Note:

First bounce for the women is set down for 2:00pm.

Jump in the time machine: Footscray v Collingwood VFL at Western Oval

Those Doggies' nannas knitting away, ready to give you a little stab when you yelled 'Beasley you w***er!'

That f*ckng wind that always blew hardest when they kicked with it in the last quarter

Hard scrabbled victory then back to Flinders Street for a bag full of potato cakes and an iced doughnut

Back to bed now

Well, I'm not sure about the nannas, but Schache could stand in for Beasley as a target for ire. The wind still blows hardest to the end the Dogs kick in the last. And you can still get yourself a bag of potato cakes and an iced donut at Flinders Street, al beit these days for an arm and a leg.

The more things change...

One day, he's going to genuinely need help getting to a ground and will get lost in the middle of nowhere because he cried wolf one too many times. And I am not going to be there to help him when the Rathtars rip him apart...

jmac70 did you say that there is a good fish and chip shop in the area as I am thinking of going to the game.

jmac70 did you say that there is a good fish and chip shop in the area as I am thinking of going to the game.

There is a decent fish and chip shop in Seddon on Victoria street. Run by a Greek family. Not too far from the ground. Also, The Plough hotel has good food and an excellent selection of beer.
