    Err, yes.  That's gilding the lily somewhat.

    I get the feeling that the author of that line is no stranger to ice.

    James' father Ian was a fine cricketer who once took all ten wickets in an innings of a Sheffield Shield game.

    There’s a HUGE difference between ‘could play a bit’ and ‘legend’

    I’m sure you were closer to ‘legend’ than ‘could play a bit’ - or so you’d have us believe 😁

    Charlie Curnow was called a champion last night. Superlatives are given out pretty easy these days.

    In his own mind perhaps.

    True, and we’ll soon need a bunch of new words to accurately describe someone of true greatness. For example, if James Brayshaw is a cricket legend, what does that make Ricky Ponting?

    It's all inflation. And a fair bit of this 'shrinkflation' that is becoming popular, too. Like how these days, for not particular reason, you need a Bachelor Degree to do what would have been a Diploma job twenty years ago.

    Meanwhile...

    The things you find when you search for 'Too many GOATs'.

    https://www.themanygoatsproject.com/

    A project to coordinate research on goat behaviour across numerous sites because it turns out one of the main features of goat behaviour is that their surroundings can influence their personality in radically unpredictable ways, so it is necessary to simultaneously study goats from a wide range of environments to allow for that situational effect.

    This is exactly the kind of the research collaboration that the internet was originally created for.

    https://www.goodgrowth.earth/post/too-many-goats

    There are too many goats. Not just in sport, but also, Mongolia.

    Cashmere got cheap, so cashmere goat farmers increased their herd and production to try to still turn a profit, which made cashmere get cheaper, so goat farmers increased their herd and production to try to still turn a profit, which made cashmere get cheaper, so goat farmers increased their herd and production to try to still turn a profit...

    Who would've thought that the world was in need of a Goat Cartel?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
