There was a part of us that woke up this morning and thought about pretending to be a Brisbane Broncos player, but that would mean the newsletter wouldn’t be put out cause nothing would get done…… One D. Cometti was inducted in the AFL Hall Of Fame this week. We would call the below pic … Continued

Another cracking weekend of footy ahead (Monday excluded) so gather up your cardboard cutouts, turn up the fake crowd noise and prepare for a Cinderella story on the punt. Who better to get things back on track than the NRL’s fairytale team, and sentimental favourites, the NZ Warriors. Captained by none other than Roger Tuivasa-SHREK. … Continued

It seems a little stranger, yet much more exciting the second time around, and COVID-19 sure hasn’t stopped us all dancing around the lounge room in our underwear on TikTok and shouting it to the rooftops (a la Nathan Cleary). So stock up the bar fridge, fire up the barbie, gather 9 of your mates, … Continued

The three football codes are approaching the starting line, but one of them is shying at the stalls and needs to be vetted (did anyone say Rugger? You are correct!) League has taken an early lead courtesy of PVL who knows how to run a race, and the AFL is settling in behind for a … Continued

A donkey is having a drink in a pub when he spots a horse at the bar so goes over for a chat. “What do you do for a living then?” asks the donkey. “I’m a racehorse” comes the reply. “Oh right,” says the donkey, “have you won any races then?”. “Well”, says the horse, … Continued

Unionists the country over will be outraged there’s no public holiday for ANZAC Day, but that’s probably because the boffins in the Bra (Canb’ra, not Marou’bra) decided we’ve spent way too much time relaxing at home already. They’re right.   There is something quintessentially Australian about gambling on Anzac Day even if two-up with your kids isn’t … Continued

A young jockey, just out of his apprenticeship and his stable lass girlfriend make the decision to get married after the Australian Spring Carnival. Everything is planned out but the honeymoon is a bit of a sore point. The service and reception go without a hitch and the couple set off on their honeymoon. Given he has had … Continued

You could almost be forgiven for throwing yourself in a bathtub with a toaster.  But somewhere, over the rainbow, there are still horses running around. Bloody good … Continued
