Nice flag tonight Spargo!

I feel your sentiments, it's even worse being your own club doing it.

Whenever I go and watch my kids play I find the most isolated spot and set up camp there, I applaud good efforts from either side and the only time I even say anything is if I'm trying to tell my kid to reposition themselves if they're playing footy or I'll use some sort of sign language if they are batting or bowling for a bit of advice, they generally look over towards me when they're doing either as they know I'll see something from afar they might help them.

Now Im not coaching my kids anymore I do the same, its been very enjoyable.

Speaking of giving me the shits, both boys have moved clubs to teams that both have green in their jumper, never been able to get used to having green in footy :YMSICK:

Bit harsh quitting the family for 3 months just because of Covid!

Im telling you that after 24 hours, this might just happen!

Everyone is picking sides here, to me both acted like dickheads and have to share the blame.

Love it, they have done is superbly, cost us $30 each out of pocket and walked out with 2 bottles of their good stuff

Pure gold, 5 mins of commentary and no cricket discussed!

If Sam had just said "I hope someone impounded his phone" and then moved onto another subject that would have been OK, didn't need to expand on it IMO.

Thats why the review is there, not for marginal LBWs

Glenelg were $21 in 2019...

Not usually an umpire basher, but those 2 deliberates against Port in the last 10 mins were shocking calls, no way were the players trying to kick it out

They have NFI, further proof why the SANFL last possie rule needs to be implemented. Would of yielded the same result granted but atleast it won't infuriate the fans.

Spot on

Matt Hill calling the Richmond/Saints game

Mrs Starc? How about Mr Healy!

Congrats to the Girls, women's cricket continues to break new ground and seems to improve every year, easily my favourite women's sport. While I know they now get paid well, there is still a grassroots feel about the way they compete.

#1 son playing his first game of senior footy tomorrow, always had doubts whether he would continue with footy after his junior days, rapt that he is.

Who is he playing for Dutchy?

Ironbank - has really enjoyed the coaching from Noodles, Johncock, Ladhams etc

Unfortunately I wont get to see his game tomorrow, but will in R2

Channel 7 saying the RMFL have banned the bloke who recorded it from attending games.

That's pretty ******, in my opinion.

Especially considering they likely used that very footage to dole out the suspension to the Meningie bloke.

Not really, it stops unlicensed parasites trying to make money for free off the leagues.

I think you'll find a lot of leagues have something similar in place nowadays.

Very similar to the permits given by the AFL to be able to write anything about the AFL. It's all about protecting the brand.

So are leagues going to ask for the crowds to leave their phones at the gate? :roll:

Easter weekend in Clare, golf on Friday in perfect weather, fairways a bit patchy but greens perfect - great day out away from the wives who hit the wineries. Headed to the Bentley for a few beers and to watch the footy only to find out they (and all 3 pubs in Clare) dont have Foxtel :roll: so ended up punting and drinking and stayed for dinner. Saturday we headed to the Easter Races, for $53 we got a seat and table on their deck overlooking the finish line along with a 2 course lunch which was restuarant quality, considering GA was $35 we thought it was a pretty good deal! Can highly recommend the races, especially if you are a single male under 25 :shock: holy cow! eyes popping out of my head all day. Great crowd, kept an eye out for you at the BSR bar whuffer but didnt see you. Headed into town afterwards and went to the rooftop bar at Seed, great pizza's and gin to finish off the day, getting a cab was problematic with the pubs going nuts!

Sunday we headed to O'Leary Walker for lunch and its easily the best meal Ive had for a couple of years, share platters or Chicken, Barramundi, Roast Pork, Pumpkin Curry, Dumplings and a desert - highly recommended, then went to a couple of wineries and ended up at the Taminga for a drink and walk across their sticky floors from the night before (despite them already been cleaned!)

Great weekend and enjoyed spending some time in a area Ive driven through a lot but I haven't stayed in.

Great to hear you had a good weekend up hear. I didn't realise the Bentleys didn't have Foxtel......they have new owners as of a month ago so maybe its changed. Sadly the pubs aren't the greatest up here. If the pubs up here improved it would make the region a number 1 destination for footy trips etc.

Its definitely the biggest day out for the sheilas in the region. The quality of females in the region is absolutely outstanding and as a general rule most are really good down to earth country chicks as well. :lol: :lol:

Yeah didn't end up doing the bar as the kids decided to come up for the weekend so didn't make it to the races.

O'Learys is bloody amazing, good mates with the chef, he used to work at Sevenhill which won numerous national dining awards under his knife. If you ever get a chance head to the Sevenhill Hotel and dine in their cellar (don't confuse this with the Sevenhill Winery Cellars) most amazing room I have seen in SA.

Yep popped into Sevenhill and Watervale pubs for a look, will be on the to do list next year.

Bentley's did say they just changed ownership, all the staff on Good Friday came up from Salisbury so they could open! When finding out they didnt have Foxtel I suggested they should take down the "See every game live" Fox Footy poster down that was near the TAB area :roll: apparently the new owners got rid of it recently. The Taminga owner is new also and indicated all 3 pubs have new owners.

I was going to ask the BSR crew where Beer Drop was, but wasn't sure if that nickname had made it to Clare or not!

Enjoyable night down at Myponga Sat night and a big win to the home team, seem very well structured and ready to climb the ladder.

Adelaide announce she is leaving at 7.50am, Port announce her signing at 7.55am - quite obviously both clubs agreed upon this strategy with scheduled announcements, all seems quite reasonable to me

Good deal, will grab a few of those.

Had a hit at Blackwood this morning, 56 on the front, including a 3 hole stretch of 9,9,8 thankfully got my shit back together and a sound 45 on the back 9 made me a lot happier than I was.

Cost of living is a 20x much bigger issue that interest rates going up

PS. saw Aiden Grace comments......what a wanker.

His been at the club two minutes and thinks he can tell the fans there not true supporters. Most of those blokes posting did it tough for 30 odd years before our first premiership and they haven't seen a worse side than the current one. Him telling the fans 'you're all not true supporters' is bloody rich.

And now we have Paul Thomas responding to posts as well but not really in a constructive manner. Surely his been in the game long enough to know that when results like this year happen people are going to ask questions or be critical. To be fair the comments aren't even that bad other than 'the team has gone backwards', 'is Thomas the right man', 'Thommo isn't the right man'. I wouldn't call them completely unfair comments given the circumstances.

Yeah thats not a great look, good intentions but they are taking their eye off the ball if they are doing that

Dunno much about it so will wait until he returns to report on it, but it used to be for troubled teens but they have expanded it so schools can nominate kids who they believe will benefit, small group of 10 from his school have gone up.

Not sure where the funding for it comes from, we just had to get him decked out to walk 100kms over the week, they supply the backpack, food, support etc, they even supply a new sleeping bag and he gets to keep it.

What a star Bec Daniher is, amazing support of her Dad and the MND campaign

More than happy to have a slab or more with anyone that thinks JHF will be anywhere other than NM in 2024

How about those mind numbing ads "Libs tell fibs"

Really is a leadership vacuum in all side of politics atm

It needs to be $10k for the remainder of 2022, then another $10k per year that they get contracted for after that.

A once off $10k is nothing if its someone you have brought from interstate to play

Heading along Sunday night

Yeah Im a shorts man at footy training all winter, as long as above the waist is warm Im ok

#1 son had an ordinary game a month ago and got dropped, had some offers to go play elsewhere with some mates but decided to stick it out even though there are 10+ guys missing out every week, the last 3 weeks he has ran water, boundary & goal umpired for the team, today he got back in the team and got 2nd best, very proud of him, just disappointed I couldn't get there to watch.

Mark of Cain 19th August

Mawson Lakes - Mawson Burger - 7.5/10 standard pub burger
Greenock - Lamb Shank - 9/10 highly recommend, rate the Greenock Dark Ale also

She was forced to apologise to JB and the club, which she rarely does - think that has made her hate us even more.

Yep we suck, last year I could see structure, I could see a game plan, I could see effort, this year its clearly lacking and no cohesion which is extremely disappointing. But many rebuilds have these patches - so putting faith that things will improve. Maybe next game? Would be nice as I'm heading to Hobart for it.

As for JHF, its all part of his footy journey, a lot has gone his way in recent years. Confident he will be part of our long term future, no one has been prepared to take my bet yet...

Lady Bay yesterday, got it on a pretty calm day which was nice, greens aren't as good as they have been but still a great spot and challenge.

Playing with a sore ankle, still recovering from gout I started bogey, par, par, par - as usual it feel apart from there 45 on the front then 53 on the back as the wind started and my form waned big time.

Dropped 9 shots on the 4 par 3's :roll: seemed to be able to hit my irons well on the fairways, but horrible off the tee.

Enjoyable day all the same.

What is the difference between that and messenger? I often get people asking me to message then on the App but I don't trust it.

much more secure than messenger but pretty similar

Brilliant night of footy reflection, Michael Taylor was a hero of mine growing up going to Norwood games with Dad, onto Nicky Winmar who was such a natural exciting footballer to watch as a neutral then Boomer Harvey who was just amazing to support over the years. Then the emotional induction of Russell to finish - great night and credit to the organisers.

So headed over to Thaxted this morning, overcast with rain threatening a chilly wind greeted us.

Course itself, not much has changed. The 2nd green now has 2 levels and not the 2 mounds with the channel in between.
Fairly clear under trees etc which is good to help find balls etc.

The golf itself wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. It was just the putting which as always let me down. We got a false sense of security on the practice green being slower than we remembered it, but on the course they were certainly as they've always been.
Finished on about 26pts.
It was a good walk.

its a strange old course Thaxted, over whelming feeling is it could be so much better with a few changes, it falls behind its southern neighbours - Flaggy. Vines & Blackwood by a reasonable margin IMO

The second hole is case in point, really weird short par 4 that misses the mark in design
