Fork 'em

Continuing my story from above. My old man was [censored] off when I shot through. "There's no jobs up there, yadda, yadda, yadda." "You want your whole life to be a holiday.", to which I thought .... "What's wrong with that." I was at the stage of contemplating going back to Melbourne there for abit. I knocked off work. Went to the pub, got a couple of Beam cans and was on the Murray river with a fishing rod in the water watching the cockies fly by within' 10 mins. There was no way I could do that in Melbourne and made my decision there and then to stay. Never looked back from that moment. 10years later the old man comes to visit. I loaded him in the car, launched the boat 200m from my house and took him for a burn up the river. He looked around and declared, "Geez, ya got it made." One of my proudest moments TBH. Not everything is about money man. Though I was doing ok in that dept as well.

What if they can earn bigger money closer to home? Or away from the rat race of Melbourne.

I dunno. I moved away from home when I was 18. Spent a few years home sick at different points till my visits back to Melbourne to see family and friends got less and less. Now I can't stand the joint. Reckon getting homesick as a young fella is pretty natural. It passes for some, but for others it's stronger. And I was raised by my old man from the age of 5 😁

Any chance of a link?

As a fisherman who mostly uses lures this is 100% correct 😂

Well we know one thing. The Melk will give it all he's got. Stood up during multiple big moments during the year and one of our best kicks for goal. Not much competition on that front I know.

It was sheet cause we weren't in it. And had we been there the game would've been an ugly maul. Cause that's how we roll.

My sister declared today it feels like it didn't even happen.

We we're robbed big time. Would've loved to have celebrated with our players and supporters both after the game and the next day. Instead we celebrated by phone. Well I did.

Nah, Look at him across the desk and say "Fork the Pies" Then get back to work.

Yeah, something happened there. Disrespected Grundy bigtime. Good luck trying to bring the next free agent to the club if that's how we're gonna treat 'em.

Got a few nice reddies. Yummo 😋

I went fishin' 😉 Still sucks hearing the result when I got home.

We'd be 1 goal 5pts by now.

100%. So .... Disappointing. Arrggg!

The only way I see Brisbane losing is if they do a Melbourne and sheet the bed on the big stage at the "G".

It started during the year. The good sides know how to diminish his impact. The Lions will sit someone on him for sure. Can't let a bloke like that wander around the ground doing what he wants.

Field kicking as well. Same goes for Oliver. They're both get ball, boot ball. I realise that seems to be the game plan but a little more precision would be great.

Or if Clarry and Viney weren't taking votes off him.

Sounds like the American voting system.

Allowing gambling into the game was the beginning of the end.

I'm off again. Bruce is about to fight.

It has. Like 2 levels.

And FWIW. Reckon the girls should have a spot on the main board instead of getting shuffled off to the back board.

Clean quick hands through traffic and fast ball movement. I've been impressed. Skills and confidence have jumped with last years flag. Stay fit and they'll romp in another one I reckon. Should swap their coaching dept with the mens. Love the way they play.
