Gunna have to meet the T60 in person one day.
I'm picturing Elvis meeting Nixon, but it's really gunna be Ford and George Harrison.
Will send a transcendental Hare Krishna all the same.......

Although he seems to be on the path to Ballarat for this weekend... so he is coming down off the mountainThy doesn't travel.
It's an effort for him to come on down from the mountain to the MCG & Etihad!
Over the years many players have left the Blues and joined other teams. I reckon the first I remember was Bruce McMaster Smith who crossed to St Kilda in the mid-60s. The first time at Moorabbin and the game's close and a bloody Carlton man slots the winning goal for the Saints.
There have been plenty over the years and I've certainly embraced a few blokes from other teams who have travelled the other way. I've loved the guys who have been discarded and enjoyed success at Carlton. The last flag included Spalding, Pearce, Rice, Clape, Manton, Madden and Hogg.
The new century has thrown some strange defections into the mix. No longer are the players discarded they leave willingly and it is this aspect that throws me out of whack. Why would you want to leave the greatest football club in the land?
Today really hurt! The bloke wearing number 18 for the Crows. WTF got into his head.
Cant recall a match that I have seen when one of our big name ex-players has really destroyed us in a match, I might need to think a bit harder and I am sure someone will remind me of a game or 2.
Dont think Hamill hurt us a great deal when he played us, Fev didn't and Russell certainly didn't and is not really a big name anyway, Josh Kennedy maybe at times (cringe when I see him take a contested mark), Camporeale no, Beaumont ??, Jacobs ??
Others like Jezza, McConville, Sheldon, Marcou, Kourkoumelis etc were not in a great team and were never going to hurt us.
Dont think the following have hurt us too much either but am happy to be corrected -
Matthew Allan, Simon Minton Connell, Peter Sartori, Warren McKenzie, Mark Porter, Shaun Grigg (definitely not), Brent Heaver , Setanta O'hailpin (but did play well), Justin Murphy, Bret Thornton, Peter Rohde.
Thats about all I can remember, maybe a few older posters can give some views from the 70's or prior...
I do get this horrible feeling that Eddie Betts is going to cause us some serious concern though !!!!
Please, God no, dont jinx us Wookie !!wait til Hammer fires up in round 2...
Please, God no, dont jinx us Wookie !!
I couldn't stand it if one of our former players hurt us playing for Richmond....
Yep but cant see him getting a ton for Richmond either, Imagine what your life would be after 100 games with Richmond, you would end up in the nut house !!got the mrs pregnant now too old hammer. didnt get to 100 games for us though so who cares
Take a double dose tomorrow & then you will be in really good form.Very superstitious. By nature I have a number of circumstances that I like to avoid. Black cats and ladders are examples that don't concern me greatly. I'm more concerned when someone leaves an umbrella open when inside.
I'll let you in on the evil Magpie Lark aka the Pee Wee. On game day I try not to notice the little black and white bird because to see one is bad luck and likely to end in defeat for the Blues. If I see two then I'm over the moon because two is good luck and a Carlton win.
I forgot my medication today
