Frost signs and they all go running ..... Just because he signs, doesn't necessarily mean we are out of leverage... Could be that the Crows aren't interested in him (could be another player and/or just pick 10), or we require some depth down back, and we're not prepared to let go of him - he's required...

What ever the case, these days Carlton don't travel there, and haven't for a long time. So it's no real biggie.

Whilst every win is important, and to end such significant hoodoo's or get the monkey off the back so to speak.....this game to me has more importance than any of the other previous lost games streak v North. Given where we were as a club, and where we are at this point - a candidate for top 4. Win this:- • and top 4 is still a very good chance • closer to cementing finals for 2017, first time since 2006. • could well be the final nail in Brad Scott's coffin as Norf coach. • could help Norf achieve wooden spoon.

May our thoughts go to those suffering the low pressure system which was Cyclone Debbie at the moment. From where it crossed the flattened land and to today where parts of Sth east Qld can expect up to 500mm. thankfully the banana plantations remain mostly okay unlike the damage inflicted by cyclone Larry and Yasi. So the good news you ask? Banana prices to remain steady for the time being unless supply is affected by transport - which could be likely, given this storms nature.

I think you've brought this up before picket. Just had deja`vu. Fell free to pm BBO if you want to express your B$ love and romance, but leave this discussion here to 'no B$' and bananas.

Getting my hands on Season 5 the end of this week. I'm going back-2-back - I'll be feeling like that bloke who caught up before his date. Tired.

Very observant of you Ernest. Perhaps Bitters can be referred to as the 'package'... God knows Stringer hasn't been living up to that in recent weeks...

Ernie, Entertaining is his game. No problem for Bitters, he'll blend in and go in unnoticed in Switzerland. Like the time as a late teen in his modelling days...the judges couldn't pick him!

Sometimes pictures help tell us a thousand words Ernest. And I reckon that would be Bitters shirt; he doesn't mind catching a few rays on the Suzuki.

He is a master of disguise BB, he spent some time with Bert Newton and Patty; many afternoon delights. Think Mission Impossible. Although I believe he's had trouble with the exploding gum, hence his penchant for wigs.

I know..I wasn't expecting a Suzuki either!

Good to see you're in stealth mode with the 'weeks growth' Bitters - you'll definitely blend in! ...the latest from CCTV captured from Beijing..: {Picture captured courtesy of and thanks to surveillance work via Cafe Beijing via Redlegs Cruise - Crystal Serenity docked in San Fran via Redleg} ps. Good work Redleg.

Nice one Ar se kicker! I've checked RL's progress and it appears the floatation city of Serenity (not the serenity depicted in The Castle by any stretch) is stuck in first gear. I'd dearly love a cruise like that. Given the camera positioning dead ahead view from the Captains quarters, Redleg has no concerns of any movements or spillage of his red wine during his San Diego bound feast! {unfortunately missing banana fritter - off the menu}. You would think given Americans spruik their detailed range of foods on their 16 page menus - they would at least bow to Redleg's request of a small bunch of bananas so that he may devour the finest of Banana Fritters for dessert. Pft..yanks.

Any planes? I see you're nearly halfway between Hawaii and San Fran. Surely the skipper would have been good enough to fly in several large bunches of bananas from the surrounding islands off Hawaii for the home route to San Fran?? You have a lot of pull RL. Have you had dinner with the Captain yet RL?

It's catching on thanks to RL:

Esters and Alcohols takes me back to my uni days years ago (ok .. decades ago) in the Chemistry components...there were quite a few. I can imagine Banana being a big hit.

We have ways of making a banana daiquiri without bananas BB. Now pay close attention...

Lol. I bet! Whilst all the rank (PD) and file are carrying on like a "nana" over Oscar, Dawesy & co. RL is cruising the seas with a banana daiquiri with an umbrella in it, chuckling to himself. He's only concern is JV's knuckle. What a life...

Here's your position: - http://www.cleancruising.com.au/ship_location.asp?ship=CRYSER

Strewth!

He's a smart kid Jack. So just to be silly and add more weight to conspiracy, I'll say he injured it early first qtr, realised how serious it was, knew that he would miss weeks and require surgery; (ruin any hope of a Brownlow). And when push came to shove, he thought stuff it...I'll give Ebert a few love taps just for kicks and see if I can stir my boys up and pull their finger out, at the same time send a warning out - you want to rough us up?... Here cop this. Sounds fair.

BROWNLOW

And he's been banned for two weeks before for headbutting (2011)
