maybe next time they rethink that.

Goody’s comments suggest they will rethink it, if it happens again.

I'm surprised the sports science staff thought it was a good idea to catch the red eye knowing there was a flight/game to Adelaide a few days later.  Sometimes they and coaches should do what is best for the club rather than the players. 

While acknowledging players want to get home to families etc I doubt half a day makes a lot of difference in most cases.

Its the Footy season... All decisions and focus ought to be about the game/team.

Melb Perth Melb Ade Melb !!

Not a lot of genius happening there.

Should  not even be a consideration.

We're not there yet when we can't think like a 100% professional outfit.

At first I thought getting back here was the only way to go but Binman made a good case for this idea on the pod last night. It's the 1%ers

Common sense I would have thought.

At the risk of a pile on I don't listen to the game related podcasts.

With 6 days it probably was. 

Nothing wrong with that, we choose what we like for our personal enjoyment.

Life is full of entrees so don't fill up on bread! 🙂

 5 days of footy starting Friday night.

Exactly, it's the 1%ers.  This is something that led to our success in 2021 - I'm listening to a podcast interview with Clayton Oliver back in Dec 2021 right now while working.  Clarry said "I didn't change much, my three big rocks after discussing with Goodwin was to train well, sleep well and eat well.  That's all I've focused on this year"

So the would-be thief would have to pop into Cashies (Cash Converters) to buy a cordless angle grinder that he probs stole the previous day and sold to Cashies. Doesn’t make sense, Daise. 

btw wcw, when was the last time you saw a st albans nuffie make sense?

just asking for a friend

Tell your friend it happens all the time, Daise. Just recently I was walking into Snorbz Woolies at the same time an undesirable was leaving. Right there on the threshold he says, “wanna buy Gillette razor blades?” I said, “No thanks, but dude, what are you doing? At least walk out of the shop and around the corner or something.” He said, “nah, this way I hit up people who haven’t spent their money yet.” Makes a heap of sense to me.

LOL I said to the Woolies girl at the self-serve, “Wow. Did you just see that?” She said, “That’s nothing. He asked ME if I was interested in buying it. 😳

Let me check my notes..

reminds me of a story from years ago

a friend of my son was working casual at myers during xmas break.  he observed this guy come in and pocket a relatively small but expensive item. he then proceded to the closest checkout counter and tried to return it for a refund. (myers had a very liberal return policy in those days)
