This morning I find myself genuinely depressed with the world on Friday 13th August 2021 and I don't believe in superstition. However the news via electronic and printed media is nothing but despair and sad stories. Try as I might I could find nothing uplifting. I feel like I want to return to bed for a week and hope the news is a bit improved next Friday. I really had no idea our world would be like this for my later years. But no matter how sad for me  what must it be like for the young! Hope the dees can improve our world on Sunday with a big win.

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

 

Perhaps your auto-correct is equally as pessimistic as you are.

I think my task for the rest of the day is to find something in the news to cheer you up. And anyone else feeling maudlin. Perhaps we can start a new thread which is a "Cheer up Demonland thread" with optimistic and heart-warming stories only.

Sadly I think it may take the honour of the shortest thread in demonland history. Might go and sit in the sun and watch my crows.

You are not alone there OD.

Things have to get better at some point and the Dees are top of the ladder in round 21.

That's all I've got for ya.   oh there's whisky too, that's nice

Agree.

Surely the ADF could play a role in that space. 

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...

IMO would be better placed at airports supporting permit checks, or at state border checkpoints

All this shows is that we are still a bunch of self interested colonies that do our own disjointed thing due to a massive vacuum of leadership by the Fed Govt

Leadership has changed to followship...my own new word sorry '@Demonstone'.

Followship is the art of following the trend...not setting or doing anything that might offend a group of important voters.

Tap into what they're thinking then go with that.

It's the antithesis of Leadership.

It's common to all sides of politics now, but I will say our PM is a renowned exponent.

The leader of the opposition, if anyone bothered to listen to him is probably not a lot better.

That’s is good as I can come up with dc. This does  not happen on my laptop however I bought a new one 18 months ago and at the time I was wondering if I should buy extra warranty coverage. For reasons I still don’t understand I pushed the include button. For the last  six months it has been  getting slower and slower. After 1.5 hours on the phone to Dell This morning a guy is coming next week to replace the hard drive. Just for once I pushed the right button. Now all I need for a perfect weekend ( covid life ) is the Dees to win well on Sunday.

I know precisely how you feel OD. I turn on the TV and there's Gladys telling us that today we have 390 new cases in Sydney, change the channel and it seems like half the world is at war, half the world is ablaze, record high temperatures and flooding all over the world etc... and then I check in on Facebook and it's still full of (or should that be 'fool of') climate change denialists, anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, etc etc.  The world is well on its way to hell in a hand basket.  And to top it off, we just had a murder committed just a few streets away from where I Iive.

Poor Perth, missing out again. 

Here's some evidence that some types of crimes worldwide have reduced during the pandemic. And here's some more, although it does point out that some crime types (online fraud, for example) have increased. 

I have learnt in my 25+ years in the job, to take stats with a grain of salt. The bosses and lollies use them to support whatever they are trying to push.

Online Fraud has been on the up since 2012,  Organised Crime well and truly got their tentacles into it

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
