Whatcha talkin about Willis?

Winner of cup, number 23 in red and blue colours. Omen for our part of the draft on November 23. Our first pick, yes 23. Further omen, 3rd horse in cup also in red and blue colours. Our 3rd puck looking good as well.

Can’t believe I have scheduled Foxtel to install a satellite on draft day, at the very time that the draft is on. Looks like it is DL on the computer, for me at draft time.

Now you have started it.

Not at all. Have you seen the state of BBO’s manor or tasted his wife’s cooking?

Up here in the home of the Gold Coast Suns for a short break. Haven’t seen a single siting of any GC Suns colours, either in the shops, or on any of the holidaymakers. That is a little unusual .

Didn’t think it was an insult.

And accomodate needs, like the 3 day Anzac break, 6 day back to back interstate trips and NT recovery requirement etc. Would prolong careers as well.

Just as Taylor would want.

Well, they are very important factors. Someone else posted that we make $1m a game in NT. Not sure that is correct, but if it is, it will be hard to walk away from. Then again, if correct figures, we should be seeking less other interstate games, as we already have more than other Victorian clubs and we are promoting the game in the NT by playing there.

That is why I referred to “ the bottom line ,“ which would take into account all income and expenses.

Would love to know how much the same game at the G instead, plus less costs would work out at. In other words what is the bottom line difference? Also taking away another 2 games from your fans has to be factored in, not to mention the travel for the players and the extra disruption to recovery etc. The big clubs don’t do it for a very good set of reasons, I would hope that we have now entered the same set of circumstances and can get rid of one or both games.

How disappointing!

Reckon there will some new faces in both teams, in either the Anzac game or the one before.

Ok. Well I seriously wonder if in our current position, both on and off the field, playing both games in the NT rather than say one or even none, is a bad choice.

So what is the benefit in the fixture for us agreeing to play in NT twice, 2 extra interstate games is the answer.

Pies 5 interstate to our 7, plus we also get Geelong.

That will be the 8 th game of the year not in Melbourne. Yes I know NT are 2, but that is very disappointing for Victorian fans, who want to see their team play live, without the extra expense of travel and in the case of Geelong, it’s probably sold out anyway, as it’s their first home game.

Consider it done. I know a bloke who does home made wine and I will get you a bottle of his famous “ home on the grange”.???

Well lads the fixture is out tomorrow so that should provoke some serious discussion, or not. Rumour that Queen’s Birthday and Anzac Day games will be away games for us. That is not good for our finances.

But we still get sent to Geelong nearly every year while other clubs never go there.

I think Mrs Bitters would identify with Rocky Road chocolates as they would describe her marriage to BBO.

Is there a specific brand one should use?

What’s the bleach for, dirty shirts?
