More to the point, it was at a Pies function, where everyone at the restaurant were ex Pies players, or are Pies members.

And, it was take two.


I feel dirty defending Eddie . I’m going to go take a shower.

Sometimes being a martyr to the truth can feel that way ... and mobs tend to suck at nuance!

Strangely the Eddie you see with his 'mates' with a few under the belt seems to be the same Eddie you see fronting shows on the TV.

Can't see how that'd be easy to put up with.

I just love that when you google “Carn”, this is the dictionary definition.

It is an omen.

Big win to Fitzroy in the VAFA B division preliminary final today, which not only puts the Roys into the Grand Final, it also earns promotion to Premier Division for next season. Carna Roys!

by Tim Paine here when discussing Ben Stokes’ decision to come out of retirement:

Costelloe: “Why can’t he change his mind? There have been so many people who have retired and come back. What’s the difference?”

Paine: “I don’t like that either.”

Costelloe: “Have you got a chip on your shoulder about Ben Stokes?”

Paine: “No I don’t. I couldn’t care less. It’s got nothing to do with him.”

Costelloe: “What if things suddenly change in your life?”

Paine: “I didn’t like it when Mal Michael

did it either, forced his way out of Brisbane to Essendon.”

Haha it was a dog act in 2006 and still remembered now.

We can always change the 04 to 23 at a pinch - we'll have a new original WEG 15 years after he passed.

Flew to Ho Chi Minh overnight, landed this morning. Got through customs, and ran in to another bloke wearing his Lions polo as well.

Just something random.

Did you get your regular seats at the pub to watch the game?

No unfortunately.

Stayed home and watched it on ABC International. The misses wasn’t keen on me going to watch it in the city when we only landed 9 hours prior.

 

[Quested]

I can't see any specific Brownlow thread, but just wanted to put somewhere that while I feel very sorry for N Daicos if he misses out, Lachie absolutely deserves this after the Cripps debacle and the criticism he received in the media this year for playing a more team focused role.

 

[KissKiss]

Reckon Bont will pick it up with the love for their midfield and not much other competition from his own team.

Butters and Naicos probably then just ahead of Neale.

Well done twist at the end there...

Demon tests positive to cocaine after home and away game

AFL statement on Joel Smith

The AFL has released a statement on Melbourne player Joel Smith

www.afl.com.au

The AFL confirms that a mandatory provisional suspension (which is effective immediately) has been imposed on Melbourne FC player Joel Smith following notification to him by Sport Integrity Australia of an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) and a potential violation of the Australian Football Anti-Doping Code (Code).

It is asserted that a sample provided by Smith during an In-Competition doping control test on 20 August 2023 returned an AAF for the presence of Cocaine and its metabolite Benzoylecgonine being a Prohibited Substance under the Code.

Smith was tested after the Round 23 Melbourne vs Hawthorn game on Sunday August 20, 2023 and was notified by Sport Integrity Australia last week in relation to the finding. The AFL was made aware of the test results at the same time.

The matter is now progressing in accordance with the Code, initially involving further investigation by Sport Integrity Australia supported by the AFL.

In the interim Smith will not be part of Melbourne’s football program.

The AFL is unable to make any further comment at this time.

 

[M Malice]

7 disposals, 2 goals, 2 marks and 3 tackles in that game for Joel Smith... not really up and about.

More random than football related ... I just read a comment from a moderator that said that 'teal deer comments' were not acceptable. Teal deers? What is/are/how can a deer even be colour teal????

Googled it ... ah ... teal dear ... TLDR ... too long didn't read.

Not sure if I feel like have learned something or have lost a few more precious brain cells!
