Down at Port Vincent having a beer. Sunny, 22 degrees, light breeze. Sneak off to the Ventnor for a couple of pints soon then bbq some marinated steak. It ain't shit.

A weekend in Vincent, a few at the Ventnor, as close as I get to being religious.

Well said Mr.Boon, still got 5 more days here. Going to the ANZAC Day service tomorrow followed by brekky at the RSL.

Dinner at the Ventnor. Mixed grill consisting of 2 small chicken schnitzels, a porterhouse steak, 2 snags, a rasher of bacon, an egg and chips plus the salad bar. Washed down with a couple of Byron Bay pale ales.

I reckon they should have a version of Lego Masters on Boxing Day involving dads watching the Test Match whilst knocking off min 6-8 beers.

One of the only two great PM's we've had in 50 years. Have a beer for Bob everyone. RIP Bob Hawke. I can't think of a PM that was more Aussie than this bloke.

Him and Howard are so far ahead of any others in my lifetime it ain't funny.

This has the makings of a really good side, we need to somehow keep most of them together.

It does, still badly lacking in height for mine though.

RIP Hawkey
Best PM in my lifetime

Agreed and well put Jimmy. Howard in his prime would have been a worthy adversary but Hawkey's persona probably would've got him over the line. Howard had none of Bob's personality but was an exceptional politician. He knew the game and did it well. For those of us old enough to remember Bob he actually did what clowns like Clive Palmer can only dribble about. A great Australian and we won't see another. More's the shame.
Howard poor mans Bob Hawke.

Had the political nous but lacked the personal touch Hawke had.

Agreed lad, and that's why he'll never be spoken of like Bob when he passes. Howard tried but it wasn't in his make-up to be personable. He was pragmatic and dull but extremely effective. Bob had something Little Johnny would have craved for, an ability to appeal to all Australians. Seeing people at the cricket lauding Hawkey for sculling a beer, he looked like one of us. Little Johnny was a cricket nuffie but looked like an arse bowling an offie, Bob copped a bouncer.

Last win was 2008 IIRC.

Yep SLSP v.1 kicked four in the first qtr and the Mouse had a Michael Aish type run in the 3rd (four bounces) but kicked the goal IIRC....

this happened also -

Miss those boys, any "villains" still running around in the SANFL these days?

Run into both lads from time to time at work. Decent blokes, still don't take any shit. One of our ruck recruits this year would attest to their surly yet fair persona. Gave the lad a quick life lesson as well.

The return of the Portuguese explorer.

Understood lad, I love watching election nights though, state or federal.

Okay, time for your HoR predictions.

I'm going with:

ALP 81
LNP 62
OTH 8

Dunno, Labor SHOULD get by comfortably, especially after Hawkey passing (it will get some votes - some people are genuinely that easily swayed).

ALP 77
LNP 65
Other 9

Conservative estimate. If Shorten wasn't in charge add minimum 2 seats. Best case scenario for Morrison is a minority government with Abbott and Dutton getting shitcanned.

We were very, very poor. Bays were toying with us. Our cause wasn't helped by being knobbled at the selection table, it was ridiculous the lack of height and size in our team.

I work with 5 females in my area, when I have deemed they have being prattling on for long enough I literally tell them they've been making my ears bleed for long enough and to shut the f**k up. The odd Macbeth reference gets dropped as well. They take it with a grain of salt but they go back to work.
Bubbling cauldrons and salt, I'm guessing you work in a soup kitchen? ;)

Salt mine. It's not so much "out damned spot" than "quiet damned woman". At times like that I envy Duncan.

Jenkins has been dropped to the other Crows side. Probably done out of pity as he might not have been able to get through a game at Prospect.

Was thinking the same thing Wedgie, the Grog Squad in fine form would've been well worth watching.
He would have needed more than Collective Minds to get over a couple of quarters at the southern end of Prospect Oval. ;)

The Groggies version of a family friendly area is stay home you c***.

Missus - " Last time you were sick and drank after taking pills you threw up".

Me - "I'm not taking the pills'.

A hostile silence followed.

Winners- England
Runners Up- India (Dark horse NZ)
Most Runs- Kolhi
Most wickets- Kuldeep Yadav

Has there ever been a World Cup where the Kiwis weren't the dark horse? I'm not sure, you've seen more world cups than me?

I shan't quibble with a man with a thread named in his honour, just seems the Kiwis even in the 80's were the ones people thought might pull a rabbit out of a hat. I'm with Carey, the Windies are my smokey, could do major damage or just as easily collapse in a heap.

A bit of Mr. Magoo positive thinking. I just realised Centrals can still make the finals. It usually takes 10 wins or even if you say 11 wins like last season, they only have to win 9 of the last 10 remaining games and make up percentage (because we have the lowest percentage in the League). :D

We only need to win 3 quarters each game by a big margin given we always have at least 1 goalless quarter.

I dismissed gazzamagoo's previous incarnation's similarly far fetched prediction a couple of years ago and was left with egg on my face. I shall risk another omelette to the cranium and call bollocks young sir.

If it was the correct amount of matches in a season I'd still be hopeful, but in an 18 game season, we're pushing diarrhoea up mount Everest, using a ladle.

More like a colander.

Play 2 rucks and leave Fraser as a stay at home full forward. Use Menzel as a leading CHF if we must persist in playing small up forward and plonk the resting ruck in a pocket. Get in Izzy's ear and tell him to pull his finger out and stay under their feet. He can make an impact when he wants to. That will give us half a show.

Good to see Cooper Dahms named in reserves for his first game in 12 months (knee recon). Reckon someone named in reserves won't be playing tomorrow.

Ben Walter?
Connor McLean didn't play.

Apparently Connor has left Centrals.

Should have been playing league, why he didn't get picked I can't fathom.

You're never happy to lose but I reckon Norwood would be reasonably content after yesterday, especially considering the personnel they had missing and the opposition they were up against. Effort was there all day. Kids like Olsson, Richards, Gerlach and Carroll look like they've got a bit about them. One thing I noticed when the Legs played at our dunghill and again yesterday was Baulderstone started getting jumped over at stoppages in the last quarter which impacted heavily on clearances. Needs more of a hand in ruck so he can get a bit more rest and run out the game.

Different coach this year.
I thought Norwood disappeared in the GF last year.
Worst and most pathetic effort I have ever seen by a Legs team at Norwood in 60 years.
Tooooooooo many front runners.
Seen plenty of worse efforts at Norwood but yes today was totally unacceptable and 2 weeks in a row we have pretty much given up.
On current form we are a very real chance of wasting another season as I just can’t see where our next win will come from

Norwood have the most talented squad in the league, fish stinks from the head.

Feliz Aniversario Portuguese comrade.

Ripper of a finish, thank Christ the Blues came out on top.

The lad working at the beer van at Elizabeth Oval today. Got a can of Guinness before the 1st bounce, went to get another at the start of the other 3 quarters and he'd already cracked a can ready for me before I'd arrived.

gazzamagoo wrote:don't whinge about losing because of umpires, not a good look. We lost because we're not good enough at the moment.

We had a go yesterday, worked hard. Usual suspects did their bit, Durdin looks a likely type. Robinson improved on last week, started to impose himself on the contest.

Happy Birthday lad, hopefully The Bays give you a belated pressie in a couple of months.

Got all wired up for a sleep test last night, anyone else had to do one of these? I'm not sure how people are expected to sleep with all the wires from arsehole to breakfast. Matchsticks in the eyelids today hence zero work getting done with commensurate F***'s given.

Had one done a few weeks back, very f***ing uncomfortable.

Walking towards the beer van at Elizabeth just before the game, the bloke saw me 20m away and started getting a Guinness out.

Happy Birthday to the cricket guru. Hope you had a goodun.

Well played sir.

Young lad at work kicked the winner for Golden Grove to get them into the GF. He's a good kid, hope they get up in a couple of weeks time.

You can be aggressive without resorting to being a fu**ing moron. Smith is showing that by placing the ball and running hard and pinching ones and twos. How long before Digger Paine succumbs to his vice?

This innings we have learnt a lot about the character of Joffra... front runner of highest order.

Harsh, he is only in is 2nd test match, thats the beauty of test match cricket, it exposes you, he will be good for a long time. He would have learnt more in the last month than he has in the last 10 years.
Not harsh at all... i have never seen Pat Cummins just rolling his arm over and with negative body language that Archer displayed in this innings. And he has played more than Archers 3 tests. The first sign it gets tough and he mentally checks out.
Time will tell and he clearly will have days when it falls in place but personally I am happier to have Cummins and Hazlewood than Archer for full hearted commitment.

haha seriously he is a baby in test cricket, Smith and Warnie were very similar in their first few tests.

Warnie got pasted in his first Test but he still wanted the ball in his hand, didn't shy away because things didn't suit him.

It's a strange feeling isn't it. Our only hope is Glenelg winning finals. We're f**ked.

No explanation?
to get concessions because your club breached the salary cap, we all know that.
But Norwood have no morals anymore, that was proven when they recruited Glenn, he's still on their list, even after the indiscretion just before the finals last year. Any other side you would think would de-list him.
allegedly.

You keeping sniffing around that topic gazza.

Top hit that by Joseph. The height in the Power forward line might trouble the Bays, blokes like Curran and Proud are quality defenders but not that tall.

Frampton is a fair dinkum cockhead.

"Virgin under pressure". Made me laugh.

One wonders how England will play this tonight.

will they come out with an attitude to get the win.

will they come out and play for a draw and risk putting all the eggs in the basket for the final test

either way could cost them the ashes, i think personally they will come up and go for the win

No, don't think they will, being two down, and those being Root and Burns.

And @ northerner - no excuses for Lyon tonight on the last day. Can't put the last test down to him coz that test finished mid-way through day four - well before the Poms even started their second innings this test.

Correct weight, no excuses for Lyon today. The game situation and pitch are set up perfectly for him to make an impact today.

Glad I got up at 1 this morning to watch it. Feeling the pinch now but don't regret it for a minute. We were flat as a tack for a while there, just kept eeking out a wicket when needed. Paine's captaincy has been nothing to write home about but he pulled a rabbit out of the hat giving Labuschagne an ober at Leach. As my mate said to me via text at 2.45am "Yes!Yes!........fuc**ng Yes!".

Best wishes to MT, hope the Tiges get up this week and CM, hopefully we win the next Test and The Toad gets another pair.
