The game highlights only go for 7.56...

IF he 'bumped' him there would not be any issue about this. As has been pointed out, he walked at and walked into Stevic, all the while mouthing his self-indulgent bulldust: the bottom line is that you just don't DO THAT. If somebody came at you like that you'd probably feel a wee bit, shall we say, affronted?

Exactly: its schoolyard bully stuff.

So, he's a pugilist who has a mate who gets into fights. I grew up with idiots like that in Lumpen Prol land. It defines everything that's wrong with people who keep getting into fights, or putting themselves into situations which precipitate violence. The AFL had to change a rule because of his proclivity to kick people while he was 'marking' the ball. Whether he is a good footballer or not is totally irrelevant: he's an [censored].

By acting like sooky thugs???? I'd hardly call thuggery 'elevation'...

Who hasn't had a hard life? And being a 'champion of the game' does not give him license to act like a thug on a football field.

Will do, later today_ have to cook the Lamb Shanks now...

SO impressive. I just write fiction - short stories. I have about 46, which I hope to publish as 'Mother Tongue: Theme and Variations.' I re-read one of them last night and after a bottle of Red I was prepared to announce that I am a Genius!

No kidding. What stuff do you write?

Made up for the commentary during the game where he reiterated the state of play regarding ladder positions ad nauseam.

14. I was at Cricket Practice for the Sunshine Cricket Club.

If that was an Anzac day round you're right. I was driving a taxi that day, tuning in at the Park Street Rank in north Carlton.

I finished watching the replay about an hour ago. In fact, I only tuned in two times last night. Once at the 27 minute mark of the last quarter when we were 2 points down, then 5 minutes later after they'd won. Yes, I'm a gutless worrier. The umpiring was a joke. The Geelong 'handballs', the arbitrary 'in the back' decisions, the deliberate out of bounds decisions, and too many others. We were, however, lucky that Cameron the the other 'enemy dude' collided... In the meantime, there was criticism of Fritsch and MacDonald. The latter's 'touch' was off, but I thought Fritsch had a go all night. I liked Sparrow's game as well, and Bowey's. In the meantime, as Jackson matures, he will begin to hold most of the marks he's dropping all too often at the moment.

Melbourne was 50 points in front of Essendon in an Anzac Day match in the early 1990's. Northey was the coach. They lost.

6: Oliver 5: Gawn 4: Lever 3: Salem 2: Pickett 1: Langdon.

He did concede that the free kick against Brayshaw was bulldust. Don' worry, I despise him...

Jaded, it's better than being Diseased!

That's tautology.

Well, I guess some leopards never change their spots: I understand he's an expert epidemiologist, an expert Football Club President, and on expert in how to sell off infrastructure to his mates and cronies, a la Reagan and Thatcher.

Please tell, what's its gist?

Oh, BB, when will it dawn on you that life itself is pollical?

We can do a barbie: I'll bring the Bratwurst.

My wife's family are from there. My father-in-law who died recently always talked about the dreadful sights he witnessed as he passed the Łódż ghetto when he was a teenager. After the war his oldest sister married a Doctor from Łódż, you know, marry a doctor, an Auschwitz survivor, they emigrated and the doctor practiced from his home in Eskdale Road. My wife tells wonderful stories about the weekend family gatherings there. I know Jewish people who were his patients. He died before I met my wife but I wish I had met him.
