I never got Live, always thought they were absolutely average.

while Divvy I side Lekkas Tribute stumbled for the third time in four weeks and now Mattee is two games behind his son in what must be an embarassing convo around the dinner table.

Yes, yes it is...

I think this weekend's quote was "Gee Dad your team is going rubbish" Don't stand for that shit......extra carwash or lawn mow should put a stop to that [emoji6]

I coach his School footy team. Laps....

Hit an 80 at Murray Bridge on Sunday, hit it very inconsistent but snagged a couple of birdies which cut the damage down.

Officially down to 10 (10.5 to 10.1). Only 0.7 to go to get that elusive single figure. Best I've got to is 9.6.

Will dominate. Great pickup for Creeks.

Cheers for these write ups REB, Cam loves it! He backed up last weeks win in Hogg V by taking care of me again this week in a public league.

Hope he doesn't expect pocket money this week.

I umpired a couple of year 2/3 internal scratch matches at our kids primary school over the past 2 weeks, then got thrown in the deep end and umpired a year 4/5 half time game at South v Eagles last Saturday at Hickinbotham.

Extremely tough, particularly as the 2/3s dont tackle whereas the 4/5s do. Additionally the lack of zones meant I had an AFL like maul at many ball ups.

14 minutes of game play and I had a serious sweat up. Also got $20 for my efforts... not sure I could do it for a living!

Sick of teams having career weeks against me REB!!

Played Blackwood on Sunday- Cold, and areas of bog, but the greens still quick.

Hit the ball solidly enough but the short game was horrible. 24 points and I'm sure the Hcp is heading back out!
Hows the Driver?

Going OK. Remarkably consistent (forgiving), but still haven't found the middle as much as I'd like.

Still fiddling* with setup etc.

Cam Bros had the same scenario as above- I used Ahern to loophole Mitchell late Saturday night for him (as he doesnt understand the loophole still).

Find out Ahern is in halfway through the second quarter, how am I gonna explain this to him?

I tell him 'sorry mate, I put Ahern as your captain so you would get Mitchell as captain score, but now he is playing' expecting a disappointed response.

"Dont worry dad, I changed C back to Gawn this morning on your phone when you were sleeping in".

Cheeky bastard!

How was the day?



Hey mate- was great. Very lucky with the weather, and even more lucky when they revealed the Session Ale cans amongst the beers!

Course was good- some tough bunkering on some holes, greens receptive to good shots, and putting was tough!

We were up and down as a group- managed 6 birdies (good) but also 5 bogeys (bad!). Just all too inconsistent with ball striking through the day.

Compounded when we played the (18th?) coming back into the clubhouse with drinks on the line and I carded a double bogey to shout the lads.

Certainly be willing to attend again!

Being made the 70th Life member of your football club and having no idea it was going to be announced!!

Shocked and extremely proud!

USA holiday coming up in 17 days..... cmon already!!

How a poster here gets his own place in the US @Booney:

Mate- drive if you are in the USA and have time- see so much more. Petrol cheap as chips, get a fuel guzzler.

Just got back from 5 weeks away- our itinerary was Dallas-Kansas City-St. Louis-Nashville- Atlanta-Orlando-Tampa. Then flew back to Dallas for 2 days before returning. Even with 2 (albeit good travellers) kids 8 and 5 it was fantastic.

Finally, the respect I crave.

I mean deserve, yeah, deserve.

Apt respect I reckon:

Maybe thats my chance of breaking 80

Definite chance MT, was one of the first places I broke 80...

Played Lady Bay last Sunday morning, first hit in a while.

Was blowing fairly hard, started well with a couple of pars.

Hit the ball pretty well, but found MULTIPLE bunkers throughout the round, including a couple of fried eggs in the bunker faces... Ahhhhh

Hit 29 points off 11. Was pretty happy considering I didnt really hole a putt of note.

Course in good nick, obviously dry. Have thinned the rough a bit too.

The Balcony afterwards is a thing of beauty with an almost 180 degree coast view.

Kudos to Simon in the pro shop too- gave us the 12+ player discount despite us having 11 players- $9 a head saving.

Speaking of Ambrose- we are in the Lake Albert 4 ball Ambrose on 10th Feb. Cant wait.

Great day run by a great crew. Entry form here:

Get a team of 4 and stay in the caravan park. Great weekend.

The parlous state of modern "music".

Don't @ me with "You're old, get with it man", today's music is ******* shit. I tuned into the Hottest 100 on Sunday from number 30 odd to number 12 or so, it's ******* shit. Depressing, melodramatic, shit.

One strum of a guitar, wail some painfully incomprehensible bollocks, beat a synthesized drum once or twice, strum again, wail some more, ******* repeat.

I love music, I can picture myself in numerous settings listening to numerous genre's, from metal to hip hop to rock'n'roll to dance to classical and anywhere in between. But this shit these deconstructed smashed avocado with GF bread, skinny almond milk latte, beard balm using, jeans ripped at the knees with no ******* socks and out of shape cheap fedora with stupid sunglasses from a dress up store wearing clowns listen to is crap.

Don't @ me with "You're old, get with it man", if one, just one artist could get inspired enough to use a 2/4 or 4/4 beat in a track, perhaps make some sense so I can at least under stand them then I'll get on board.

DON'T @ ME!

Sometimes they go hand in hand - drug problem develops from their mental health problems.

Or vice versa.

Keen to have a look at The Dirt (Motley Crue story) when it airs.

Fella at Flaggy on Sunday hit a 63 off Scratch for 45 points... Reckon I had 63 chips...

I thought about it, then just went the $180 rear oval GA.

Got The Premo GA for $260 today. Got a few months to pay em off

Attending the Adelaide Oval to watch your team beat the Crows. Especially sharing it with your son. Good times.

The staff at the Woman’s and Children’s hospital, absolutely unbelievable the job they do with the amount of staff shortages they have I can not speak highly enough of them.

My daughter had a procedure done yesterday, was meant to be 25-30mins but she was under the knife over 2 hours needless to say I was a mess not knowing what was happening, but the care they took with her was amazing even to the point where the starlight foundation gave a follow up call this morning to see how she was doing! Just on the starlight foundation I was of the understanding they were just for cancer patients, but they were in the waiting room and took time out with every child in the waiting room.

On a side note I don’t care how big and tough any bloke thinks they are, go in to the woman and children’s hospital and try not to break down, absolutely heart breaking the scenes you see in there, I had to walk outside numerous times to gather my self together. Kids simply don’t deserve some of the shit life dishes up it’s a cruel world :(

The shit we worry about and get angry amount is ridiculous when i see the scenes i seen yesterday.

Yep. Having worked in many paediatric oncology units around Australia I can confirm a lot us have very minor problems... Seeing 5 year olds walking around with no hair, drips inserted and playing around with a smile on their face is unbelievably humbling. Lost it one day when one of these little ones came in and offered me cookies she had baked. Tearing up now just thinking about it.

Helps when I dont put the 'E' on the loophole bench. FFS.

Nice thread.
Have had a few run-ins with work travel and such:
Tim Cahill in the Adelaide Qantas Club
Tommy Lee on a flight from Perth- funny guy, wouldn't let me get a photo :(
A lot of AFL teams from various cities
Shane Crawford prior to his run from Adelaide- has plenty of time for everyone.
Most hawks players at training sessions in Melbourne over the years have been nothing short of awesome with my little fella.
Pennywise- snagged backstage passes to their most recent tour. Brilliant blokes who genuinely chatted to you about anything. Talking parenting with one of my punk idols (Jim) over a beer was surreal (see image)
Saw a few stars at a red carpet event in Hollywood back in 2006, including the late Robin Williams (was the launch of 'Man of the Year')

Sure there are some more..

...the game. Losing more interest in the top flight personally. Used to watch 3-4 games a weekend, now I tune in to the Hawks games where possible and that is about it.

Even my young fella is asking when NFL is back on, and he is an AFL lover.

Get the full cap back = extra $35k to spend, plus Captain has left, plenty of space on Brighton Rd.

Jesse White I assume wasn't playing for free either.
