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.

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.

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?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
