Redleg

Agree on Vince. Haven't seen the game yet as away, but was saying that in the last half of last season. He gets it and can kick a long goal, but he also turns it over and in defence that can be lethal. He is probably best now with bursts in the middle and spells in the forward half, where he can hurt the opposition with a goal. We have enough half backs now and don't need him playing there.

You agree with our Development Coach.

Thank you.

Surely this will be investigated by the AFL as it is miles worse than our tanking. If true they win a premiership while cheating the salary cap. Surely the premiership will now be given to the runner up. Who was that?

One of the reasons I stopped betting was to avoid disputes over the bet when others lost.?

My wife took the bet for you and you owe her $100.

As I said you have to have a winnable cause of action or you could get your claim summariably dismissed on an application to dismiss.

If he cannot show a proper cause of action that is winnable, his case can be thrown out on a summary application to the Court. You can summons the Defendants to give evidence but if you do, unless you can get them declared hostile witnesses, you are restricted in the way you ask them questions. For example you lose the right to cross examine them and you can't ask leading questions. The Defendant's own Counsel can then cross examine his own client/witness and get far more evidence in than otherwise. The right to refuse questions that may self incriminate is in criminal cases. The Plaintiff must prove their case and if not you can submit at the end of their case that there is no case to answer. If the Court agrees it is over.

I would say if we are ahead at any stage in the first quarter, the flag is in the bag.

Me too.

He was a leading player for SA tac side and was their captain. Hope he recaptures that form.

I don't bet.

I picked him as a champion before he was born.

That will be a secret for one game, if that.

Not happy "Jan".

Yes, he was a funny guy. I just had this memory of his funny saying/catchphrase and I couldn't recall where I had heard it.

That's what I thought.

Tried to book an appointment last time I was in his neighbourhood and was shocked to learn he wasn't seeing anyone anymore mainly because he died 78 years ago.

Think I found something. The first time a good friend of mine saw “Professor” Stanley Unwin”, the peerless purveyor of mangled mumbo-jumbo known as Unwinese, he was a little thrown. It was a quiet night in, just us two, the TV & a nice bag of magic mushrooms. Was this craziness his own psilocybin twisted perception or…well, what was this ? Carl was born too late to have heard or seen Stanley’s TV & radio appearances. He had missed out too on the long summer holiday of 1968 when our teenaged gang of four wondered at the circular sleeve (how mad was that !) and delighted in the Cockney Psychedelia of the Small Faces’ LP “Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake”. It was #1 on the charts for 6 weeks & Stanley Unwin was a pop star. So, “are you sitting comftybold two-square on your botty? Then we’ll begin.”

Speaking of bums. Can any of you guys recall where this silly saying came from, " are you all sitting two square on your botty"? It was either a TV show or radio show many years ago, when I was a kid. I think it was an Englishman that said it and it was repeated many times in the show.

Warning, don't light a banana at the beach, you could get "smoke on the water".

The banana smoothie is an accepted leader in the smoothie genre, but the banana milkshake lags well below chocolate, strawberry and vanilla in the milkshake department. As Professor Julius Sumner miller used to say on TV some years ago, " why is it so"?

What? Like your last line.

And you watched every other player in the AFL as well?

A terrible place to play footy. I don't think there has been a game there in the last few years without a gale. I know it is a suburban ground, but the standard of footy is pretty ordinary each week, because of the conditions. Obviously the alignment is working, but the conditions out there are usually very poor. Not sure it is a help to the development of our younger players.
