Have I missed anything important while I was on a break from the AFL?

Wow, that must be the longest time the thread has not had a post.

Well done Froggy, you have kept it going.

Anyone know if the girls' team has a coach yet?

I did post a comment as to have I missed anything important but 5he post vanished for some unknown reason 🤔

...and we all need to be supportive of this thread. Thank you for rising to the occasion, DF - 71 days without any activity was bordering on terminal 😵

I had to work on my disappointment about both my AFL and WAFL teams recent performances. It can be hard having one eye Red and the other eye Blue at times.

I have a feeling you may get some more enjoyment from your AFL team this year.

Great timing for a reappearance of this magnificent thread.

'Even Littler Goffy' has started solids this week and after Jackson Pollocking some sweet potato mash and then showing table-banging enthusiasm for rice porridge, pureed carrot and even 'boiled to hell' broccoli bits, it is time for his first sweet item.

Enter the Banana.

Updates as news breaks on this momentous occasion.

Next month the Mighty Black Swans will take on the V in Perth. As a young fella I loved watching the glorious Sandgropers beating the Eastern States teams. I don't have the same feeling when it comes to AFL club football of course. I sure my father was going to disown me when I started to supporting Melbourne. He was not a great supporter of the East. I on the other hand is much more open minded. I do miss the old fella, particularly whenever Melbourne beats the Dockers, my phone calls to him singing "It's a Grand Old Flag" is something I will never forget. Although he did soon stop taking my calls whenever the Dockers lost to Melbourne.

You sound far too chipper Frogger!

I am going for a long drive northward in the next few weeks and I intend running over as many of your cousins as I possibly can.

You're still allowed to drive? How is that possible?

Avoid anything red and blue, anything else is fair game 🎯

So that's what was missing!

Here we go, then, 'nicely' removed from 'nauseatingly nice'.

Sounds like someone put chlorine in the moat, or just simply hid the wine casks.

Mrs. Redleg was ill on the weekend with a stomach issue and we ended up spending the night in Emergency at a Hospital.

All good now.

Guess what she was told to eat, to help avoid future issues, yes BANANAS.

I of course like a good dutiful husband, have joined her in this quest.

I have done that recently Mr Leg spending hours in the emergency at night is not something I would even wish on a pies supporter. How is she now? Did the bananes do there thing?

All good thanks, bananas are magic and it is our anniversary tomorrow.

Funny how we applaud anniversaries.

It's a sad indictment when one really thinks about it.

But congrats nonetheless.

Yes, I am at Southland shopping centre and haven’t got lost yet, unlike my last visit to Chadstone shopping centre.

Littler Goffy made a fun mess of the banana but has now been provided with civilization's second greatest invention (after the epidural) - a holdable squishy thingy you can stuff soft foods in and which babies can then safely gum away at as little slobbery blobs squeeze out. It's like a teether and a self-feeder in one go. Honestly, it is just historically ingrained habit which stops us from all using these for all food, all the time.

I took umbrage with your suggestion... but then I realised that I'm a big fan of eating crunchy or chewy foods whenever I feel bored and snacks. So yes, I am effectively a big baby haha
