I like the cover on the Turkish delight

 

[Ochre]

In the absence of Keys I went down for a trundle this morning to check them out on return. Just a few random notes I took down...

• A lot of running work again, clearly a focus even in the heat.
• Duggan looked on and was hitting targets left and right. Set for a huge 2021.
• Giles went up against Vardy in the ruck contests and I'd say that Giles has the inside running at the moment.
• Mitchell looked a class above the other midfielders bar Priddis. Just knew how to find the footy and wouldn't miss a target all session. Shuey was very quiet and seemed to be taking direction from Mitchell. Doesn't bode well for his captaincy credentials, maybe he doesn't want the gig?
• Won't say too much about it in case I was just reading too much into it, but Rioli looked as though he'd enjoyed the Christmas break a bit too much. A few of the coaches pulled him aside and they were having quite an animated conversation before Rioli was sent to do laps for the rest of the session. Good news for Le Cras, I suppose.
• Sheed kicked on his right foot for 80% of the session, I reckon. Nice to see players working on their non-preferred so readily.
• Petrie looked like he was doing a great job 'coaching' the younger forwards in between the drills. Darling in particular seemed to be following him around.
• Gee Venables has some skills. He mainly jogged laps before spending the last half hour or so on set shots - curled a few beauties from behind the boundary line at the end for a bit of fun. Hardly saw him miss a kick.
• What interested me the most was that McGovern split his time between the defenders and the forwards, could be seeing a swingman role in 2017. He was his usual dominant self down back in some match simulation drills before going head-to-head with Mackenzie in a forward role.
• Bayok is very fast - Cripps was in most of the drills with him and couldn't keep up.
• Nelson is pale as buggery and still doesn't really have the body shape you'd expect of an AFL player.
• There was a big bloke who pulled up next to me and I could have sworn it was Suma, but I'm sure I was wrong...
• Masto was the player picked to kick the goal at the end today and nailed it. Celebrations were huge.
• No sign of Cole, Parto or Hill. Couldn't tell you why.

Will upload pics later if I have time. Let me know if you have any questions!

Covering a Throne classic, nice.

Why are you keeping this a secret from everyone.

Personally I prefer the cover of Drive, by Shannon Noll

 

[Boohemian]

Another fantastic cover that deserves to be spoken of more is Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez.

I had tickets to his 20th anniversary Veneer show but completely spaced and forgot about the show.

 

[squashface]

Hardcover is probably the best cover but always way more expensive than softcover.

Hard is generally better than soft

Hey guys, pop an Ambien and read my 4000-word incoherent diatribe that proves how little I care.

Might be the worst take of all from the last few pages

I was talking about tacos. What are you talking about??

If only Trump built walls as impenetrable as Sharpy's text walls

Struggling to think of any scenario where hard isn't better than soft

Socks.

Socks.

 

[THE A5]

this humidity is making me feel so flipping sick. I haven’t been able to get into deep sleep and constantly waking up gasping for air.

Humidity is easily the worst form of weather in existence

 

[Mr Q]

Struggling to think of any scenario where hard isn't better than soft

Beds
Bread (except the crust on crusty bread of course)
Anzac biscuits (I realise this is holy war territory)
Seats in general (along with cushions)?
Butter when you're baking?
Pears
Essendon in finals (it's so so sweet)
Interior of a baked potato
Interior of a shoe (and the sole)
Landings (any sort to be honest)
Icecream
Clothes

You can get air filtering machines for this.
