Note Port Phillip Bay in the background. Good to see real Seagulls flying high, did you call into the Stags Head on the way home? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also just a really gentle breeze made it even more pleasant. I must admit, a far cry from some Saturday morning Auskick sessions when my boy was little. Enormous southerly winds howling off the bay. One day we had to look after kids verging on hypothermia (true). As to the Stags Head, I rarely drink so have not been there for a long time. It stills seems to be humming along. Nice pub. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One day we had to look after kids verging on hypothermia (true). It reminds me of the Frankston ground a little with the westerly straight off the bay. Many years ago we attended a country inter league game there between our local league and one from the area of the western district where I grew up. It was absolutely freezing, top of 8 degrees. It was raining and the wind was driving it in on an angle. After halftime all the players came out with their track tops under their jumpers. We sat in the grandstand with rugs wrapped around us but the children thought it was fun! It wasn’t! Leigh 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docker123 #356 Posted July 7 (edited) Took a couple of snaps on the phone of the Stags Head while on my morning walk. Too early for it to be open. Edited July 7 by Docker123 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

possum52 #358 Posted July 7 Haha! No Mr GUT, Blues play Demons this afternoon at the G. Could go either way. It will be on our TV as husband is a Dees supporter so I guess I’ll be watching at least some of it. Leigh 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Docker123 #361 Posted July 7 Carlton certainly seemed to give it a real big shake in the last. Even hit the front by 1 point with minutes to go. Melbourne just got home. North giving St Kilda a real touch up in Tassie. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
possum52 #362 Posted July 7 Dees were probably lucky to win but from just before 3/4 time they only had one on the bench due to injury including their key forward who up until then had kicked 6 goals and taken a stack of marks. They ran out of legs in the last quarter and Carlton had all the run. Leigh 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoWhiners #363 Posted July 8 Oh nooooo....the Swans lost I guess this means I owe Possum52 a drink ( a shout?? My Australian is rusty!). From the score it looks like it was a close game. Blues--Dees even closer. I hope the season ends soon, I can't take much more disappointment. Go Swans! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Swans can still make it but it is now relying on other results. They are 2 wins out of the final 8 with 7 rounds to go. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leigh I thought you may go for a more lavish drink, like the - Stealth Bomber - http://www.cocktailsandbars.com/jack-sottis-stealth-bomber-cocktail/ or the - Bourbon Bomber Cocktail is the perfect drink to toast the fall season. This cocktail is loaded with all the flavours you associate with fall; apple, nutmeg, allspice and ginger. Stir it together with some bourbon and top it of with fresh sprigs of Rosemary and you have one delicious, soon to become your favourite, fall cocktail. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not really into cocktails Mic, but will have to try it. A good Sav Blanc (Smith and Shaw perhaps) and the occasional beer are more my style.

MicCanberra #370 Posted July 12 Swans play the Carlton tomorrow at 1.45pm in Sydney, and I am hoping the Swans can still get another couple of wins in. If they cannot beat the blues then their season is definitely over. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NSWP #374 Posted July 13 (edited) I just cannot understand that game. They should have kept it in Mexico and S.A.. 😋 Not bring it east. Where is that bloke who wore the short shorts, Warwick Capper?
