Americain was very impressive winning the Moonee Valley Cup saturday but rises to 58 kg's. Craig Williams mount Dunaden is in with 54 and Jukebox Jury at 57 has less than Americain yet gave him weight and beat him in France, so he is really in the race. I would be taking the french trifecta for a start.

So we play GWS twice next year and first one in round 13 here. I am prepared to tip this far out, you know who, will be out injured that game. We play them again in round 21, away.

I think we have had enough of the bananas talk on this thread. Cherries.

Niow your talking. What about a banana on that backless top?

Good news. I will be up that way later in the week with WJ so we will have to discuss our draft prospects over a couple of banana smoothies. May even buy a few extra bananas to slice up on toast for breakfast. Might pop into the Gold Coast Suns and have a chat with Josh Caddy and let him know that he is still welcome to join us in 2013.

Have you turned your top back the right way round ?

Hope it wasn't a backless one.

I know that. I was using the term loosely, to describe a female, not to suggest she was 2 or 3.

Not that I want to start any of the boys gambling, but Jack Watts is the celebrity tipster in the Sun and is doing really well. He tipped a winner again in the Moonee Valley Cup winner and is killing the opposition.

Attended the Cox Plate and privileged to see a fair filly called Black Caviar. Never seen that many in the stands for any race there other than the Cox Plate. When she won the noise was deafening. Ran into the Governor of Victoria who not only was at the Bar with me but lectured me in Equity in my student days. He said he remembered from both, think he was just being polite. Spoke to the owner of Americain the Moonee Valley Cup winner and last years Melbourne Cup winner who told that the horse wasn't even fully fit. He was impressive and when fully fit could make it back to back Melbourne Cups. Manawanui looks to have a mortgage on the Derby next week. Great day.

Not to mention Over Under Sideways Down, Shapes of Things and Heart Full of Soul. Used to play in a band in my teens and we played and I sang these songs. Ah memories.

The Groove played one of their first gigs at lunchtime, at my old school Melbourne High, with me in the front row.

You would love it if you were sharing the royalties One of the biggest sellers of all time..

Finished last night with some Creedence and imagined myself on the Bayou. What a great singer, songwriter, guitarist John Fogerty is.

From he who thinks Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan were rock stars.

Now Reel Life - Send Me an Angel. I'll be singing the songs all day tomorrow.

Absolutely. Add, Promises- Baby Its You and keep your eyes off the boys sister,

While reading Demonland tonight I have heard Bee Gees - Love You Inside and Out, Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music , Dont Speak French - Girls Aloud ( love that clip) and now Crabby Appleton - Go Back. I have varied taste and love a lot of music styles. Hate rap.

Another good oldie, California My Way by the Aussie group Iguana. Flip side was also a great track Mary Go Round.

Yes and she still is. Married with kids.

Funny you mention him, his sister is a friend of mine.

"I belong with you", great song.

You can see them on you tube if you are feeling nostalgic.

Bit of trivia for you. The Homecombs drummer was a girl and her brother was the lead singer. Very few great female drummers over the years. The best IMO was Cindy Blackman in Lenny Kravitz's band who was the driving force behind " are you gonna go my way". She could really pound the skins.

I can see someone changing the name of the thread to the Not the Draft Thread. Don't want to give my age away, but while on Demonland, I have 70's Disco Hits on You Tube in the background. I am bouncing around on the chair and can hardly type straight. Wonder if I have any flairs in the cupboard, platform shoes and a bright shirt.
