And like that... I've lost interest in going

Damn. I’ve been scheming all day about how I might get there.

I may still go... but I'm not sure

 

[magic_johnson!]

To be fair it's also two lanes all of the way to winch, so all in all the roadworks from there onward shouldn't add too much time from what it was pre-works.

All happy with Blitz taking a key forward?

I definitely do not like the idea. Highlighted by one passage of play on Sunday when the ball was close to the line and he laid a soft tackle allowing the suns player to center the ball resulting in a goal. A natural key defender would have Had the nous to lay a solid tackle and kill the ball in that instance.

He is not a bad part time Ruck but it’s getting harder to hide blitz in other positions in my opinion...

With the recruits looking fairly solid from last year and a light injury list, he may be struggling for a spot by the end of the year..

Don't sook. Just letting people know so they don't wonder where it all ends. I have to drive that way once a week for work. At least they won't be actually working on it on the weekend. (I hope.)

They'll be working, vicroads look at when the most inconvenient time to shut lanes are and then make sure they do it then

What is V-Line? I'm from NSW, remember lol

V line is the country train service-it’s great.

I understand that there will be plenty of Coopers & West End available at the game as Hodgy's little brother let slip that a certain Port Adelaide player will be making the trek over to watch the match and have a few cans so that his pre-season remains consistent with previous years....

I spent 8.5 years using it daily to commute to & from work between Geelong & Melbourne. Add in trips for football, cricket, soccer etc and I'm used to their "service"

I can think of many words to describe them but great isn't one of them.

Yep, fair enough. I use it pretty regularly on Bendigo line amongst others, not daily though. Actually never had any issues with it. I know on weekends they substitute in buses a bit and that would be a drag but I am weekdays so all good.

Thanks romeowho. Being a Welshie, I'm reluctant to use public transport lol Although, I do love the Melbourne trams - fantastic.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

For anyone who hasn't travelled from Geelong to Colac recently - there are roadworks all the way from Winch to Colac.

Do you have any idea how long the roadworks will increase the driving time please, Patience?

Coming from Warrnambool to Geelong it was adding about 15-20mins to a trip.

OK - SPILL! Who is it?

Also sounds ideal for a BF meet-up!

Any suggestions of where should get together? The rabbi

I didn't like to say anything being a Welshie, but didn't V-Line have all those delays recently? Or were the delays in Sydney? Living in the Bush I'm not really focused on the News.

I'm happy to drive, I have a work car and don't pay for fuel

 

[patience]

Roughly 15 mins. Sometimes they completely stop the traffic. Other times you don't have to stop at all. If they aren't working it will be better.

V/Line has delays on a weekly, if not daily basis on different lines

It is still much better than Metro isn't it? Which isn't really saying much though
