I rate South Adelaide for giving my daughter the following to take with her on a week long volunteer trip to remote Kintore (530kms West of Alice Springs). She's going with the red dust organisation that were shown on the Front Bar in May. They encourage Indigenous youth to learn more about health and make healthy lifestyle choices through the mentoring and influence of positive role models in sport, art, music and dance.

I also rate my daughter for volunteering for such a great cause, should be an amazing experience for her too!

Picked up the gear this morning from North and was overwhelmed! They told me they couldn't provide much on short notice but still managed 6 full size footys, 5 pairs of shorts, 5 guernseys, 3 jackets, 17 singlets and 2 polos!
Footy clubs can be amazing places, really moved.

Eternal C grader mate, don't forget it.

It does give A young kid in IT a job though! ;)

EFA ;)
Come on! You'd need a Project Manager, a Business Analyst, a Systems Analyst, a Programmer, Hardware Engineers, a Test Analyst, independent testers, an Automation Enginer and a host of support including 3 levels of help desks! Throw in HR support/management and you're looking at least 30 jobs.
Much more efficient than 2 kids on the counter. ;)

The photos my daughter is sending me back from Kintore in the NT of her volunteering trip with red dust. The people and kids especially look so happy despite having so little. Very moving stuff, just wish my old man who was one of the stolen generation was still around to witness what she's doing, he would have burst with happiness and pride.

Of the gear she took the footys have gone down an absolute treat. They're over the moon to have real footys to kick around. So proud of my girl!

It's inspired me to look at making a visit to East Arnham/Boraloola to visit the area/people of my father's tribe and take his ashes there.

Is that you Cameron Mooney?

Absolute legend, to score a century in both innings after what he's been through is one of the greatest sporting achievements I've ever seen.
He must be such a mentally strong character.

Going to the Gaslight on Saturday night to check out "Spoonfed", Grinspoon cover band.

Mate plays drums for Spoonfed. Great bloke. Used to go by the login tazz here.

Good Norwood lad ;)
Tazz is a great guy and a good drummer. Seen him inaction a few times. He also sought me out after the GF last year. Quality lad.

Best half of AFL footy I've seen for a while!

Port running into some good form leading into September.

No review now Paine, **** me.

whufc wrote:Spurs not even applying the pressure this year!

Too true. Based on the last 15 EPL games we'd be bottom 3. Bring back Wembley!

This really is like a poor trial game between two teams that don't care.
Chalk and cheese compared to the Elim.
I almost feel sorry for the poor morons that are still there.

It's still disturbing that the Power Reserves wear the guernseys of the club they killed off. Completely disrespectful.

Are you talking about the version where they use roosters?

I saw them kill a few Norwood supporters hearts last year.

I doubt Tones and I would be as good as Tony! Toni! Toné!.

I reckon it all started when Ken Eustice took over.
It just took a while to come to fruition.

Nothing matters now. Had $50 on Riewoldt to kick the first goal.

$450 coming my way. No work tomorrow. Going to be some good posts tonight!

Non controlling umpire 50 metres away gives Reiwoldt a bullshit goal.

Regards,

REB Best goal ever, I had $47 on Riewoldt to kick the first goal at $9. No work tomorrow and I'm at the pub.
There's going to be some good posts tonight from me! :lol:
Where is this magic TAB

Just the standard Utab mate but online as money back if they kick a goal in the first half if you miss out.

Would Glenelg be better off with a close loss with no injuries and a win next week so as to avoid another 13 days off?
Probably the age old question of minor premiers under the final 5 but the last time a minor premier won the 2nd semi and then the GF was 6 years ago!
Mind you those figures are a bit skewed because of 3 traditional Eagles chokes.
Didn't seem to bother us too much
Sorry mate, I can't remember that far back.

Agreed, I reckon the Bays will win next week and as I alluded to before today might not be a bad result for them.

You misspelt uninformed.

Im with MW, there's no reason Adelaide United would get beaten by Manchester City. Salary is irrelevent.

There's obviously not an IQ test to become a Crows or West supporter.

Something like this really does put things in perspective, even the rest of the footy finals seems irrelevent to me atm.

Can't possibly see how Bounce could ever happen again, Spud really was the cornerstone of the show. Even before we got Foxtel we used to make sure we were at the pub on a Sunday arvo and would get the pub to turn up the volume to one of our favourite shows of the week. Even people that didn't normally watch it would turn around and have a laugh mainly thanks to Spud.

Will be very sad over Spud's passing for quite a while.

Good to have you back CM.

Wow, that was the gutsiest performance I've seen from any team for a long time.
So proud.

LWLWLWLWLWL
Losing qualifying from top 4
Won past 4 v West Coast at home.
REB Shitbags team

Just waiting for a Wedgie doom & gloom forecast (before the first bounce) & the wifes super is on
Haven't had a chance to think about it as for the first time in years I worked Mon - Fri and had a 11 hour day today who was insane.
Just catching up on Facebook and Safooty and to be truthful I can't get into tonight's game, I'm still devestated about Danny Frawley passing, the footy seems irrelevant. :(

Thinking briefly about it I think the Cats will get up but does it really matter as it's most likely Richmond will kill whoever they play next week.

Wow, they just had a minutes silence in the Rugby League for Spud!

Sad news, one of my favourite bands of all time, they had such a unique sound.

Congratulation to Rory and Bel Sloane on the birth of their baby Sonny Leo. Awesome news.

Well, it seems the SANFL has over turned it's original decision and when it seemed the Port Adelaide Cheer Leaders wouldn't be allowed to perform they have been granted permission to perform on the day. Tradition is alive and well at Alberton.

Ill only accept its the Magpies playing if there is a Black and Gold coffin being transported around the stadium.

Or there's some d!ckhead with a mullet wearing a Trigger Tregenza t-shirt, that's two sizes too small....
Not this year!
It would be about 8 sizes too small now! :lol:

Sweet Geezus, my heart can't handle this. I'm used to being 10 goals down at half time of Prelims .
If I don't last the night it's been nice knowing you all, I love you all.

The fact my phone doesn't have a breathalyzer on it. Apparently I booked tickets to the NRL prelim and GF last night!

You beauty, love GWS, hopefully they can perform another miracle next week.
Hard to see it happening but fingers crossed!

Good luck to both sides.
If the Bays win I hope their supporters get the same feeling of elation we had when North won the league last year.
If the Power win I hope their supporters get the same feeling of elation we had when North won the reserves last year.

I'll be watching the first half in between serving people drinks, might catch the 2nd half while being on the other side of the bar.

A reverse 1989 is a 1905.

Grenville wrote:Virgin hasn't done a huge amount but what he's done has been tough finals footy.

Top lad, would be stoked if he wins a flag.

Looks like it could be a Tiger triple with Weribee already winning. The old TigerBoss will be having kittens!

Well done Bays, I'm stoked for a lot of good friends who have been waiting a long time, I know what it's like!

I know i jumped back on board the bays this year after taking a year or two of really caring about the bays. Poor club decision and my growing lack of interest in the sanfl were the reasons why. I ain’t pretending I am a die hard. But growing up going to see the bays play at footy park was a real treat. I knew all the players and Followed them religiously.
But I was four when we won our last flag. This is special cause of my Nanna. She wouldnt let us in her house if we didn’t follow the bays. She was one of those ladies at the bay oval who sat on the fence. She may struggle now to even grasp what is going on today, and today is special because of her.
That's the difference. I can't
imagine too many port supporters would be "devastated" by the loss.
They'd be about as devestated as the Eagles fans who's reserves lost today too

Yeah right .. Hope everyone’s ol phyaically and mentally mate
Cheers mate, yeah I had the same concerns and have messaged the lad who was involved and he was appreciative that I was there for him.

Probably just as well I wasn't there, I could have ended up with a bullet between the eyes the way I handle things.

ABC iView.

How Australia Got It's Mojo.

Russell Howcroft from Gruen spends an hour looking at an ad agency that created the TV sound track of the 70s and 80s. Great memories.

Check it out.
Cheers for that, watched it today and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I thought Delvene had aged horribly but she is almost 70!

Never heard of the guy but had never heard of Mark Stone before either and look how that turned out!

He's 27, that's way too young for Geelong to be interested. Give him a few more years of development first.

I do like the numbers of his prohibited substances though.
19-Norandrosterone and 19-Noretiocholanolone.

PS I remember the days when Norwood were a respected club, bottom of the pile these days.

Does anyone else have a dog that insists on always sitting/laying on the remote control?
Good thing is I can always find it as its usually under his arse.
