Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Where will Carlton finish?
Not clear to me yet where we’re likely to end up as l’m not clear on exactly what was at the root of our problems last year and whether or not we’ve effectively addressed them.
I’m running on hope for this year that we could make finals. We’ll get a better idea soon enough.

Used to be a dyed in the wool laptop user but finally my old laptop ran out of gas! After some deliberation I finally settled on a combination of iPad and phone. Going OK so far!

I read somewhere that the red Ozito tools in Bunnings are actually manufactured by Milwaukee.
I am only a very spasmodic DIYer these days but I have owned a red Ozito drill for many years and it has been very good.

Wow! No hints on how he managed that?

I understand that shaving one's head can be an act of faith for Muslims but it's not obligatory (as opposed to not shaving beards).  Perhaps Adam has decided to revert to his natural appearance  :-\
Hope it won’t affect his aerodynamics 🤓

How's this going....

Newman, Weitering, Cowan Haynes

Perhaps the surprise of the lot is Saad.
There's probably been a general feeling he's definitely in the twilight.
But a few still have faith, and I'll admit to having picked him.

I'm not sure that will still be the case at the end of the year, but for the start the spot is his to lose.

Those four are the obvious ones imo, beyond them I’m struggling. Agree re Saad but hopefully he comes back refreshed.

Worst part of speeding is, time it wrong amd you get a fine.  I got one recently cost 300 dollars for 54 in a 50 zone on a road that used to be 60.  Stationary 4wd, Saturday night 11.30pm on the way home.  No excuse, but I was on the way home from dinner and Bolton Street is the only stretch thats 50km from templestowe to Diamond Creek road.  Used to be 60km.  Less of this please.  Not helpful to anyone but the government purse.
Used to live near there and Bolton St was and still is a farce. After years of squabbling between Nillumbik and State it was finally revamped over a very long period of time for no improvement imo and the 50 limit remains.

I would describe Charlie as immature. Laid back and living the dream lifestyle wise. Can at times inspire the team with that spectacular and impossible mark or goal but has the lazy downsides at times. I don’t think we were a good enough team to take full advantage of such a luxury player. We need talent yes but we are very reliant on sheer hard work for the most part, at least for now.  Be fascinating to see how we go next year, at least for me it will.

We were confronted by an intruder in our house about a year ago now. Long story but my partner was traumatised at the time and has only recently begun to get back to normal. We must get these thugs out of society but we have little confidence in our present state government.

Tell your partner they will be fine, the numbers are good.

Yep. You just gotta love stats. You can prove almost anything with them.
