Superthread LXV - Honouring Alex McKinnon

[Bulldog Force]

he's heading over to bondi to grab some lunch with friends, and is then planning on stopping by annandale on the way back through for a coffee, before heading back over towards the club for a late afternoon training.

afterwards i believe he is playing xbox in his loungeroom.

So the rumors are true then... you HAVE moved back to Sydney

Morning. Stacy Street traffic is terrible today.

Stacey St is always terrible until the other side of the Hume Hwy.

Stacey St is always terrible until the other side of the Hume Hwy.

I keep trying to work out how its so bad but can't quite put my finger on it.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Can't you take another route around (sorry I don't exactly know where you're coming from or going to - there's usually a few routes to can take though on or towards main roads).

I keep trying to work out how its so bad but can't quite put my finger on it.

Stupid amounts of lights, 3 lanes constantly becoming 2 lanes, and Bankstown Square traffic seems to get priority.

Retired from footy. Pretty f**king devastated tbh

It never gets any easier either Baz. I've been out for a while now and I still miss it. Taking up oztag or touch helps a little but it's not quite the same.

At least you had a choice in the matter. I probably had another 10 in me when my eye issues forced me to pull the pin.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Drew Is it an option to take Edgar street to the Hume?

 

[Twizzle]

Melbourne is a dump.

Melbourne is a dump.

:lol:

Melbourne is a dump.

You're being pretty harsh on dumps there Twiz tbh.

At least you can find the odd, useful thing in a dump occasionally...

Described below.

That seems to be most of the reason.

My get around is: Once I get past the M5 exchange and over the bridge, I get in the left lane, which moves quickly and see it through to the left hand turn. I turn right at the first chance, scoot up there, then turn right again at the street that ends with the petrol station, slide up the side street there then back out. Saves me nearly 10 minutes each day but its a bloody frustration you have to do it.

Ankle?

Given I want to take a right at the Hume, no.

Melbourne is a beacon of culture on a continent otherwise proud of its boganism.

 

[Bulldog Force]

We get it, you like Melbourne.

 

[Bazal]

Melbourne is shit and every bit as expensive as Sydney

 

[Bazal]

And yeah, ankle had a lot to do with it. I'll lose my footwork. But age too. By the time I get surgery, get fit, and come back I'll have missed two seasons and be 31 or so. This way I can focus on playing cricket, which is less satisfying but easier on the body, rather than pushing on and risking struggling against younger, better players and not enjoying either sport.

 

[Red Bear]

Sydney feels more genuine than Melbourne anyway.

Melbourne is nice enough, Sydney is better.
