Compulsory voting.

Drove 45 seconds to polling both...…lined up for 15 seconds....voting took another 30 seconds, grabbed the free snag on offer on the way out.
That's not my issue,
my issue is forcing thousands of people to make a HUGE decision but they don't know nor care how to vote/why they're voting.
To top it off, the "side" that got the most votes lost!
Very confusing!
The beauty of the system is that while it is compulsory to turn up to vote, the choice to cover your ballot slip completely with crude drawings of dicks is entirely your choice. Vote 1 Cock and Balls!

The Roosters go on their merry way. After this week's bye they'll play the Redlegs at home, and a win will see them start the season with a victory over every team. Conversely the Bloods get two chances to avoid going zip-7, starting with the Panthers this week.

Can’t argue with that. We didn’t perform like we wanted to as I mentioned on here that day. Never hidden from it.

But Imagine losing to that side in the finals with the best young kid in the country.

58 years
The best young kid and Joel Cross....

... and right on the stroke of 12 the power goes out in the office. Thankyou weather gods, for granting me an early escape.

Round 9 complete, and now all the dinkm teams have played each other once. The Roosters have put all other teams to the sword, while the Bloods are yet to pop their cherry. In fact, the Pure Ladder (tm) exhibits perfect equilibrium: Each team has beaten every team below it, and lost to every team above it. In this sense, West is doing just as well as North! 8)

Won all 4 quarters. How long has it been?

And more surprisingly, the eagles lost the free kick count at woodville...

Only one game this week. Interesting that seven broadcast it, instead of the eastern-league game on at the same time, or the inconsequential scratch match at Richmond. Wonders will never cease.

The Doggies have pulled the Eagles back from the leading pack, now trailing by 2 games and percentage. With only 6 games remaining the sprint to the coveted Pure Minor Premiership (tm) is turning into a two horse race.

Glenelg the only real threat to the Roosters' grasp on the Pure Minor Premiership (tm), still in second place despite not having played a credible game in 3 weeks.

A mate of mine was on a tour at a buddhist temple in Thailand when he got the urge. The toilet at the temple was a simple hole in the ground, no water, no paper. The only thing in the toilet besides the hole was a statue of the Buddha.

So he wiped his arse on that.

Norwood by 11 points and Wedgie to drink the most :partyman:
Be interesting, the missus is doing dry July and I'm trying to be supportive but if previous trips to Norwood are any indication you could be right. ;)
What I take away from reading the above, is that Wedgie's missus is designated driver... :partyman:

That that ladder has 2 teams too many.

Absolute different laws for the LPRs!

Two free kicks in the back and holding the ball yeah Nah it’s the Eagles…
HTB interpretation is comically one sided.
Perhaps they think this is Woody oval?

One for spelly - have the Bays ever held the Eagles scoreless in a quarter?

Wedgie - breeze strong, definitely favouring southern end, Bays will have it in the third.

If it was like the old system the PAPs would have whinged that one or two of those players were not getting league exposure and/or being played out of position, and insisted that they be transferred mid-season to another SANFL club ... then the Magpies would have put up their hands to be the receipient. The ol' "reserves side by stealth" manoeuvre.

I agree the integrity of the league is completely comprised but don't think Port have a performance 'benefit' given the fact neither AFL club has won a flag in how many seasons.
By the end of 2013 Port was arguably the worst performed team in the SANFL. Had the longest finals appearance drought and longest finals win drought, IIRC.

After 2014 the team wearing the former Magpies guernsey made 3 of the next 6 Grand Finals, being within 6 points of the premiership cup in 2 of those matches.

Coincidence?

Part of the EBA or whatever you want to call it between the league and players.

Might have had a split round staggered over 2 weeks.

North now effectively 2 games clear on top (given percentage differences) with 2 rounds to go. Better prompt the fat chick to start practicing her arias, she'll be in full voice next week when the Roosters claim their maiden Pure Minor Premiership (tm). Meanwhile Westies have their first win over a dinkum team in one and a half seasons, sparing them the ignominy of a winless pure season.

Big day in the garden yesterday. Lawns needed a mow and the nature strip was a mess, enough sunshine to dry that all out and mowed down. The winter weeds had taken over the garden beds so they either got pulled up or hit with some glyphosate.

Then I hit the veggie patch, it was full of weeds so that got cleaned up some Seasol ( my brother is the state rep - very handy ) soil wetter and bio char got turned through ready for planting up in the next few weeks. Very productive day on the acreage.
I rate port fans starting the spring gardening well before September. ;)

You're a man of knowledge wedgie
Bloody good effort by our boys this week
Fantastic effort by your lads today mate, could have easily have knocked us off at our home ground if not for a but of luck/umpiring.
We had top spot to play for.
West were very impressive today.
That ^ exactly describes West's game at Glenelg in round 9 this season. The Bloods are a far better team than their ladder position suggests.

The nephew told his mum he felt crook and asked for a RAT.

When he returned it, the control line was red, but the positive line was suspiciously blue....

The little bugger drew it himself so he could get out of school.

Congrats Roosters, Pure Minor Premiers (tm), clearly the best performed team in games between evenly matched dinkum teams.

Norwood playing for everyone East of the CBD, North playing for everyone North of the CBD and the Crows playing for West Lakes?
Crows playing with themselves.

**** me, there's a bloke at the District at the casino wearing a Norwood and Crows scarf.
I won't even go into why he has two opposing teams scarves on but WTF is he doing here and not at Adelaide Oval?
Stuff me, there's some weirdos around.
LOL, my missus just told him he's weak as piss. :lol:
Sad when someone from North England has a better understanding of footy in this state than a local Crows wanker but not surprising.
if we cross paths during the finals, remind me to buy your missus a beer.

Thankyou Roosters, for doing your bit to make this year's Grand Final watchable.

Now its up to the Redlegs to seal it.

"FUGLY" is a valid guess in Wordle.

I was rather hoping she'd make it to 100. I wanted to see if she'd get a telegram from herself.

On behalf of the greater SANFL support base, I thank Norwood for ensuring that next week's Grand Final will be both meaningful and watchable.

Poor Lachie Wilsdon has now played in a couple of obscure grand final losses. This one on the weekend plus he was part of a SANFL 2016 maccas cup grand final in which Glenelg kicked a goal after the siren to a ball that bounced past about 10 roosters.
Not important but wasn't it a point.

Our stupid out dated trading hours for retail stores on public holidays.
No wonder the other States take the piss out of us.

I understand why we still have them but it’s time for change, surely!

BREAKING: New shop trading laws pass #saparli.
- Retailers will be able to open from 9am instead of 11 on Sundays.
- Trade until midnight in the 3 days before Christmas.
- Boxing day shopping in suburbs.
- Likely to come into effect from Sunday 6 Nov.

Still f*cked for your chops on public holidays amber_fluid :D

Oh wow, excellent, the kids and I get to see even less of Mrs G now.
People who cant wait 2 ******* hours for a shop to open on Sundays can kiss my ass.

People pulled over on South Rd near my place to look at it :roll:

A bit before 9 PM, there was a young lady wearing dark clothing in the twilight, standing in the middle of Marion Rd traffic pointing her mobile phone towards the eclipse. :roll:

Looks bloody magnificent!
Looks to be mostly pinnies, and post-80s era at that, which is a shame ... but I could nonetheless while away a few hours in the place in sublime happiness.

I was in Oklahoma City a few years back. There was an '80s themed bar, done up in '80s decor, pumping '80s music, and with dozens of '80s era video arcade machines lined up along the wall from the front of the joint to the very back, all free to play. I was in heaven ... though you might have been disappointed 'coz I don't think they had Wonder Boy ;)
