Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Round 8 Preview - Carlton v Geelong
I think Friday night will be date night with the better half.

Best to avoid the media until mid to late Sat arvo until some other games have commenced.

This result could be frightening, in what is fast becoming an deplorable Blues season...

If we are competitive for 2 quarters it will be an improvement on the efforts to date this season.

Thank goodness we have a friends wedding so I'm no chance of seeing this game in SA.

I hope the 2 days extra rest helps our lads.

Peptides have had 4 fade outs in the last 4 games (including last 2 in 2014). But against the Hawks they won, other 3 games they gave up leads over 30 points.

Problem I see is that we only play the first quarter. Maybe if we only play the last quarter we might be a chance this week?  :P

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: "Blues Must 'Have A Hard Look At Themselves" - AFL.COM.AU
Not surprising.

General consensus is Ratten's blood was on their hands, and now it looks like a few are ensuring this ends up the same.

I hope the club has figured out that this group care more about themselves than they do each other or the jumper.

Nothing seems to have changed. Or any slight improvement the group has made pales in insignificance, compared to the other clubs in the comp.

How many coaches will it take?

I'm still of the opinion we should just get the best available assistant out there as the next coach (once Mick is shown the door).

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Republican of the Year
Well Tony has been PM for long enough now to get the car, assistants, flight card etc once he moves/gets moved on yes? Massive rort this. Bah!
...

Saw this via a mate and gave me a few chuckles:

Prince Philip has expressed profound disappointment at his recent demotion to a knight, advising that he intends to fight the appointment. “I’m taking the matter to Fair Work Australia,” he said. “I’m a prince g0ddammit, not a knight. Am I seriously supposed to ride a horse again?”

    The Prince has been reeling from the news at Windsor Castle surrounded by his closest bottles of gin. “I’ve worked hard all my life attending party after party after party dealing with an eye-crossingly dull wife, stupid children, h0rny staff and patting poor people’s babies and what is the thanks I get for it?” he asked whilst putting up a sad-face on his Facebook page. “A mad colonialist telling me I have to be his chainmail b!tch.”

    Australian prime minister and leading satirist Tony Abbott announced yesterday that the Prince be appointed his knight. “He’s a Catholic for god’s sake,” the Prince said fumbling around his bar. “I can’t serve a Catholic. Are you mad? Didn’t we get rid of them in the war?”

    It is not known when the Prince is to report to duty and what his shifts will entail. “Will I have email?” he asked. “And I want to be to able to tweet while I’m at work.”

    There is no word on what the Prince’s exact title will be. “Liz suggested Sir Drinksalot and I told her to go to he!l.”

    The Royal Couple were seen yesterday shopping for tights and helmets at Harrods. The Prince remained despondent, insisting: “Nothing fits and they seem to be out of swords. We might have to go Tesco.”

    The Queen has promised to come and visit the Prince while on duty. “I’ll bring his lunch if I can,” she said, while sorting through the red-spot specials of scarves at Harrods. “He loves my sandwiches.”

    At first, it was thought the Prince would be completing his duties in Sydney but it appears now he will be stationed in Canberra. “I mean honestly, how many m0rons with no teeth can I take? Will there be anyone decent on Tinder?”

    Mr Abbott was contacted for comment, but was unable to provide any. He’s expected to announce Prince Andrew’s appointment to the Royal Children’s Commission later in the week.

Great guns... she has them. yes.

Apparently she is over her previous nagging foot injury issues... will be interesting to see if it aligns in a turn (improve) in form or she continues to do a 'watto'...

love the watto analogy too. brilliant.

The Sports Desk / Re: Amazing end to Packers v Seahawks
I thought we were there with the packers last interception... but alas...

I have mon & tues off (recovery). As chieft brewer for the event, I've brewed 5 different beers for the big get together at my mates place. 100L of beer should last us this time.

We polished off 3.5 kegs at last years (20L kegs) game day... (15- 25 guys attended during various parts of the day).

Hence the tues recovery day!

Shattered mate. Watched it and devo'd we lost from there.

2 missed 1 yard conversions in the first half really cost us though.

And Wilson with his lucky hail Mary's late in the game... spewing!

With his salary and sponsor deals he won't have to work ever again if he doesn't want to.

Throw in the hot model GF and its all looking peachy for pup.

...

Cowan to 3, Watson to 6?

Then once Rogers retires after the Ashes, move Watson up to open with Warner.

Can't stand Watson, but based on him hitting 80 and taking a few wickets last test he is now guaranteed another 5 years in our side I'd suggest...
