    Family & Relationships Do I have a chance?

    Based on what you’ve said in your first message, it sounds like you barely know her at all. Then or now. Maybe you’re in love with who you think she is. I’m not suggesting don’t make contact or try to get to know her, but you should put the brakes on your these thoughts of love and “she’s the...

    Definitely worth it. Maybe next year for me! I had a look at the Marine Corps Marathon website. It looks fantastic. I was a big fan of DC when I visited there which was a couple of days before Obama’s first inauguration in 09. It’s crazy to think how different the political landscape is now...

    I did the Two Bays (28km) trail run last weekend. It’s a great event, varied undulating trail (there are steps, limited pavement, mostly dirt trail though with an abundance of rocks and roots) from Dromana over Arthur’s Seat to Cape Schanck. 3hrs 10 min. Elevation gain 860m. Couldn’t have...

    Mate, I’m envious. That sounds amazing. How much did the NYC package cost? That has always been a bucket list item for me. Love the city, been three or four times, and would love to run it.

    The best two days are the day you sign up for the race and the day you complete it. Everything in between is miserable!

    Good point. Missed that. But I think I could make a reasonable argument that they are the one and the same player!

    Draft Expert PMBangers 2023 Draft Thread

    He would definitely go top 10 this year. Maybe top 5. He won the Dragons B&F ahead of Sanders (Login • Instagram) which is a fair effort for an underage kid.

    Draft Expert PMBangers 2023 Draft Thread

    I don’t know his official height but I’ve seen him play live - he looked at least 190cm. The thing is he looked very quick and dynamic for his height. Very explosive and agile. He reminded me of a Jake Stringer (192cm) but better overhead mark than Stringer. If he plays to potential, he...

    Good user and decision maker. And fast. He can find the ball off half back or play lock down role which we saw on Lorenz, Anastasiaopolous and Watson. Won player of the final series for the Dragons which is a massive wrap in that team. I was hoping he would be picked up cheap by the Dogs...

    Seems like we are all doing it tough at the moment. I finished with a 36km run up and down Beach/Beaconsfield Rd on Sat in 3:40 hrs. Yesterday I developed mild cold symptoms and have Covid with a very faint line. It’s extremely frustrating as the symptoms are mild (mild sore throat and some...

    Opinion 2023 AFL Draft Prospects

    Re: N.Caddy. I watched a Knights game earlier in the year and he tore it up that day. He reminded me a bit of Jake Stringer but better overhead. He was in explosive beast mode and quite agile for his height. Agree he may not be big enough for No. 1 KPF but he would be a good 2IC in the...

    Autopsy AFL 2023 Grand Final - Pies vs Lions Sat Sept 30th 2:30pm EST (MCG)

    Great game. Will bet one of the better GFs in AFL era if 4th quarter follows the first three.

    Opinion 2023 AFL Draft Prospects

    I suspect that we will be looking for replacements for JJ, Crozier and Duryea in the next 12-24 months. They are all low to mid 180cm. Williams, Richards, Dale etc. have a few years left.

    Opinion 2023 AFL Draft Prospects

    What do people think Croft will cost us in terms of picks? Do we need another KP Forward? I mean we need to focus on midfielders and defenders in the next couple of drafts.

    Hey fellow running w***er! That sounds like a bit of a challenge. It’s good to see you haven’t given up! A running life can be brutal sometimes! I’m doing Melbourne. My training programme has been very light. One long run on the weekends and one short run each mid week. The reason being is...

    Opinion 2023 AFL Draft Prospects

    Not technically a father-son but thought this was an interesting read from a Dog's perspective. A fast rebound half back flanker with good ball use and a booming kick. Has done good defensive jobs on Nick Watson and Will Lorenz in APS footy which suggests he is up to AFL standard...

    This kid could be late smokey for the draft - a fast rebound half back flanker with good ball use and defensively accountable. He can kick a big goal too. Looks as good as Archie Roberts. FAMOUS FOOTY NAME EMERGES AS DRAFT CHANCE THE SON of former Western Bulldogs chief executive Dennis...

    I’m sorry to hear that, mate. That does not sound like a great experience. Unfortunately, it is the nature of running (and sport generally) that the body can let you down. You need to focus on the positives. You’re a runner ✅ . You signed up for a big running event ✅. You completed it ✅. And...

    A bunch of us on here will be joining you in your quest to conquer the streets of Melbourne. I presume you are talking no. 2s?!?!? Maybe try different fuel in training? And/or have a double espresso an hour before the run? That should induce labour. It’s not the end of the world if you...

    Well, firstly everybody is built different, so you should do what works for you. But for me, I rarely drink fluids in a half. I wouldn’t have any fuel either. But I tend not to run in conditions over 25 degrees and I’m not super fast (PB around circa 1:45 and now more like circa 1:55). In...

    Welcome to the thread mate. Others have already covered it but I will say it again, my advice is: 1. Do not get carried away and go out too hard early. Have a plan, stick to it early and you can make gains in the last 5-7km if you feel good. 2. No surprises on race day. If you intend to...
