Sorry slowly is best I can imagine

Well after a terrific Saturday Sunday turned to mud.

I was barracking for the Pies yesterday and they got done by Adelaide singly the worst mob in the AFL by the length of the Flemington straight.

Oh well there is always next weekend.

They are a funny side the Crows. They have a lot of dumpy looking Collingwood 6 footers but get the job done.

Funny and Adelaide are not words I would normally put in the same sentence Redleg.

Dislike, Hate, rabble, agony, are a few that come to mind but funny no.

I am not a great fan of Adelaide, but something in me finds it hard to be upset when the Pies get done and may miss out on the finals as a result ... :blink:

No thank you

I'm with R & B on this OD. Pain for the filth is always enjoyable.

Not saying you are wrong Bbo but in this case I think it is the lesser of the two evils.

As I posted months ago after speaking to PJ, Roos has agreed to a third year as Coach.

The building blocks of our revival are being put in place.

On a side note to the Essendon drug fiasco, I heard that seven wheelchair athletes have been banned from the Commonwealth Games paralympics after they tested positive for WD40.

I heard that another 20 of them were banned because they rocked up to training legless.

Like yourself jazza, i am transmogrifying into a new and even better me.

Had my first gym session (properly called a workout I believe) today. My Personal Trainer escorted me to a treadmill to “warm up”, as she put it. That was quite painful as the side rails rubbed rather nastily on my manly mid section.

I was gasping and bawling after about 30 seconds so she decided I was warmed up enough. She also attempted to get me on a bike but that caused some very embarrassing personal issues.

Now it was time to “pump iron”. I was led to a machine called the “Pec Deck” – apparently used to develop one’s pectorals. Well my pectorals hang to my waist so I didn’t think further development was required. However, I allowed myself to be guided by the professional (as I have on many previous occasions)

An excruciating experience but I did my 5 “reps” (that’s gym talk) and called it a day.

I understand protein intake is advised after a workout so I purchased (and consumed) 2 meat pies on the way back to the manor.

I’ll have a day’s rest and be back into it on Thursday.

However, I feel I have made advances already.

Doesn't matter if both the Crows and the Pies make the finals - neither would get past week 2 at best.

If the Crows go O K we can always say the Demons beat them over there anyway.

No BB. At this point myself, my Doctor and the PT are still negotiating this concept of "diet". When the notion of cutting back red wine intake was mentioned I became quite agitated and we haven't really progressed.

What can I add?

Going to the gym won't help you BBO- you need Pilates and hydrotherapy.

But I am sure you are only in there for visual stimulation as well as your feeble attempts at efficacy.

Very negative and unsupportive of you Biffen. I am sure that when I become a new man I'll be be a big hit at the Gat and you'll be in my shadow.

BTW. As to "visual stimulation", I was receiving quite a few meaningful glances today!!

    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.
