Has Kane come out with an opinion piece here yet?

Looks likely that 2 teals loose their seats in Vic. In even better news serial retard Bandt looks Gonski too.

I've been back on the weight loss kick for about 5/6 weeks now.

Getting some results.

Reduced Alcohol intake. I don't like it much, but my weight gain over the past 5 years, has been more about what I drink, than what I eat. I have switched to low cal beers. Can't hurt.

Portion control. Mrs C is on board too. Think it took her a few weeks to start cooking less.

Increased exercise. Gym sessions up from 1 time a week to 3 times. Heading back to Park run this Sat (now that old farts cricket is done) will walk/jog the 5 ks, then head to gym.

Down 4.5 kg's in that time.

The aim is to get back under 100KG. Just 9 more "KG Cunningham's" to go. Looking forward to fitting into some shirts that I have not worn in a few years time..... The buttons were under more pressure than Ken Hinkley!

Update - after 8 weeks.

Tale of the Scale

Week 0 = 113.3KG
Week 1 = 111.8KG
Week 2 = 111.5KG
Week 3 = 110.3KG
Week 4 = 110.4KG - Weird how I lost nothing in this week.
Week 5 = 109.9KG
Week 6 = 108.7KG
Week 7 = 108.0KG
Week 8 = 107.9KG - Old Boys Cricket Trip in here, way to many beers
Week 9 = 106.8KG

So 6.5KG's gone, with about the same amount to go to get back under the ton!

Further progress update:-

Week 10 = 105.8KG
Week 11 = 105.5KG
Week 12 = 105.5KG
Week 13 = 104.9KG
Week 14 = 104.5KG
Week 15 = 104.3KG
Week 16 = 103.9KG
Week 17 = 103.5KG

It’s getting harder, and my losses are smaller. That said, happy I’ve stuck with it. As good as 10KG off, which was goal #1.

5 weeks til I’m on a plane to Bali. Hope my weight begins with a 9 by then!

Get your tickets now!

We can crash in the spare room or on the deck next to the Webber?

Sure…. For a reasonable price!

A real concern for Jeremy McGovern, with West Coast nominating him for consultation with an AFL concussion panel and admitting retirement is a possibility.

The star defender remains in the concussion protocols after his latest knock in Round 8 and has struggled to recover.

"We are awaiting a date for the panel to convene and assess Jeremy and there are a range of outcomes that could result from their report.

"These may include personalised treatment or rehab plans, an extension of the return-to-play timeframe, recommendations for further tests or specialist referrals, or retirement on medical grounds."

Sammy Edmund on X.

Are you time travelling now too? This post is from the future?

Can’t help but think Booney is the Norm of the Footy Forum.

Nope. Pies home game, got offered tickets. Home, warm, bottle of red.

See you over there LM!

Jack riewoldt with a cornes style hot take. Doesn't suit his style, which he's probably still trying to figure out and certainly doesn't fit in with the style of On the Couch
I find Jack a little hard to take. Not sure why, to be honest. His TV delivery style is not appealing to me. I liked him as a player, not so much as a presenter.

Snuck in a Bintang yesterday arvo. Climatization project under way.

All the training comes together at Beer and BBQ tomorrow night.

I'm thinking ribs, dark ales and maybe an Old Fashioned to round out the frothy, frosty night.

I'm cranking the smoker on Sunday for a surprise birthday for my estranged son.

2 briskets, 5 sets of shorties, 1.5 kg of pork belly diced into burnt ends in a plum rub and a smoked pineapple.

I have a 2.5kg boneless lamb that I might weberise or watch spin around on a spit while I'm at it, or grab a couple of lamb shoulders to smoke too.

I'll start on the Peroni's then move on to a bottle of Aviation Gin that I have then move on to a nice drop of cab sav to see me out.

He's 27 but I'll get a number 3 candle for his cake given that it's the 3rd birthday he's had since we've caught up.

8th of July 2022 the hole in my heart was filled.

Glad to hear he's no longer estranged, mate.

Must be something in the air, I'm planning a lamb in the weber/cab sav or merlot night on Sunday .

Is it Friday yet?

Done, top is off the first beer of the break!

Hawks about as flakey as the Qantas wifi at 30,000 feet just the other side of Alice Springs. Time for another red thanks young lady…

Last week in our resort in Legian.... one bloke in particular who had been getting around all week in his Carlton gear, hat, shorts etc.

After the game on Saturday where North Melbourne beat them, was spotted later that day in a new Tassie Devils guernsey.

He had jumped ship!
