i had a down-sized banana for breakfast, red

thought it only right at my age to contribute something back to the economy

I had a delicious banana daiquiri at El Floridita Hotel today with Ernest. He wasn't there in body but he was in spirit. Plenty of bananas in Cuba and they do taste sweet. I can see a business opportunity here, bananas and guava paste, not sure what we can off load on them in exchange though, perhaps some of our marketing gurus to convince them of their need for some superfluous stuff they haven't got?

Good to see so many of you treating the banana with the respect it deserves.

[Redleg 41,427]

I have just started my annual fitness kick, to get my body in shape for the coming season. It hasn't worked for the last several years, but you can only try.

The diet will kick in too. I will have my banana smoothies made with skinny milk from now on. May have to give up on the banana splits and sundaes though.

The Provendor next door makes a delightful mango smoothie. As good as a meal. They do a berry milkshake and will see if they can come up with a Raspberry and Blueberry version.

Also very sorry to read of Jazza's passing. As a greater observer than contributor I always enjoyed his comments and observations.  Many of his references struck home with me reminding me of glories past chasing the elusive waves down Johanna way and my formative years at the back end of the cow. What a pity he has only seen the beginning of the resurgence. May his memory stimulate us all.

Go Dees

I have never got into Mango smoothies. Don't mind a mango juice, but not as a smoothie.

Absolutely, I can't think of a more open, transparent or values driven organization that leads by example. The role model sporting organization for the sporting world. Even WADA is now taking note and may even revise protocols to deal with other organizations like the AFL  Gil and his staffers have contributed in such a way that they will never be forgotten. However, their career path may have plateaued!  They may have future careers in the values driven world of sports media.

Gil might be looking for a job at FIFA.

If that fails it's Polo-the peoples game.

No need to go overboard, Redleg. Pre-season training can be brutal enough without extremes like this ...

If anyone has the slightest doubt that the AFL says one thing and do another just read the article in todays Hun.

The woman who was threatened  claims the AFl tried to down graded what she said.

At one stsge they said to her this could end his career.

Then after four hours presented her with a statement to sign that contained changed elements from what she had said.

She would not agree to the statement.

Then add the RFC making statements about they are worried about Dustin.

Deliver us from these hypocrites.

I never had the doubt OD

The afl is run by moral bankrupts whose currency is corruption and philosophy is hypocrisy.

It's a scandal in an of itself.
