If that is what you are seeing on an iPhone then that is what you should be seeing. Demonland font or text size hasn't been changed. Are you referring to a setting on your iPhone to make font bigger for old people? https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT202828

Fair enough but unless you lock yourself away in another room (presumably far away or sound proof) there is no way for your sleep cycle to not be affected which can have an impact on other aspects of your life. Plus there are other factors such as the stress on a marriage that having a new born particularly if the wife is doing the heavy lifting. It is a wonderful time but it could also be a stressful time. Putting aside the sleep aspect I'm sure that during the time of COVID it would be doubly stressful to be bringing up a child in this current climate. I'll add that this can be even more stressful if faced with the possibility of having to their your wife and newborn to hub for an unknown period of time interstate.

I don't think you can say that with any certainty. They are AFL footballers not Hollywood starlets.

No settings have been changed that would have caused this.

This is what I can see on my iPhone now.

There is no mobile mode per se. The site should just detect the device or size of the screen or even browser. For example if you resize your browser on a PC it will eventually turn the site to "mobile mode" to accomodate the size of the browser.

I remember taking a week or 2 off work (I am fortunate to have flexibility in that regard) when my kids were born and can concur that it can be taxing both mentally, emotionally and physically even when you are just acting as support staff. Having interrupted sleep doesn't help either. It would be foolish to think that it could not have an effect but that does not mean that it has had an effect. We don't know how hands on anyone is with their new borns. I have an acquaintance that never lifted a finger to help. Didn't change a nappy, give a bottle or get up in the middle of the night to soothe. He slept like a baby (pardon the ironic pun) for the entire new born stage. I'm by no means suggesting that this is the case here. None of us know what the situation actually is.

The outcomes of Melbourne’s recent games against the Gold Coast Suns are a pretty good barometer of how the teams are faring. The Demons easily accounted for them twice in 2018, the last win being a 96-point cakewalk at the MCG in Round 20 when they scored a whopping 21.17.143 to 7.5.47. Ironically, Melbourne’s score of 9.3.57 at the first break that afternoon is leading its highest score for a full game to date this year by 3 points. In those days, they played fast, skillful football, moved the ball well by hand and foot and usually found a target in front of goal. But something happened to them between the end of 2018 and the start of the following season. They simply lost the ability to score. The team remained capable of getting the ball out of the middle at stoppages and more often than their opponents has had players lurking with intent inside the 50 metre forward arc but the scoring just dried up. They no longer had the polish to grab and convert the opportunities that came their way during the course of a game. An example was their encounter against the Suns at Metricon Stadium in Round 8 last year when they fell in at the last moment by a point after scoring just eight goals in a game that marked a 95 point downturn in form. And that downturn appears to have continued to the point where this week’s opponents have three wins and a handsome percentage advantage over a Melbourne that has a solitary one point win on the board to date. Moreover, the pundits are saying that the club’s season is already doomed — along with those of Adelaide, Fremantle, Sydney, North Melbourne and Carlton. Well, I’m willing to cut the Dees some slack pending team selection this week. After all, their three defeats to date have come at the hands of sides that won 15, 16 and 16 games last year including the 2019 premier and the end-of-season-ladder-leader and the 2018 premier on their own near-impregnable dung hill. So it’s not over yet as long as Melbourne can get a bit of momentum and pressure going as it did in the 1½ quarters of real football in the four games it has played so far this season. The change of environment to a place north of the border and away from their fellow New Mexicans is exactly what the doctor ordered for the squad of players sent up to Sin City for the next 4 to 6 weeks — as long as there’s no similar outbreak in the team hotel up there to match the one experienced in the places down here where the state government so graciously hosted returning overseas travellers (memo: contact the head of hotel security first thing tomorrow morning). Gold Coast superstar Matt Rowell is conveniently out of the way this week leaving only one red head on the field in Clayton Oliver capable of taking the game by the throat. And with the impending selection promised by Melbourne of some forwards believed to be capable of kicking with a measure of accuracy rather than spraying it all over the place, I’m confident that this week’s team will be stung into action against a youthful side that hasn’t travelled well in the past and will hopefully find themselves blinded enough by the bright lights of Kings Cross to fall on their swords north of our border. Melbourne by 36 points. THE GAME Melbourne v Gold Coast Suns at Giants Stadium Saturday 11 July, 2020 at 6.05pm HEAD TO HEAD Overall - Melbourne 10 wins Gold Coast Suns 3 wins At Giants Stadium - Melbourne 0 wins Gold Coast Suns 0 wins Past five matches - Melbourne 5 wins Gold Coast Suns 0 wins The Coaches - Goodwin 3 wins Dew 0 wins MEDIA TV - Fox Footy Channel - Live at 6.00pm RADIO - TBA THE LAST TIME THEY MET Melbourne 8.13.61 defeated Gold Coast Suns 9.6.60 at Metricon Stadium, Round 8 2019 After a dour struggle all day in which the Demons held the ascendency, the Suns edged ahead by a goal with less than a minute on the clock. Marty Hore came to the party with a long goal and Tom McDonald chipped in with a point just before the siren. Never in doubt. The Demons had a eye on a finals berth and stormed their way to a 96 point win on the back of a nine goal final quarter. Jesse Hogan (4 goals) and James Harmes (3) were on fire up forward and the Demons had winners in nearly every position on the ground.

Moot point re: Casey in 2020 but ...

Spoiler Alert: He did. We won’t lose this week. Although I did have to cut him off because my internet connection was [censored] last night and it just couldn’t handle the 2 cohosts connections let alone 3. If we win a gofundme will be set up to pay @binman to call in each week.

It’s kick the Dees week.

It would be interesting to know who is flipping the bill for the hubs and if all teams are on a level playing field in this regard. It’s unfair if we can only afford to bring x amount of players and staff and another team can bring the kitchen sink (home state teams aside).

Rather than start a new thread I'll post this here because it loosely relates to hub life. And our Burgo goes wack. Also a few other journos disagree.
