As we know, every year you get bolters and sliders.

Who do you think will drop out of the 8 from last season

and who will they be replaced by?

 

2018 top 8.

Geelong

Brisbane

Richmond

Collingwood

West Coast

GWS

Bulldogs 

Essendon

 

Essendon to be replaced by Melbourne methinks.

 

Then again, I picked Melbourne to finish 4 this year????

Gee this gives me the <deleted>s.

 

It's not like watching or going to the footy is compulsory.

 

Church leaders fume at AFL scheduling a Good Friday game at Adelaide Oval

 

Christian church leaders in Adelaide are not pleased with the AFL after the league released its 2020 season fixture including a Good Friday clash for the South Australian capital.

On Thursday the full fixture was revealed, with an AFL game scheduled on Good Friday at the Adelaide Oval for the very first time.

Port Adelaide will play West Coast in a 7pm evening game, but Christian religious leaders in the 'City of Churches' were unimpressed.

 
"Really disappointed that there is going to be a football match on this holy day, as our spirituality gives meaning and purpose to our life," Reverend Sue Ellis from the Uniting Church South Australia said in a report by Nine News Adelaide's Kate Lambe.

"It would have been nice if they were actually a bit more aware of the insensitivity of scheduling a game at this time," Reverend Frank Nelson, Dean of St Peter's Cathedral, said.

The church representatives said the only saving grace was that it was a night game and not during the day like the traditional clash in Melbourne.

Port Adelaide welcomed the move, and said footy fans should not feel guilty about their decision to watch or attend a game on the day.

"I think people have the right to choose how they celebrate and commemorate that day," Port Adelaide CEO Keith Thomas said.

Well its reported Simple Simon is "leaving on a jet plane" with Al Ricko for a coaches course or something like that in the US, apparently Ricko did one at Harvard last year it didnt help him i noticed...

 

Mean while a lot of noise coming out of the Dee dressing rooms regarding match fitness and pre season under the new fitness guru, a former Arsenal and Port Adeliade fitess man.... sorry guys Arsenal hasnt done a think in the last 10 ys nor has Port.....And...its reported the Demons want Harry "the hospital case" Bennel training with them and they wanna upload him to the rookie list while getting his calfs ready and match fit....

Time to lighten up...what will remembrance as well as the NFL honouring veterans its time to look into the world of supermodels and half billionaires....and ho don't we wish we could do it.....

 

https://www.news.com.au/sport/sports-life/exf1-mogul-flavio-briatore-69-dating-20yearold/news-story/f6ee0243358e2061be7d30725c231d4b Italian half billionaire Flavio 69 is dating a 20 year old....gees I get conscious if she is under 35, haven't done that in a while I might add....Bosi isnt known in celebrity circles, yet,  but the law student is looking to become a model it seems so a leg up in the right places should realise the dream, Flav use to own Queens Park Rangers a so so club in England, and use to date Naomi Campbell.....shes an older supermodel....they had 3 wild years together, claims to have told old Flav "Im not going to be a trophy, if your expect me to be in the kitchen cooking brekkie in high heels looking like I just stepped out of a fashion mag its not going to happen"....even the pretty ones have attitude....anyway if she was a real hottie she would look good in anything, like a white tee shirt and old crumpled up levi jeans.... it must be true that once you become successful women revert back to the caveman days and size you up on how well you can afford them...take care in Thai terms...the eye glow dollar bills....sorry 100 dollar bills and a bunch of plutonium credit cards...

 

It its true I know, I once owned a BMW coupe it was 4 ys old when I bought it, silver low and very smart I did keep it in show room condion and it only cost me the same price a brand new Falcon XR6 would have cost me, so it wasn't a hard decision to make, well did you get more respect when you went to check out jobs, if I turned up in the ute well....but in the BM...they were literally throwing the work at you...true too....once pulling up at a shop in Fitzroy with my classy Italian blonde friend with curves in all the right places I had not noticed they spied me parking out front, we went in for a lookie see...man the red carpet was rolled out, of course I realised 5 min later it was the car.....and women stoped putting there hands in there pockets too...expect for my Blonde Italian friend..she knew I was a poor divorced tradie....Hence why I bought a poor mans German car this time around...get the quality without the price tag and and hopefully women WILL pay for a coffee sometimes...

 

Flavio told Vogue magazine ...(ive never been interview by them)...."I never count, its not right (lier) I believe every time you go out with somebody you go because you are looking for something, (sex is always good) always the intension is good....(depends on your twisted mind) if its not succes sful maybe its destiny."...(baloney, you make your own destiny)...

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/10/tech/singles-day-sales-alibaba/index.html Ahh marketing people take the cake dont they? Singles day in China sales on Alibaba, racked up a fortune breaking last years record, Singles day is an informal anti-Valentines day holiday in China celebrating people like me who are not in relationships, Nov 11 is the date so keep that in mind for next year, get a good deal online and treat your miserable self to something...you have a 24 hr shopping window to maximise or max out your hopeless life...Last ExTGF was a marketing manger, must have been good at it as she was head hunted away to work in Burma though she never displayed any rocket science to me in the 2 ys together...after work she was just sleepy if not kept amused, only time I seen her light up was at Universal studios on one of them mad rides while in Osaka....

 

https://www.thejournal.ie/coffee-cup-levy-4884596-Nov2019/ Can you believe it? not enough they charge a VAT there gonna hit you with a coffee levy as well...,.and in Ireland...good time to buy a coffee machine there, around 3.80 to 4.50 depending where you find yourself in Melbourne, not that its expensive, I lashed out and bought a coffee machine not cheap either will take about 10 ys too to pay for itself, it would have died by then, its the Greg idea....lure the women home with a promise of a latte and cake...actually im almost a recluse here now, hermit....to think I use to burn the candle at both ends once, well winter gets to me now, to think I use to go to all footy games in all conditions, im somewhat over the cold, nov 12 today 27 yesterday frigging top of 15 today currently 12 at 10 am....3 month old coffee machine is getting looked at under warranty in my my mind its not hot enough, the water that is, well friends are surprised how hot I like my tea and coffee, wasn't until I had a long back at sisters house I realised mine wasn't up to scratch, I mean I did read reviews and all and there seemed to be this reacquiring idea that this particular coffee machine and the water temp was kind of lowish so you know I put up with it....Anyway im amazed at how many lazy Melbourne people there are...there are a few drive in expresso spots now plus loads of early morning cafes open, dont people make a coffee at home? a work buddy recons his mrs goes out  up to 4 times a day too buy a coffee....mind you he has a coffee machine too, I advised him to teach her how to use it, its manual he said, pretty 30 year old  finds it difficult so hes looking for a fully automatic job on FB  market place for her.....can you believe? Actually she comes from Taiwan and from well to do family so you know the story never lifted a finger in her life to cook clean or anything else for that matter, its a full time job taking care of a 2 year old and going out to buy coffee and lunch...and im not kidding...some guys go to water around a pretty woman....let them get away with murder....of course im not like that, I've discouraged several lazy TGF's from hanging around....well second last was not lazy she just filled the family sized fridge with white plastic bags full of things I couldn't eat, she was moved on because she a detective, even if I thought to get up to no good she was on the phone to me...her ring tone on my phone was The Pink Panther....often moody and critical because I wouldn't pay for her MD, she's the one who use to go to the university close to where I was staying that year in BKK and recons she was coming to see me so I should pay for her taxi home, after a lot of harassment I use to leave 200B next to the tv so she would leave me alone...She did pay her own fare and visa out to stay with me for a year but 4 months later she was on her way....Living with her was totally different to dating her as you can imagine....

My BT-50 Pro has the USB's for music in the glovebox,CD player in the normal position although the usb stick rules with only Aussie music when the boss is behind the wheel.

Mazda,car of the year in Thailand,only Golf you will see here is on the course.

I swore i was keeping this one for 10 years(i like the silver colour)but with overproduction and a strong baht it may be out with the old in with the new at the 40,000 km range next year.
