Summer is in the air

What a beautiful day we were treated to yesterday. Oh and today seems just as nice.

Its days like this that make this city one of the best places to be in the world.

Of course the trains are running late and are all full, which brings some question the idea that they only run late on wet days. So its wet and nice days they run late. Basically, any day you don't want to be stuck against someone in a train, that's when you know ithe train is going to be 10 late.

Anyways, enough grovelling about late trains, the weather today is set to hit a delightful 24°. That's almost beach weather in some peoples books. Not mine, but its getting there.

My top tip for the day, enjoy the weather. Have a sandwich outside, go for a walk. Anything to get you outside.
Because around here, the weather can change just as much as the train time table.

Collingwood 2010 afl premiers

So on the second take on the 2010 Afl grand final, Collingwood take the flag in what seemed a fairly easy victory over the saints.

It ask fell apart for the saints when their caption Nick Riewolt missed an absolutely easy goal in the first quarter. It must be said that he looked like he was trying to show off, and got laughed at after messing it up completely. What a clown.

Well done to Collingwood, they played well at lead the game start to finish.

The worst thing is, dealing with all the gloating Collingwood supporters. They are really going to test the patience of everyone in Melbourne for awhile to come.

Collingwood, the 2010, afl premier's.

Go the pies!

AFL Grand final 2010

Wow its all most here.

Thats right, the AFL grand final. You can taste the game in the air.

The MAGGIES vs the SAINTTERRRRRS.

An all Victorian line up this year, which means that the VB's will be flowing through the veins of most Melbournians tomorrow. What a delicious drink it is.

My first impressions were that I wanted the St Kilda boys to get up, but under 24 hours until the game, me vote has swung. I think its the enthusiasm I've seen in the streets of Melbourne from the Collingwood supporters. Today I saw a white Commodore with black tape on it for stripes, I lol'ed and my vote had swung.

The grand final got me thinking, what does that one day in September mean to us living in Melbourne?

Does it mean more trade for the bars and pubs in Richmond? Headaches for the Police who have to deal with drunk wankers? (Who i think do a great job btw)

Personally , it means catching up with my mates on a Saturday arvo, and have a few beers and a few laughs. Which, does not happen quite enough. Work/ sleeep/ weekly tasks usually get done on my Saturdays, but tomorrow, that all gets thrown out the window.

And I feel like that happens across Melbourne, and even in the wider country. So in that sense,  the Alf take on more then just the climax of the football season. It (and this might sound lame) but the day unites us , allows us to all share the day, have fun and enjoy a great spectacle.

Isnt that what life is all about?

And in that sense, what a great day for all of us.

So if your reading this, and not sure what to do tomorrow. Find some mates, get the BBQ going, get a few slabs on ice and enjoy the day. Cant find anyone? Get to your local pub, plenty of friends to be made there.

Anyways, GO THE PIES!

Have a great Weekend Melbourne, look after each other, dont get too drunk, and have some good times!

Afl grand final 2010

Chris Judd wins Brownlow

Well done to Calton Caption Chris Judd who took home last night the prized AFL brownlow medal.

Dane Swan , the favourite leading up to the count, was beaten with a round to go.

Good work Judd, another AFL champion.

Ill train passenger at newmarket

Wow, its amazing how many people can be affected by 1 person.
This morning thousands on the cragibourne line were suck due to someone being ill on the train and having the train operators call in an ambulance.
My question is, if your feeling ill enough , why are you on the train?
The train ride from the furthest stop fein newmarket would be about half an hour. Did this passenger hop on the train feeling fine, then half an hour need medical attention?
These are the questions I ask, sitting, waiting for my train to move. And contemplating calling my boss to let then know I'll be late.

Hopefully your start to the week is better then mine

Collingwood vs St Kilda. Grand Final Football
