    I just heard the 49ers skinned the skins. Relief.
  2. What is not, is not. BTW: Additional takers accepted up until the completion of tomorrow's rookie draft; and I assume the same rules that apply to this thread apply to any conversation during tomorrow night's meal i.e. No T$ No B$?
  3. OK - tried to book for 4 people at Wongs but they're closed on Tuesdays - will book tomorrow.
  4. You should wash your mouth out with soap. Wongs is an institution in Elsternwick. Steven's parents opened it in 1958 and it's still going strong. I'll book for four unless we get a more runners by tomorrow morning.
  5. Sounds like a version of MFCSS. Perhaps AustralianXISS?
  6. I missed his name but the English cricket "expert" from The Independent newspaper who was matching wits with Crash Craddock on Summer360 should make interesting viewing if he's invited back. Spent last week bagging the Aussies and might have some explaining to do about the performances of Warner and Johnson.
  7. BTW ... did anyone notice the number called out by the Bombers when they announced their first pick. It sounded something like ... Selection 26 Essendon: "Player No AOD 9604"
  8. Which corner? There are four of them. The pharmacy, the chicken shop, the bakery and that place on the other corner. Which one is it?
  9. Poms just got on the reality bus?
  10. Anyone see this coming?
  11. The banana fritters are said to be capable of curing the worst cases of forgetfulness.
  12. OK.Let me explain this to you very slowly. If the size of the wager is the amount they're going to be charging to view the show and If the show is actually going free to air ... How much do I owe you?
  13. You don't need to worry about taking money from mates because if you check the terms there's no way I would be paying out anyway. You can foot the bill at Wongs if you like though
  14. I'm willing to bet you that they're actually going to charge subscribers to watch the draft programme.In fact let's make the size of the wager the amount they're going to be charging to view the show.
  15. Perhaps that might be because they are going to charge for viewing? If they do that then I'll seriously consider canceling Foxtel altogether at least until the footy starts again. How can they justify having a dedicated football channel that shows reruns all summer and makes you pay for the one "live" piece of broadcasting in that period of time?
  16. Comes in to bat to a rousing reception and a guard of honour from the Windies.
  17. I think it was initially WYL's suggestion. Anyone know where he is?
  18. To answer the question posed in the OP, Kumar got Chanderpaul out today for 25 in West Indies' paltry 182. India 0-37 with Sachin to come in at second drop in his final test. The way things are going, he'll probably only need to bat once.
  19. Shame on you Redleg for not updating us over the last couple of days on the countdown to the draft.
  20. And though mayest become a Free man.
  21. Didn't we agree 12 months ago that it was going to be at Wong's in Elsternwick?
  22. You should check your dates then.
  23. Fox Footy has telecast the draft in recent years. I remember watching it last year and recall that it was a very ordinary production with the presenters concentrating on a small number of the players drafted, having a limited knowledge of the players on offer and spending too much time talking about themselves and not the draft. Quite frankly, if that's the best Fox Footy can do for the sport which it's supposedly dedicated to, I'd rather listen to SEN which provides a better coverage anyway. BTW, how many days to go until the non telecast?
