Rank your favorite songs
Thanks matey⦠it a bit of the āhow long is a piece of stringā situation. Chemo can last from 3-6 months or even longer. The optimist in me says Iāll be back doing it again early next year, but the realist says donāt hold your breath. š

Rank your favorite songs
For me AC/DC died along with Bon Scott⦠they still wrote good tunes but Brian Johnsonās vocals (for want of a better word) just rubbed me the wrong way! (and Iād seen him with the band Geordie in the very early 70ās⦠and even then I walked out of what was a free Canberra Day event on an oval somewhere after watching a few local bands, who were great by comparison). Favourite songs are so hard to rank as the list will always depend on my mood and my memory. There are songs that that many love that would never make my list (Bohemian Rhapsody being the first to spring to mind), so here are a few in no particular order (10 to begin with): 1. A Hard Days Night (Beatles) - that opening chord gets me every time! 2. Bitter Sweet Symphony (Verve) 3. Bang A Gong (Get It On) (T-Rex) 4. White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane) 5. Marie Provost (Nick Lowe) 6. Making Plans For Nigel (XTC) 7. Shivers (Boys Next Door) 8. Stupid Girl (Ellen Foley) 9. I Canāt Stand Up For Falling Down (Elvis Costello) 10. Factory Girl (Rolling Stones)

Umpiring discrepancies
I will watch the full game when I get a chance to⦠my son is usually fairly accurate with his summations, so I wasnāt going to dismiss his comments.

Umpiring discrepancies
Well, equally candidly, I was in no position to⦠my band had just played in Canberra, what will be our final gig for an indefinite period of time while I go into chemotherapy for the next however many months, and I had been taken out to dinner. I managed to get back to where I was staying in time to catch most of the second half.

Umpiring discrepancies
I agree to a point, but those missed calls probably even themselves out over the course of most games and are to be expected due to the pace of the game. Imagine how [censored] off weād all be if every single infringement were picked up by the umpires⦠it would create an almost unwatchable game due to the numbers of stoppages in play. I feel for the umpires as while being a necessary component of the game, theyāre always going to be damned if they donāt and damned if they do.

Umpiring discrepancies
So youāre saying that those three quick goals at the beginning of the last quarter were all a result of poor umpiring? The reason we lost was that we slept through much of the first half of the game, and then, when we had managed to get them on their knees by the end of the third, had a micro sleep allowing them to gain the ascendancy⦠if youāre going to blame anything else for the loss, then Iād be looking at the standard of the goal line technology, not the umpire. Iāll admit that I missed quite a bit of the game (first half) and am relying on my sonās first half assessment, but the only really dodgy umpiring decision I saw, was Roo having his legs taken out from under him on the boundary line in the dying minutes of the game.

Which hated player would you love to love at the Dees?
Greene, Bolton, and, can I say we hate Moore so that we can get him back to the club to which his father absconded.

Aliir Aliir & Lachie Jones in Concussion Protocol
I donāt think that it was about winning the local derby, otherwise they probably would have cleared Jones as well⦠obviously he was unable to continue and so the āmigraineā call. I believe it was all about their upcoming match against Geelong next weekend⦠they did not want to go into that game minus two important players. I would have loved to see the AFL force them to sideline those players for two games, not just the one⦠and a full investigation to determine whether the club doctor was under any pressure to make that call.

What They Are Saying at Punt Road
I know itās supposed to be insulting, but that had me actually laughing for it sheer brilliance! A Tigers supporter with a good grasp of the English language (vocab, not structure) and sense of humour⦠and, Iād suggest, someone I might get along with quite well.
