    Thanks Scott.

    BS it all sort of fell into place unnoticed. Bride-to-be did ask "when's the Swans game?" and I just said they have a bye that weekend and no more was said. What would I be doing otherwise but hiding macarons from chunky Nicky D while watching Balmain with Primmy? But my advance planning fades to insignificance against Stella's genius. I want Stella as my personal trainer!

    I'm going to make an effigy of Ray Chamberlain and stick pins in it!
    We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!

    The woman's a genius! Almost like Mrs Kirky when she sent the Captain off to play International Rules instead of going on their honeymoon. Have a great weekend and a better wedding!

    Thank heavens the bye was this week and not last. After Bubbles Chamberlain's big steal, would have been a very very long period to be cranky!

    Interesting fixturing though - bye then two away games. Withdrawals will well and truly have kicked in by the time the Saints game comes around.

    Hopefully their form will have hit a speed bump by then too - typical we didn't get a crack at em when they were still feeling sick and sorry for themselves after their 2010 heartbreak. I certainly thought they wouldn't get off the canvas this season, but they have done it pretty well (darn it!)

    Us southern supporters had to wait 9 rounds after rnd 1 for another game in Melb. The fixture has been rubbish this year.

    Congratulations, GS! Best of luck for the day, I hope the weather is good and everything runs smoothly. What sort of cake did you opt for? It's Goody Stella's birthday that day as well, I'm planning on making her a victoria sponge.

    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    While we are on the theme, it's my birthday on Sunday AND my wedding anniversary. The missus wanted to make it a date I couldn't forget.

    Only 6 or so weeks until Zumbo's new shop opens at 'The Star'....
