Yes, I have a lot of relatives.

Killing Heidi - Melbourne?

Was Redleg representing him or was it someone else from the bar?

Something must be done about this ~ Fitzroy Street's decline a tale of old and new St. Kilda

If you want to watch something different in soccer, one of your cousins just started in the Under 9's.

Bucket poured.

I'm going to cover for KC from Casey who can't get a leave pass from work this morning. I haven't decided on my wardrobe yet but I'll look out for you Hardtack.

In Wellington NZ and our ship is parked right next to Westpac Stadium where Sri Lanka play England in a few day's time. Pity that we'll be in the Tasman by then.

Can he take a mark?

An interesting piece in The Guardian- Just not cricket – how Channel Nine is destroying a legacy

Rumour has it that there's a huge garage sale in Toorak on Sunday and punters might be able to pick up a Brownlow Medal on the cheap.

Not even BBL Smithy?

Nah, just arxing a question. BTW, I just read one of those SuperCoach write ups about Petracca on Facebook and it says he averaged 129 points during his two TAC Cup years kicking 63 goals from 29 games. As a bottom age player he scored an astonishing 210 SuperCoach points in the 2013 Preliminary Final collecting 9 contested marks, collecting 23 disposals and kicking 5 goals, 5 behinds. The boy can play just a little bit.

So you're excluding Nathan but there were other Abletts if I recall correctly including Garry Ablett Senior and Junior as well as a few others being brothers and/or cousins of Senior as well as the Tucks and that's not to mention the products of inbreeding that isn't confined only to the Romsey area but apparently also occurs out Drouin way.So which Ablett is our boy being compared to: * Senior who ended up playing mainly as a forward who was 185cm, 97kg. * Junior who is a champion in the midfield who is said to be 182cm, 87kg. * Other (name) Petracca is 186cm, 92kg.

I trust that's not a reference to Nathan Ablett.

Follow on imposed against Sri Lanka on day 2 at Christchurch. Could be over early tomorrow. Perhaps we could exchange opponents and play the last test against NZ?

Not enamoured with the BBL but congratulations to Klinger (105no) - and he got his ton with a 6 off the last ball of the innings AND he's a big Demon fan!!!

We do the same thing with our players.

At least we've always known that when Joe Cocker leaves this mortal coil, it would be straight out of the bathroom window. [cue: picture of a bathroom window from the frog]

You can mourn his loss but leave your hat on.

All booked.

Cool for me RL. Do you want me to ring the proprietor and ask him to cook up some smoked otway pork hock or knuckle (say 1kg) to help you with your paleo diet?

Why can't we just celebrate the fact that we have just drafted a player considered by the majority of AFL recruiters and many other judges of junior talent in the sport as the finest and best young player in the land? Why can't we then enjoy the fact that we have as coach of the club a man who is well paid and respected and who has in the past moulded some very good footballing talent into a premiership winning combination? Everything that happens in the future is entirely in the lap of the gods but for now we have just picked up Petracca, a handful of well regarded young talent and a few players of ability from other clubs, a couple who have performed well before at the highest level. They are what has been added to our list to help us move forward. That's the reality of the present and what we have now and in this current climate.
