Thanks all for your good wishes. I know where to take him if he ever wants to see an alpaca or visit a home for derelicts As for the name, it hasn't been announced but it's entirely up to the parents. If someone kicks the winning goal tomorrow against Port Adelaide, I will strongly recommend their name for consideration. I rather fancy something like "Heritier".

From what I understand he's definitely not Andy Lovell's son. At best, distantly related.

A tragedy for this thread which started with Shiv stonewalling against the Aussies. We finally get him out

Rule 6A is the sanity clause.

Said teacher's career prior to getting involved in education was rather colorful as well. Was a professional wrestler who went under the appellation of "The Animal" ~ http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Steele

Doesn't matter. bjDee's right. Let's stay on topic please.

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?

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?
