Yeah, it's tiring.
Adelaide ==> Broken Hill, 6 hours, Day 1.
BHill ==> Gilgandra, 8 hours, Day 2.
Gilgandra ==> Lightning Ridge, 3 hours, morning Day 3.
There are slightly shorter ways but that's the route I chose this time, for variety
Before oldness
kicked in, lol@me, I used to do the drive in one hit, stopping only for SERVO fuel/food/toilet, 15 hours.As I said, gives me the chance to think a lot, plus I tend to play tourist and stop and look around more than I used to

No, that’s not what he said. Research and then try again.
Seems hes changed his ways over time:
"If someone has niggles you give them a rest so they complete as many sessions as possible, cut the sessions short if someone's a bit sore, or you can build them up and push them through those periods where they're a little sore, a little bit tender and a little bit fatigued … to provide them with that robustness to get through."
Burgess said he used to subscribe to the former theory before evolving to the latter in recent years.

Not sure about McAdam. But McHenry looks to be struggling to become a dangerous small forward. He has great intensity but lacks the creativity to get into scoring positions enough.
I see McHenry as an elite tagger who could easily make each game for his opponent pretty miserable. He has the tank to "run with" all day and the physicality to really give his opponent a very hard day. A bit like Hayden Ballantine.
McAdam is now behind Rowe and Rachele. His best chance is if we choose a smaller forward line with only two talks and four smalls.

And so they shouldn't after disrespecting Ebert last weekend. I could make tons of tasteless comments about that but I won't I watched Ebert play most years and the guy was just brilliant, in his day he was Bont, with ability and skill on top and he deserves respect.
No way that plastic franchise should get to trade on the foundations great men like Ebert, Fos Williams, Motley Cahill ,Obst and Boyd laid down.

Hinge to the medical sub is pretty tough. I thought he was amongst our best on Saturday. I think he'll be a best 22 lock soon.
Burgo be gone at the end of the year?
Is this more of your insider knowledge (like the AFC auditor declaring our finances were an ONGOING CONCERN *)
or a hunch?
I am willing to disappear from Bigfooty for 2023 (moderators can verify that I set up no alternative accounts) if Burgo is gone by round one next year PROVIDING you take a one year holiday if Burgo is still with us.
Do you have the balls to make the bet?
* Two years and you are still unwilling to quote the page in the annual report that substantiates your claim.
We actually need Hinge up around wing/HF, he and Dawson are the only 2 that I have any faith in hitting up a forward
Worrell couldn't have played back in the trial as we had Frampton, Borlase and McAsey, did anyone see where he was playing?
Would be interesting to see Murphy brought back in to replace Jones at HB and Jones moved to forward line and McHenry dropped to SANFL
Out - Sloane, Himmelberg, (Soligo)
In - Laird, Strachan, (Davis)
Perhaps Lycett was still injured but ROB took him apart in the trial match. Strachanie is a much, much better ruckman than Himmelberg and is equally capable of making a contest in the forward line. Using two ruckman could give us an advantage and Strachan can provide a third marking target up forward.
I take very little from SANFL trial match form. I would like to see Hately, Berry, Milera, Hamill, Frampton, Worrell, Murphy, Thilthorpe etc light it up against the Magpies before being selected in the AFL.
Almost everyone had Murray as a lock for our second key defender, give him four games before shuffling the deck chairs.
I still believe Pedlar is underdone but give him 4 matches including some time in the midfield.
Dropping Schoenberg is ridiculous.

How do you pass the time? Podcasts? Audiobooks? That much driving would send me crazy

Yup. I believe he went on leave after the 2013 season and passed in early 2014. Sando was sacked at the end of 2014.
No kardinia park game this year?
Sloane is a "rah, rah, rah, let's get at em boys" captain. No substance.
Suspenseful day.
Feels like one of those crossroad moments.
I realise that is dramatising it, but **** this selection night, go 0-3 could be the beginning of the end or is it the end of the beginning?

In - Laird - who needs to tackle or handball when your 1 wood is a hack kick forward anyway
Out - soligo - good to see a kid get a game and a bit of a gift from captain sloane, who basically stated that he couldn't be trusted if the game was still on the line. Magnanimous stuff from skip.
Sub - Pedlar - Schoey struggling with his disposal, unlike Sloane or Crouch, or Laird with his arm in plaster, so gets a pressure release and can just watch the $hit$how unfold from the goalsquare. Pedlar has gone and failed as a small forward again. No future as a mid if he can't even prove himself an elite forward ahead of our crisp ball movement and precise delivery.
From left field - Murray forward for Himmelberg and Worrell to replace Murray down back. I see a lot of the Blight genius and madness in Nicksy.
Genuinely concerned you aren't far off the truth.
Godden did say Worrall had a good game against Port so who knows that might actually happen
