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.

    i see women's day as a day just to celebrate women in all positive ways

    the other 364 days of the year are there to fight for better equality

    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.

    Happy birthday!  You were almost a teetotaler when joining DL.  What has the DA done to you🙄

    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!

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
