Beer talk.

Monteith's Pale Ale is delicious when you first open it but gets worse with every sip. Much prefer a White Rabbit or a 150 Lashes.

Rare for a beer to do that! Must be a poor drop.

Currently drinking Fat Yak Original Pale Ale. Just a classic Monday evening beer.

Having another now, I reckon it might have been a bad bottle. Much nicer, this one.

The Fat Yak is delicious. Normally have it on tap.

No because Schwabb was still there

Everyone please be quiet.

I'm in very poor shape. The Brownlow count looked a bit dull so I think I drank along with it to liven things up. I don't even know who won though I'm assuming Danger was up there. Owwwwww! Going back to bed.

Anyone here watched that doco called "The Final Draw" about the 2010 GF that just came out. It is very well constructed and it really draws you into relieving that afternoon not just through your own eyes as you remember it, but also through the players. Easily the best AFL doco i've ever seen, better than the "chosen few" or the "final story" which are all fine works from the same guy. Honestly i got lost in it watching it, hats off the creator and people who worked hard on it

As some of you may have gathered I am into my fishing, I also love kayak fishing hence the username. Anyway, I am active on a couple of forums and came across this little story from a fellow yakker that may brighten your day

Enjoy


A while back I was buying a slab from the Local Dan Murphy's, bought the slab and chucked it in the tray of my ute. All good except when you pull out of Dr Dans here to get back to my place You have to pull out the drive way across 2 lanes of traffic to get in right turn lane to do a Uey at the lights.
So here I am waiting for the lights to change when I hear a bip of a horn behind me, lights still Red but I look in the side mirror and here is this bloke with a slab of Gold cans on the Medium Strip who makes a dash across the 2 lanes of traffic, this prick has just knocked off my slab out of my ute, lights still Red and heavy traffic but **** it, this prick isn't getting away with this, I put my hazard lights on jump out of my ute and start chasing this bloke across the road, he's got a bit of a head start on me but I am making ground up quickly as he's running with a slab. I get to the other side of the road and yell oi, that's my slab ya @#$%, still chasing him, well he must have seen the look on my face and shit himself cos he dropped the slab and took off, cranky that my beers gonna be all shook up but happy I got my slab back. So picked it up and started walking back to my ute where you guessed it there is a line of Irate cranky drivers behind my ute, I thought well they would understand I mean after all the bastard stole me slab of piss. So as I'm walking back with a bit of a proud swagger cos this bastard didn't get away with my slab. So as I get closer I notice something yellow in the back of the ute. My slab was still in there. Faaaaark I've just mugged some poor bastard for his slab. Gee I felt like a @#$%! So now I got to deal with a mob of angry drivers, so I lied and said that some bloke stole one of my slabs out the back which softened them a little. So I wait for the lights to change and drove off looking for the poor bastard I took the slab from, no luck couldn't see him anywhere, either that or he saw me and was hiding. I felt pretty bad about it and didn't tell anyone what had happened until recently. People I told reckon he must have stole the slab from somewhere as why else would he have dropped it? Unless a cranky 17 stone bearded bald man chasing you had something to do with it. I have since started putting my slabs in the vehicle rather than in the tray.

Stone and Wood Pacific Ale will be going around at my joint Saturday before a few spiced rums to finish.

Anyone watch The Footy Show last night? I watched some of it, mainly to see the player revue. I thought it was the best revue for years, going back to mainly footballers with no dancing talent hacking it up. Watching Nev Jetta's face a picture of 100% concentration to remember what comes next and Clarry genuinely checking out the dancing girls on stage with him were highlights!

Please tell me the dees have Hunt in the GF sprint tomorrow? Hes a shoe in, if he can run the way hes been running all year

Someone mentioned Oliver was our entry in another thread, so looks like we're tanking - sorry - giving Oliver some extra development.

i thought the player revue yesterday was poo to be honest. They clearly didn't have enough players and had to make footy show presenters to it to fill time

.... aaaaand of course Clayton comes last in the second heat of the GF sprint. Surprised we didnt give Hunt the nod.

While our poor club has not exactly enjoyed Fortune's smile for many years, it could always be worse. After yesterday losing their 9th national final since 1989, spare a thought this morning for the Mayo Gaelic football team. Their tale of woe since they last won the Championship in 1951 rivals that of the MFC, and is commonly attributed to the 'Mayo Curse'. The story goes that on their way back from Dublin the team's celebrations disrupted a funeral procession, whereupon the priest officiating cursed the county's football team, saying they would never win an All-Ireland title until all members of the 1951 panel were dead.

Whatever the truth of the story, Mayo haven't won a title from that day to this, and yesterday they lost yet another final, by a single point. The kicker this year was yesterday's match was a replay, with Dublin, the eventual winners, surviving the first match courtesy of 2 Mayo own goals - for those unfamiliar with Gaelic football, the last time an own goal was scored at inter-county level was in a pre-season competition in 2009, making them an extremely rare occurrence and it's literally unimaginable that a team playing in the national final would score one, never mind two in a half of football. In yesterday's replay Mayo had an opportunity in the 6 minute of injury time to level play with a set shot from 40m, but scuffed the opportunity. While the MFC has struggled with a lot of bad luck and self-inflicted wounds, it could always be worse.

(p.s. there are still two living members of the 1951 panel)

Yes, but our curse is to do with a dead guy. Makes it tough.

Fairytale year.

Leicester.
Cavs.
Dogs.
Sharks.
KC.

Only one that hasn't is NHL with the Pens and NFL (although Philly or Minnesota winning would do it).

Falcons have no D, they'll get wrecked by Seattle in 2 weeks. That said, they'll win the division
