SA Footy

Eldest handles the ball really well, kicks a lazy 4 & gives a few off in her return. The little one struggles in the first half to only get a handball against girls much bigger than she is but after some encouragement from their coach & dad at half time, comes out in the third quarter & joins that elite club of kicking a goal with your first kick in football.
To say the old man was a tad proud is an understatement.

Mate, if I'd known you were there I would have avoided you.

Pauline...you're much kinder than me, I go with racist old mole. Sky? [emoji38] Might as well vote Trump.

Podcast, I don't actually go out of my way to listen to Newman's geriatric dribble so as far as I'm concerned he's gone.

Great stuff mate.

I wandered around and watched CLG give Rosewater a touch up, but just standing on the sidelines with a can was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in what turned out to be a nice sunny day. I reckon I'll see more grass roots footy this year.

Not sure that I would've done it this way but a vast improvement to say the least.

That was my take on it, you'd think that the servo's and Kiplings will suffer a bit of lost revenue as those travelling from Broughton, Kadina etc. are less likely to stop.

As a kid it was pretty much an unwritten bylaw that we stopped at Wakefield either coming from or going to the YP.
