Actually I think the above post IS worthy of its own thread. Hasn't the "little bloke" himself said he'll wait till the season is done, just like every other year?
Yeah but you don't take Boomer's word for it if you're the media. What would he know, right?

Has anyone seen the massive billboard of the new woollen AFL guernseys at Macaulay station? Shows about ten team's guernseys but is missing the royal blue and white. 1km from our home ground. What a bummer.

Youngest is in Cabrini in Malvern for spinal surgery.

We are staying right near Chadstone Shopping Centre and went to the "Build-a-Bear" shop to make her an overpriced bear to cuddle. They had footy outfits for the bears, as well as Star Wars and lots of others. I bet you can guess which is the only team missing.........

That is a disgrace. In the old days the sight of alien clubs' jumpers adorning a billboard in our neck of the woods would be "cleansed" asap by the Flemington and North Melbourne public housing street justice crew.

Hopefully because it's sold out!

All the best to your little one mate. It must be bloody hard sitting around waiting to hear how the surgery went while you're little one's going through such trauma.

North Melbourne Aaron Mullett can get a new contract (in a week where he is axed from the team) ... ... surely, surely Brent Harvey can. The North people holding out on the little champ are looking really silly and inexplicably bitter right now. Time to end this standoff. Now. Before Boomer actually will explore the outside offers, which will come.


Barrett.... you're an idiot.
Damo will be having an aneurysm right now. Next weeks article:

Yeah. Was a bloody long day yesterday watching the clock tick backwards. Thanks mate! :)

Forgot to add in the important bit - went well. They are pleased with it. 24hrs in ICU then 7-10 days in the Children's Ward. Six weeks before she is back at school part-time. Her main issue (even though she's a Bombers supporter) is she is already missing going to the footy with me.

That is completely unacceptable.

Thank f*** she didn't receive the ultimate in bad prognoses..............."2 weeks", which is akin to terminal.

Good to see anyway JD. :thumbsu:

Did the ladder predictor. Tried to be dispassionate.

1. Freo
2. Hawthorn (nice little run they get to finish the season)
3. WC
4. Swans
5. Dogs
6. Richmond
7. Geelong
8. North

If 5-8 are all Vic teams it doesn't really matter where you finish within those slots.

So first final would be North vs Dogs. Would hope in that scenario our finals hardening would prevail.

I'd be confident against any of Rich, Dogs and Geelong.
Wouldn't be confident after that.

After reading so many references to Tender Touch on this board from esteemed fellows like Zondor and naturally north, curiousity got the better of me tonight and I decided I needed to find out if this place is real or mythical. I was happy to learn from Google, that the legendary Tender Touch does, in fact, exist in west melbourne. What really surprised me is that people go online to share their experiences of such places.

Having read aforementioned reviews, I can advise anyone interested in attending Tender Touch that it has, reportedly, undergone somewhat of an asian transition, many people recommend the services of Yuki, prices remain at $105 per 30 min f/s and the pillow cases are now clean

I have a few questions for anyone qualified to answer:
1. Would people be more inclined or less inclined to avail themselves of Yuki's services now that she has been so frequently recommended?
2. What unit of measurement is f/s?
3. If the pillow cases are now clean, what were they before and what impact would this have on patron experience?
