Not to mention that they haven’t had a one goal second half since 1968! 🤣

Loved Toots & the Maytals ever since I first saw the film starring Jimmy Cliff, ‘The Harder They Come’, when they did Pressure Drop. Since then I’ve seen them a couple of times: once in London’s Hyde Park and then at the Phoenician Club in Sydney. They were such a fantastic band.

That’s a fantastic memory for you and your family (particularly’Dad’), and cudos to the club for being so responsive to your request. Treasure it!

I stopped it years ago 🤣

aka ‘Demonic Irrigation’

I think I’m going blind… and no, not for reasons some might think (I put it down to age). You might be right about the freedom (or lack thereof) of choice; probably a limited range. And yeah, I hope to go…er, the deity of choice, that Max was taking the pizz. What they should have done was have every player choose Country Road just to completely ruin it for Brisbane. The only time I’ve ever even slightly enjoyed that song was in the Studio Ghibli film Whisper Of the Heart, where it is sung in Japanese.

Yes, why aren’t the AFL aware enough to have all of the Round 0 teams play each other in Round 1, to give the rest a chance to catch up? Seriously brain-dead at AFL headquarters!

Or the Curling team.

That says a lot about me I suppose 🤣😂🤣. Fair comment!

How old is Langford?? ‘Believe’!!?! Ok, I’m sure there must be a few Cher fans out there, but what’s a young fella like Langford doing listening to that stuff? And as for Max, what the hell?? or should I say heaven? To me there are just three, two of which I give a barely passed mark… Daft Punk nearly had me until the god awful autotune kicks in… Titanium with Sia is pleasant enough, but JVR, who appears to have been raiding his parent’s record collection, wins with Rock the Casbah (although there are 50 Clash songs I’d probably pick before it😉). If you’re going to go through the parent’s collection, Verve’s ‘Symphony Bittersweet’ is a good ‘un as are songs like Itchykoo Park (Small Faces), Iggy Pop’s Passenger, Bowie’s Life on Mars or Heroes… I know everyone has different tastes, but, well, er, um, jeebus…I don’t know…

Maybe hairline fractures heal faster? I had a broken arm right at the shoulder (fell out of a tree) and that felt like it took forever to heal; also modern surgery techniques probably accelerate the healing process. The worst thing about my broken arm though, was that while I was waiting to go for surgery (Children’s Hospital in Melbourne), Rolf Harris came through giving all the kids wobble boards and promoting Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport! And as for the ‘wobble boards’ they were just a piece of friggin’ Bernie Board, that he hadn’t even bothered to sign! Was a scumbag then, and right up to the end!

Nothing to do with your response (although I do prefer Howes for his run and carry), but do you know when you’re quoting others, the quote is appearing three times?

It’s probably just me, but I thought Kolt looked a lot more comfortable in a defensive role, but if he is picked, I’m guessing it would be to rotate in the forward half… but I doubt he will be picked; Culley yes, but Kolt no.

I’d rather that Rivers is played in the midfield, not back. I’m sleepless in Dulwich Hill, and totally wired out of necessity, so, at the risk of making a fool of myself, I believe that Howes could be useful, based only on his pre season, which I thought was not too bad at all…he attacks the ball and provides run and carry; I’d love to see him and/or Jiath(?) linking up with Windsor, to get the ball quickly into our forward fifty.

Indeed it did! What a way to get busted!

Useless factoid: the guitarist/pedal steel player in my band, Ged Corben, along with his brother, were founding members of the Cruel Sea. They started out as an instrumentals band.

It could be worse I suppose…they could have that god awful Kiss-Cam like they have at American baseball games during the breaks in play.

Yes Barrett was probably a better songwriter than musician, but I loved the way he sung with a real innocence/naivety to his voice… a shame he dropped a little too much acid. Gilmour is a great player, although my favourite British guitarists are Peter Green, Albert Lee and Robert Fripp.

Are you certain that they soothsayer was directing his advice towards the Dees?

Is it at all possible that we’ve struck a deal with Caulfield and so have signed on for Waverley as an interim solution? Could there be further announcements coming soon?

I was actually a big fan of Syd Barrett.

It was my favourite album back in the very early 70’s… Careful With That Axe Eugene which was used in the film Zabriski Point, was my favourite track. I was fortunate enough to see them live at Knebworth in the UK in 1975, performing Dark Side of the Moon complete with a Spitfire (3 of them) fly past right on the stroke of sunset. Despite the fact that I’m one of the few people who aren’t particularly impressed by DSoM, it was a brilliant show.

I think in honour of us dinosaurs and our very own Picket Fence, the Pink Floyd number, ‘Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In a Cave and Grooving With a Picket Fence’.

I would love to have been at that show… considering that he (Leonard Teale), died on the 14th May, 1994. Edit: saw your edited post… yeah, Shhh…atner would be an excellent substitute.

No, as much as I love Leonard Cohen, I do mean Leonard Teale… he did a spoken word version of Stairway to Heaven, on Andrew Denton’s, Money Or the Gun.
