I did option #2 tonight at home, washed down with a Rockford basket pressed '15. Love the glaze that forms on the lamb.

We bottled our 2025 "Garage Hermitage" Heathcote Shiraz yesterday and stopped for lunch to watch the game. BBQ scotch fillet (nice and thick) was down with the newly bottled vintage, it was a good day.

A lot depends which GWS team turns up.
If it's the one that played the Saints, we're a chance.
If it's the one that played Brisbane, we're cactus.

Its as much chance which Carlton turns up.

It's probably a good opportunity to see how far we've progressed in overcoming those lapses that result in a run of goals.
A team like GWS can exploit that significantly.

Marinated lamb horizontally rotating over coals, lightly charred , dripping juice, aromatic smoke ....mouth waters thinking about it.

Just to dot point the way the game has gone, we are seeing drinks breaks sponsored by x in both halves.

In the australia vs Turkey game it was a balmy 20 degrees in Canada.

Hardly a heat rule situation.

You could argue fairness as a reason behind it, but the cynic in me says its about money and nothing more.

They're a good side, not a superside and inconsistent. Very beatable. 50-50, no more than that. Only time in any half recent memory where we won 5 straight is in 2023 in a run of 10. We don't normally do 4 straight, helped we played Essendon, let alone 5 straight. If we do then we may have the right attitude for a change that carries us through the season like 2023. Now that big question......IF!

Yep, a big ask for us this week. I probably won’t be be tipping us. Just hoping I’m wrong.
Ye have little faith Cookie, the Baggers are BIT.

I feel like I’m riding my luck! Need to keep getting those tips right at the moment! Actually, if we win I’ll be rapt irrespective of tipping.
