Again, if anyone reading this is in Sydney, or likely to be visiting Sydney on either the 31st August (Bowlo)

I hope the gig went well for you '@hardtack' and all is ok...

    I owe you an apology rjay… I saw this post the other day and planned to get back with a reply after I’d finished whatever it was I was doing at the time… obviously I didn’t!

    All is reasonably ok, but despite now being on a break from chemo, I’m still occasionally being hit hard by the toxic waste still coursing through my veins!

    The gig went very well… in fact, much better than I was expecting. We ended up with a good sized crowd for the venue and they were very responsive which was really encouraging.

    The following is a link to a video a friend did on his phone and whacked up on Instagram… I’m pretty happy with it.

    No need to apologise, good to hear things went well and thanks for posting the link.

    Looking and sounding good...big crew on stage.

    I'm sure Pedal Steel is the most confounding of all instruments.

    Take care and I hope you don't get hit too hard by the waste, it doesn't sound like fun.

    Yes, there were seven of us on stage… we usually have six, but Richard Burgman (Saints and Sunnyboys) was sitting in on guitar; you can see him playing a black and white Stratocaster standing directly behind Ged, our pedal steel player… and Ged has only been playing pedal steel for maybe five years; he used to be the guitarist for The Lime Spiders, and more recently was a founding member, with his brother, of The Cruel Sea.

    I’ll be fine I think… our next gig is on Saturday week (20th) and then another of the 4th October. It’s good for the soul, if not the body 😉

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
