Alice Springs weather update: rain until around 12 noon on Sunday, max temp 9 deg FFS! Forecast for Melbourne is max 14 deg. WTF is going on? My Alice Springs friend says there has not been weather like this in the Alice at this time of year in 35 years!

Club stated the AFL deal is a different event. And noted that the drink package included wines from our sponser Penfolds ( a couple of granges might ease the tension) anyhow get bitten once and you learn

Unlikely...if not there's always Uncle's stash! 

That's assuming they don't crack in the boot of the Bentleigh on the road trip up.

If it were a Bentley I'm sure the shiraz would be well packed.  Can't risk a good shiraz!!

Benefit of doubt to DD:  'Bentleigh' is an auctocorrect problem...

Has been ruled out already.

Might be back next week. Might not be.

The Uncle Bitter convoy has arrived in the fair Hamlet of Burra on route to Alice.

The locals are very excited of course.

I'm currently enjoying a libation at "The Burra" and , I must say the dining facilities are very pleasant (albeit rustic)!

Tx Jaded. We've had some big names out on a consistent basis this year from round one. Hopefully the run of bad luck stops soon.

Most teams have had key players out during the season. We've managed our players OK.

NO bigee.

So cold up here it’s ridiculous and the forecast only gets worse…

 

Open clinic then training session Saturday for those that are here:

For those that want a special experience, head out to Santa Teresa (about an hour drive on road that goes past airport, 50km of dirt but can easily do in a 2wd for a 2.30 pm start at the grass oval there.

Hoping the overall experience provides some nice NoT$NoB$ vignettes (if not vins), Uncle - or any other B$Ters on the trek.

Not braggin’ - just sayin’- I’m about as far from the Alice as you can get- Gallipoli in southern 🇮🇹.

31 degrees here today, dropping to a low of 25 tonight. Your typical Alice weather I would have thought.

So I’ll be tuned in Sunday at 0720h listening and reading!

And ffs if ANB fumbles and it costs us a goal I’ll spew up!

Any perversions to report to NoT$NoB$, UB? Your favourite tipple hard to come by up there? Or, if not, at least compromised by coming from the *shudder* fridge?

OK, so now I’m in Taranto and will follow the game from here. That has to be an omen. Some bloke from the Toigs has that name and he’s goin’ arright.

Just by way of curiosity....anyone have knowledge of how this field plays after so much rain ? 

You might presume it drains quickly ....does it ?

With the amount of booze Uncle's hauling up there (rumours of a road train in tow) i wouldn't count on it Bubs

Is Spargo named sub for this game?

If he is, don't think he's a great choice as his body type and skillet is limited to a certain role. Also even in his usual role his form hasn't been great so there's that too.

Man driving all that way is a great support effort. I hope we win just for that drive alone.

They had an excellent local shiraz at "The Burra" .

Overindulgence in which accounted for my late arrival in Coober Pedy.

Surely it has to be Melky, you want an impact player not a defensive limited skillet ( My new word of the week.... Skillet)
