yeah, no need to cut me to the quick 😭

Don’t get on the wrong side of me, now. You’ll end up DaisyPusher instead of DaisyCutter.

LOL: I had to check what thread we’re on. Talk about straying off topic. 😆

I’ll be looking out for you on DL tomorrow, OD. I’d better see you posting, or there’ll be trouble! You’re never too old to be put over someone’s knee, you know.

They're too busy knocking on residential front doors (like mine) to make sure we are home during 14 days iso. A necessary job, but not for army personnel in camo uniforms, particularly as many in my hood are migrants from war-torn countries. At least drop the silly camo clothes in a suburban street. But I digress...

Do you want them to walk around in thongs and shorts ? It is their current uniform and has been for a number of years just the same as it was jungle greens for a large period of time. They are accompanying a police officer so police numbers are not overstretched.

Actually no, you are wrong. They are accompanying a Dept Health employee. 

Of course I'm not suggesting they wear shirts and thongs. You are being your usual obtuse and condescending self to suggest so. 

Army personnel wearing full camo gear walking residential streets is not a great message in a suburb with many migrant families from war-torn countries. That might be hard to understand from where you are, but not here.

Keep going by yourself if you must, I'm out.

    I Think Stiff Arm has been stiffed daisycutter

    Could this be the AFL next season ?

    The (NFL) league’s head office sent a memo to teams stating that if a game cannot be rescheduled during the league’s current 18-week schedule due to a Covid outbreak among unvaccinated players, the team with the outbreak will forfeit the game outright and will be credited with a loss.

    Here’s the kicker: players on both teams will not be paid for the lost contest, and the team responsible for the cancelled game – the one with the outbreak – will cover the finances for the side without the outbreak. They will also be subject to further discipline from the commissioner’s office if it’s determined the outbreak was due to a team or player not correctly adhering to the league’s Covid protocol.

    NSW going to state wide lockdown 7 weeks too late with 1.5 hour notice posted on Twitter.

    Absolute hubris from a state that wanted to prove they could do it "better" than Victoria.

    As if she didn’t know at her 11am press conference this would happen. She just wanted to avoid getting smashed by the media for making this obviously far too late decision. 
    Absolutely disgusting to publish this news on social media. How many elderly people use Twitter? FFS be a leader and stand up. 
    Also 7 days? Who are you kidding!

    PS why after a thousand time of typing "Dees" does it change it to Fees. 

     

    That's obvious Mr Old.  Subliminally your predictor also hates that awful abbreviation.

    Tip:  Use 'DEMONS' instead FTW! 😁

    Well, it does make one realise why we got rid of the ‘gold standard’ back in ‘68…

    In the spirit of WA becoming a break away country with their own COVID rules.....

    What's up with the font on the scoreboard here at Optus?? Strange style only legible by non-vaccinated, eliminationists??

    Nothing like a nice big bunch of cynicism during these already depressing times.

    Did we? And are they?

    Three more questions: How do you know? Has it been stated somewhere?

    And most importantly, does it matter?

    This is a really backward way of looking at the battle against COVID, the whole point to vaccinations is to get people out and about and mingling with different communities. Staying zero COVID after vaccinations have reached the 80% point means you might as well cut yourself off from the world for the next 3-5 years.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
