I think we need to get this thread back on to the footy, so let me pose the following question.

Which is greener, real grass or Astro turf?

At the risk of steering this thread back to the original question; Astro turf also comes in blue, which grass does not (unless painted) but that's a whole different question.

Has anyone noticed the ridiculous headlines that sub editors are placing on innocuous events.

Example: De Minaurs’ brutal girlfriend moment. 
Picture and story: she hugged him after his loss last night.

Its happening frequently and headlines have no relevance to actual events.

It's more than headlines Red!

Articles can be misleading, biased, unnecessarily emotive etc. etc.

The Hun was once a decent paper and The Rage was pretty good. Now The Hun make a good chip wrap or mulch while The Rage is only marginally better.

Every AFL player that makes the paper is " Star AFL player"even if they played  10 games 10 years ago.

My new Demon Chickens!

I realise this is a footy forum and not a chook forum but it’s off-season so I hope nobody minds. 

Besides, the four little bundles of feathery cuteness (below) are all named after current Dees players (my three fave players… plus Fritta 🙃) so this isn’t entirely off-topic. 

Footnote: I tragically lost my last clutch of bantams to a brazen fox who clearly didn’t get the memo re being nocturnal, nor that my backyard is in the middle of suburbia. So these lil guys are living in the house until they’re old enough to move into their outdoor accommodation… “Chook Manor” a nod to @Bitter but optimistic😁

Left to right: Langers, Fritta, Melksy and Harmesy. ❤️💙
