The next software upgrade on the horizon WILL allow for apps to be downloaded on your Macbook Pro....wonder if the IMac WILL get it too..

 

You know i had a new SD card put in my vitage windows laptop thats the 4th hard drive since 2011 and mind you it hardly got used after end of 2013 when i got confident with my iMac.....Well wouldnt you know it, just 3 weeks later the f***ckin thing wouldnt turn off...holy molie a new hard drive and windows install an 3 weeks later its F****ed again....$240 then another $180 oh my god this Dell has cost me a fortune.....serious its been cheaper to keep 2 cars on the road than this computer....and worse of all i payed $1550 for the dam thing originally just so i could play that fifa game...

 

Windows desk top pc...up graded several times then 2 windows laptops all the problems ive had .....well worn path to the computer shop for years its like a soap opera honestly and to think that dell.....was only $500 cheaper than the macbook pro at the time and i didnt get it...shame shame shame on me....im on my seconf iPad gave the first to my daughter have Imac and Macbook pro plus a number of Iphones and apart from the touch decease on the 6+ never ever had anything go wrong with my Apple stuff....and never spent a cent on repairs....

 

If this Dell plays up again its going in the bin i WILL just have to find a wife to keep me amused since fifa manger will go in the bin with it...

Lynch hasn't brought anything to the Tigers I think and im beginning to thing chasing expensive Free Agents is a risky business, which means it WILL be interesting to see how in a few more games the May Leaver combo is travelling down at Deeland....but hey..May and Leaver both expensive arnt in the league of Franklin and Lynch, my  view is its a Baaaaa to chase expensive FA's Leaver and May are not million $ a season men so they kinda just sneak in...Dusty was like poo last night....them Tatts have slowed him down...and the friction from that haircut is causing wind drag....needs a new model...which reminds me Oliver has done the Dusty haircut and his form has dropped off too...so theres a correlation of said hair style...apart from the fact it looks off....

You're working beautifully (still) Alex.

[farmerjo]

Don't think there will be much movement in the tipping this week.

Unless,unless there's a smokey or two.

I'm in for a nervous afternoon with the Suns having the wood on Roos.

A lot of outs for GC surely not,looking to the sky it's a beautiful 30 degrees here in nakon know where.

But will a thunderstorm roll in this afternoon.

Ahh the honeymoon will go for a week or two more dont you worry about that...them North players were so embarrassed that there ex coach thought they didn't have it in them so you know them dead beats have a few things to prove but off course you can expect them wheelie bin wheels to fall off sooner rather than later...

 

I do love it when it rains there...love the why the humidity drops off like 15 min before it belts down....then I just love seeing the falling rain and it smashing into a tin roof....shame about insulation its killed off the sound I love to hear when laying bed....

[farmerjo]

Well 2 upsets today.

Radar will be over the moon,the new coach works Radar????

Adelaide hung on for a good win over the Giants,not happy with them poking the bear travelling to meet the Roos next week.

At half time as a good supporter was doing the sums for percentage in the GCS v Roos game thinking a 90 point victory was required,well happy with a scrappy win in the end.

[farmerjo]

After reading the AFL website,i wonder whether i  would  go to a game with the chance of being ejected for being passionate.

Thankfully i live in the land of smiles and can rant and rave without the cost of a ticket and ejection,i wonder how much a recently released doco has impacted this.

Meat pies,beer,cheering,booing and calling the umpires Maggots used to be the standard.

My wife ejected and banned me from the living room for being a passionate supporter.

 

As for the Goodes Doco social media has been in meltdown and Goodes hasn't made any friends.  It appears the verdict is overwheming, he is up there and admired as much as the flog Anthony Mundine.  The Doco has driven the wedge deeper and with the AFL and clubs again apoligising to goodes because he was booed.  

 

I believe June the 8th each year has been dedicated Adam Goodes sorry day and there will be 8 hours of mourning and whinning 

[Radar501]

My opinion of Adam Goodes has been well documented on this forum.   It's his character I don't like, not his skin colour.   And before the State of Origin Rugby last week, nine aboriginal players refused to sing Advance Australia Fair coz they protested it WASN'T fair.   Disgraceful performance.  Watch this space for the next AFL game when the teams line up for the national anthem.   

 

This issue is closer to my heart than many may comprehend.

 

Records reveal that my convict forefather settled in Hobart after release from Port Arthur in the early 1800's and married into the local black fella clan. The aboriginal blood has been diluted over successive generations, and as for me, I have a pointy nose, green eyes, and skin as white as virgin snow.

 

My grandmother was related to, and shared the same maiden surname as Susan Sangster – Peacock - Ranouf nee Rossiter.   Apparently, with every few generations an ancestral throwback can occur.   Take a look at the facial features of Suzy's daughter, Ann Peacock, and make your own mind up.

 

I must remember to submit that Mabo claim for traditional ownership of Bellerive Oval.

Much as I loathe the Crows, my tipping when they play at home follows W G Grace's cricket advice on winning the toss.

 

"When you win the toss – bat. If you are in doubt, think about it, then bat. If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague – then bat."

Woah, I kinda expected the result but not the margin.

 

Nice work by your boys Rip.

Enjoy the win.

Maybe in time the clubs WILL do what went down in the American Football League, NFL, started at the 49ers when a few namely some quarterback name something like Killpatrick a afro American kneeled at the national anthem, it was happening around the league by the afro Americans, in the end the QB lost his spot on the roster and was expected to get picked up by another club...but no...even he was highly regarded has stayed unemployed the club owners have refused to hire him this sent a message to the rest of the players who quickly pulled them selves into line.....

 

Alas my other team bit the dust on the weekend......how could WILLs wonders loose it? oh dear me....meanwhile the sun is shining in Melbourne today...thats a good sign for the Dee's, we do like to playing in spring like condions, im gaining more confidence that they could pull it off....this is there last chance...think we just 3 games off the 8 plus % so if that cant motivate them god dam nothing can...

Well chaps, seems like there's a few roughies every round these days.

 

Radar gets the twirl bars this week for a sensational effort in picking the card.

A huge weekend for Radar with the Blue Baggers getting a win as well.

 

There's been a bit of movement at the top but still pretty close.

 

Until next time.

 

 

 

[ripstanley]

Great tipping Radar.

[sceadugenga]

I'm surprised more didn't pick Carlton, sacking the coach has traditionally been a way of inspiring players to greater efforts.

[AlexRRR]

HEADLINES.....Demons make me moody....thats what I tell my Thai gf's.....I also tell them im watching my very bad football team today.....You know I was too young to recall the good old days, its been pure poo since the late 60's..ho WILL how lucky are you with the Eagles....And OMG the jumper they wore yesterday brings back flashing memories of bottom of the ladder years.....I hate that strip...please stop wearing it....

 

Yes there are reasons there underachieving, the defence did hold for a long part of the game...  but when you got nothing forward of centre its like holding a broken dam wall...its going to give eventually....now I could have told Goodwin that dropping little Mac was not a good idea....as we all seen Frost who I like a lot was concused early and thats was it....Mac is a pretty good player and in my team he would have got in over lazy Boy Gartlet...Im over Geoff....reasonable game yesterday but really he isnt that quick to be over running the ball as often as he does.....that forward line is all at sea.....Dont matter what happens from now on end they should be looking to experiment and give a couple of guys a chance...

 

Well.....https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/10/business/oil-boom-production-opec/index.html this its interesting.......Opec have been dropping prices though I just paid $1.70 for 98 fuel last week so you wouldn't have noticed at the bowser....why? the Yanks found fracking to be cost effective once it hit a certain price.....now what have we? still high prices or it could be higher and were not appreciating what were paying...thanks Don....The Arabs have been diversifying knowing its all going to dry up one day...the big profits...so there buying football teams....Paris SG, Man City, a few others and now Newcastle United...this will make it interesting in the premier league....obviously there is a plan to make it the best comp in the world.....with squllions splashing around in the mother land salarys hitting 400,000$ a week Real are in trouble.....a 2 horse league...what of PSG? there the only team in the league, not much fun hey? 

 

But guys the big question....what happens in the ground when they pump all that oil and gas out?   There is a dirty big hole under the Middle East..well this could solve a political problem couldn't it? Alas all hope is dashed....apparently all that black gold is sitting in little pores of rocks and when its removed water finds its way in to replace it....and did you know there only taking about 5% of the oil out anyway....thats mind blowing...so imagine in years to come with some smart tech they can keep on getting at it...like forever....Now pumping oil out of the ground is actually good for climate change...hopefully some of that rising sea water can make it into the pores of the rock to replace the oil...https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=21551.0 anyway a discussion is here on this subject....cant believe me it took nearly my whole life to look it up...

Don't forget to get the tips in early gents.

 

Looking at the fixtures, if you get 6 this week you're a genius.

Can genuinely make a case for pretty much every side this week.

By seasons end.....there could be up to 6 coaches put to the sacrificial sword....2 down and possible 4 more to go....

 

Reading here https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2019-the-coach-pressure-index-ranking-the-18-afl-coaches-to-show-whos-under-the-pump/news-story/c3e3ee1ca3059d5b6cca5d31205c88a2 there being to kid to some..

 

Johnny Worsfold has no credit left in the bank the Bombers expect a lot me thinks no finals no john next year...

 

Alan Richardson is in the same boat...in fact id say hes gone and the only reason he isnt shafted sooner rather than later is all the money the concusion king is sucking out of the place theres nothing left in the kitty to pay out a sacked coach.

 

Luke Beveridge is safe for another year then the heat is on...

 

Simple Simon Goodwin....how how the fans turn....should learn to make a few god dam changes...stuck with him till next year, well when the team is running good and inproving the coach looks like a god dam magician...when there play like poo Simon stinks....hasnt changed the forward structure for most of the season...come on now 12 games and we cant kick over 60 points... Now May and Leaver back along with a couple of other defenders....your only forward from last year playing well in Bailey Frinch has been playing defence from about round 14 of last year, you dont need a Masters Degree to know he should have went forward last week...and stay there...And get Tom Mac into defence to get him in to some form...Safe as a bank but would wanna move on up next year.

 

Don Pyke....a resurgencs has made him look good again but beware no finals head is on the chopping block...Crows dont suffer ordinariness well.

 

Ken Hinkley is my tip for one to go, Port are a proud club even less likely than the Crows to put up with ordinariness a top 4 spot is about the only thing that WILL save his ass.....

 

Leon at GWS....ummm no play GF maybe no Leon next year...comes down to if they can find a suitor mark my words he isnt safe at all.....

 

Ross Chooks mate is safe for a year or more though he should explore his coaching options if he wants to hang around long term...still has a little credit left in tank...but its running down fast...

 

Longmire is loved.....so much even North would like him to come home...

 

Scott is safe as your money in the bank....

 

Hardwick has the flag from 2017 he has 3 years credit...1 left after this year...Tigers are well known to cut like a knife and you can expect it.....

 

Stu Dew and he should have been the Demon coach...the tubby fella is doing alright i like him....shame Swans wouldnt let him go at the time...

 

Fagan and Buckley....safe as a truck loaded with gun powder driving on a lone country road in Iraq...one hick up and up it goes...

 

Adam Simpson won the flag last year and has 3 years credit up his sleeve....

 

Clarkson...well he started it didnt he? family club turn to mercenaries and it hasnt worked.....Kennet....if you lived in Victoria you would know what Kennet is like....he has a long dagger.....20 inches.....in his back pocket......and he uses it.....Dout the Hawks will be so active in FA this seasons end its back to youth for them...

 

Im tipping M Voss to get a job this year....and since he is alread at Port hey no need to be moving interstate Hink should be lookingover his shoulder from noon....

 

I like the idea of Brad Scott to go to the Blues...shown he is next to usless...Blues were on top for along time nice to see them down there with the Dees....

 

North? who would want to coach them? This is the year of the recyled coaches a couple of assitants and a couple WILL get recycled....yep 4 to go down.....

Friday started Thursday night......Crows keep on chugging a long....Tigers are a sick looking 2017 version, now who was calling for Tex's head just 2 weeks ago? Loyd was one of them, he I put in the same class as Dave King the ex hack North man and worst Fox commentator going around....Fox should get Slater who does the Socceroos games to take over...never mind....Tex was WOW last night...299 kgs comes crashing in from behind and boy he got off the ground too....Thats what the Dee's need...TEX...go get him boys....he will make you stand taller and make Matty Loyd look smaller...And the jerka Jenkins...mountain man....2 gorillas in the forward line wasn't he good? To think they dropped little Mac over his performance  on the big Jerk....mate you can't wrap your arms around the fella he is so wide....

 

Friday starts the day with Don Trump referring to the Prince of Wales as the Prince of Whales....you have to laugh dont you? https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/donald-trump-calls-prince-charles-the-prince-of-whales-on-twitter/news-story/c7083d3948abada8881a3ee249b2722e  At least he keeps us on the edge of our seats hey, the stock market looking more like Saint Kilda's Luna Park's Big Dipper, aircraft carriers in the gulf one day reducing troop numbers other days lifting them on the sly...all good stuff....just shifting them around...Fracking shale deposits and electric cars is a long term strategy to to under mine petro $$$ in the Middle East....and Donald is you're man.....dont see the Republicans looking to unseat the guy so thats telling you something...Might be an idea for the Dee's to hire Donald as a consultant after his times up in the White House, a Kennet type surly WILL keep them slackers on there toes...

Demons in my time have never been a team like say the Bombers who when there asses are on the line they find something and come on out and win...nope never...we had to import our hard men...Brent Croswell from North he was already past his prime by then.....and of course Carl Ditterich and what a game he played once....at the G following the record score the Lions kicked against us out at arctic park (Waverly) that still stands.....playing 5th placed Essendon and we were like typical poo team of the 80's....Walters kicked out first 6 goals straight in the first quarter if my fading memory serves me well...finished with 7...meanwhile Carl at a whopping great height compared to everyone else ran around the ground with his elbow out stretched taking red and bald heads along the way...Bombers well shell shocked and never recovered and mainly to a fierce Carl....he made sure of that...even the umps were sympathetic to us after the week before as Carl didn't get reported....yes I was at both games.....it was a long drive home from Waverly when you got pumped by 32 goals....lot of tension was relived at the G that day thanks to Carl....

 

https://www.the42.ie/paddy-jackson-diageo-sponsorship-guinness-4681549-Jun2019/ And in Ireland today but the story is from England.....Guinnesss ends a 27 year sponsorship deal with London Irish Rugby team for recruiting an Irish international who had been acquitted of rape in a trail last year....thought you innocent until proven guilty.....but wait for it....Cash Converters was also a sponsor ended there sponsorship last week.....can you believe it? Cash Converters preaching??????? mate every druggie and crim in Australia fence stuff there....and then to add insult to injury they mark up the prices to ridiculous levels for old shit......my nose goes up when I have to walk past one of there stores...a blight on the landscape....

 

https://www.thejournal.ie/capuchin-gay-comments-4681262-Jun2019/ Folua or how ever you spell his name is not alone.....then again we could call the Friar a pedophile couldn't we?    https://www.thejournal.ie/priest-new-york-courts-4679359-Jun2019/ and more on the clergy...oh boy the pope will be jumping and down this morning...

OK gents

 

What did you think of Stratton's pinching?

 

I thought it was disgraceful, even worse from a captain.

If he did that 20 years ago, he'd still be looking for his teeth.

 

Pinching is a reportable offence and he did it multiple times.

Time for the AFL to make a statement methinks.

 

A huge fine or a suspension.
