b) get it out and post it on you-tube.

He can be like their canary in the mine. As soon as he bails again for Windy Hill they'll know the list is cooked.

That's a pretty good dress-up.

Which 4th-5th year players are those?

When Gerard Whatley is considered on on the best in the business, then you know your sport is at the bottom of the pile for elite sports reporting.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. I heard that Dwayne Russell was the best in the business.

4/11/22 BREAKING: Brendon Goddard has advised St Kilda he is immediately leaving to take up an offer to join Essendon under Free Agency. St Kilda currently consulting HR firm HR Puffnstuff to clarify their position, noting he's not actually a player and could've just not returned in the first place

Can imagine Ross the Boss, Harvey & Goddard wistfully harmonising about that elusive 2nd Premiership;
Heaven, must be there
Well, it's just got to be there
I've never, never seen Eden
I don't wanna live in this place…

Stole my thunder. Its sort of like the star wars franchise, you dont know if its a suquel or a prequel.

I think in general there's two reasons the things I do aren't more prominent:

1. A lot of people cover the game but don't understand it past a surface level of 'goals = good', 'losses = bad' - and/or they're not willing to try and understand it past that surface level.
2. It's not what a lot of places want. They believe it's not worth the return on time investment and would rather look for simpler ways to get people involved.

The latter makes sense for the most part because you appeal to a larger audience by keeping things simple. But they're ignoring a whole section of people by not investing in actual analysis (not 'here's a list of stats with no context'). It's a part of the market which is wide open to take for whichever outlet figures out the best way to do it.

You’d think someone like RoCo on Footyology might be interested in a semi regular column of that nature perhaps?

Between the 2 of you at least 80% of the Aust population would be covered I reckon!

That's nothing.

A guy I know once posted on Facebook: "I'm heading to Cottesloe Beach with Neil Finn, if anyone wants to hang out!"

The mods must be excited that Chaddy food court is getting a full reno. No cone of silence in the plans unfortunately

Speaking of, I've noticed a disturbing food court trend of pizza by the slice/lasagne places disappearing.

All you now usually find in the average food court is a range of dirty Chinese food bain marie joints (all owned by the one family), a McDonalds, a Nandos (if you're lucky) and sometimes some variation of Sandwich Chef. And very occasionally a Korean tea/sweets place that you either know what you're doing at or not .

RIP greasy starchy food court grade Italian food.

How do they make the fried rice so bland?

Look, I can live with the bland generic Chinese food court fare being offered up as bland generic Chinese food court fare.

But when you start offering Thai or Indonesian/Malaysian cuisine, I stupidly get sucked in thinking maybe it's the real deal.

Only to be stunned each time by getting the same bog standard fried rice.

We ate in a food court in KL one time and I bought my son a sausage roll - he was pre-school aged. It was more of a little boy type frankenfurter cooked in a bread bun and it had been pre-sauced. I did ask if it was spicy and the girl said no. Turns out it was chilli sauce and of course I copped a lot of flack as it was as hot and spicy as hell despite what she said.

Couple of days later we were in some other place and by now the kid was paranoid about food courts (he was fine with expensive hotel restaurants however).

I bought him fried rice from the food court. As he was carrying on and refusing to eat it just so happened that two Malaysian coppers walked past. Number one son runs up to them and asked them to arrest me for making him eat spicy food.

After they moved on and I was not in custody I did inflict a minor degree of corporal punishment, which was quite legal in Malaysia at the time.






Minor.

No come-back. It was minor!
