Increasingly likely that this game finishes today. Amazing performance.

I watched some of Shanghai SIPG vs Western Sydney in the ACL last night.

Judging by the Indian reaction it would seem the wicket of Mitch Marsh is greatly sought after.

UK's got it in one .

We effectively have 2 senior spots available, as Howard is still on the LTI list.

Eddy and Houston firming for these spots without a doubt, based on their performances in the JLT. Particularly Houston, who has suprised me.

Yep, if you want to know what is happening down at Alberton you need look no further than this guy.

Come on Dutchy, you should know by now that questioning anything at Alberton is considered trolling.

I thought your statement has some merit and is a good discussion point.

Which shoulder is it?

Corona Man wrote:Happy Birthday wishes in order today for Spargo... hope you're having a cracker mate!

Yes well done Spargo. I'm sure the missus is spoiling you with beer and affection today.

Corona Man wrote:Hoping PatawalongaPirate can find his way back to his hotel room from the G tonight, hate for him to stumble into the Yarra!

I appreciate your concern and I can confirm that I am indeed safe...and a little jovial.

Yep, he was compelling viewing. Had some very memorable spells that made even the best stroke players jump and duck for cover.

Ok so I'm after so advice/Help in finding a wedding venue. Been engaged for 5 years now and the Mrs is now putting it on me hard to get married in Feb 2018, Today we had walk throughs at Bird in Hand Winery, Marybank winery, Mount Lofty House, Glen Ewin estate and Utopia at water fall gully. Having a look at the Grange and Glenelg golf courses next week. Any help would be great were looking around the 120-140 guests.

Geez its going to cost plenty, With this being said The Grange golf course seems the cheapest but looks really nice. At this stage looks like no change out of about $30,000. Grange looks closer to $20,000 than $30,000 the rest are basically with $1,500 of each other all close to the $30k mark.

Ideally we'd like a venue to be a 'One stop shop type of thing' Ceremony, Photos and reception all at the one venue.

The boys have planned my bucks show (Well its basically a weekend yep we get on a 42 seater bus Friday and get home Sunday) The wedding should still be on after that........ I like were doing a race meeting some where! I think.

All your help/suggestions will be appreciated.

St Francis Winery at Old Reynella it is!

Now, Does anyone know of an Adelaide based cover band for hire? I would love a band (Pending the price of course) I cant imagine it would be all that dear? considering DJ costs anyway and I don't want a DJ so a band is my preferred option.

Thanks Guys all advice will be appreciated

A Party With Kate.

The writing has been on the wall...I saw Nigel Smart eat a spring roll a few weeks back.

My understanding is they tried to make fox sports pay a shitload so nobody had the rights. I remember there being a steaming option somewhere I think

Is this the option you are talking about?

Not to be outdone, the Adelaide Crows have announced a sponsorship deal with the re-developers of the Buffalo at Wrigley Reserve.

Every day I bring in a small tub of fruit to have at my work because i'm really busy and don't have time to go out for lunch, and some prick keeps on stealing it!

Unfair advantage

Might have been a good option to take him out on the boat with you.

Approaching time on in the third quarter and the Swans only have 2 inside 50's for the term.

Spargo wrote:Phark I'm pissed $\:D/$

Is Mrs Spargo safe?

I work a lot of Sundays so I rate having tomorrow off work.

I am looking forward to my NHL and AFL teams being on display...and I'm also looking forward to Sunday beers.

Bit of shared history wubbsy. During the 1880's the Cats and the South were the best two teams in 'the colony' and dominated football during this era. A bit rusty on the reading but I believe there was a huge match played in Geelong between the two sides to settle once and for all who was king after several years of pretty much shared domination.

According to Wiki -

Geelong v South Melbourne played on 4 September 1886 is, arguably, the most important Aussie Rules game to be played in the 19th century. Although regular final games had not yet been instituted, the VFA arranged this game so as to determine the Premiers for 1886; both teams had gone through the season undefeated.

The game was held at South's Emerald Hill ground and a then-record crowd of 34,121 paid 6d per head for a total revenue of ₤747 It was said that many more crowded into the ground without paying.

Two special trains brought the local team and two thousand supporters from Geelong. An attempt was made to wreck one of these trains by removing a section of rail, near Newport – luckily the attempt was aborted. There were long lines of people and overcrowded Hansom cabs taking people from Melbourne to South Melbourne, prior to the game. After the game, thousands of people lined Clarendon Street, South Melbourne, to cheer the victorious Geelong on their way.

Geelong 4.19 defeated South Melbourne 1.5. At half-time Geelong were leading 1.12 to 0.3.

Geelong captain Dave Hickinbotham was one of the best players on the ground, even though he was up against Alf Bushby, reputed to be one of the finest players in Australia, and imported by South Melbourne from South Adelaide just for this game. Other outstanding players were: Geelong – A. Boyd, Sam Boyd, J .J. Julien, Kearney, Kerley, Mc Lean and Phil McShane;[l] South – Docherty, "Sonny" Elms, Greaves, Harper, Hill, M. Minchin and H. Smith.

Badmotorfinger is a mainstay of my car rotation and gets a run about once a month. It was just the other day that I was schooling a "youngster" as they hadn't heard of Soundgarden - Fell on Black Days was playing and they commented that it was a cool song.

RIP.

Getting closer to our much anticipated return trip to Thailand. The itinerary this trip includes a week on Koh Samui, this will be the chill out time. Then a week in Hua Hin, this will be the golfing time. A few days in Bangkok, this will be Mrs Coronas shopping time. Then home the long way via Hong Kong. Our first trip there so keen to take it all in. Thanks to one SA Footy Forum member who helped set it all up. Hoping he can also arrange the bin put out/retrieval bloke for us while we are away!

I don't have him booked in again until August so he should be available.

And has 20 touches up until half Time. The rules preventing him from playing league footy is a farce.

Afl reserves teams in the Sanfl League competition is the farce.

Booney wrote:Does Jenkins come straight back in, or does he drive to Prospect this weekend?

No.... his driver will take him there, given the coin he is on.

In your younger days you would have gone by Master Bates.

ESPN 30 for 30 just starting - Reggie Miller v The Knicks.

Don't do it!

I think it's a bit late now Amber.

Sri Lanka with an epic run chase to defeat India. They reached the target of 332 with 8 balls to spare.

Kohli with a blistering 0 from 5 deliveries.

All 4 teams are on 1 win and 1 loss meaning the last round of matches are effectively knock-out quarter finals.

India vs Sth Africa

Pakistan v Sri lanka

The Mighty Pittsburgh Penguins winning Back to Back Stanley Cups.

I'd rather pay $6+ beers at the SANFL ( $7.50 WED PINTS yesterday at prospect ) v $6+ 375 ml cans/bottles at the SFL post game this year at the matches I've been to.

Beer price more than matches the increase in standard and enjoyment (includes my visit to Norwood Oval in May)

Better footy and atmosphere IMO at the SANFL. This after I've paid for my season membership to Glenelg games that I can't all attend.

However $5 beers at the GSFL.....

Get yourself into the RSL when at Prospect. $5.00 cans of WED and HSD. I was more enamoured by the $6.50 Dark Ales though :drinkers:

My Friday Forecast :

- Montagna to get jeered at every kick in from a behind
- Goldstein to have a big influence
- Riewoldt to return in a match winning way
- Crowd 38,629

*Saints haven't beaten North since 2011

Devastating spell of bowling from Amir.

Unfavourable timeslot.

Hardly a dog act. It wasn't even the umpire he sucked in - it was the opposition player (who should know better). The umpire had no option but to award the 50m penalty.

Happy Birthday to Magellan.

You have already surpassed the Portugese explorer of the same name by 3 years...Hooray!

I agree.

It would be like dropping me at the MCG to watch Carlton v Hawthorn and asking me to barrack for one of them.

Canned beer stays fresher for two main reasons: cans hold a much more reliable seal than bottles, and are impenetrable by light. Bottle caps can be jostled around and loosened during transport or sealed too loosely during processing, gradually losing their freshness (and carbonation). Not the case with cans; those things are sealed for life.

Clear bottles are the worst as they are a marketing ploy only.

These days you would be penalised for a third man up.

My Friday Forecast :

- Eddie to put in his claim for Goal of the Year
- Paddy to be booed relentlessly...even after he kicks his 5th.
- Razor Ray to cop the wrath of fans
- Cats by 12pts
- Attendance 51,234
