I am moved to tears by your heartfelt concern red.

( Now how do I give myself a vomit emoji ?)

The fact that Pickett hasn't been on to this by now is of huge concern.

Hope he's ok!

He's been vomiting his way across and over 'land' for many days now

Welcome to big school....

We have really thrown away a potential flag. We beat both those GF sides this season.

Yep we let this one get away. No doubt about it.

Just us and Essendon, who beat us.

Go figure.

And yes, we did. But I'm hoping to enjoy 2024 on its merits, not with baggage.

And meanwhile we've got this:

Nowhere near Brisbane..you're kidding yourself. 

Everyone in the top half can have a win..its winning when it's tough or when it matters that makes a genuine Premiership team.

Both those sides also beat Melbourne this year...and how does the record vs Carlton fit into your rather childish argument 

Need to up the game to stay with those.

Sorry, IRW; it did sound like I was mounting an argument. But, as 'Mad As Hell' (aren't we all?!) character Chris Lorax would say, it was 'Just a bit of fun...' Missed the mark, obviously.

And anyway, embarrassingly, I think I did get my facts wrong: was it Collingwood and Carlton only we and Essendon beat?

Nice to be considered childish, though, approaching the big Seven-O! (see, I can't help myself😁)

Well at least we didn't kick badly this weekend.

I'm making pork dumplings for dinner.  Think I'll pop the AFLW game from Friday on while doing the wrappers.

You old [censored] !

No offense intended @DeelightfulPlay but the vomit emoji has nothing to do with your cooking -  it's just been a while since I handed one out.... and I know you have a thing for them.

And that's the tooth.

Don't worry - the only vomiting will be from me overstuffing myself with dumplings 😄

The best form of defence is attack because you can't defend the indefensible.

Success is getting what you want.

Happiness is wanting what you get.

Are we successful, or just happy?

2021 still makes me happy (1 ha'penny)

Watching the girls makes me happy (1 ha'penny)

We were reigning premiers in all 3 'divisions' at some stage during 2022 (1 ha'penny)

We've got to be heavily interested in finals in 4 (nearly 5) of the last 6 years (1 ha'penny)

Do you need a receipt?

Oh.

How [censored] up is the good old US of A ?

That Trump is a strong possibility for nomination is both scarcely believable and frightening ...... but that he could actually be elected is the stuff of nightmares.
