Save yourself some grief. Block is a good option.

Well in that case, they were all involved in the film industry. Actors, directors, Oscar winners is my best shot.

Chuck? Or music -related. Now I'm thinking it's film/cinema linked.

Just a little concerned. Elwood: "We'll be all right if we can just get back on the expressway." Jake: "This don't look like any expressway to me!"

Horses for courses. Let me know when your next up and coming maiden is ready for a gee-up.

Visited my local community health centre in Melbourne today to get a prescription for an unrelated matter. I was advised that my second Astrazeneca jab, due in a few weeks, was full-steam ahead and to ignore the false news being spread by uninformed sources. If there is a change, endorsed by the Federal government, the clinic will inform me directly. I'm happy with that.

An Oakridge Yarra Valley Pinot Grigio for me. As a starter. What follows will determine what unfolds.

Fairbanks it is. You missed the Junior and the look-alike. No wine for you!

Funny you mention that. Just uncapped a bottle of 2017 label Tournon, Pyrenees Grenache, Landsborough vineyard. French origin, Victorian licensed vineyard At first sip, well let's say it needs a little breathing. And by the way which of our current players resembles this Hollywood swashbuckler? It's a bit easy but both names to win the accolades.

I must admit that I was optimistic and thought "here we go!" I'm patient, to a point. But I'm now tasting a little too much bitters in my lemon and lime.

Weideman is not going to pop up suddenly and kick 5 goals any time soon no matter how many more weeks we play him at the moment. He's never going to be a Neita or a Schwarta with an intimidating physical presence anyhow. He has to either get really smart about positioning or develop a stronger lower body, torso, and stronger hands. He often gets to the right position but then doesn't have the strength to see it through. Brushed off like a fly. BBB is reported as going through a mid-season pre-season. Make of that what you will. (Clearly not meeting expectations set by the football department). The forgotten man is Mitch Brown. No star but a proven forward and goal kicker who knows and plays his role well. And he actually kicks goals and is a no fuss player. He could be our Clark Keating waiting in the wings...the September specialist. Worth a shot as clearly FF is a poisoned chalice in the meantime.

Just checked my blood pressure. I'll give it a miss for a while. Need to catch up on FB.

What, someone finally woke up?

Mark Williams, pull on the jumper, get out there and show them how it's done!

Well, according to the 2021 stats, we're the second half and last quarter specialists. I wait in hope.

Surprisingly it isn't from memory. One wing boundary to the other is pretty much the norm. It's the distance between the goals that's the difference.

You can also take Mark Williams out of the equation. No way Collingwood will appoint him. And unless Adem Yze has changed his name by deed poll, that's how it's spelt and pronounced. Bit over the ignorance of most sports journalists and commentators who are too lazy to know better. Simply disrespectful.

Just checked the Sydney metro forecast for tomorrow. Max 19 degrees, partly cloudy, light winds. Chance of rain 10%. I'll take that any day.

Just checked that it wasn't a full moon tonight but it may as well be it seems.

Big Max was 18/19 yrs of age when he we got him at pick 34 in the 2009 draft. He was tall but skinny as all get-out. We got lucky with someone who looked like a stick insect at the time. The patience and nous of the MFC in nurturing his talent over the journey, despite major injuries, should be applauded. But yes, clearly, at that time, not a top twenty pick. Always a diamond in the rough however. (Credit John Prine).

Exactly what was expected. Well-balanced team. And I assume that Ruby and TMac are putting the new bub on hold for a day or so as M. Brown is not on the bench.

It's all in the eyes and the attitude. Welcome aboard lads.

PS. I well remember Garry Lyon being interviewed in a winning Melbourne side in his early days at the MFC shortly after coming down from Kyabram. Struggled to put sentences together but made sense. In contrast, in the same situation, Buckley was still learning the alphabet.

Wouldn't have Buckley anywhere near the MFC. Very poor fit.

Here's a bit of a left field/loopy idea. We're not short of tall forwards now that TMac has reinvented himself and we have some cover currently playing at Casey. Weid or BB, who's the keeper? Essendon are crying out for a designated full forward now that Daniher has left for the Lions. Trade one or the other directly for Zach Merrett for the icing on the cake. He'd love it at Melbourne. Get the Melbourne Grammar boys back together... Merrett, Spargo, May.
