I'm humidifying in Siem Reap.

Will have a delicious bowl of Pho and meander over to the God awful Pub Road to watch it in a God awful pub looking every inch the Aussie bogan tourist in my dees jumper and red and blue multi purpose Cambodian scarf.

Go Asuras

For some reason I already had you down as a stereotypical Aussie bogan.

Enjoy the Pho and warm weather.

I had an MRI this morning and the nurse in charge asked me what music I’d like fed into the headphones I was given to drown out the thumping vibrations of the machine , and I was obliged with the soothing sounds of the Dees’ ode of joy.. on repeat for 12 minutes

I hope I hear it again tonight.

Put them away Demons. Crush them

Cripps Brownlow last year was absolute Corruption. The only Rule Carlton understands

In that order. Can't stand em.

A must win tonight solely on my level of hatred.

But sometimes that's good enough to hold my interest.

Such a misery guts with footy at times.

Will be keen to see how young Jeffo goes again and our fwd line without Petty.

Geez you’re generous

Collingwood occupy my first 15 spots

Geez what an evening of sporting delight! An absolute extravaganza.

Le Tour in the Les Pyrenees in some of the best cycling countryside you’ll ever see or ride in. Get me to the Tourmalet and Three Musketeers country, now!

Royal Portrush

The game

the remote is going to get a workout!

Surely you’re on the no fly list.

[censored] this wind. If it’s deemed too windy for us to raise the banner (safety concerns) Clarrie’s 200th banner won’t see the light of day. Dagnabbit, I told him how awesome it is and he said he’ll have a good look at it.

Thats very disappointing for everyone. Strangely, believe it or not I've seen the effort that goes into a banner. Not to be sneezed at.

When that effort is doubly heartfelt it truly hurts.

Im sure Clarry appreciates the effort and sentiment. No doubt disappointing for him as well.

Crossed fingers and toes the gods deem fit to calm the winds for a while.

Honestly, I’ve always known if it’s too windy there’s no banner and it hasn’t really mattered too much. But this one really matters. Clarrie needs regular reminding of how much he’s loved and valued, he really does. Some people are just like that. I wish I hadn’t mentioned the banner but as you said he’ll still appreciate the effort. Kinda wish we were at Marvel tonight.

Well you got the hair colour right, and I have on occasion been told I can be a real b!ttchh. 🤣

What if the wind dies down @Ghostwriter?

Sucks for him he won’t get to run thru his banner for his 200th!

Also heads up if anyone is coming in on the Monash, major delays around Wellington and Springvale roads

I know you can’t trust the forecast but the wind is supposed to dip down to 13 k/ph at 7:15, which is surely more calm than last week’s game.

Hopefully you’ll get the all clear.

Nah, Hurstbridge, but pretty much every line is down this weekend it seems.

We’ll still take the banner out and lay it out in readiness for raising and then if the wind has died down sufficiently we can do it right before the boys run out.

We have to be mindful of sudden gusts. One of our guys was hit on the head by a pole at Casey on a relatively calm day when a huge gust came out of nowhere. And that was at a W match where the banner and poles are smaller.

Pumped for the big game tonight. I don’t usually go to away games but wanted to be there in person for Clarry’s 200th game.

Not gonna lie, I will miss my padded seat in the trident reserved area on level 2. Instead, I’ll be up on the top level Olympic stand with all the riff raff. This could get ugly.

Go Dees.
