Speaking of relaxing, and I’m gonna feel so old saying this, but what’s up with this…AA8C68CA-5831-47BC-BF08-416F8875EA46.thumb.jpeg.1f2805015c4a0fe59bd831f8655ae12d.jpeg

What’s wrong with just plain and simple colouring? Why “mindful” colouring?

Love mindful colouring exercises! It really does help just zoning in on one thing. Especially if you're like me with the monkey mind all day!

Having said that it is funny when you see things branded as 'mindful colouring' because it is really just a colouring book and I doubt that any scientific research has gone into making it more mindful.

    They need a tag to sell it.

    It’s like Uncle Bitter’s wine casks being labelled “aged” or “premium “.

    True. Another good one is 'Adult colouring books'

    I was hoping for a draw tonight, as it is painful to see Blues or Cats win.

    I keep letting bananas run down to their brownest. Don't get me wrong it's great for smoothies but am I enjoying the richness of the banana in this short time we have on planet Earth? 

    I'll let the viewers decide..

    I am ashamed to admit it .... but .....I was barracking for Geelong.

    I just wanted to see Carlton nutted on the line.

    I was the opposite BBO, no one has done what Geelong did to us on that fateful 186 day and I will never forgive them and wish them a loss everytime they play and pray for their downfall.

    I call it a win-win game for us (unless it is a draw, which has its own compensations).

    Can’t understand why May flew up there. Surely it would be better for him to have stayed in Melbourne if there was doubt. Can’t see how being stuck in a plane for 5 hours return is beneficial.

    Interesting to read that several ex Hawk Premiership players that he coached, are not friendly with Clarkson. He has apparently burnt 🔥 a lot of his players.

    Very interesting. Could be an Alex Ferguson character.

    Having a coffee with Mrs Redleg in cafe and she asked me how was the coffee.  I said “average “ and she fined me for dissent. I asked if she would like to take up umpiring, as that showed a real flair for it.

    How was the Cask De Shiraz 2023, after the Sydney win Uncle?

    I am sure it would have gone wonderfully with those bbq shapes and cheddar cheese.

    At the time they did, it was more after the fact when he released his autobiography and potted several of his stars. Bit strange actually.

    Longmire just said on AFL Tonight that Hayward was not dissenting to the umpire, but instead was speaking to a Melbourne player. Only problem with that was that he was staring straight at the umpire, when he complained about a free paid by that umpire against him and there was no Melbourne player nearby. Sparrow was the nearest Melbourne player and he was nowhere near Hayward and Hayward wasn’t facing him when the dissent call was made.

    Sometimes it might be better to just let things be, rather than putting your foot in your mouth.

    Seems hard to argue that a Melbourne player was the target -- none of them are even looking at Hayward, and as you said, Hayward is eyeballing the umpire. Horse must be on something strange to be arguing that ...

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
