    Anyone watching the second test from NZ on tv?

    Lunch time day 4, Aust five down with 100 to win. 

    You'd think curators would look after the ground surface, maybe sweep the pitch, keep people off the grass... But no, spectators permitted all over the oval during lunch, kids bowling and running on the pitch. Amazing really.

    I'll come back to the recent foregoing in due course, for my regular dose of amusement and befuddlement, but I must report something I've discovered while researching for a puzzle (not for here; breathe easy!), that might fit the entry criteria of this thread:

    Australia had never had a Prime Minister with a surname longer than 7 letters (7 of those, and 11 6s, 4 5s, and 5 4s). Until, that is, the last three in a row: TURNBULL, MORRISON, ALBANESE!

    Curse inflation!

    Could this prove to be a transition as decisive and irreversible as the 'facial hair -> no facial hair' prime ministerial eras?

    Nice one, Goffy (Goughy?) Erudite!

    Putting aside our clean faced (though gloriously topped!) opener, Edmund Barton, the latter, and still pertinent, era was kicked off by none other than our Stanley Melbourne Bruce.

    Aye, don't you be loosely mentioning the illiterate branch of the clan around here.

    My parents moved to Canberra in the 70s. My dad was a journo. Can you imagine how hard it was to book a taxi for 'Goff' to pick up from Parliament House late at night?

    Tough times, we thought we'd had enough, although we ploughed through the trough until the big fella was given his rough furlough.

    Ugh.

    There's gotta be some sort of prize for that para and 'full stop'! Its certainly a '10' (if I've counted correctly 😉) 👏

    Waddayareckon @Demonstone?

     

    I arrived as the big fella's nemesis was in turn realising primeministership wasn't meant to be easy, then saw out Bob's heady first couple of terms there.

    What's there to get? BBO is whoreganizing another orgy? Old news. Escargots straight from the field of the Manor would have been much more interesting...You can guess my age: the days of whine, women and song are way past. I'm deaf for a start and a victim of God's even-handed justice. In other words, Muslim men might get down on their knees to praise Allah for not making them a 'woman', but older men - alte kakkers like me - pray every day to maybe be able to pass 'water' straight into its bowl instead of its perimeter just once, for old times' sake...

    Found this hilarious.

    Tom Morris on the Furnace on Channel 9 said he wouldn’t do the Lions Las Vegas trip story as there is no proof it has affected their performance.

    Seriously, when we look back at his reporting.

    The Dees have been copping it in the media for 2.5 years, with no proof anything said has hurt our performances.

    It's because we are the biggest threat in the Afl to other teams.

    We are a force others are scared of.

    Would Eagles hanging on and beating Swans be the biggest upset of the year, including the rest of the season?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
