Red and Bluebeard

The last 10 minutes of the last quarter felt a little like the corresponding time in the 2021 GF. How many times have we scored 50 or more points in a quarter?

I was suprised to hear it was the 2nd highest ever home-and-away crowd for the two clubs.

Agreed. An idea my son and daughter were discussing on the way to the game today was to have all "derbies" in Round 1, ie West Coast & Freo, Adelaide & Port, Swans & GWS and Brisbane & Gold Coast. That way nobody travels interstate, and all crowds (more or less) get a chance to see their team locally in Round 1.

Is it just me or were there far fewer "secondary" stoppages at centre "bounces" (ie there is a stacks on the mill and another throw-up rather than one side getting a clearance)? Does this mean we need to get better at defending clearances?

Perhaps the new rules suit him? He certainly seemed to have quite a leap.

Singing bread? Now that is something I haven't seen before ... 😄

Now that is showing your age, HT!

You are even more of one of my peeps then Ghosty! Personally, I am a little torn between the Hallelujah chorus, your favourite Dies Irae (Mozart, Verdi or Britten) or perhaps Beethoven's Fifth. But there may be a case for Highway to Hell, or Bat out of Hell too ... 😄

Correct analysis, but I think this contradicts the "No B$" part of the title ... (from someone whose Dee's-loving daughter inevitably raises the finger when passing that black-and-white joint near the Swan Street bridge).

I get that it is probably an upgrade on our current arrangements. But I can't help feeling it is a compromise which will only muddy the waters. If it ain't good enough for the Hawks, it ain't good enough for us, even temporarily.

Clearly a new philosophical conundrum will be "How Many Bananas Cross the Rice Paddy In Nar Nar Goon?"! And of course, where will the banana plantation be in our new home at Caulfield? 😀

The problem as I see it is that even if Caulfield is locked in, why move to Waverley temporarily? That seems only to disadvantage us by moving twice and keeping the filth happy ... In other words, we should hang onto Gosch's until we are ready to move to Caulfield, and not a moment sooner!

I think the tunnel issue is surely solvable, although I am no expert. Surely there is a way to get it done without closing the track for anything like one year! Negotiation via media in play perhaps? :-) It does seem a bit laughable (to this [censored] anyway) that the racing people can be precious about players walking on a track that horses race on ...

Are you saying you won't need funeral insurance for another 57 years Bub? :-)

Is it too much to hope for that it is not a Lamb shank? 😁
