We may  need a nostalgic return to the days of yore dc when a torn up newspaper had to suffice for those  specific ablutions.

Off course good old Henry V111 had a more innovative solution   He employed a Royal ..... err .... wiper to do the job

Didn’t jump to anything, Martian, just passing on what I heard

Sorry, 'DAG'.   Its a bad habit I have,  of quoting someone instead of  just commenting,  to it.

A habit due to not understanding the quote processes, at the time, back then.  Now its an auto habit, I need to try to change.

Just make sure Rupert,  is facing up,  'dw'.

I'm surprised he doesn't have his image on the pound note, buy now.

I suppose One could always go direct to Bolts page and tear away. 

That would be the obvious alternative to rupert.

Bloody yanks

Considering the US went from a handful of cases and Trump bragging about how he has it under control, to 1,000+ cases in under a week, I’d say they’re probably making the right call.

Jesus we have 12 cases in Victoria. TWELVE in 5 million. The hysteria is ridiculous.

Apparently schools are likely to be shut down from next week... you think Corona is bad, just wait until parents can’t send their devil children to school or go to work themselves. Welcome to the end of the world!

Player testing will be expedited to keep season intact. 

 The standard time for a person being tested for COVID-19 and receiving the results is five days. But AFL players are expected to receive their findings sooner. 

Plan to expedite player testing to keep season intact

It shouldn't be any different to any other person.

Being self employed I can't afford the wait time either.

No special treatment for the AFL...

They had 12 cases in Italy at one point as well. Now it's over 10K, with hundreds dead.

Isolation and reducing contact is the only way of reducing infections. There is no cure, no vaccine.

Just saying.

As to the wisdom of reducing contact, isolation, and shutting things down (also as to how infectious this is):

"New York officials traced more than 50 coronavirus cases back to one attorney"

"Just two days after the man's positive results, on March 4, his 20-year-old son, a student at New York's Yeshiva University, also tested positive. The wife and 14-year-old daughter of the attorney both also tested positive on the same day. So did the neighbor who drove him to the hospital. And a friend of the attorney. The friend's wife, two sons and daughter tested positive that day too. The day after, on March 5, eight other people connected to the attorney tested positive for the virus."

etc.

I'm in France, and all very serious here. We have over 1000 cases (including 4 MP's)

I posted that on Monday morning. It's now Wednesday evening, and we're up to 2300 cases and 48 dead.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
