Watching the scoreboard.
Loving the 150-600.
We gave Adelaide a belting today 114 - 48, even though they had a 22 - 9 free kick advantage. -
Yeah they belted them! I'm a bit over the free kicks this year. The umpiring is a disgrace - they need to get back to basics. They seem to have deleted a lot of the rules which protect the player who wins the ball. No m ore push in the back or carried forward in tackles, you can just jump on someone's back and it's a ball up! You can now tackle around the neck if it's front on - who wrote that rule? No more 50 metres for grabbing a player after he's taken a mark or returning the ball on the full after a free kick - I also see players holding on to the ball pretending to look puzzled as to who has the free kick. I'm losing interest.

Agree with Greg. The pose in 2 for me.
The bird looks more grey in places than black and white.Comment

Yeah, I noticed that also. I played around with the white balance, but this is as good as I could get it. May be going through a change of season molt? -
It's a female.
"Its nape, upper tail and shoulder are white in males, grey in females."

2nd is clear winner on these. good low angle and eye contact are what make it.
dont forget female magpies have more grey where the white bits are around the back of neck, so this could just be a femaleStephen Davey. Nikon ShooterComment
