Also I go to have an eye-test now and buy reading glasses while early afternoon tipsy. Should be interesting.

Haha. We haven't had an old-fashioned floggin' in yonks. I had a great morning so whatevs. No learnings. Look forward to the Kolt causing random chaos at the pointy end of the season. Go Dees!

Back in Amsterdam for this one. Due to all the global daylight savings going-ons, this is the most friendly intercontinental time-slot that I can recall for some time, such that I can order a beer while watching with . . . not exactly pride . . . but less shame. For the local peeps, is Coco's the only go?

It's likely WCW will end up with more than one arm tied behind her back if she dares visit The Manor. Think below.

Scholars like my good self insist on little ums between our dots. Unspaced ellipses are for the likes of John Ralph, twitterists, and @WalkingCivilWar after too much caffeine.

For starters, an ellipsis requires a space between each dot . . .

South Aussie fritz with Lebanese cucumber makes for a surprisingly MasterChef gourmet sandwich. Don't take my word: ask King Charles!

In the old days Vilis ran a late-night factory outlet serving up delectable baked goods straight out of the oven direct to the public. Was always an interesting trip at 3am on a Tuesday morning in Australia's hydroponic equipment sales capital.

The bigger mystery was why Michelangelo Rucci kept coming to the post-match pressers dressed up as a dero with Villies spilled all over his Vinnies outfits.

This would have been a been a useful grading for a number of players over the years, including Clarry, Jurrah and Hogan. As to Pickett's stray elbow, nothing in it. But two of my most frustrating things in life are the sudden emergence of the word 'bias' as an adjective/adverb and MFC players being used as test cases. Viney, Trengove, ANB, and JVR just to name a few in recent years.

Looking at the stats sheets, I still can't work out who Michael Annie is?

Mentioned in another thread that a South Australian played a very central role in the development of penicillin. The dual flush toilet also emerged from South Australia. Would be poetic if we could send the two local teams' seasons down the drain in the space of one week.

The reason that lone Dees supporter can comfortably sit among those Port fans is that a South Australian led the practical development of penicillin.

If Demonland ever went down in a plane crash on a remote deserted island, you'd probably be one of the last ones to be eaten.

I've done a few ribs during my time, and once ripped off the cartilage - but never a few at once as far as I know, and in addition to a cracked vertabra. It's really hard to imagine May being back anytime within the next month at a minimum. It's not just the restriction in movement and difficulty in deep breathing, but shedding the protective mindset and regaining confidence in having the rib exposed. In the short-term he needs to be paired up with Spargo on rehab sidelines, such that he isn't caught out in painful laughter.

We should probably just delist them all and start over with a fresh set of 18 y/o kids. Maybe if we put our hand up to move to Tassie we'll get some extra draft picks and some better ones next time.

MFCSS: finally resolve forward-line issues. Later that day, injury disrupts forward-line issues resolution.

Yeah, a poor effort by May not to get back on the field and instead take the easy way by ambulance. #culture.

What's Gerald Healy's problem? Did we push him out or something? Also, currently searching online for a novelty jumbo sombrero to eat re. Tomald showing composure and restraint down back.

We need to stay sharp when the Hawks release Frostball: destroyer of systems.

Essendon. Nazi vibes made palatable by their recent Hogan's Heroes interpretation.

Checking in from Portugal near Guincho, where some of Her Majesty's Secret Service was filmed with Aussie George Lazenby in the lead role. I also once sold a CD to Sean Connery. Conclusion: no Australian should ever play Bond.

Why do you think the AFL would lower the free agency compo for Tasmania? What would be the practical reason if Tas were being made to draft out of the top end anyway (although I doubt that will apply to the top two or three draft concessions)? I would imagine they'd also want to encourage clubs to let their RAs go.

Thanks for adding my originally intended link. I see mine is about something completely unrelated. @Demonland Is it possible to fix that please?

But if they raid our star player free agency stocks toward the end of their careers on big $ it could set us up for a rapid rebuild through high-end draft compo and trade cookies, no? Maybe the timing will be perfect?
