Ladies Lounge / AFLW - Trade
Tayla Harris has requested a trade back to Melbourne!

Apparently we are the front runner! :o

Great article in The Hun by Eliza Sewell linked HERE.

Note the lack of spin and bullcrap, just the facts!

For the next draft there is a one game Father & Daughter rule I never knew about! :D

PS: Our club now has a nice summary of the new AFLW Trade / Draft rules. HERE

The Sports Desk / Mundine - Green, should cheats prosper?
It's sad reading and listening to the rhetoric today about the recent battle of the prehistoric mammals. It seemed to me to be a sub-standard fight that was akin to two past-it bulls reliving the old days.

But even more disturbing for me is the result, the reason for the result, and the subsequent complaining.

A deliberate cheap shot taken early in the match, well outside the spirit of good sportsmanship, designed to level the playing field. Should not be rewarded with victory. It seems one of the three judges thought so, and despite Mundine finishing the match in better physical condition he should not have been rewarded for what I see as deliberate cheating.

Even sadder, old beaten around the ring boxers coming out and joining the chorus. They discount the bad behaviour and only care about the outcome.

Perhaps Mundine got the physical victory, but it does matter how you get a win! If that isn't the case the next person to fight him should feel free to take a shovel the ring and end him at the first bell!

Blah-Blah Bar / Dr Who
Fans of the BBC show will be shattered to read Peter Capaldi is leaving his role as The Doctor.

However rumors abound Sir Ian Murray McKellen of Lord of the Rings, X-Men, The Da Vinci Code, Waiting for Godot, etc., etc., is considering a season or two as The Doctor!

Interesting times ahead!

Blah-Blah Bar / Judd - Twin Boys!
Congratulations to Bec and Chris.

Twin boys, Tom and Darcy!

Just as the successful careers of the Silvagni trio wind down, the Judd's will lift us back up again, I hope I live long enough to see it!

The spuds announcing the event stated Chris played 134 for West Coast,

Then begrudgingly and late in the piece added Carlton also had access to the boys.

Blah-Blah Bar / Augmented Reality Games
I heard some disturbing rumours overnight, I am not sure if this is true but it needs investigation.

There is a new game being played by kids that is an augmented reality version of a video game. Basically it's played on a smartphone using GPS coordinates to find virtual treasures/prizes that have been scattered globally using GPS coordinates by the game makers.

Players have to roam around streets and venues using their phone like a head up video display to find virtual stuff hiding in corners, under chairs, behind trees, etc., etc.. These virtual prizes are superimposed on the real life scene by the game software. It's really a great idea, kids get exercise while playing the video games they love.

But apparently overseas paedophiles and low-life's have clicked on to this game as being the digital equivalent of a bag of lollies. They are allegedly locating prizes and sitting in wait for kids to come along. There is also talk on-line of child abductions, robberies and assaults.

It's shocking if true, that these scum-bags could switch on to this sort of opportunity so quickly. Hopefully the police do too!
