Round 10 – AFL Round 10 Retro Round Ah, the past. Everything was better in the past. Even the recent past - for example, I remember when Richmond were a good team and that was only two years ago. All that said, nostalgia isn't what it used to be. So this weekend, while we celebrate Retro Round and all the good things in the past that made the game great (like Richmond winning), we also note that perhaps other parts of the game might be far better now than what they used to be. So some forward looking nostagia, as it were. Though nothing can beat the late 70s trend of flourescent bright footy shorts. Onwards.

Absolutely fitting that in Retro Round two of the more senior citizens in @Len and me get to have a (gentle) tussle. And then reminisce about the old days; like when TSChat was fantastic on Friday evenings, when on Sundays there would be updates of in-match scores .... The nurse has just tapped me on the shoulder to say I dozed off and, ah, wouldn't that be the nostalgia round not the retro round?
Retro Round also plays host to a version of the Household Cup between the Lilacs and the Nuffers. I am preparing for a week of housework in the wake of a loss in this matchup. Or the purchase of something. Or both. Nothing really retro about all this.
