Is that a Threadgold Thoroughgrip Garterette?

Correct.

I see what you’re getting at, but I also think they might want to give the Gawn/Preuss forward/ruck combo a proper try out before taking it into a match where premiership points are at stake. I suppose we’ll find out soon enough.

If you have an interstate membership, then tickets are free. I just ordered mine by following the link in an MFC email and they are, as mentioned above, in Bay 2... so I assume this means most Dees supporters will be in that area.

I was actually going to add 2 dummy spits. To be fair though, he did improve his output by half time so he now has 2 marks, 2 kicks and 3 handballs.

More than half way through the 2nd quarter and 2 kicks, 2 handballs, 2 marks and 0 goals.

Hey Rob, any chance you’re in town for the opening round?

I don’t know much about that, but the resolution is: 5760 × 3840 (22.3 effective megapixels)

Is it possible the lens is not full frame compatible?

5D is full frame, 7D is not. 5D uses both SD and Compact Flash, 7D uses just Compact Flash (can’t recall what limitations there are regarding the size of the CF card). I used to use a 7D and upgraded to a 5D Mark III... now dreaming of when I can afford to upgrade to a Mark IV.

He retired.

1. Spent two weeks in Taiwan and, among other things, did a presentation about Australia to a bunch of kids studying English in a public high school 2. Drove from Sydney to Melbourne via the coastal route down the Princes Highway and spent a couple of weeks catching up with friends. 3. Took my son to Tokyo for a couple of weeks and wandered around taking photographs and eating.

The main forum is called Melbourne Demons isn’t it? Is the women’s team not the Melbourne Demons?

I hope you’re just as willing to re-visit your post every time we win a game with a good conversion rate.

Another in favour of putting it in the main forum... my browser defaults to this forum page and so I tend to miss updates on the AFLW forum unless I consciously go looking for them; something that’s easier said than done when you’re brain-dead.

I have no doubts about that at all... he’s actually taken to photography and has a very good eye for the composition of his images... makes me happy because after music, that’s my other passion.

No interest in that... although I did hold out some hope at one point in time when he told me his favourite song was by the Clash

Would love to get back to Melbourne to play gigs, but when your a low profile bunch of part timers, the logistics are a bit daunting; not to mention the fact we may just not be good enough ? (there’s a link to YouTube in that music thread in the General forum). Sadly my son has given up any hope of playing again (for the time being at least) as since his second ACL and first full reconstruction (first was just an arthroscopy), he still feels tightness and instability and lacks the confidence to give it a proper workout.

I used that image in a poster for one of my band’s gigs... Sean Smith saw it in the Facebook event and wanted to see the band... unfortunately we’re about 1,000kms north ?

This one is, I think, better as it gives a wider view (same pic I think, just uncropped)...

I thought it was funny that no-one in the commentary seemed to noitice that the ball got into our forward fifty courtesy of a superb kick out of the centre by a Magpies player (can't recall who). It was not mentioned once or even replayed.

A bit shameless self promotion here... my band Los Romeos Oxidados recorded live at the Marrickville (Sydney) bar known as The Gasoline Pony, covering a Lefty Frizzell tune "Watcha Gonna Do Leroy" (maybe not everybody's cup of tea, but a bit of fun nevertheless) - note also, if you hang on after this tune finishes, there are six more clips of varying lengths that will start up automatically (starting with our version of King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man); but be warned, production values were thrown out of the window and we're probably fortunate that we weren't as well!:

I ain’t too proud to beg.

From an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies in which the Hollywood actor Dash Riprock’s (aka Homer Noodleman) friend and fellow actor Crunch Hardtack impressed Jethro so much that he decided to give himself the stage name of Beef Jerky... for some reason Hardtack seemed like a pretty good name to have.
