Hand out condoms or provide an education in pregnancy prevention.

It would be pretty good value to give Jolly a family planning brochure if you get the timing right.

Ask Jolly if I can have half his baby bonus to pay for my trip to the GF.

Ask Roos if he looks beyond the word "Fitzroy" in resumes.

Hilarious Stella!!
His baby bonus should go to Wardy to pay for her GF car accident.

Poor Wardy. As if our own post GF loss blues isnt bad enough, yours is even worse.

Plus her excess and medical costs in relation to the fractured rib

I'd like you to confirm the following:

1. Is Fosdike seeking a trade back to Adelaide
2. Is Buchanan seeking a trade to a Melbourne club

It would be nice to put these two rumours to bed.

Good questions - I'll see what I can do. (As soon as I've finished distributing the condoms - it could be quite a night.)

BTW, as I'm also meant to ask Monty about the fumble, should I suggest a Melbourne club might be a good place to hide?

can you ask Richard Colless if the Swans will pay for my car hire costs to get back to Sydney - I dont think my insurers will cough up for that - and its the Swans fault - I mean had they have won - I wouldn't have been driving Saturday night and, and.........Ok maybe not!

Wardy - what did you do? I've been out of circulation sulking with Baz and the last I saw of you was through the bottom of a bottle of Grange in the car park. What happened next? (Maybe this should be a call or a PM unless you want to share it with the RWO world. Cracked rib? Busted car? That's terrible?

You left off, women drivers.

Ask Richard Colles if he can put the heavy on the gits at Budget Rent a car to give me my money back as they have charged me twice for the car hire and are arguing the toss about it. oh its all good fun til someone loses an eye!

I guess a good question would be - "so now that we have moved on from being the football old timers home - would if be fair to say that we are now considered the AFL equivalent of a player rehabililtation centre?" Do the wayward types like your Gardiners & Tarrants et al look to moving to Sydney to get their careers and lives back on track? We have a pretty good success rate in that area.

I guess what I would really like you to say to any of them is that despite what happened last Saturday, we still all think they are the bees knees and we will all be back to cheer them on again next year.

Grange in the car park? Who needs chardonnay when you're drinking Grange.

Tell Visa that there is an unauthorized charge on your card and let them deal with it.

for the record - breath test reading 0.00 - 7.50pm 30/9

prang - Royal Pde - Carlton - trying to do one of those bloody u-turns into the side road of Royal parade to get back to hotel.
Didnt see car coming up beside me (dark car, my blind spot - yellow street lighting that makes most things look odd - she hit me - I stopped, she spun out of control and ended up across tram tracks bonnet first onto road back of car up on median strip.

Fines $177 for doing unsafe u-turn - although the police didnt want to give it too me, they thought it could go either way, but as I was attempting the U-turn - well you know the rest.

other party fine (but turns out to be uninsured - their problem not mine!) there you go! Cracked rib, huge credit card bill and turned what was a great weekend into a bit of a nightmare. Add to that the flight to Melbourne to pick up the repaired car - and you see where this is going. Its charachter building, thats what I keep telling myself. Although the tribal drums got going on Tuesday - Ange rang me as she heard that I was in hospital - which was news to me. The way word got around the insurance industry I could have well been mentioned in the dispatches column in the Herald by Wednesday

thanks for your concern everyone - just a bit sore, sorry and hurt pride! (and Special thanks to Ange, she managed to calm down the crying idiot on the end of the phone not long after it happened!) and to Layby, he asked whether going for a beer would help. cheers (and by the way- the Grange was way over rated!)

We're glad you're ok Wardy. That's a fabulous question. My friends and I were discussing this at a BBQ last Sunday.

Me thinks that the Gardeners and Tarrants are beyond help, but agree that they are extremely talented and coming here *may* boost their careers. I would put them on a one year contract (with maybe a two-year option) to "prove" themselves (behaviour-wise).

I think the reason that Sydney is a bit of a rehab-town (apart from the obvious), is that the swans (and Brisbane) tend to fly under the radar. We don't get a 90th of the media coverage (and fan recognition) that the teams in Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth go through. We're allowed to concentrate on footy, I'm pretty sure Roosey realises this, and has capitalised on the opportunity.

Unless you follow the AFL in Sydney, the boys are pretty much left alone. Unless you're one of the captains, or goodsey, no-one recognises the majority of the team (incl. reserves). Saying that, I always carry a black marker with me ... just in case!!

You might want to rephrase that bit.
