Dreamteam
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Mon, 2016-06-13 17:55Who does it? I've been doing it since 2008 and have a cash league with some guys who have all been in the same league since I started and we've stuck with the original Dreamteam rather than defect to the AFL Fantasy.
Just broke my run of 4 loses on the trott with a score of 2306 and still only got the 4th highest score such is the cut throut nature of the league I am in. Our league's average score is 2020 and we are ranked 333 in Australia!
I have finished minor premier the previous 2 years but late season injuries and resting of players has always ultimately killed me in the prelim. I am taking a slightly different approach this year and really milking the rookie cows giving away any chance at top spot and making sure I have trades and a lot of cash left over at the business end of the season.

Bloody dog activated my personal epirb
Submitted by scano on Mon, 2016-06-13 10:06Got back from a gnarloo trip about a week ago and as per normal with camping trips, had to wash and dry everything before putting away again. Mrs comes home this morning and says, "what's that beeping sound"
turns out the 5 month old Labrador puppy has managed to grab my personal epirb off the back table, remove it from its case and then undo the aerial to activate it. Upon noticing I had a missed call from search and rescue (thanks to them for the prompt response and understanding)
i felt a little embarrassed to be using the old "my dog ate my homework" type of excuse. Bloody Labradors! Been around them all my life and it never ceases to amaze me how smart but naughty they can sometimes be.

Round 12 - Who will be Owen??
Submitted by crasny1 on Thu, 2016-06-09 11:22Getting to the time that us tipsters need to get better to chase down Timmo. Well done so far mate.
Tougher round this one. Gambled last round a little, but picked Port Adelaide over the soggy Pies, but WC and GWS let me down. Geelong form has been up and down, and I was sure that GWS was up to it -alas the fat lady thought other wise.
only two(almost) certainties this Rd - Hawks over Bombers, Richmond over Suns. But Suns have some returning from injury and even this could be a harder than you think one.
4 games this week with teams locked together on the ladder, and 8 out of the nine top teams are playing each other.
Im rating Port and still think they may feature well in the finals, but Dogs are bitting oppositions - so Doggies for me
Freo for 2 from 2 (forget the other 10 LOL)
50/50 for NM vs Cats - leave that till later but leaning toward Cats. I think NM has had a good run but against lesser teams
WC to continue flat track bullies, but not convinced.
Carlton the big surprise so far this season (apart from Freo's tumble from grace) so with them vs Saints IMO
Sydney vs GWS - think Sydney but leaving this in the locker still
Melbourne vs Collingwood - what happened to the Pies. Was heading for a season when many (not me) predicted they would make the 8. I don't think so, but again this is a ball toss. With no confidence leaning Melbourne.
Phew - could be anything from 2 correct to 9 (dreaming)
I don't know what others think, but this Rd is bloody hard to pick!!!

Outboard Centre (QLD)
Submitted by bleicester on Wed, 2016-06-08 14:42Has anyone come across this site?
I have been doing my research on 150HP four-strokes and came across this site.
outboardcentre.com.au/yamaha-outboards/66-yamaha-f150xb-four-stroke-in-line-model-2015.html
The prices look way too good to be true - $5808 for a new F150XB??? even the pre-discount prices look too low. Is anyone aware of any scams going around? I had a search on the Scamwatch site but didn't find anything there.

New saltiga rods
Submitted by fisharoo on Wed, 2016-06-08 12:34i have a couple of the previous saltiga rods which I rate highly. But with most things I found most of the newer rods compared to the older generations have replaced great components with OK ones. With the sales coming up I'm thinking of picking up a new model saltiga rod. After doing some research, I'm still wondering if the new ones have titanium guides?
Does anyone know for sure what type of guides they use? I'm very sure the model I have atm has the titanium sic ones as mentioned in the Daiwa site.
thanks

small torch recommendation, led lenser?
Submitted by anypuddle on Tue, 2016-06-07 20:54hi fishwreckers, please advise if anyone can reccomend on a modern torch that runs on one or 2 aa/ (prefer but aaa ok) batteries, doesnt need massive lumens just need solid design.that can survive some abuse/real work, ie shock/tapping on glass. I know led lensers are poular in my field of work but anyone used quark/zebralight?
I dont need the greatest super light just something that will last with a lot of use and a rugged design, battery as long as they are are aa or aaa not a concern as they are supplied thru work. Sick of buying ebay super duper cree torches that break as soon as i knock them around and everready ($30 plus) torches that cut in and out after a few weeks. Pleae let me know what works for you and where you got it.
Cheers everyone.
Anypuddle.
