As Iā€™ve tried to explain to CrankyPants (above) I couldnā€™t fully understand some of what the boys were saying. One can only say ā€œPardon, what was that?ā€ so many times before it gets annoying.

Ā I actually googled Hermanā€™s Bay while with them and something about the NT popped up. I assumed I had the right name.

SO SHOOT ME FFS šŸ™„Ā 

fair enough, wcw

but i don't think there are many bays anywhere near the alice

    Firstly, I couldnā€™t understand some of what the boys were saying and vice versa. I heard Hermanā€™s Bay.

    Secondly, Iā€™ve not had the pleasure of going to Alice since I canā€™t afford to so should be forgiven for not knowing every single NT town, especially one with a population of only 500.

    Thirdly, it has nothing to do with spelling. Also, donā€™t ever question my spelling. End of story.

    And finally, you read about a group of young indigenous kids visiting from the NT, meeting our players, going to our match tomorrow night, and my misunderstanding of their townā€™s name is all you got from it???

    Youā€™re beyond cranky.Ā 

    They are the Ntaria footy club

    Hermannsburg may be the colonies name.

    Difference between Narm and Melbourne.Ā 

    I know what place I would call where the people are from. As is written on the uniforms they are wearing, Ntaria.

    Hermannsburg is also renowned as being the birthplace of Albert Namatjira.

    Prefer to call the place by it's indigenous name, Ntaria.

    You are right, Namatjira clan area.

    The Todd River in Alice Springs generally doesn't have water. The suburb in Melbourne called Bayswater is nowhere near the coast. The army has its base on the coastline in Darwin while the navy in the same city is situated inland. And red heads are called Bluey. That's what I like about Australia - all sorts of things can be the opposite of obvious.Ā Ā

    The nameĀ BayswaterĀ isĀ a derivation of Bayards Watering Place, which was first recorded in 1380. The area was largely rural and isolated until the 1830s, when road development and residential building were initiated aroundĀ Hyde Park. Areas farther to the north and west were developed soon afterward.

    I'm just leaning on a lamp post, there's a kind of hush and something tells me I'm into something good.

    Hope you like your coffee black because there's no milk today.

    No-one in rehab this morning, a Captain's run, 26 players.

    Laurie, Tomlinson, Tholstrup, Chandler, Woey, and Kossie are out there.

    Rehabbers are out now. Marty, McAdam, Melky, Bowey, Sestan.

    As a guess for in and outs, I would say, out Laurie, Tomlinson, and Woey as they were mainly in the yellow vest in the structural sims.

    Tholstrup was doing plenty off the half-forward.Ā 

    Chandler was running hard, giving the knee a test, no problems.Ā 

    There are group, maybe 20, from the area around Alice Springs (Ntaria). One of them will toss the coin at the game. The indigenous players all made some time for them. All in the MFC colours of their own club. The MFC also handed them some scarves.

    Ollie Sestan was not named on the injury list.Ā 

    Mystery injury of the week?

    Yes a bit like Moniz prior to Choco's update info.

    Wasn't exactly that mobile today so something's afoot it seems.

    He was doing full work with the MFC Casey Squad (no tackling) after the run with the rehabbers, he had some strapping on his left shoulder.

    Around the paddock today were signs indicating that the area had recently been sprayed with 'chemicals'. When, what, where and to what extent was not stated. Just, warning signs at various gates. There were no signs on it Sunday.

    I hope the MFC was told it was OK to use the field.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      ā€œMax 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.ā€ - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasnā€™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 Oā€™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, thereā€™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 Demonsā€™ poor use of the football, itā€™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 Campbellā€™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?
