What clues does Shakespeare give along Macbeth's "way to dusty death"? (7,2,5)
Murders of crows

?

Ha ha, I ****** that up - should be (7,2,6) ...which reminds me why I've stopped getting the Sunday Times newspaper - I only used to buy it for the cryptic crosswords, and a nice stroll to the deli of a Sunday morning, but they changed the compiler of the cryptic and the new one is crap - more just word puzzle than genuine cryptic clues, and they often get clue the numbers wrong or leave them out altogether. No literary or artistic merit at all now - boring!

Or get the number of letters in more than one word answers wrong too!

Vili’s sells last Norwood Oval pie, as Balfours set to take
over

Mr Baynes met with Balfours on Wednesday to discuss what would be sold at the pie cart. He said there was a possibility the pie cart would operate at times other than football matches, but that was still to be worked out.

“Our minimum position is we’ll have a pie cart there for all our club events,” he said.

I mean, if the headline was NORWOOD SIGNS ITS 100TH MEMBER, or even better, NORWOOD FOOTBALL CLUB TO SHUT ITS DOORS FOREVER, that'd be newsworthy......

Damn it, you had my hopes up there.

I thought Vili's was going out of business.

I thought Koch said we wouldn't pursue legal action for Ryder as we knew what we were in for when recruiting.

If so SEN need to write a formal apology to Koch, and if not we should pursue legal action against the station.
I read "Essendon, and particularly Angus" as pursuing compensation for Angus only.

As you said, Koch has already said that we were well aware of what came with Paddy. A gamble that unfortunately has impacted negatively on our 2016 campaign.

That's nothing. Yesterday afternoons sound grab for Channel 7 News said "Port and Essendon in tatters...."
Going to be glorious when those tatters **** up the rest of the competition and we win the flag, then get Paddy and Gus back in 2017 to shore up the forward line after Schulz retires as a premiership hero.

Nok su kow, Lobbe, my buddy. Nok su kow.

Take a look at 2014. We didn't have Paddy and we nearly made the GF. It was obvious Lobbe needed some help and Paddy was the last piece in the puzzle but he wasn't the only option. Charlie has shown for Gold Coast that he can handle the ruck when the ball is in the forwards. It was more the confusion caused by injuries to Wines, Polec, Carlile, Trengove and Lobbe; the loss of form or consistency of a good number of players and the loss mid-season of Kane Cornes. Although never really dominant he was a calming influence and for a few too many games we resembled a rudderless ship.

The uncertainty for the ruck division is behind us, Wines and Polec are looking to come back. The other question is where is Carlile in his recovery; but even if he cannot return immediately Hombsch looks to have stepped into full-back well. And one or both of Ah Chee and/or Sam Gray will get plenty of game time this year. Personally, my best option would be to play Sam Gray for most if not all of the year as a midfielder, he was a waste last year as a forward. Maybe give Robbie more forward time.

I'd rather listen to the coach: Kenny says we're still a contender. Paddy's loss doesn't help, but we've still got an abundance of class on every line.

Put it this way - you wouldn't say that Hawthorn has had a dominant ruck division in recent times: it hasn't hurt them too much....
Yeah I think we will be fine. We reached a preliminary final in 2014 with no Ryder, so the ability is still there.

NFR but one of the cricket commentators just said it feels like the whole of Adelaide Oval is at the ground tonight. Well I guess it would be unless grandstands walk off like a Terry Gilliam cartoon. Haven't heard any such reports.
