The old UnclevBitters would not stay so quiet after being challenged like this! 🙄 Hope the old fella is well 👍 and looking after all those Alpacas he has on his gentleman estate? Alternatively, has he become a Collingwood supporter and now actually like us, so he has nothing bad to say about us?

Not been paying much attention to the club this off season so unaware of any current injuries. But I find any problems are either coaching or Uncle Bitters fault. So if its not the coach it must be the latter. His spikes have a lot to answer for.

Bananas and more red and blue should fix it

Excessive injuries during pre season sounds like a coaching problem 😕 to me.

Hope everyone is getting ready for the 2026 AFL season? Stock up on Bananas 🍌 as I feel another frustrating season ahead.

It's cool 😎 on this side of Australia 🇦🇺 at the moment. It's really pleasant weather 😌

I remember my father calling Australia Day, Sydney's Birthday, once it was set on the 26 January. To me, Australia Day should be on the 1 of January as the founding of Australia was on the 1 January 1901. But I guess there more New South Wales people who like the rest of us celebrating their birthday 🎂

I hope everyone enjoyed Sydney's birthday?

It will soon be six years since my stroke which left me unable to work. Not really getting any better, but not getting any worse either. Yes she is a great team player who can also score. But she now in the USA team and will be hard for our girls to stop her plays.

Yes that is her, my memory is not as good as it was before the stroke.

You Easterners steal all the good shops

Well you are missing out. More drama the a Melbourne Football Club board room meeting. The league is currently renegotiating the player salaries and conditions. They offered the players about a four time benefits increase, but the players are turning down the offer. Think the players want a similar deal to the men. Unfortunately for the ladies they don't generate around 11 billion dollars in revenue that the men do. Last season the WNBA lost fifty million dollars, which the NBA had to subsidised. There is talk about a lock out of players this season and maybe the end of the WNBA. There is a young player that has attracted a lot of attention from the public and sponsors called Cathlain Clark. As a result the attendance at games has significantly increased as well the TV coverage. The league is trying not too promote her, which is weird, and maybe allow other players to physically attack her on field. Little to no protection from the umpires. The old veterans appear to really dislike all the attention she getting. I think the NBA and WNBA will undergo an investigation by the FBI.

I had heard that Shopping Centres are not safe over East.

Any good news to report?

OD your a basketball fan? I thought the Melbourne Football Club has been a train wreck 🤔 lately. But then I have seen what's happening to the WNBA, WOW. The best soap opera I have ever seen. How too destroy a sport in ten stupid moves 😳 🤔 😐 😒 😕 😤 😳

Does that involve bananas and alpacas?

You're still allowed to drive? How is that possible? Avoid anything red and blue, anything else is fair game 🎯

Next month the Mighty Black Swans will take on the V in Perth. As a young fella I loved watching the glorious Sandgropers beating the Eastern States teams. I don't have the same feeling when it comes to AFL club football of course. I sure my father was going to disown me when I started to supporting Melbourne. He was not a great supporter of the East. I on the other hand is much more open minded. I do miss the old fella, particularly whenever Melbourne beats the Dockers, my phone calls to him singing "It's a Grand Old Flag" is something I will never forget. Although he did soon stop taking my calls whenever the Dockers lost to Melbourne.

I had to work on my disappointment about both my AFL and WAFL teams recent performances. It can be hard having one eye Red and the other eye Blue at times.

Have I missed anything important while I was on a break from the AFL? I did post a comment as to have I missed anything important but 5he post vanished for some unknown reason 🤔

Husbands need to be supportive

We had to wait for the new CEO, so why not also wait for the new Senior Coach? IMO our new appointments don't seem to prioritise Melbourne. But I guess the 2026 AFL season will show if the right decisions 🤔 have been made.

Great news! He is a coach I can fully support. Bananas 🍌 for everyone 😀

True, I wanted Goodwin gone. In my view we needed new leadership. But now I worried we are about to get more ex Collingwood staff. That never ends well for us.

I don't think Goodwin is coming back.
