Same here mate, I am way more excited about going to spend three days on a Dutch island with my in laws than this game Edit: how good’s this weather?!

Clearly @binman needs to go back to being a call-in. Love your hosting mate but it’s just not working.

Amsterdam sunny and looking to be a fairly clear day with a high of around 25. Shouldn’t affect the footy too much.

Mate even having to wait till 10h today. What am I meant to do? Watch Eagles v the Pies? ?

What a beautiful way to spend a Saturday morning (also Europe) and a Sunday morning with the replay. Few things to add (though I’m sure it’s all been said) last week the team disposal was up a notch but Tracc’s was down despite his huge influence otherwise. This week his standard was up with most of the rest of the team and it had a big impact. I reckon the same is coming from Brayshaw. He is getting in good spots, seems to be running back harder, but had three shocking kicks in the first three qtrs. That being said, he also put that absolute bullet onto Weid’s chest in the third, which the weed unfortunately missed. It shows that Brayshaw does still have it, is still developing, and given our general resurgence I wouldn’t be surprised if he turns the corner really soon. Speaking of resurgence, I am just so proud of the culture at the club. Of note are some of the little connections between certain players after goals or when on the bench. I am loving the Harley and Kozzie big and little brother thing that is going on. Harl’s just seems so proud of Koz every time he does anything, but Bennell also has a maturity about him that I never saw in his previous iterations at the suns and freo. I reckon he, as well as Uncle Nev, are working hard to keep kozzie in line and on track to fulfill his immense potential. Just stoked. Love the winning feeling and may the Hawks be in for six decades of let down and mediocrity.

Indeed the same can be said as regards the context of ‘canon law’ and ‘bugger’

I think you’re going for ‘lethargic.’ Laconic denotes Lacedaemonians, being Spartans, who were known for their verbal brevity. edit: sp

The context of racism against historically diminished people is different to racism against people of European heritage, just because of the nature of historical events. The children of perpetrators do not inherit the crime. The children of victims do inherit the suffering. Punkt.

Oscar doing a Jack Viney impression, shrugging off a couple of sun and bounding up the wing...bloody loved it.

Ever considered just saying it quietly to yourself? Or just don’t hit enter after every post of outrage and rather build them up to just send one nonsensical and flabbergasted rant per day, rather than the usual squillion? Just my opinion.

Your ignorance does not excuse how offensive this is to the thousands of people in healthcare who have been working tirelessly, globally, actually dealing with the severities of it. Get your head out of your [censored], bloody pathetic.

Collingwood want a monopoly on prison bars.. How ironic.

Agreed. For some reason he has also been copping [censored] rather than accolades since day dot in the media

This is defo a thing, yes

Rather live with all these dirty European smokers than in the nanny state Australia has become ?

Thankfully ratings aren’t premiership points! ?

I work in tourism in NL, everything is shut down and messages from people working in medical care say that the fan has not yet been hit. Am one of many freelancers who have just lost prob months of income. We had to cancel our wedding for August. Hate to say it folks but it will all be cancelled soon. I like the idea of a quarantined 8 week season, and would not give two [censored] about an asterix next to it. But as of this week, the idea of doing anything but suspending it all would be ridiculed here. Get inside Dees, never before has sitting on your bum been so crucial to world health. The positive is that, in the face of great social threat, the power of social unity emerges. We are seeing it here, everyone is in it together and no matter the uncertainty, solidarity will remain throughout. Let’s see what happens. Strength and love to everyone. Don't panic; isolate yourselves.

No crowds for Round 1. Perfect conditions to play Eagles in Perth

Apparently I’ve mentioned it 5 times today. And it’s only 9am

He is showing outstanding pre season form. Really hunted & attacked that new contract. Top news

Welcome Harley! Love this!

A huge thanks to all track reporters from a very cold Amsterdam, as well as to Andy, Nasher et al. Excitement brewing. Go Dees.

Great post.

Was at his first match at Whitten oval against the Roys, loved shouting Oooooze for years thereafter. Would love this appointment. Make it happen Dees.

Many won't get what you're saying as it flies in the face of our general acculturation regarding such things. I think you're bang on.
