Last Sunday I was concussed when hit in the head by an Izak Rankine set shot. I find that since then I’m an exceptionally nice person. 😁

I simply cannot be rude even if I tried, to such a degree that I don’t feel like vomiting at every post of yours. But…

… you’re pushing it here, buddy. We sheilas are the backbone of society. Don’t you forget it!

PS: make the most of this niceness since it mayn’t last long. If Gilligan’s Island or any of those old shows are anything to go by, I’ll be restored to my old self when next I’m hit in the head. This could happen as soon as tomorrow coz sitting directly behind the goals is an invitation for such. 😳

Perhaps you should imitate Gus and wear head protection?

We do have a massive Gussy fan who wears a replica Gussy helmet during every match. Pretty pointless though, he’s been hit on the head with it on and without and he says there was no difference. I was lucky not to have suffered a very bad outcome. The ball hit the mini banner I was holding aloft and because I was pulling it taut it lessened the impact to my head. There’s been way worse things that’ve happened to others: one of our CS members once saw the ball coming at warp speed and reflexively put her arm in front of her then 10yo daughter’s face to protect her and ended up with a broken wrist. Also, folks who wear glasses are sitting ducks. 😑

Ouch! Should they leave those pre-game nets up then? That sounds seriously dangerous.

Yanks have changed ladder for medals in swimming World Championships, which is always Gold medal leader first and so on. They started their reporting that way.

Now that Aussies are leading with 10 Gold to USA 3, they have changed the leader ladder to total of all medals won first.

Pathetic!

It wouldn’t be the same watching through nets. ☹️

Incidentally, pre-game goal kicking practice is when many mishaps occur, despite the net. Firstly, the balls are coming hard and fast and repeatedly. You’d be amazed at how many of them go over the net or on either side. But the main reason is because we’re not watching the players. We get all the gear out and set up our area etc. and for the most part have our backs to them. All good, concussion protocols don’t apply to the CS. 😊

Pathetic!

In the US, international sport is defined as "The US beats the world", so anything inconsistent with that is downplayed, at best.

For the 2009 Queen's Birthday game I sat behind the goals at the city end with my then Pies gf. During the warm up shots at goal I looked down for a couple of seconds, probably to look at my phone and the next thing I know there is a Sherrin footy right there in my lap! It landed there perfectly as if I’d chest marked it. No pain, no nothing. Amazing luck, you couldn't make it up. 

I remember Jim Stynes had caught a ball in the crowd earlier that season so I raised it up and yelled that I was Jimmy to everyone!

On a more serious note, has anyone noticed that aperol spritz often tastes quite different, depending on the maker?

PS: Mrs Redleg is quite partial to an expresso martini and I can tell you, from having sneaked a sip here and there, they are quite delicious.

Have to admit rather sheepishly, I had my first pinacolada in many years last night and it was very disappointing. I remember it as a creamy drink and this one wasn’t that at all.

On another note, what BS the AFL spins, with another example being the ambassadorial money they allow some clubs like the rumoured hundreds of thousands of dollars Dimma could be paid by the AFL to coach GC, outside the footy cap for “promoting Queensland footy”.

What pure garbage. Just say you are giving them a handout, to get the coach you want them to have.

My last pinacolada was in Vegas about 8 years ago at Paris casino. It came in a massive Eiffel tower glass and I could see the guy tip half a bottle of rum in. I just managed to make it to the end but got dared to have another one. I was totally floored the next day and could barely move. The mere smell of pineapple juice made me sick for at least a year afterwards.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
