I'm going along and being a local resident here's a few tips for food and bevvies. A new Woolies supermarket opened recently three minutes walk away under the new high rise units (which you can't miss) which has a cafe, sushi station, hot pre-prepared food down the back section, a bakery with all the usual stuff you'd find at Bakers Delight and a bottle shop. If that's not enough there's a dog park opposite the supermarket which has a cafe across the road. Further down Macaulay Rd, one minute further, past the Boundary Rd intersection, there's a caf that does burgers, chips, salads etc. You won't go hungry or dry depending on your need. As far as access is concerned, I've always just walked into Arden St.

I live around the corner from Arden St and it's had quite the make-over since the old days. New training facilities, landscaping, a gym, practice facilities for other sports and the playing surface is in terrific nick. Highly recommend a visit if we do end up playing there. A blast from the past for many of us but without the negatives of yesteryear.

"Richardson impressed" that he's not unemployed.

Congratulations to Charlotte and Jack. Fantastic news and all the best to them. But did I miss something? As far as I can tell their baby's gender hasn't been made public so she may just as well create havoc through the centre in the AFLW.

I read, I briefly pondered then decided no. Let it ride.

Of course I never saw Jack Dyer play but a few of the old Tiger faithfuls told me on more than one occasion many years ago when I saw Paddy play..."that's the closest you're ever gonna see to Captain Blood". Pretty great tribute from the fans. And he had bucket hands and played willingly. A Richmond favourite and now a fond memory. Well played Paddy.

"Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line" Bob Dylan. 'Shelter from the Storm'. From 'Blood on the Tracks'.

You need to learn some history dieter. Take your time and don't shoot from the hip. Try AFL archives or Wikepedia for starters. Why post this reply without any knowledge?

Tough and reliable player Roger Dean. I remember him mostly as a nuggety back pocket. I was at the game. He faked Barassi's contact big time. The irony is these days he would be suspended for staging.

Racking up a lot of meh posts recently since joining the board Sorry. It's "their" btw and either "wishful" or "fanciful" is redundant. I'll leave your use of punctuation alone. Take your pick but don't feel the need to pontificate on everything you read. I thought the school holidays had finished.

I suggest that you stay in the "confusion room" until things become clear to you. Trust you recover soon, take the meds, (and can actually post again with some degree of attention to how a proper sentence is written and punctuated btw). Another Spargo basher who is writing off a second year player. And love your dumb Nazi monicker to boot.

I trust Darwin feels the same way Uncle.

For goodness sake. Let's give some of this virulent May bashing a break. Yeah, he's to blame for our current woes and won't provide anything down the track.

Must be a bad moon rising. We may get a win tonight (and I hope we do)...doesn't really matter over the course of this season. Even if we fluke enough wins and make the 8 this year it's not going to be pretty. I'm already in reload mode for 2020. If we can get key players back fit and healthy and draft smartly then watch out. Until then.

Drop-kick. Move on.

If the Bluey votes were tallied right now, I have little doubt that Christian Salem would be leading the board. Big difference between Brownlow votes between two teams each week and internal club voting for best player in the one side each week. If he maintains his current form I'd back him in.

"We need to maintain core stability" according to Hemingway. More like "core instability". We fell over the line by 5 points and got lucky for once and now have two wins. Forget injuries, operations and limited prep. Either O'Mac takes the game on and shows a bit more footy nous, awareness and attack or he'll be treading the same water that Petracca sank in.

Nice quick google research [censored]. You're now on ignore.

Matsuo Basho indeed. You have a lot of front and nerve in ripping off one of the Haiku masters names. Sounds mysterious and exotic with a hint of authority to many. FAIL. Your observations and comments do a disservice to him. He would roll in his grave if he had to read the combative and assertive posts you serve up. That was not the spirit of your namesake to any degree. And before you reply, I have lived and worked in Japan and have no respect for your posts under his name.

My modus operandum for watching Melbourne matches live to air so far this year. Turn the TV on but it's sound off and you can't see it without turning around from a laptop set up in the "sports room" as my other half calls it. Follow the updated scores on the regular AFL site occasionally and nervously. Turn up sound when we get lucky and quickly switch back to TV again. We get in front or even remotely mount a challenge... Cough loudly as I sneak another bottle of whatever's available into the front room and hope for the best. Getting flogged..you can guess the rest.

Just got in and there's 4 points in it. Apparently we're playing like crap and got poor umpiring decisions. Not slashing my wrists quite yet.

Just like Hawthorn did with O'Meara (sp) and Scully. Depends on your medical staff diagnoses and an A1 medical/fitness team to get them right. Scully I'm still not sure about but did I just read that O'Meara has extended his contract? You take your chances sometimes.

Exactly what I think every time I read some of your comments.

What have we here? A grammar Nazi, (with apologies to Seinfeld). Wrong on more than one count unfortunately Dee-Vina. People in glass houses etc. Firstly, 'crimes against English' might be understood as the UK having to front at the war crimes tribunal. I'm sure you meant to write' the English language'. Benefit of the doubt. "Completely unnecessary' ...'completely' is redundant. Look it up in your Funk and Wagnells. Your punctuation is an absolute mess. A question mark indicates the end of any sentence and requires a capital letter to follow. And a full stop is the customary way to finish any sentence or post. Next time you apply for a job I'll be happy to review your resume.

I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the performances in a praccie match played in Shepp in 38 plus degrees heat. Regardless, you underrate Spargo. What is he? 19/20? This year is his second year in the big league. A very smart footy brain and mature beyond his years. ANB I have no issue with. Garlett is very secondary backup if he, at his mature age (for a footballer), ever gets his body right again. That's the ruthless way it is if we are serious about winning the flag...and about time.
