Red and Bluebeard

Depends on how straight his natural arc is ...

I see your point, but I was thinking more of the demented ape-[censored] crazy desperate fiend ... bringing a bit of hellfire and brimstone would be a welcome change!

You're not suggesting he has gone looking for it, are you?

Probably do well at clearances, and great at shepherding, but will struggle on the lead and not strong overhead. A real bugger to shift from the bottom of the pack, though ...

Personal experience, jazza? :-)

Something in me tells me that a sash is not a good look right now ... perhaps just playing like demons would be best.

True, OD. But one of the constant frustrations of being a Dees supporter is seeing the difference between the best and the worst of the current list. Some will struggle to make it at AFL level, but if they all put in to the best of their ability each week, whatever that is, then .... well, that would be different ...

A bit more red-blooded spirit would be a lot better ...

Are you saying she prefers roast alpaca to roast chicken?

True enough. I guess we can dream for the first 10 minutes or so ...

Agreed OD. No reason to wear it again, as far as I can see. Let that jumper be forgotten along with the game ...

Only one of them would be any good in the wet, and that one can't kick ...

Assuming the game is worth watching, it depends on what you want to see most. Yesterday I went with a group of people and we went in Gate 5. As it was raining when we got there, we couldn't find seats under cover on the ground level, so we went up to level 2A (just in front of all the corporate superboxes). This gave quite a good view of the ground, although it was a little exposed when it started raining later. Unfortunately we got to see Geelong's second quarter rampage up close ... Otherwise, ground level in the Northern stand is one spot I like, as you can hear the players calling to each other when the play is nearby, or the top level for a 'coaches' view of the game (and plenty of room to move around and choose a particular spot).

Nice story, BBO. Much better than the rubbish I sat through at the MCG ...

Sounds good. A late Saturday afternoon game is not bad ... I will be there.

I believe us city slickers are paying less for milk then we did 10 years ago too, so I am not sure that the simplistic conclusions in the article are valid (knock me down for lack of surprise ).

I see the Murdoch press is taking its news from old discussions in this thread again ... Why is food so expensive in Australia?

To each his own, but I generally prefer my food not to be spread all over me ...

Do they record who wins the chundering competition that takes place shortly afterwards?

Is that a bit like having one parent supporting Melbourne and the other supporting a certain black-and-white team? Or is that too unthinkable?

Cold spaghetti? Is that one of the Wiggles in retirement or something?

This buzzard will have a few kids (well, teenagers) in tow at the MCG this week, including a visitor from Dili. Details are a bit unclear as yet (as tickets for them have been arranged by someone else), but I will be there.

Is a cold buzzard like cold turkey?
