I spent a bit of time in Yokosuka about 15 years ago, my favourite dish was Okonomiyakie (hopefully correct spelling). I hope to get back there one day and do some travelling. From there I went to Vladivostok where I almost got kidnapped, didn’t mind the food though.

Close... okonomiyaki (no ‘e’), so we’ll pay that ?.  I went a couple of times to a really old Okonomiyaki restaurant in the Tokyo district of Asakusa, called Sometaro. It was still in its original building and operated by the same family, and was over 100 years old. Soooo good!  Were you connected with the armed forces in some way (Yokosuka was and maybe still is, the home of a US base).

    Giving (Melksham) away the free kick was stupid enough.

    I did not realise that was a free kick at the time. Assumed it was on tbe full.

    What was it for?

    Simple explanation really:

    AFL rule 102.3.b.  “A crucial free kick against Melbourne does not require any justification  at all” and 102.3.c “Missing an obvious and especially a crucial free kick to Melbourne does not require any justification  at all”

    I don't normally overtly bleat about umpiring, but I watched the first quarter yesterday - granted I was looking only for Melbourne free kicks paid or not paid, jeez I felt there were a lot of holding the balls not paid, a lot of tackles around the neck slipping down not paid, and even some marks not paid.

    Is it my bias...seriously, or are the rules not rules, just interpretations these days?

    Clearly the Chinese hate us, they are the Nazis of the 21st century. The proof is being stuck up our noses on numerous occasions over the last six months. Nothing to do with racism. I have an Asian son in law and two half Asian grand children who I love dearly so don’t pull that BS on me. 

    Then I guess we should stop giving them our coal iron ore and food for hundreds of billion dollars underwriting our superior lifestyle

    Well they've just suspended imports of barley from our largest grain exporter citing 'quarantine' pests. The saga continues.

    Since 1945 guess which country  has been at war most often? Guess who has military bases all over the world? I know, they were in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq and Panama and Granada and Libya and Syria and Cambodia etc etc etc  'protecting our freedoms'.

    I love the food in China! So many choices and different styles of cuisine that we never get to see here. 

    Don’t ask. Just eat whatever it is

    It would help if the commentators didn't turn dwn the umpires' volume so they could make their asinine name dropping etc.

    Close. Drop the E. I too love the dish. Best time I've had it was a random restaurant in Tokyo where we didn't speak any Japanese and they didn't speak any English but we just pointed and nodded. I've now been back to Japan almost a dozen times including living on the north island for a few snow seasons, and bullet-training our way across Honshu for our Honeymoon. Would easily move there if I could.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
