Ok gang

 

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????

 

[AlexRRR]

I gazed into a beer bottle and the bubbles say that Brisie and Bullies WILL drop out for the Hawks sad day that WILL be and Demons....they should sneak in just...

 

Saints to hit the skids and stay where they are, Blue baggers to start a rolling hanging around 8 to 10, the 2 Sth Aussie teams to slip slide even further down....

 

North should swap with Port with Freo a big inprover....

 

Never underestimate the Bombers dear WILL, when backs to the wall they often deliver...

 

Seems a few teams including mine are looking at H Bennell.....well just what the doctor ordered an other hospital case too go with VandenBerg and the rest of them....Were a long way from a premiership play the god dam kids...

[farmerjo]

I can only say Gold Coast won't make the finals.

Every other team is a chance next year.

If Melbourne get Bennell you and Chook can compare notes about hopeless cases.

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.

Mate the far right Christian church is on its way....having PM Mo who is ho I dont know, a church going pollie....it marries in with what's going on in the US and the world in general, all we need its Tr\ump to align with a sect and heaven help us..... The voices are coming from far and wide ....

 

I as you know am a devotee of the NFL...and its a worry when I though last year it was a one off....3 games over the season was devoted to the service men and women on active duty and at home, held high, apluded, etc over 3 looooooong weeks, even the clubs had army fatigue caps and sweat shirts and wearing them with club colours during that 3 weeks....frigging disgrace in my mind....but of course I smile and put up with it and looked into the middle distance, its a real worry to me...that it fools people its another form of propaganda well to my dismay there NFL is in bed with the govement again and there doing it again, so if there football is doing it you bet the baseball and basket ball as well as the soccer is doing it...

 

We been lucky for a long time where sport and politics haven't met in AU...looks like its changing...

 

The Demons are only blue bloods in name...most of the MCC members actually barrack for another club,  we been poo since 1964 the real membership numbers are around 25,364.6, I hate the frigging snow, I dont like getting a wet <deleted>, I also stoped going to church at 16 when my parents stoped forcing me to go....yes I know I went to church school but hey when the parish priest told us we should vote liberal cause they were going to spend money on private schools they lost me forever....

 

Its 1938 all over again....the raise of extremism glad I'm too old to get drafted....
 

[AlexRRR]

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....

 

We should get the Ayatollah down there to bless the lads ....

[AlexRRR]

The chains keep rattling even while Simon and Ricko are away, feelers out for cocaine king banned Pie Sam Murry, scraping the bottom of the barrel with Harry now locked in as a dead cert, lower we go, i mean even Ed wasnt going to offer Sam a new contract once he did his time, desperate people we are, im sure the Saints are intrested too...Bombers and WCE a chance as well....

version while id take the normal version unbenone to him, becasue i couldnt drink it and of course i didnt tell him as i needed to clear the 100 bottles id made of it, so <deleted> and sick he got one night he came over next day and told me he would never drink my beer again....That Kingfisher was similar....very hard on the brain cells and taste buds....the hotel served it up in a 750mm bottle 2 glasses later i was almost off my head...( i did have some other beer and wine too) the TGF at the time didnt drink which was just as well as she needed to get an assignment finnished and emailed that very night to her uni for her MD or she'd blow 18 mths and 200,000B she kept reminding me .....

 

After a spluttering start to the warm weather we got several 30+ days last week to decend into winter like and moonsonal weather not seen here since horse and cart days, sitting on top of my heater as i write, have a watering system to get in before i go away, time is running out but i refuse to do it in the cold.....One thing about living out in the burbs you hardly get to know your neighbours and thats good...im rather anti social to neighbours except for Greg the young neighbour who drank my strong beer, after he got married and moved on the guy who bough his house some old dude use to bail me up and give me the poos when ever he saw me so much so he was the catalist in me buying a block of land and building a new house just to get away from him...directly over the road it now appears to be a single mum maybe mid 30s, baby is now walking and havent seen her dad in at least 6 months, you know hes not coming home when jims mowing does the lawns since spring started...mum is a nice girl always says hi and drives a blue Golf...to my right is another single mum maybe late 40's with teenager son, he likes hip hop...but i can blast him out of the neighbour hood when i wanna party with a beer and and music....the Bose amp is a craker for oump....he listens too hip hop on some antique sytem that sounds like 2 cats scratching on a metal roof....Mum drives a blue Corola...im on a corner so another over the road neighbour is a youngish Indian and as you are aware half is relos live with him and his pretty new wife who has a large backside, i was suprised how good looking she was up close as id only ever seen her from over the road and the backside stuck out as you can imagine, think he likes cricket, they all do dont they? well he moved in about 18 months ago and has never done any gardening, no never, most of his weeds have now died just dry long thingios standing up here and there, i was amused when about 3 months ago with an annoying look on his face he asked me if the council ever sweep the curbs, i afirmed to yes as i had seen the truck at least once which he screwed up his face like a sickeness was about to decended from up high...muttering the street was dirty, i of course was laughing out loud under my breath A becasue i spent 2 weeks in india, and B his garden, he drives well the mrs has it now a Honda accord and he bought a SUV, she had to get her licence he told me in confidnce..... aparently he bought her in from India as a kinda of mail order bride i guess, as you do when your a alien in Australia, he said she was a nurse back home and once she had decided on getting married she would hang up the the thermometer and concentrate on being a good wife and keep the inside of the house clean at least....Well he wasnt having any of that, tall 35ish and handsome he told her she had to get a job....good on him...whats with Asian women? hence the need for her to get her licence as he was getting tired of driving her and picking her up from her work...The guy well this is a funny kinda street set up, he was the first i met when i moved in 2 ys ago, by the way i cant recall any of there names, came to telll me his post often ends up in my letter box, well it hasnt happend more than twice in 2 ys now maybe becasue i repostioned the letter box...maybe...anway a few times we had a chat, around my age son still living at home, very concervative type for sure, hungover with the flu one day and drugged up as i hate pain i guess you could say i looked like i was kinda tripping, im sure he thought so...was giving me all sorts of looks, semi retired too and every morning off at around 6.45 and back around 7, only guessing, he would be the type that hasnt moved into the 2000's and dont want to pay home delivery picks up his HearldSun and some bread for brekkie, i do get a wave from him each time we pass in the car...a Honda SUV, son has a Falcon xr6 ute as well as a poxy mid 70's vintage Ford, the worst looking Fords ever built... only drives it when its sunny...like  my brother...

4 Sussudio Phill Collins, well i do recall singing along with it as it is catchy.,...the strength of the pudding is will you buy it and i wouldnt, Phill Collings lost me a long time ago, he along with Peter Gabriel who has more style, brillant song writer and just way better everything than Phil were in Genesis and both were drummers yep 2 drummer band, the guy from Mike and the mechanics i think was another member, well i read an interview Phil did once where he basicly put it on my hero....how he hid Peters gear one gig so he wouldnt play that night well i assume drums becasue he is a multi instrumentalist as well as awesome singer not to mention gifted songwriter everything Collins isnt....i never liked Phil ever since ....

 

5 We Built this City   Starship, yes the bad songs often are catchy, Starship came from the legandary 60's Jefferson Airplane, moved on into the space age minus all the original members, wasnt a fan of airplane so couldnt careless...

https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-11-03/20yearolds-on-500k-how-the-gold-coast-tax-changed-the-game Suns setting the pace with retention, pillaged like England had been by the Vikings  offering much mula to the untried, well of course its well known in football circles the Suns have been run rather poorly run, the proof is in the pudding, like the Gaints they got the cream of the draft for a few years unlike other clubs failed to hang on to staff....If your run well and at least winning around 50% your going to be able to keep most of your players right?

 

I also back the 3 year deal for rookies, just not 1st rounders but all...I even would go as far as say 3 plus 1 meaning the club could hold them to a 4th, Kelly, Scully they come to light jumping ship after 2 years is bullocks...Only in Australia with a national comp seems we have so many home sick prima donna's, noticed in the world game as well as Gridiron Basketball and Baseball players are happy to get a game anywhere, never seen home sick coming into the reason a player moves clubs overseas....pussys pussys....

 

Seems it was a smart move to off load Hogan last year, foot issues for the tank, more surgery, wont do are pre season until jan.....

 

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2019-11-05/aflw-pocket-profile-sinead-goldrick Sexy Irish addition to Dee's woman team, Goldie....horrible name but hey she's cute looking, nice looking pro sport resume there for Goldie, her favourite au slang word is "snag" , first thing that comes to mind when she thinks of Australia is "sunshine and Coffee" obviously hasn't been in Melbourne long, her fave food before a game and lucky its the night before all carbs for the greyhound is Lasagne and garlic bread....to bad the restaurant Mick sealed Benji's fate closed down, I use to order that there and could have recommended it...

 

Three apps she couldnt live without....spodify....not me I aint paying to stream...yes I know its free tooo, use it to search new music actually, Podcasts...what ever that is, and Instagram...ho there all models have you noticed? she's met Megan Markel, well that makes her an influencer....her hidden talent is Irish dancing....after the whiskeys no doubt, and her guilty pleasure is pizza and coke...not a gram of fat on the lass...so dontknow where she puts it.....

 

I write a lot about the Dee's because there a living joke....no flag since 64, 56 ys......drought ....belted up twice when they did make it, went from contenders to <deleted> kickers in one season.....ahhhh Browns...im reminded...Lost to Elway's Bronco's on the weekend, Joe Flacco owner of the Stingray went down last week for the season....decent QB too, well they had to go to a bit of a journey man in Allen been around a few clubs but never started took the team in Denver to a great win over the Browns, Baker had a bike handle bar mo during the game, seen in press conference after the game the tails had been shaved off....more hair than a gorilla was in total disarray with another loss, golden boy in the red zone last year cant do a thing right this year,( 20 touchdowns in red zone led the league last year)...add the best wide receiver in the world to this years team and its all poo....Baker is off the boil and part of it is the game calling, dont think Freddie is cut out to be head coach...Williams was caretaker coach after week 6 and turned them around, They appointed Freddie as coach cause of his relationship with Baker Mayfield, big mistake, Williams moved on to assist another team....Anyway the Browns have run some top teams hard yet fall to the low lifespan's of the league, still time to turn it around 2-6 at the half way mark but stats dont lie, its looking like Baker will be another one of them QB's here today gone tomorrow.....and I like to know why he dont throw the ball to Odell Beckham Jr more often, took a grab and made it happen when was given the chance, mr magic he is.....

 

Wow just seen the 2020 fixture for the Dee's were starting the season in hell for sure....

 

WCE away

GWS home

Freo home

Saints away

Suns home

Bombers home

Power home

Crows in NT

 

Would not say there is an easy game there when you finished second last, can see 0-4 already... maybe 2-6 after the Crows game...

 

Marco Cruz Victory coach has shed the suite and Tie at games ive noticed for his trekkie and dakkie pants and top, no more Mirrabella embroiled on shirt collar for the world to see.....Rooted by Western United (new expansion club) last week I got all excited when Victory were 2 up 9 min in how far can we go...to loose 2-3....can you believe it?

The old Saints ground is at the beach end of Punt rd, well in Fitzroy st but gees its basically on the corner set in, Lions used it after the Saints spat the dummy and went to the water hole Moorabbin and later the Dee's used it as a train ground, well its claim to fame was the first ever resemblance of a Macdonalds store about a drop punt from the Fitzroy ground, yes you guessed it in Punt rd....was around 1970 Led Zeppelin 4 was very popular in my circle of  friends so that's the era guys....blind as bats coming home from party's in Elwood around 3 am nothing open in those days fellas, Melbourne slept, hungry as young men are after boozing and long before you shouldn't drink and drive, I did an Fj too you know....was this new burger shop....so we popped in....the owner around mid 30s so he would be dead now was beaming with excitement...we order...and he began to fabricate a prefab burger....we look on in astonishment "this fellas ( and I can still hear his words today) is the future for burgers" well there was a conveyer system, hey this is before microwaves, looked something like a min mad mouse from Luna park gizmo anyway the dude was rattling off this and that and eventually produced a burger each for us, we smiled payed and went out into the car to eat them...to say none of use were impressed is un understatement we looked at each other and with mental telepathy thought he wont last.....and he didnt....he certainly was a pioneer and id say lost a lot of money too because he was gone in less than 6 months, 3 ys later Macdonalds was here to stay, early Big Macs were poo big time, could never get use to the cardboard taste you know, took them until the 2000 to come up with a range that us guys who were bought up on greasy burgers could stomach, if and I say if I have to eat at Maccas its often just a bacon and egg muffin, but when I do get a burger which Is like twice a year its the Angus..at least its real meat I think....once I thought id try a build your own burger they introduced to see if I could get a decent feed...well 14$ later it was pretty good but hey never again crazy to pay that amount for a maccas....

Chooks can breath a sigh of relief to know Brett Ratten has seen the light, praise be to the exulted one up high.....https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2020-st-kilda-brett-ratten-carlton-sportsday-brett-ratten-son-alan-richardson/news-story/0f2ac766f60cf4af41bdc937e4eaa697 "dont sweat the small stuff" anymore Rattern says, there is a book going around by that title, my once next door neighbour Greg bought it, on inspection I told him basically it was what Buddism is about, Greg you see had this fantastic friend a female, she stayed over and even slept in his bed...recons they never had sex which I find hard to believe, tall and hunsum and just 30 then if he didnt try she would have im sure...she was ok bit chubby but a great smile and thats what we like dont we? a great smile....I had met her a number of times....Well there friendship went south and very quickly when he teamed up with her after work one Friday and met one of her work buddies, the cutest blonde you ever did see, she the cute blonde and I also hit it off, but in a different way, I did catch up with her a few times after Greg and her finished I had to tear myself away you know...defiantly a connection there for me.....the blonde that is....chubby girls nose got put out of joint when Greg and blondie started seeing each other, dumb fella never realised the only reason chubby girl stayed close was because she was in love with him.,..poor Greg was not ready to loose his best friend yet his sexual desire for blondie wasn't going to give up either....so he kept blondie and the bought book....around this time he meets his future wife, was a work buddies wife sister, well it gets murky here, that buddy when I met him I thought was gay....yet he was married....its getting murky I did say.....had a child too...seems no one but me thought he was gay and it turns out I was right, a year after Greg got married he came out....leaves the wife also a nice looking blonde for his boy friend...the Neighbour didnt go out much though we did do some Irish pubs together and sometimes Blondie came along, we would fill her hand bag with pint glasses....empty of course specifically would go after glasses branded with the beer co on it, we got a nice collection each....I thought at the time $7 for a pint I payed for the glass too....well that was our reasoning to not feel guilty because we were stealing....

 

Greg hardly went out and before I knew him well id notice every now and then some girl would come over on a Saturday night, his night out was always a Friday, after work drinks, with promises of wine and snacks and a dvd he got some honeys to come over...helped he was 6ft 2 hunsum 30 and lived alone....I use to watch in awe with some of the babes that came by including chubby girl with the great smile....Anyway he got married moved to Canberra had a few kids and is happily married for ever and ever...

NOVEMBER 11th.   REMEMBRANCE DAY.   ALL GAVE SOME.   SOME GAVE ALL.

 

In 1915, my grandfather, still just a young lad, signed up with the AIF.   Following training, he was shipped off to Gallipoli where he fought in the frozen trenches.

 

In early 1916, as the campaign failed, he was evacuated to The Western Front in France.   During battle, he was struck in the head by flying shrapnel.   Doctors couldn't (and never did) remove the shard as it was embedded in his skull and too close to  a major blood vessel.   His fighting days were over and he was repatriated home.

 

He survived until the mid 60's when he was involved in a car accident.   The lump of metal dislodged and severed the artery.

 

I have no personal recollection of Pa as I was only a toddler, but my Mum always reminds me that I am the spitting image of her father.    He must have been a very handsome man.  ????

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....
