What kind of orchard? Hope they're plums. Felt like pruning a few plums off a few players on Sunday night.

Really surprised / disappointed that Gawn hasn't marked well in the last 2 games. He has shown he can take the odd decent mark previously at AFL level in games gone by. But be has really stood out as a strong mark at times when playing forward at Casey. He CAN mark and mark well. Just needs to bring that form to the big time games.

I don't prune beards, or any other sort of body hair.....

I don't have a garden anymore, but I'm going to go out and find someone else's and work in it for the whole weekend, no radio, no TV, nuthin.

When I learned this, it was 'nil illegitimus carborundum'. Same effect, must have been a different dialect.

Dee-luded's posts are entertaining, but they drain all the colour and font options in my screen. He wears out my screen more than any other poster.

Have to say, from what I saw until part way through 3rd term, King was not much in the play. For a lot of the time, the ball was doing circle work up and down the ground, not getting to the extremities at either end where King was stationed for us pretty well all game. I am so glad King kicked 5 and I saw a couple of good ones, but for the rest of the game players like Bail an Harmes stood out much more for me, purely on possessions and influence on the game around packs. With Jamar and Spencer playing he was never going to get a run in the midfield, but that was fine. He is still a beanpole, but since I saw him last year, he seemed to have gained a decent bit of body proportion and (almost) muscle in his lanky limbs. I really expect the full muscle won't appear until the next 1-2 years. Let's just give him time to see how well he develops. He has shown some more potential than I could see in him last year, but he ain't Elvis yet. Kingy, I want you to hide yourself away over the summer and work on your body like Clubber Lang / Mr T from Rocky III. "Prediction? Pain." ―Clubber

Maybe DEDUL-EED has an alter ego and is agreeing with him/herself?

Texted a picture of my egg and bacon roll to a mate who was out at Windy Hill watching the VFL Bombers. Said the rolls are the best in the VFL. He saw the picture and said they should call it the Grouseburger. I told the ladies on the BBQ and they were rapt and said they want to copyright it!

How much of a premonition was this post before the game???

You beauty Scorps! At work in Brunswick now but the result negates the work crap.

Have to leave you in the hands of KC. Work issue cropped up. Spewin.

Newton crushed under a pack and got up very gingerly. Then he got his breath back and went on to lay 2 tackles. Still 52-44 in see saw game.

Quick start to Coburg with early goal 3rd qtr. 52-44.

White took nice 2 grab mark on the wing and turned inboard for a lovely long pass to switch the play just before half time siren.

Back to AFLform.

Harmes running towards goal either has overdose of team orientation, or brain fart and kicks low to goal square contest rather than through the sticks. Turnover.

Dawes moving ok but attempted mark went through his fingers.

Couple of points to us. Two rushed and one Russian. 51-37.

Spencer strong mark at FF. 35m kick slight angle straight over goal umpire's hat.

Coburg on a bit of a roll. 42-37 now.

Max King! Great strength to snap a goal when being tackled.

Goodwin here plus Aidan, Maxy, Jack G, Bernie, Jimmy, Cap'n Nate, Viv. Good to see.

36-18 qtr time. Perfect conditions, beautiful ground, small crowd. Egg and bacon rolls sensational.
