If you are near Footscray I can lend you my copy.

Sauté ?

But it’s there in case they neeed it.

I want 20 million to buy the vacant little Saigon block in Footscray and turn it into a public soccer pitch with access for all. When I win 100 million I’ll rebuild the Bay View Hotel as a soccer pub (as it was before ww1). No fumbleball allowed.

There’s a crucial 1878 article by a Sydney rugby writer who ‘mistakenly’ equates soccer and vic rules. Seems to me a lot hinges on this.

Those rules do not exclude a soccer like game.

P 56-57

They agreed in 1866 to play according to Victorian Rules. What did those rules look like? Still weren’t allowed to pick the ball up from the ground.

Cheers. I guess I don’t trust the fumbleball narrative whose default position is VR if code is not made clear. Blainey was guilty of that re tas football for example. Plenty of others.

When I say game I mean the whole gamut of football. I’ll find specific refs when I get home though I’m sure I refer to this in my book

There is however an indirect reference at another point in a set of instructions for techniques of the game. Sniggling reads a lot like dribbling.

Maybe it was a leap of logic. Also Garry McKenzie worked out that Jaap was infirm at the time so had no immediate influence. However, my opinion is that he still exerted remote influence

Hi Peter. Why do you assume Victorian Rules?

Shit pinball machine at Footscray market.

What he should have written: "given Republicans won’t join us in legislation to prevent it from happening, we will ….

On Dynon road. To my mind this improves vacant lots.

I’ll still take the battery

Footscray when it was Melbourne soccer’s powerhouse pre- and post- ww1 was represented by Northumberland and Durhams and Footscray Thistle—your point embodied in victorian sokkah culture

Somewhat reminiscent of the memorial for Kerry packer. It too featured a pedophile prominently on stage.

lol. I’m stuck in a loop here.

Disney+ Been getting this message since I decided to unsub--any chance you could help me out?

Black shorts and white shirts are not a particularly good disguise.

Is this the woman whom trump described as having blood come from her eyes.

not that we’re even a drop in this ocean, but Silver Lake and Paramount are currently some of the biggest investors in the A-Leagues. is this how we want our game to be aligned?

This purports to be an etching of indigenous men playing football.

Roy Hay and Athas Zafiris’ response to the issue meanjin.com.au/essays/austr...

TBF a lot of the criticism of the book comes from left positions also, but its central theme of empathy is pretty current

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” This must be the expression of empathy that so triggers the US right in relation to To Kill a Mockingbird.

He handed out maga caps to his audience. He urged leftists to read and be sympathetic to conservative thinkers yet equated woke with Marxism. Why would lefties want to debate him in this context? Though Dean Withers and Parkergetajob sorted him out so much he wouldn’t debate them again.
