Was always going to travel up unless his wife was in active labor. So unless Jon knows the schedule of Tom’s wife’s uterus, I think we will need to wait until tomorrow lunchtime.

Just checked the Sydney metro forecast for tomorrow. Max 19 degrees, partly cloudy, light winds. Chance of rain 10%. I'll take that any day.

Thanks Jaded, now I'm picturing Jon Ralph giving us live tweets of the time of ruptured membranes and dilation progress.

Melksham at his best is walk up start. Unfortunately, I just don't think he can get back to that any more. He's still valuable to play multiple roles throughout the game to keep the team balanced. His kicking is still an absolute weapon and I think the discipline and effort issues are behind him. He just doesn't seem able to cover the ground any more - when he chases, he looks to be running up and down on the spot.

Agree.

The football Melksham played in 2018 would make us even better than we currently are in 2021. His 45-degree angle field passes from half-back through to half-forward can rip sides open.

But he's not getting enough of the ball to make that side of his game stand out, and his defensive efforts just haven't been good enough.

I'm happy Sparrow held his spot.

Happy to see Langdon back. 

Just saw on ch 7 sport that both teams were on the same flight together and the captain of the plane played the pies theme song obviously for bucks. Seriously I hope our boys covered there ears.

If it's John Ralph he'll probably tell us how many centimeters apart the contractions are, and probably monitor the wrong woman.

At least it would be better than Robbo... that scene doesn't bear thinking about.

2018 Melksham and Hogan are the only 2 players from that year I'd take over our current list I reckon.

And BT would in all seriousness ask - “is that where babies come from?”

Assuming of course that Victorian authorities allow VFL matches next weekend.

And we’re the umpires on the same flight?

If so sitting with whom?

And were they singing along with Dolly Grey?

I think that’s fair given that it’s the only time they’ll hear it this weekend… I hope for their sakes that they sung along with it.
