Am from the area myself... W'bool, that is. How's the weather?

Cool at night, but a lovely day today, gets a bit windy on occassion. I am getting to know the area, we have a house near Tower Hill. I spend two days a week cutting the weeds they grow so quick.

 

Not too many Dee supporters but enough, the colours are being worn around town.

    Sure, Boland took 6 for 5. But then he got carted. Gave up 2 more runs while not taking any more wickets. However, he's a Vic, so I hope he keeps his place and can pull his weight in the next Test.

    Six for seven off four (21 deliveries). That means 15 dud deliveries. Definitely room for improvement. 
    P.S. you know your cricket side’s good when a bloke takes six for seven but isn’t guaranteed a spot in the next Test. 😁
    Not unlike when your footy team’s so good that a bloke who kicks six goals doesn’t end up with the Norm Smith.

    Boland bowled at test standard. Excellent line and a length that enabled him to gain maximum advantage from a pitch that was helpful but not unplayable.

    The English "batsmen" on the other hand, were simply deplorable. Apart from Root, they would be embarrassed at club level.

    How could one be good at anything with a name like Root...

    I would have thought that with a name like that he’d be more a lover than a fighter BBO.

    Perhaps so Neil but I can only image that first introductions may have been perilous.

    I'm assuming his paternal grandfather played guitar for T-Rex.

    Well perhaps horticulture and one other thing.

    So you're not from the area? Get over to Port Fairy. Take the walk around Griffiths Island around sunset and keep an eye out for the wallabies.

    I'm guessing the Koroit boys won the Hamden League again...?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
