Thanks to Will, who can buy me lunch next week, and all other participants for making this thread such a great place during the footy season. I'll have a little brag, when I saw Brisbane lose and Oz went past me followed by the Wobbles being 4 goals down at three quarter time I thought I'd gone for the proverbial doctor, but decades of virtuous living was finally rewarded. Port hammering the despicable Crows made it a great weekend.

You're at the right end of the season FJ, things are starting to go pie shaped for a lot of clubs already.

Eight goals in a losing side today, a true champions game.

A 5.9 in Myanmar between Tachilek and KengTung about midnight last night woke a few people up around here. Some damage reported at MaeSai, no doubt more news today. https://earthquaketrack.com/quakes/2022-07-21-17-07-26-utc-5-9-10

Most lotteries work the same, the ticket sales money is split into prizes (80-90%?) after expenses with one major prize and enough smaller wins to keep the punters interested and the organisers trouser the rest. The system works, getting greedy only kills the customer base so it's a safe reliable income that most people don't tamper with.

Tommy was a bit smaller than Nic....

I remember Tom Alvin getting tackled by his long hair once....

Known as Knuckles because he had broken most of them on each hand several times.... Mainly on Victorians in interstate games.

Anyone who can remember the great interstate games of the 60s will recall Neil Kerley, former SA captain and five times state league premiership coach, sadly killed in a car accident today at the age of 88. A popular tale of when he was coaching was that on Friday nights he would warn players of the dangers of sapping their strength with sex the night before the game with a loud "...and keep off your bl##dy knees". Apparently the players were not too concerned because it was agreed that "Kerls" was so square he only knew of the missionary position.

Well picked the guys on 8, not a lot of straightforward selections there.

I have a new pup, most of sites/books on puppy training are treat orientated. About all I can think of is the strips of chicken jerky available in supermarkets and pet supply stores. Any other suggestions?

Possibly half of this weeks games could go either way on the betting, should be an interesting round.

From your favourite scribe today mate.... West Coast mid-season draftee Jai Culley has famously gone from working in a chicken shop to playing for West Coast, surely one of the most tragic tales in sport.

We picked up Brynn Teakle from the West, I think at this stage we'd have had any lad around 2m.

Split round starts this week....

Felt a bit sorry for Alex, the only one to tip the Tigers. I nearly changed my tip before the match myself but have learned not to do that.

Thanks mate, not happy though, I had GWS when I made my selections Thursday then changed to the Crows an hour or two before the game. Them getting flogged is a consolation prize though... ????

I'm nowhere near the footy fanatic I used to be FJ, the secret of whatever tipping success I've achieved is 1) Pick hot favorites 2) Think carefully for a few seconds about other favorites then pick them. 3) Anything between 60/40 pick the home side or use a pin.

Chivet Thamma Da for quality food in quality surroundings. Coffeenergy Chiang Rai is nice at a lower price.

Gotta love Titus O'Reily on a Monday. Collingwood (100) v Adelaide (58) Another game, another interruption, with the MCG evacuated during the second quarter following a small fire in a food outlet. The damage was two pies, three chips and a burger. This being the MCG catering, that adds up to just over $1 million in damages.

I'm in.

That's not a link to the legislation or the Social Security Act.

Link?

....and he's a long way from Tipperary.
