Pre game - Cod, Malt Shovel, Brownies, Griffin, Albert, Parkers. Post game - Taxi back to the coast and home to sulk straight after the game if things don't pan out. Blasted round town and taxi to the coast Saturday AM if we do the biz. Fine margins.

Hey hey sphincter - I watch on Fox Sports live. Great news is that it'll be 10pm for KO so will be such a laugh before I go to bed. Will have won enough money to buy a house on Poorhouse Lane.
The beach house is self sufficient as the cleaners and security keep an eye on it. Melbourne is having a beautiful Indian Summer as it was 28c last night when I got home after watching tennis at Melbourne Park.
Long way from the delights of Wyndham St in the 70s

He was only 20/21 at the time of the accident - astonishing strength of character.

Will be difficult given that we have more first choice players out than them, but we have to play the challenging hand we've been dealt and get on with it.

ZZZzzzzz that 17 is easy strong enough to beat rovers, challenging hand we’ve been dealt , what at home against an average rovers team , could be a lot worst

There's nothing easy when you're missing your full back, winger, 2 props and back rower. Playing 2 18 year olds in any Derby is a risk but one we need to try and mitigate.

We’ve our 1,5,10 missing from our first 13 squad numbers, considering Ellis, paea, Connor and manu ain’t in that 13 , seems pretty strong to me , hardly a bad hand we’ve been dealt , plus the young full back as looked more than capable , our starting 5 as retired and not played this season , so not really sure we could be really to much stronger at this time of the year
