Today marks the 95th International Women’s Day (75th in Australia).

A day to acknowledge the achievements of all women, particularly those who strove tirelessly for equity, the results of which means among many other things we have Kate as our president, and a deserving President at that.

To quote a sign-off I share in PMs with another Dees gal ( 👋 xxx)  on here…

SHEILAS UNITE!!!!

PS: before any of the ‘usual suspects’ get on here biiitching and Moaning… “why isn’t there an International Men’s Day???” There is, every November 19th. It’s just that y’all are too lazy to get off your arzes to promote it. 😝😁🙃

Yep, definitely a day to acknowledge. Obviously we don't want to only save our best for one day of the year but it's always good to have a stop and think moment.

And every other day, except most of us men are just too selfish and stupid to admit it.

Even if Australian women had achieved equality in all areas (which they have not) they have every right to celebrate International Womens Day every year. Think of it like your birthday, it's OK.

In my case it is, MD!

So I have two reasons to celebrate today, which justifies the fact that I’m currently polishing off another bottle of champagne with my gal-pal who is also a birthday girl.

🥂 Here’s to day-drinking! 🥂

Can we merge this with @WalkingCivilWarthread which is also a great thread.  TIA

Umm, what happened to her thread?  I haven't been on DL all afternoon but it seems to have disappeared from the main Forum page? 😟

Did someone derail it?

I can't find it Andy.  It was on the main Board this morning.

Found it.  (Search feature is my friend 🙃)  Not sure which forum it is in...

 

Edit:  Oops, found it the General Discussion Forum. 

Just read the thread.  Someone really ruffled @WalkingCivilWar's feathers.  Not sure it is a good idea to ruffle the feathers of a 'ranga' - fiery at the best of times😍

This is off topic (football) granted, but is it really? 

There are many women involved in the AFL like our president. Our AFLW team. It is still  International Womens Day, leave this topic on the main board, at least until people have had the chance to read it and respond.

Have a great day!  🥂

I can understand the drinking WCW. It’s tough when you actually hit 30.

Yeah that’d be some of mine. And rightly so. I may or may not have threatened to burn DL to the ground. 😬 As Luci @Lucifers Herosaid best not to ruffle the feathers of a fiery ranga. Wise words indeed.

Special mention to my mother-in-law and aunt-in-law, who took the 'International' part to the extreme by spending the day flying back to Vietnam.

International Women's Day is also a much bigger deal in Vietnam than here, so I'm glad they also get four extra hours of the day there to celebrate!

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
