Tarax Club

Golden goal from Goldrick.

Free to air 'live' has been murdoched. Casey radio budget appears strictly limited to forays within greater Melbourne. AFL has managed a synthetic bush telegraph.

Followed unfortunately by 0 goals 5 behinds. Effective two goal buffer ahead of Freo though.

5 goals 0 behinds impressive accuracy. Freo continue to pepper the pot. 1 goal 4 behinds.

To succeed in a covid year after 20,819 days in the football wilderness. Simply enhances the shine on premiership cup. Picket from the Jethro Tull Living in the Past double album "Life is a Long Song" resonates for me.

In his better performances for Casey, Tom showed good athleticism and decent mobility for a tall bloke. Judges the flight of the ball OK and can take a mark at the highest point. Not pack busting like a key forward IMM. More like a tall half forward flanker who can win the ball in flight. Forward line would need to be open, with fluidity of movement and ball delivery kicked to advantage. Seemingly the antithesis of current arrangements.

Get the Ai app.

Truly a Grand Old Flag. Denied the filth in dramatic circumstances. Who thought it would be almost a lifetime before the next?

“Cherry blossoms bloom best in springtime.” Fragment of ancient text , by anonymous Japanese poet. Believed by scholars to refer to the impermanent nature of AFL football recruitment and careers. And the unfounded rampant optimism and soon to be turned, capriciousness of football devotees.

Hit a fork on the road to premiership glory.

Admittedly young Oliver hasn’t exactly set the world on fire, but l believe there is something to work with. Re-defining his physique, building his tank, honing his skills and playing senior footy. Where for those who are truly observant have been flashes of brilliance. Roma non uno die aedificata est applies grasshopper, not for whom the bell tolls.

Welcome to ‘Dodge City’!

She left Lauren holding the 'baby'. And exited stage left. May I also make a discreet inquiry about your ironing rates? Not my favourite chore.

Yes agree given that Geelong are participating in finals at AFL AND VFL levels. Current priorities of players would not likely to be beyond the finals horizon. Opportunities may still occur for promotion into the senior side and a change of fortune, from being overlooked to feeling more valued. Obviously a wait and see re-availability. I'm sure there would be multiple suitors in any case. The media driven frenzy, rife with hyperbole and speculation about possible player movement has reached a premature, overheated, fever pitch. Personally I try to avoid the threads 'running hot' on individual players thru multiple pages on these boards etc. The 'lids' will finally come off by Black Friday 13th of October. Question the sustainability of it all. Hope nobody gets burnt.

Brandan Parfitt Darwin boy and a friend of my youngest daughter. Very generous with his congratulatory praise back in ‘21 when we won the flag. My daughter was able reprise that the following season when the Cats took the urn. Looks a solid player worthy of serious consideration. Given our midfield requires some strengthening and experience.

Avatar getting dog eared and worn? This one may suit l’esprit du temps.

Like to add McQueen to that list. Conspicuous by his absence. Did recall a single OD post in recent memory SWYL but the prolific posts of the past no.

Ode to Max Max stands like a Colossus Enduring indifferent fortune With swings long and low Brightened with the rarest of premiership sunshine Glimpses from the snow Midfields come and go Once it was the fearsome four Now its down to the ageing few amongst the emerging brew Give me the Sherrin bounced high I'll win the ruck again Seven All Australians Places you amongst the best to play Australian rules May it continue next season 'til the next window opens Fate surely owes another flag

Just passing the 'fashion is transient and style lingers' microscope over some in the AA team photo. Blazers buttoned up correctly almost universal, except front row second from the left, whose identity fortunately eludes me. Must of been too hot under the photographer's lamp, poor lamb. Shame the state of dishevelment is further multiplied by the open collar. Wardrobe must have run out of ties after Zorko. Although the Sydney crowd almost get away with it. Must be the all seasons lawn bowls fraternity look. Jesse's attempt at a Windsor belies his neat goal kicking skills. Zorko's is slightly askew and the length suggests a Freudian slip off the prêt-à-porter cliff. Plus the tan Blundstones are simply out of place. Pleasingly Max , Jezza and suprisingly Daicos, show how to maintain dress standards. Although Cripps needs to consult a mirror occasionally and the Bont's socks have some insidious advertising visible. Is it his brand? Overall fortunately most are worthy recipients of the blazer because of their football prowess.

Not when supplemented with a Sir Les Patterson. He can wear his AA Blazer to fancy dress party's, soirees, masquerades and mad mondays with aplomb.
