Where I live underwear is optional and rarely used

That'd be the Bourke Street Mall? Or perhaps a home game over the past 7 years?

Sounds more like Rundle Mall... the following footage comes from a CC Camera located on the awning of a building on the corner of Francis Street...

Did a guy with a tattoo bonk your misses/ take your job/ beat the shizen out of you? I'm genuinely interested to know why someone would hold such bigoted and generalised views on something that has literally no effect on them whatsoever.

I'm with old dee about tattoos and I understand what he is trying to say or this is my version:

The people who embrace tattoos as part of their lifestyles is fine but most understand that it may effect the future with things like employment but they are happy with that as it's their lifestyle so to speak.

What amazes me and probably old dee is the young people who are tattooing themselves due to 'the fashion style' and not thinking about the future. They think there is anti discriminations laws so it can't effect them but it will and other excuses used. This is what I find moronic as the lack of forward thought astounds.

It's everyone's right to get a tattoo but I wonder how many have thought about the consequences as with all fashion the sleeve tattoo will go out of style...

Would you laugh at a person dressing like the 80s now??

I'm sorry I've had a boozy afternoon. Is there any chance we could talk some footy in a footy thread? I'm heading to tomorrow's session. Thought I'd take some photos and share whatever I get. Thanks to RB for keeping us in the loop this week. Shame he had to start a separate thread.

I Agee with most of that wolfmother, best we leave it there as I have this faint feeling they want us off here and talk about football of all things.

Strange!

Suggest you go and checkout the salad bar at the local Sizzlers.

Sizzlers!! Yes, I remember buying "All-you-can-eat" salad bar, and filling up on potato skins and soft serve (chocolate and vanilla!) Probably cost them less than two bucks.

Back to footy, um, mfc was on Nine News tonight, with a disparaging headline and footage of them falling off surf skis.

Can't wait for the boys to win back respect by winning more games than expected this year.

Oh they had a day off frolicking in the surf that is great but gee the 9 News is also reporting big sharks marauding in close to shore right up the east coast. You know our luck! I would get them the hell out of there if it was me in charge.

Burgo's Diary Day 5

These are my "highlights":

Ive certainly heard Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, which in my humble opinion is one of the better tunes on commercial radio at the moment. But its on the way to copping a true radio flogging if it hasnt already!

Uptown Funk has been on so much that Christian Petracca predicted it to come on the radio when we were on our way to dinner the previous night. Still, if the boys like Uptown Funk, which has some surprise, surprise funkiness to it, then surely they could be introduced to some 70s tunes like Chics Le Freak, Wars Low Rider or Marvin Gayes Got to give it up? Surely, theyd like them? You never know

As you know, Earl Hood, I am reluctant to criticise one of your social station. But your posts suggest you need to become more of a risk taker. Perhaps that may give you the chance of obtaining those higher honours you lust after.

Thank you for the advice BBO. By the way tell me you are back on Australian soil and safe and sound in Romsey? These are troubled times we live in. But as I reported earlier there was an altercation involving my good self at Government House before Christmas that involvied a misunderstanding in the guestnlist and then an obnoxious ACA reporter chasing me down the street outside Government House as though I was some dodgey tradesman! There is now some doubt about the communications announcing my elevation to Earl by Sir Peter Cosgwell, President of Australia! There is a chance that I have been had but I doubt it!

It was a hot day. Players impressed. Good spirit and looking physically ready for 2015.

Club needs to do more for supporters. No BBQ and no water. We arrived at 11am when bbq scheduled to start and was told it was packed up !!!!

Players were great with the kids. Lots of photos and autographs.

Burgos Diary Day 6

This diary entry is without non-relatable content, i hope Burgo didn't ready my smart-ass Demonland posts. ;)

Anyway, this is my actual highlight. I hope Trenners can make it back, i still believe the kid has what it takes to become a solid AFL footballer:

8am

Jack Trengove hasnt done anything wrong. Hes been working diligently and tirelessly in his rehab. But when I arrive at training and chat to sports science coordinator and rehabilitation coach Alex Sakadjian I learn that Trengoves morning has started as if he was punished.

Sakadjian tells me that he and strength and conditioning manager Rob Jackson woke Trengove up for a 3.30am training session. It wasnt because Trengove had been late or done anything wrong. It was simply to get the players out of their comfort zone and Trengove was not being left out, even though hes overcoming a serious navicular bone injury.

Not only do the fitness gurus love getting up at this time, I find out that Trengove loved the challenge of getting get up in his quest to return to the highest level. Its an admirable quality.

Sakadjian told me that he had flagged with Trengove to expect a call during the night. After they had called Trengove, they picked him up from his apartment and took him straight to the gym.

At 4am, Trengove did a spin bike session and then an hour of weights. Then his session finished off with another 20 minutes on the bike.

Once finished, Trengove completes a recovery session, before having an early breakfast.

Incredibly, when the main training is on, Trengove keeps at it, boxing for about 30 minutes.

Trengove then heads to the gym and does a swim. In all, he does four sessions for the day: bike, weights, boxing and swimming. Remember this is a guy who is still in a moon boot, due to a foot injury. Im tired just thinking about it!

For the players and coaches, its somewhat water off a ducks back, but for your average Joe, its remarkable to comprehend.

Still, the commitment from Jackson and Sakadjian cant be questioned either. Theyre determined to do everything they can to help the players reach their goals.

Sakadjian says Trengove could be woken again during the night before the camps end. Wow!

The theory behind the early session for Trengove is that the rest of the group is working hard on the track and they want to keep the same approach for the players in rehab.

Sakadjian said Trengove loves any challenge. But he said the trio all gained something from it. When I see Trengove at the main session, he gives a smile and says it was a good session. Hes a quality young man and I really hope he bounces back after such a terrible tough run with injury in 2014-15.

Sounds like a sordid affair - still class always comes through.

best Fillm about booze is "Withnail & I" 1987

Richard E Grant's film debut & still his greatest

Barfly ,Mickey RourKe is still a good flick.

Leaving Las Vegas could be Nick Cages best

but I do love Withnail.

    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
