I know I have posted on this technique before, but the Indian squat makes toilet paper redundant. How do you think I coped during the Italian and Spanish Civil Wars, let alone on my hunting and fishing exploits. Clean, hygienic and efficient. And forget the gym. Its a great way to strengthen your quads, improve core strength and lower back, and for old guys like myself, improves balance out of sight. The other benefits include fertilizing your veggie patch, pot plants and roses. Garden paths, front porches, outside the backdoor and driveways should be avoided. . Close to the fence of unpleasant neighbours, preferably close to a back door or open window is therapeutic for controlling anger and mood.

Trying to find the accounts? Oops the system crashed and all records erased. Looking to see if there are any IOUs on the back of envelopes or napkins.

Crackers summed up Peter Keenan perfectly.

A positive message from this guy. Will we hear anything from MFC President or CEO ? Or have they been cut already ?

The pity of the postponement of the season is that it delays proper assessment and decisions on players and coach. A little like an aborted early employee performance review. In a normal season the halfway mark would give us a much clearer picture of individual and team performance, and that of the coach. There was a lot to like about our performance but that is balanced against the reappearance of the same old problems and deficiencies as 2019. How long does it take to rectify the same old problems. Can they be rectified with our existing personnel? Sadly, that will probably have to wait until 2021, and, even then, it will be simply be like a restart of 2020. At the same time, some personnel will probably be gone due to the recast footy landscape.

Agree Daisy. As Eddie commented, clubs are going to have rebuild from the ground up. Club survival will be the force that drives change and that change will have to disregard previous arrangements, contracts and preferences regarding players, coaching and support staff. I suspect that someone like Burgess will probably go. I tend to agree (reluctantly) with the velvet sledgehammer that it provides an opportunity to slash support staff. Like many others, the number of support staff seems to have grown exponentially over the last few years. Just look at the numbers in the coaching box and on the ground at quarter time breaks. Lets hope that it provides an opportunity for media outlets to cut footy media scribes and hangers on who make a living talking and writing crap. Far too many second raters making their living their AFL connection. Hopefully, some positives will come from the changes imposed on the industry. At a personal level, it seems heartless as it means that many will lose their jobs and income but that is the case across society. On a macro level, it just seems that there has been a blow-out in folk making a living from AFL and that it is time that the sails are trimmed. Keep safe mate.

Still more upside than many others. Wondering if his concussion issues have affected him physically and mentally. As with everything else at the moment, views and decisions on players and coach are probably going to be delayed for 6-12 months. The impact on clubs, their finances and their viability is going to be huge. As Eddie said yesterday, clubs will have to rebuild from ground up. This will mean massive upheaval and loss of players, coaching and support staff. The club may still exist but it will be a changed organisation.

Time to watch Jimmy Swaggart or join the pentecostals. And after a full conversion, you will be protected by the blood of Jesus. But sorry, no footy.

Lock them up and throwaway the key Lucifer unless you have access to a 303.

The alternative view. Agree to disagree. I will choose life over entertainment.

Greg Baum's article in today's Age should be required reading for the AFL, Clubs and Players. Will it change their position ? Probably not immediately. Selfishness and greed prevails for the time being. Like the Titanic, the good ship AFL will plow on through rough seas until they hit the ice-berg that will sink the ship.

Like Nero, the AFL fiddles whilst Rome burns.

Feel sorry for him but its the least of our worries.

There is a lot of pain to come for everyone. Footballers included. It is a war and sacrifices are going to be made by all. Sure everyone is affected differently given wealth and health factors but everyone is going to be affected. Football is an optional extra, not essential to life and wellbeing. Season should be cancelled soon. The season is not going to happen and the sooner the decision is made the better. Read Dr Peter Larkins this morning. Footballers are going to contract the virus.

Earl, when you start marketing this world-wide you can reduce the cost of production by diluting the solution to 50/50. This will reduce the cost but there will still be enough alcohol to kill the germs as long as you are using 60 per cent proof. One of the benefits is that you can market different flavours. Lemon, orange, passion fruit or go for the herbal top ups such as sage, mint etc.

Daisy as long as you have the squat technique perfect (where you position both feet is critical) and have a hose, jug of water or creek water you dint need to worry about your hand or finger nails. All the same, in my travels across the plains of India I never shook hands or took food from a one armed Indian.

I am not sure what the fuss is about. Ever since my pilgrimage trips to India and watching the Indians undertake their ablutions by the Yamuna and Ganga, I have followed suit. If you look at the anatomy of the body and the geometry of the squat position, it is a piece of cake. As clean and clinical as a surgeons knife! Very hygienic and satisfactory on all counts. As long as your Princess is not watching.!

You can always build a wall to keep out the scum uncle. If you do go to your boutique supermarket make sure you wear mask and gloves and carry your hand gel. All items that I’m sure you use daily in The Manor” .My little tip on hand lotion. Fill up a small bottle with Four Pillars Gin/Navy Strength (60 per cent alcohol) with a touch of lemon essence. This is cheaper and more effective than any other lotion. Spray on hands and any other body parts to maintain your hygiene standards. Particularly important to stop human transmission but also to prevent transmission from any surface including toys. And very good as a mouth wash.

Lucifer I can see you as the Alan Kohler of Demonland.

Staggering, given that one of the most fundamental tenets of socially developed states (perhaps we should exclude the US) is to maintain public health systems and look after all groups in society, poor, rich, young and old. I suspect that Boris was flying a flag for dubious political reasons. He is now backing away from that stance again for political reasons. In virology terms the herd immunity argument is correct, but in societal terms it is inhumane.. Ashley's comments are all about acting in a humane way. Its interesting that modern popular leaders like Boris, Trump and ScoMo irrespective of their IQ, seem devoid of reasoning, analysis and empathy.

An old friend of mine and Cats tragic living overseas sent me a text message at quarter time that simply read " The Cats are still at Hoppers Crossing" with the early prediction that the Cats were gone and a diatribe on Scott and the Geelong "Prima Donna's". Also respectful comment that the Demons were playing a fantastic game of team footy. Made my day.

AFL , players and clubs must act as one.

Ah good comments enlightened one. Italy was slow to react, as has Terra Scomo. We also do not have the ICU beds, respirators and protective equipment to cope with a sudden spike in cases. And we have too many people with a laissez faire attitude. From politicians down many want a bob each way. You don’t need to be a scientist or genius. You just need to look at what’s happening overseas and how governments have reacted.

Why are you celebrating your 40th DubDee, you are already well into middle-age.
