PS : Can anyone explain as to how to embed a video ( for dummies ) direct into thread rather than just the link ??

 


the afl you have to wonder

I am not going to name names but you have to wonder about the afls selections in to the hall of fame this year when two blokes , Austin "okker" Roberson snr and Austin Roberson jrn have been over looked again , bloody disgrace in my opinion


Vid of GW in Sydney harbour

 Watched 'The Project' tonight and they had a YouTube clip of a guy jumping off a cliff in Sydney Harbour with a go pro on & after he hits the water a his mate yells out shark from the cliff top. He puts his head under and not long after a Great White comes into the picture.

Probably a hoax but looks pretty well done if it is. I have only seen it the once. What is everyone's thoughts. Sorry don't have the link. 


Monkey Mia and Shark Bay Council

Went for a week at Monkey Mia had a great time  stayed over the Resort that was Great got told by the resort had to park Boat in the Boat ramp carpark at the boat ramp as the resort does not have the room only Problem been the council has now decided no problems  parking your boat there just dont unhook your car and leave boat on the trailer or they will fine you a $100 each time they visit the carpark if car is not attached to trailer they will fine you got done on the wednesday morning when we went to denham for shopping got back first ticket found it thursday moning when going fishing went to pay it friday morning  got back found the second one F..k went and abused the resort they approached the council taking blame for telling me to park there just waiting to hear back about the first one i had payed

so be warned dont park a boat at monkey mia boat ramp carpark without the car attached or they will fine you

the resort is saying they didnt know about the traffic infringement was being impossed on the carpark the shire is saying they were notified about it 2 months ago ??

 

sounds like a lets make money off tourist scheme to me ?

 

 

Farewell Darren Glass

 Well I could say something like he is jumping from a sinking ship, but I won't. He is a West Coast great player, very good career but the injuries were to much, good luck going forward.

Cheers

Boat thief caught today

 Finally we have caught one of these pond scum red handed.

Had the great pleasure this morning to help return a stolen boat to its owner. Stolen from a business in wangara on Friday after smashing down a fence and damaging other boats to get it out. They drove it to darch and started to strip and change the appearance both internally and externally.

8 police ,the two owners and I surprised this scum with the boat in their front yard. He is now on a string of charges including theft, removal of HIN, drugs and some others.  Great day for the good guys., if I had their name I would post it but as it is so recent and I wanted to share this news I havnt been given their name yet.

Got you, you piece of shit.

 



cranka crabs

after the long awaited supply of the cranka crabs is any 1 actually catching with them would think they would be bluebone lollys


any brick layers that are members

I have been quoted 650 dollars to lay 30 large bricks to build up a couple of flower beds by a course (and that's with me supplying the bricks ) any forum members interested in the job that can better the price just normal brick width but about twice as long as a normal house brick


Brain Dead Clowns.

I was reading a post on fishing discussions where one member had damage caused by some joker pulling the safety pin on his drawbar.It never ceases to amaze me how many many clowns there are out there who unthinkingly pull some stupid stunt without any thought at all of the possible consequences.

I was towing my boat to Mandurah for servicing a weekend ago when I was overtaken by a couple of young blokes in a black Commodore SS. I was towing in the left lane at 95 and he went past me at about 110. No problem with that until this twit hoiks an empty crownie bottle (it was 10.00am) out the window straight into my path. 3T of boat at 95 doesnt take very good evasive action especially when the bottle hits the road just in front of you. All I could do was hang on and hope.

Fortunately the bottle was smashed to smithereens and I suffered no damage other than some glass spliters hitting the car but FFS what could have happened if I had swerved suddenly to avoid ? Where are the coppers when you need them ? Seems to me this is a great advert for one of those crash cameras. At least I might have got a number plate and had some chance of getting this wanker off the road.


if Ballas goes

if Ballas goes for his bump on the weekend I will stop watching AFL and start watching NRL or netball or tennis or ice curling or thumb wrestling, Afl should be called "don't bump ball these days" have the Afl hierarchy forgotten the hip and shoulder is a legit part of our great game ?????? and no I am not a freo fan


Potm photo upload?!?

what a horrible way to go[ croc attack]

comisserations to the family that lost their Dad, Husband in that crocodile attack up north, this will make a lot of people think about hanging out of a tinnie or grabbing a fish off the side of the boat, I always thought this is stupid when I grab a big mack by the tail and hoist him aboard, guess I will be still thinking about it

Black Pistol Fire - rockin' live set

These guys are a bit like the Black Keys were before they got all radio friendly - they rock more though.

It's a half hour set with a bit of chat in the middle, if you can't be bothered with the whole thing this is the last song of the set - gives you an idea of the bluesy rock mayhem they play:

youtu.be/5b-fTAfE60s

The guitarist has got some pretty mad riffs. The drummer is like a hairy Charles Manson, he's got more fill-ins than my social basketball team though.  Pretty cool.

The second song, Crow's Feet, is a blinder too.


Streaming radio - what are you listening to?

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled onto KEXP, a Seattle radio station which is a bit like RTR but better.  If you like indie music and are over JJJ then I'd recommend giving them a go.

If you've got any other station recommendations pop them up!


AFL this weekend - the winners??

Geelong, WC( i dooo hope so much), Port, Long shot for the week Brisbane, Essondon, Swans by a nose, Freo, North, and Melbourne (no way can I tip Collie wobblers, even if I look like a fool!!)


how to do the Burrup jump up


RIP Doc Neeson

Fishing

 Hi I am new to boating and have just purchased a trailcraft 4.75 freestyle with a 60HP 4stroke my 14 year old son wants to go sea fishing. Could anyone give us few tips we were thinking of somewhere sheltered like Cockburn sound.


Game of Thrones

 Anyone else on here into it? I'm not going to give anything away here, but after tonight's episode, I reckon I'm going to have a bit of trouble getting to sleep.

Cheers

Dale

fishing today

had a fish today with alan and axey of the forum hit AIS jetty first up chasing snapper , for no joy so headed over to the D9 and bobbed around with about 10 other boats for a few hours still not seeing any pinkys so we headed over to suphur bay and got a nice feed of squid , the day was beautiful company great with heaps of laughs didn't get any fish but was still a good day out


Thanks VN6DI

Taking the big boat (racing yacht) down river to fremantle today for our winter campaign today. Just got through the bridges and the motor decided that after two hours of motoring, it had enough.

19m yacht with a 20m mast, weighing 10t thankfully has a bit of momentum and thankfully with an outgoing tide we were able to drift away from the bridges....until the wind started to turn us around. When a passing boat started towing us, we were 1.5m away from mating with a ferry.

After a few moments and an anxious conversation, Freo sea rescue came out and towed us around to fremantle sailing club.

Plenty of fuel so fkd if we know what went wrong, though 8 knots of breeze made it an ideal day as 25 knots of Seabreeze would have had a different result.

Thanks to VN6DI.


West Coast - Where to now?

Looking forward to some genuine thoughts from the WC faithful on where exactly their team is at.

Almost full strength this week, and destroyed on their own dung hill. New coach, not sure what his game plan is. Is it season over and is their any young talent coming through?

Over to you boys.
