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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
