I’m just getting to the end of Season 1 of For All Mankind (about to start ep.9 of 10) and am loving it. I’m up to date with The Penguin, and yes, that 4th episode was excellent. I haven’t seen any of Silo yet; is that on Apple TV+ or Netflix or Prime or Foxtel? 🤣. I have been watching The Rings of Power on Prime, which is very good. On Netflix they are currently showing three movies which I can’t recommend highly enough, two of which are the same movie, one in colour and the other in B&W, Godzilla Minus One, and the other is Hayao Miyazaki’s most recent animation, The Boy and the Heron.

I’d be happy for us to take Tauru with our pick 5 and then the best of the midfielders available at our pick 9

Maybe he’s intimating that both Kozzie/Clarry and Trac are packing up and moving out next year? 😁😉

He’ll be out of contract next year, so if we’re still looking for a player of his type, I’m sure we’ll be able to land him. It’ll be interesting to see if GWS play him next year, if for no other reason than to see why they didn’t let him go 😁.

In all fairness, that’s an easy mistake 😉

Um

You don’t possibly have a larger font do you? I’m having a little trouble reading your post.

I got a free 3 months access to Apple TV+ and have been doing a bit of binging. Slow Horses is brilliant (just finished season 1); so good in fact that it kept me watching into the wee small hours. I also watched Hello Tomorrow which is a retro-futuristic series in the vein of the superb Fallout, but without the violence. I loved it. I’ve been recommended a series called For All Mankind, so it looks like I’m going to get good value out of my free time on Apple TV+.

Ned McHenry could be a good replacement for ANB and would cost very little.

Not directly related to the ANB trade, but would the now delisted McHenry be worth the club looking at as a replacement for ANB?

Am I missing something? Where in what you quoted, does it say that Trac didn’t like Oliver’s behaviour?

Old jungle saying

Unfortunately, that doesn’t give him a free pass, particularly when we exited in straight sets two years on the trot; if he can take credit for our reaching finals, then surely he can equally take the blame for our rapid exits and subsequent rapid fall down the ladder? I’m not calling for his head, but I think a little perspective is in order, and at the moment, Goodwin IS treading on thin ice. Pert however, if it’s true that he’s been undermining the Football Department by shopping Clarry about, and as a result of that, putting us back in the crosshairs of the media pundits, just as things were somewhat settling down, then surely he must not be allowed any place in a review of the club. In fact, if someone must go, I’m not sold on it being Goodwin, but I wouldn’t be unhappy to see Pert shown the door.

I agree with these two points. I’m not going to go slinging mud at Katy Perry as, like any of us, who wouldn’t jump at that sort of a payday, and even though her music doesn’t appeal to me, she can sing and she undoubtedly does have talent. However, I think the $5m could be much better spent, and a free round is a great idea… alternatively, make GF tickets a little more affordable so that the average person doesn’t have to fork out excessive dollars in order to get a seat. I do not agree with the idea that having an international act with a high profile is going to help ‘break’ the game overseas, as I honestly cannot see it ever becoming a dominant sport anywhere but here. Maybe it rakes in a few more dollars in advertising revenue, I don’t know, but is that enough to make it a worthwhile investment(?). I’d love to see some local talent given a go, but not the usual dinosaurs that they push… as much as I might like some of them, we don’t need to keep dragging out artists from yesteryear (Mark Seymour, Tina Arena, etc etc). Get fresh young local talent that could do with some exposure. It would cost next to nothing compared to what they’re forking out for imported artists, and it wouldn’t affect attendance as a GF is going to be a sell out crowd regardless of the entertainment.

I watched ep 1 of The Penguin and thought it shows a lot of promise… very dark! I would highly recommend a series on Netflix called Move to Heaven, a Korean production about a business that cleans the rooms of the deceased. It’s incredibly moving and is, for me at least, one of the best series I can recall seeing, ever! Also, while on Netflix, the have the latest Godzilla offering that marks his 70th anniversary. It’s called Godzilla Minus One and is a seriously good film, not just as a kaiju film, but as a piece of writing, acting and directing; simply put, it’s brilliant!! They also have the B&W release of the same film titled Godzilla Minus One, Minus Color. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

That’ll come later after I get home.

A half?? I’d do it for $50 and a meat pie!

My band is playing in Canberra on the afternoon of GF Saturday from 3pm, so I’m going to miss watching it. The challenge for us is to avoid any contact with people who might be following it during our performance, so that we can all watch it later on in the evening (our pedal steel player lives close by in Sutton and has Kayo), as if it hadn’t already happened. Fortunately the venue, Smith’s Alternative, has no TV screens on the premises. (how to advertise your gig, without advertising your gig)

Last December I decided that as I’d be spending a lot more time sitting at home, I’d try to get back into drawing, something that I hadn’t done for decades.So, I bought myself a nice Derwent A3 sketch pad and a ROtring Isograph Technical Drawing Pen set, ready to relive my days at Swinburne as an aspiring graphic artist, back in the early 70’s. Then, courtesy of the chemo (which no doubt people are getting tired of hearing about, by now 😉), peripheral neuropathy has pretty much killed off any likelihood of me reliving that particular part of my past to any great degree, but I am now considering using Inktober as a form of therapy, and to test the power of mind over matter; not that it matters. Thanks for alerting me to the Inktober challenge, as I’d completely forgotten about it until now.

Does that matter?

I think you’ll find that by ‘shut down’, he means that it should not be trade-able, but rather kept to be used in the draft.

To them I say, “Have at me!!” 🤣 Note that I did post at approx 4:30am, and I am neither in Perth nor a foreign principality, so I can safely say that I plead insanity.

I don’t have a clue as to Peatling’s value, so I’m guessing, but would this year’s pick 3 plus our future pick two, get Peatling plus Derksen thrown in as the set of steak knives? (I’m hoping we’ll keep our possible pick 2 (ANB) from Adelaide, with a view to improving our draft hand)

Must be a bitter pill to swallow (pardon the pun) for Robbo.
