Trailer Birthday time...

In past topics, I have bagged out my Pappas trailer due to the amount of rust on it even after a severe wash down each time and it has kicked off.

All was going to plan with the boat coming off easily and all bolt on bits coming off relatively easily but when it came to the brakes, what a pain in the arse....

Both bolts holding the brakes onto the axle have snapped on one side and on the other, the top bolt came out easy but I can't budge the bottom. The two that snapped had less torque on them than I had on the wheel nuts..

So brains trust, how do I fix this? Kinda thinking it will be a cut the bit off and weld a new bit on?

The brakes were beyond rooted hence the removal.

Oh the joys of having to do it yourself...

 Come on pies time to go.welcome back early Stevo the haters are going to hate you anyway. Looks easy to tip this round, but will it play out that way.

Just got bill ,Bastard's putting my bill up from $35 basic plan to $40 bucks min per mth. So rang westnet got plan for $15 mth with 1GB download and $550 worth of calls ,just a bit cheaper.

Final round to a very challenging year for the tipping, hope you all had fun having a crack!

Top six all within a chance of a payout coming into this round which looks straight forward compared to last week but i'm sure will throw a few curve balls, the margin will decide the outcomes if required.

We had 16 paid punters this year giving the bucket $800, splitting in slightly different to last year hope theirs no objections.

1st - $450
2nd - $250
3rd - $100

Last years winner - Hawk boy 144, 2nd Langdon19 142, 3rd Winner 142

Ill try add similar to the ESPN site for those that don't visit the page that often, I'll PM the winners to sort cash transfer or pick up.

Go FREO!!

 You heard it here before AFL.com.au

And the CEO Steve Rosich too

 Like plenty of others, we headed down to Woodies today for a fish. Launched the boat like usual and left my 5yo daughter to do her job which is lower and start the motor. Went and parked the car and got back to the boat with my wife doing the thumbs down. Oh dear...

Pulled the battery out and it showed as charged but the motor just wasn't cranking. People beside us offered a jump starter and that got the motor cranking for 10 or so seconds but not firing...damn.

Headed up to the shop to see if that had a jump starter I could borrow but not to be so went and got my car battery. Back to the boat with the battery and notice the bloke who launched after us is also unable to start his due to flat battery. Guy beside him offered a spare battery to jump off. No go.

Hooked up jumper leads to my car battery and go at nothing at all....bloke ahead borrowed my battery and got some half cranks out of his. Shit. Old mate on the other side can't get his motor running now.

Time to pull the pin so I lug the battery back to the car. Bloke walks past me and says there is someone else on the other jetties that has a flat...that's 4 in 30 minutes...

Mate rocks up and I tee up him to come alongside and try to jump me. Chatting to a new guy beside me, he offers up his jump starter. Connect it up and she just burst into life!

Thanks to those who offered assistance!

Didnt catch a thing, eagles lost but still a nice day out on the water making memories with the family and friends.

 gotta get rid of old flares , epirbs and fire extinguishers from when we bought the boat, all were expired then and now moving house gotta get rid of them. where is the best place to get rid of them correctly

 Crew,

Hit some water yesterday that has caused me some grief.... 

Turned the Hilux off couple of minutes after going through the water and it was like I had a flat battery, Car started but laboured...

Hour later, nothing at the key...

Jump started and limped home with wiper, lights etc all barely working....

Fuseable link seems fine, 

Only getting 12.2v when running at the battery which obviously tells me alternator isn't working how it should but unless they are piss weak i wouldn't have thought hitting a puddle would be enough to cook the alternator?

Anyone had this before or got any ideas, 

Cheers in advance....

 Just seen on the news a sailor lost overboard a yacht off Freo. Sea rescue and others out looking for them in these conditions. Hope they all get back safe. Last place I'd want to be right now.

 This new ddevelopment takes up a bit of coast and here we are in Safety Bay asking for a boat ramp to be relocated and told government departments will not allow it due to environmental reasons. Ocean Reef and now Cockburn Sound Outer Harbour. How inconsistant can you get?

Maybe some councils just work harder for their community.

Huge game for West Coast. Win and we could finish top but lose and we could finish 4th. Looking forward to seeing the bulls go head to head but I reckon Hutch will take Dusty when he goes forward.

Danger game for the Pies, Adelaide were good last week and that Fogarty looks like a future star.

Be interesting to see Roughie's VFL form as they're giving him a farewell game when they're still in the finals hunt. Arrogance against Gold Coast or are they waving the white flag?

The biggest dissapointment this weekend is that Essendon couldn't somehow bring Scarlett into the game under the name Ring Inn.

I’m over in NZ for a few days visiting, and each time I come over here I manage to spot something (without trying) that tells there are some clever people still here.

Have a look at the picture, think about how many posts go up here about the rules.

Some with no answer, some stupid, some contentious etc

I would contend that if Fisheries cannot answer the question in a short text then either

1/ the rules are too complicated

2/ Fisheries don’t know

3/ Fisheries are unwilling to provide a binding answer, and hence should not be able to later decide otherwise in retrospect.

You should be able to text location, fish and get a binding answer in a timely fashion.

If Fisheries are unable to provide a response in say 8hrs? then obviously you should be able to hold that up later as a Defense or mitigation.

Better late than never

well our days in sunny WA are numbered. Just parked up at bromus dam for a day or so, get a feed of yabbies. Get a nice westerly blowing us across the Nullabour. The Goldfields have been awesome, saw heaps, went and helped out for a couple of days at Ora Banda pub. Such a shame. Going to take a slow trip home, pick up the pooch, been strange not having him around. Was going to do the Murray over summer, but we’ll now be looking after the King Ash Bay caravan park while the owners take a break for about 10 weeks, Barra city, here we come. 

News coming out of Victoria supposedly up to 10 Collingwood players implicated in a betting scandal. Hang onto your hats

Hi all
Anyone on here have or has an interest in any EV's. Don't think for us remote Fisho's anything will ever surpass a ICE 4x4 but I have been eyeing off a Tesla Model 3 but not sure yet about committing.
Any one else thinking around these lines.

 What u guys think of this? 

Watching last night and looking at the scores this morning thinking... if only we had a left hander that can throw them down at 150 clicks. Oh wait, we do, he is carrying the water at the drinks break. Suprised we also dropped arguably our best batsmen from last summer and played 3 keepers.

 So, have been thinking lately of either rebuilding my current trailer or replacing with a new one. Current trailer is a Brooker Supper Roller rated to a combined weight of 1.9t. Boat is a 6m Seafarer Victory & 200hp. To help make the decision I filled the fuel tank up and had all my general/safety gear onboard & took it over a weigh bridge. Was very surprised to see it come in at 2.25t which is well above the rating of current trailer. We do trips North with the boat and I also want a buffer for all the kids crap that we somehow seem to take away with us!! It’s an easy decision now to replace the trailer, one with greater capacity as well as hydraulic/electric breaking. Tezza’s Trailers do a trailer rated to 2.8t which I’m leaning towards. Has anyone had any experience with Tezza’s Trailers good or bad? Cheers, Jason

My team’s going to get a flogging, I think we’re officially tanking, no idea who else is doing what.

love the suggestion that it could be developed like rotto! (and by that I mean - its a long stretch of the bow!)

 Hi guys, I haven't been on here for some time as life has been pretty hectic lately. I was working up north on a civil job but that has now come to an end. Im now currently looking for any work around the mandurah area, I'm also willing to travel upto 100km for work. My background has been civil and mining the last 15 years but now want something close to home. I'm happy to pickup anything atm, more than happy to labour also. If anyone knows of anything please let me know so I can pass on my resume. Cheers in advance, Bevan.

Crunch time for a few teams this week with a few good contests to be had.
Tiges on form should get over the pies.
Hawks and lions should be a good game with lions continuing their march.
Won't surprise me if Carlscum get up.
Eagles over noth.
Saints over Melbourne to give Ratten a boost.
On ports hit and miss form they should win this week.
Doggies to be Ross"s downfall.
Cats over Sydney.
Essendon should get some percentage.
Weather up heres awesome so going fishing...lol

 Howdy All

A long shot but was anyone from here at the Coral Bay boat ramp on Friday 19th July and happen to find a wallet at the boat ramp/car park.

I think I dropped it Thursday evening when I went to get my car and trailer.

Not 100% sure that I lost it there but was the last place I had it, didn't really look for it until Saturday as a mate borrowed my boat and car on Friday to take his boys out and I thought I had left it on the boat/car.

 Cheers, Karl

Anyone here know anything of the above boat called Time Out?

Very interesting matchup. JWP had a promising boxing career of 10-3 with 10 KOs before he went back and won multiple muay thai world titles.

He is ultra aggressive, hits like a truck and is very skillfull and expect JWP to walk forward all fight and put Mundine under immense pressure.

Should be a cracker if Mundine actually tries to engage.

The fight for second spot is still up for grabs and the Pies have four outs but some pretty handy ins. We know it can't be because of the ground because they make them tougher in the eastern states or some shit. Looks like West Coast might roll the dice on the 19y old ruckman who is very athletic but very raw but I can't see it happening.

Freo v Sydney... gee I hope it's not raining.

Fun fact from the stats files.

Freo have played 599 game for 247 wins whilst Sean Burgoyne has played 370 for 247 wins also to go with his four flags. Sean Burgoyne>Fremantle Football Club.
