    Was catching up on some news and read 4 young kids aged between 10-14 went on a 9000km epic road trip in a 4WD from QLD to NSW without their parents knowledge. The article became interesting when i read the below....

    The 4WD was first sighted early on Sunday morning in the small town of Banana, west of Rockhampton, where the group was allegedly involved in a petrol theft incident.

    Came across this little ditty. It reminded me of someone:

    Pity The Bitter Optimist

     

    Pity the bitter optimist,
    He wants to rant and shake his fist,
    But just can’t seem to bring himself to do so,
    He doesn’t want to think the best,
    He knows the world’s completely messed,
    From his mouth it never quite rings true though,
    He’s certainly no giddy fool,
    Thinks cynical is kind of cool,
    But is cursed to always find the silver lining,
    He’s tried to practice sneer and scowl,
    Even worked up an evil growl,
    Still he knows somewhere the sun is always shining,
    He makes his outside sort of tough,
    Wears shades and reads the darker stuff,
    But somewhere inside lives Little Orphan Annie,
    He’s even tried to turn to drink,
    He thought it’d make him mean I think,
    Found his ability to laugh is near uncanny,
    So if you are pessimistic,
    I’m afraid to him it won’t stick,
    Despite the twisted ruse he tries so oft to borrow,
    Yes his charade is oh so thin,
    For very much to his chagrin,
    He can’t help but hope for better things tomorrow.

    I have always maintained that this is a classy and educational thread and your poem fits in nicely with that view.

    Happily , or should it be sadly, I do see something of my wonderful and vile self in this verse

    I shall now proceed to thrash the maid and then sit down and have a jolly good cry.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
