Surely thats photoshopped.

My 1887 Ford Falcon had a Power number plate.

Idiot, the first Ford wasn't built until 1903, 33 years after the Port Adelaide Football Club was founded.

Oh shit you're right.

A good way to remember that is it was 93 years before Port Power was founded.

Cue puzzled face and then asking my missus if we left her son the keys to the car!
It's in a lock up garage but still had me there for a sec!

I’d be happy with that.

I’ll take the $17 mill, you can have the rest!

Unfortunately for her most people only watch and remember her for her Aussie Open performances.

Lucky for Hewitt they don’t hold him to the same Australian Open standards. A losing final once is all that separates his AO results from hers

Old dudes shit canning elite sports people is pretty funny.

This is what I picture.

Hewitt definitely flopped a little in his home slam through the years but he still out did Sam.
Stosur- 7x1R, 4x2R, 4x3R & 2x4R in 17 attempts so far
Hewitt- 7x1R, 4x2R, 2x3R, 6x4R & 1xRU from 20 attempts

My word it did. It exploded on social media. Bloody funny though.

The best trolling one is the 10 year one with the crows and ports trophy cabinet.

generally only the people who watch tennis for 2 weeks of the year that criticise her.

People have unrealistically high expectations of her, mainly based on a good patch she had where we went deep into a few tournaments and won the US Open. People then thought she’d be doing that week in week out. She’s a 20-30 ranked player based on her performances. Making the second week of a tournament is a good result for her. She struggles with the mental side of the game, that’s well documented, but that’s not what stopping her from being a top 10 player.

Was a different scenario with Hewitt, he would dominate the world over, then do very little in his home event. His mental toughness couldn’t be questioned, it’s more our playing surface isn’t his strong point. The more gritty, graft out a result surfaces of Wimbledon and the US Open were more his forte

I'll raise you for LOL's. Port's trophy cabinet post, shared by crows fans.

Sam Groth giving special comments and what Federer should be doing and what he needs change!

Lol, please Sam the blokes won more games than you’ve played in total!

At the end of the day Stosur was a doubles player who tried her hand at singles and ended up doing some great things. En Route to the French Open final she beat 3 top 10 players and then a year later had the tournament of her life and beat the best womens player of all time in the US Open final. Knocked of Serena comfortably as well, Serenas power game suited her playing style imo. Stosur always let herself down with her high un forced error count, that was one of her biggest problem imo

I still think Hewitt should have own more grand slams than he did. Had the perfect timing of being at his best while Sampras and Agassi were winding down and just before Federer started taking the piss. Had it not been for Federer he may have won more Grand Slams, Fed did past him good and proper most of the time they played from 03-07. He did make the Aus Open but ran into a red hot Safin. Boy did Hewitt win some battles on the way to that final.

he took a set off him at Wimbledon though

Did a BBQ for dinner last night around 6.15pm, while steaks were cooking I put the sprinkler on out the back to give the much parched lawn some respite from the heat, BBQ finished and decided to let the sprinkler go a bit longer while we ate, then completely forgot about the sprinkler until I was just about to crawl into bed and noticed the water pressure was low when I was brushing my teeth at 11.30pm then realised it was still on so it had a good 5 hour soak (plus my neighbours who live on the low side of our house and get residual water through their garden) but it was very close to being on all night also!

I left mine on all night Monday, 10 freakin hours! (Mentioned this in the quiz thread)

don't you guys have timers? I set my timer on the tap and also on my phone just incase

Mine has a timer which is set to go on 3 times per week for 10mins at 5am.

In this weather though, i do a manual soaking too and have accidently left it for 3 hours once.

and I still have bloody brown patches!

C’mon mate that’d be far too easy.
