Cracking morning, although driving through Myponga the temperature plummeted 5°c

Shotgun start

Par 4 - 14th to kick the day off
Driver and lucky to make contact..... get to it, hit 2nd shot trying to get back out onto fairway and played pinball with a tree.
Bout to pick up and realise it's stroke... ffs... gonna be a long day.. and wrote the round off with a 7.

Course is in good condition
Greens recently aerated but didn't really impact putting... I'd like to say it did...
Anyway, we fight back like all good players do, still missed a few putts
Got the driver working successfully on the 3rd attempt from the tee.
Only a Par 70 with some short par 4s.
Couple blind shots, especially when unfamiliar with the course
Ended up with an 83 which shocked me a tad

Jason Dunstall has been elevated to legend status in the AFL Hall of Fame.
To this day the greatest full forward I’ve ever seen play.

Lockett, Dunstall, Ablett Snr, all from an era when stay at home full forwards were the norm, they did however have to earn their kicks unlike the modern players.

For the era he played in Franklin I think is the best FF I have seen. To kick 1000 goals this century the way the game is played is nothing short of phenomenal.

Dunstall however was, with Hodges, my childhood hero. Still have the Oz Child guernsey with the #19 on it.

Agree Franklins efforts are remarkable. Especially given how much better he was as a full forward than any other in his era. Compare that to Dunstall/Lockett/Ablett Snr your splitting hairs with all of them. No splitting hairs with anyone else but Franklin in his era.

What i find remarkable is how small Lockett, Dunstall and Ablett are compared to modern day forwards.

Curnow 194cm
Franklin 198cm
J.Cameron 196cm
Lockett 191cm
Dunstall 188cm
Ablett 185cm
and to think Ablett wasnt a natural born full forward

Looks like Tiser used it out of context. Which is unlike them...

dont mind jimmy Bartels work in the media

dont mind jimmy Bartels work in the media Is he just on Nine and 3AW? He was (and may of started) on Access All Areas, the AFL.com.au show with Matthew Lloyd and Damien Barrett and was fine on that, definitely not 'wooden' like Selwood and Cotchin.
Does a podcast/YouTube either Eddie McGuire as well.

Went out to play a quick 9 today as I wasn't happy how I hit them yesterday.

Course was bloody busy! I Get to the first tee 3 blokes waiting for a forth to pay, Hey Dutch you can go through if you like? No idea who it was, it turns out I use to play footy with him I reluctantly accept to go as I hadn’t had a swing in the practice net before going off which I like doing, any way I get up on the tee only to see the green keeper up next to the green I’m thinking F**k me what’s going on.

Anyway with a fair few eyes on me, 5iron pin 165m meters bounced 6ft short, then a second bounce bang hits the pin and drops my second ever hole in hole!

Swaggered off the tee like Mick Jagger just giving out high 5’s

Get up to the green and the super says ‘Nice ball’ No shit mate it’s in the hole! Lol :D
Well played Mick :lol:

Lovely morning for it

You pruning the bushes?

no riff raff in the Sky box!

i'll have a gander at the fan villa/merch tent early and maybe the practice putting area depending on the crowd.

last year i was around the 18th green for the most part and it was quite good. only a few times did crowds come through and thats with Smith and Mickelson mainly.

think i need to have a look at the course map and find a few spots.

I'd love it, just go straight at the pin and watch it plug

Who do you complain too when a regular radio contributor continually wins goodies?

Yep, a % booster now.
Need camrys to show something ffs

Think it's called Nightcap at watermark
