The cricket is back tonight :partyman:

Hooray! I have an interesting situation tonight where the brother in law and his missus are coming over for dinner. My missus and his missus reckon The Batchelor is going to be on the big screen. I have told my missus that the only way they will be watching Batchelor is if he is the new number 3 for England.

Interesting times ahead.

Did you apologise to Mrs Spargo?

The office was feeling a little stale until about 20 minutes ago when I put on Weezer - Maladroit. Take that work colleague who insists on 102.3 being on.

Argh! This sums up how misguided the whole sad affair has now become.

I can hear arms being stretched and fingers being cracked in readiness for the onslaught that will be this blog.

They are taking over the current Virgin route to Bali early next year.

There is only one way we will get the information we need.......

To Cibo on the Parade post haste!

Tumbleweed playing Fowlers on the 19th of September. Have re released Galactaphonic as Super Galactaphonic which includes multiple bonus tracks from the past.

Looking forward to my ears ringing for a week

Despite my previous post, there is a certain smell factor to this.
I wonder if North fans would be defending this so vigorously if it wasn't their club.
I think we have become used to players being rested, but resting virtually half a side is not what most of us would expect.
However, if it was my side, I'd probably blindly defend it as well.

This is true, very true.

@LM, I'm not calling it tanking, not once did I call it that, I'm just amazed the AFL have gone against the very wording of their rule to prevent this happening.

Put it this way HH3, next week, would you rather play Richmond at the G or Adelaide in Adelaide?
Obviously Richmond in Melbourne but the latter was relying on us winning by 100+ or the Bulldogs losing.
Either option HIGHLY unlikely to happen.

And don't the crows have to win their game as well? At a place they haven't tasted success at for over a decade.

Cant say they dont deserve to be there, but they are clearly the worst team in the eight imo.

If anyone is interested in Patriots gear they are offering complimentary partial deflation on all footballs.

Congrats benny. Did you consider naming him Neil?

Pretty sure we also get a chance to bowl in this game so therefore still a chance to win. Richardson is in great form and the other bowlers have also been doing their bit.

Maybe you would appreciate a new time clock?

YES !!!

The only club in the competition to not have a permanent digital time clock...

We really are thrashing out the big issues in footy.

The double up game crystal balling can be folly. I'm sure there were supporters at the end of last year doing star jumps when they were "gifted" double up games against the Bulldogs in 2015.

Every year there is at least 2 changes to the top 8 with there being 3 changes this season. There is always a team or 2 that people don't expect to do well that have good/great seasons.

that would also explain why they are playing essendon and north at etihad - one presumes that once the upgrades are finished they wont have to
Essendon, Collingwood & Carlton wouldn't have played at Kardinia Pk since the 80's.

Essendon's last game at Kardinia Park was Round 21, 1993.
Carlton's last game at Kardinia Park was Round 20, 1997. (then known as Shell Stadium)
Collingwood's last game at Kardinia Park was Round 15, 1999. (also Shell Stadium)

The residents don't allow Rugless Tce to be moonlit anymore.

The dogs will be hoping it turns out better than when the Stringer brothers returned to the Bay.

Peter Senior.

They look to be biting today Feenix.

Summer really doesn't begin until the Summer Solstice around the 21st/22nd December.

On the day of Summer Solstice, the Earth’s south pole is tilted towards the Sun. The Sun rises south of east, sets south of west and reaches 75 1/2° above the horizon at noon. This is, usually, the longest day of the year.

I was chatting to my mate Jacaranda corner the other day, and he told me his favourite movie is Pretty Woman. He loves the transition of Julia Roberts from horticulture.

He got shot down, he looked like a fool and used a shitty pick up line on national TV to no avail.

Mel - 1
Gayle - 0

Unfortunately to be expected from a guy that supposedly has a strip club inside his mansion.

While his countrymen chase down 3/600 every second week. Sure, he's made a lifestyle choice, good for him, but any cricketer worth a pinch of shit plays Test match cricket for their country first and foremost, especially during tough times.

Unfortunately these blokes represent 15 countries when playing Test cricket which breeds confrontation and contempt. A lot of these countries do not like each other. I was in Kingston for the second test in 1999 and Brian Lara was roundly booed when he walked out to bat because he is from Trinidad & Tobago.

The locals did lighten up a bit when he passed 100.....

Pull in roughly $2.5k (most likely lose $50)

Most likely. You would be better served putting your hard earned towards a slab and watching Pittsburgh in the Superbowl.

Anyone else of the understanding that you had to complete your action before being able to mankad someone? ie - roll the arm over and then you could have them.
The rule has changed, you have to be anywhere in your delivery stride.

I think it was changed to stop bowlers trying to trick the batsman. Having said that, the bowler is well within his rights to stop mid action if the batsman is creeping.

I don't have a problem with the law. It is pretty simple. Don't leave your crease at the non strikers end until the ball has left the bowlers hand.

Siddle stress fractures in his back. I can't help but question the theories that have been implemented by the sports science fraternity. Despite the analysing of techniques & workload etc the problem seems to be worsening

A lot more cricket is being played on harder pitches these days and the end result is crippling injuries to those who hit the wicket hard.

Just the one because they're the rules.

Glenelg 8 goals up.

Yep. Why would you wear white if it's not one of your colours?

White "clash" jumpers are ordinary at best.

Some of my favourite snacks are now ruined.

What a load of shit.

Unfortunately I am sitting at work now - first day back :(
If you have the time pirate, it would be great if you could put together a few paragraphs about your trip. Highlights even lowlights, traps for young players etc... Food prices, beers sampled, all that stuff!

Apologies for the delay Corona Man, but I had to shoot off to Europe when I got back for work.

Koh Samui was great fun. The people were very friendly - stock standard for Thailand - and the weather was hot and sunny. A local told me that it hadn't rained for around 2 months. Beer prices still pretty good, I was getting cans of Chang from the mini mart for THB30 which was just over AUD$1 at the time. We rented a car for a couple of days which I can highly recommend. It allowed us the freedom to explore most of the coast line and visit waterfalls, restaurants, and other beaches at our leisure.

Eating wise we had a little gem near our resort called "Phensiri" which served up some of the best local food I've tried in all of Thailand. We also enjoyed our night at "The Rocks" which as the name suggests is perched over a cliff above the ocean. This place is part of the Kanda Residences but you don't have to stay there to enjoy the restaurant.

I found parts of Koh Samui reminded me of being in Phuket, but also at times i was reminded of Krabi. It does however have it's own charm and I can unreservedly recommend it as a relaxing holiday destination.

I have included a pic from our patio for you :

Pittsburgh are Stanley Cup Champions.

Best looking trophy in world sport.

Pretty sure the tram was late last Sunday.

Can the Bays please have 3 million?

Come on now, surely port will put the money back into the community. It's not like they are going to blow it on fireworks or anything.

Screw you Marbles..jpg

At his 386th attempt Greg Chalmers has won on the US PGA Tour. He took out the Barracuda Championship. He also has a 2 year exemption on tour and guaranteed starts in the last two majors this year.

Bays played a good game and were able to add to their percentage!!!

South have been enjoying those pie floaters a little bit too much this winter.

Is Ron Fuller still with the MFS? Could be a chance to return to the Panfers???

Is Gotch in trouble???

Woodwork eh?
