Honestly, this post is tiresome and sanctimonious 

It’s fine that you say so, but you mustn’t forget: everyone/entitled/opinion etc. I’ve had that thrown at me so many times, surely it applies to everyone.

Isn't this the same as the facepalm reaction?

I guess they’re similar enough. I just think sometimes an eye roll is more apt. Maybe it’s because I live with a teenager so I cop a lot of 180 degree eye rolls, usually accompanied with a sigh so deep it’d blow your hair back. 🙄😤😁

At the 9.43 mark of the third quarter, after Hopper had injured his leg again, I noted Oliver giving a pat to the injured opposition player.

I turn 74 today, and the older I get, the more gestures like that impress me. 

With regard to Oliver's performance, he's slowly but surely getting there. he has come from a long way back. All power to him.

First and foremost: Happy birthday Monbon! Hope you had a wonderful day. 💕

 I fully agree with what you and others have said about Clarrie showing fantastic sportsmanship yesterday. But I’m wondering if people feel the same way about Clarrie letting Cripps know he had visible blood on his face, thereby prompting Cripps to wipe it away lest he be sent off on the blood rule. It happened towards the end of a match last year and I distinctly remember folks sticking the boots in saying it was dumb of Clarrie to do so because it would’ve been to our advantage had Cripps been sent off (in a tight match).

FWIW, I don’t think Clarrie ought to have been bagged for this. Helping others is obviously an innate quality of his. Why would anyone want him to change? And good luck trying to get him to change.

We got owned by Brisvegas for 4 Quarters, but you call it an overreaction. 
Did you actually watch tonight’s game?

I never called it an overreaction. I’m calling it a useless reaction.

Yes I did watch tonight’s game. Not sure what difference that makes but then I’m not the one posing the useless questions.

Love your work Werridee! I keep imagining your house with different team lineups on with every window. 

I feel like a voyeur when Werridee gets his selection on. 

How predictable the whole “how did we lose to [insert name of team who were just thumped]? They’re absolutely sch!tt and yet they beat us!” thing is. Extremely predictable and extremely tiresome.

What a redundant comment to make in general, but especially when it was the Giants and not North Melbourne or WCE who belted the Lions.

I hate it almost as much as I hate this old chestnut (to be said in your sternest voice while wagging your finger): “I hope you’re watching this, Goodwin. You could learn a thing or two.”

Mods, we really need an eye roll reaction.

Allow me to continue with my obsession re commentators selectively calling certain players by their first + last names ...

Harris Andrews, Harris Andrews, Harris Andrews ....

As previously noted, they do it more with players with first names that are more like surnames. 

Thank you for your interest.

I’m seriously starting to worry about you, Bingers.

Anyone remember what happened late September the last time there was a draw on Anzac Day?

Carlton won the premiership

I don’t expect to win every week but the last 3-4 weeks we haven’t played good footy and are lucky walking away with 3-1. I’ll eat my hat if we win even 1 out of our next 2. A lot will need to go right I think. 

Still-shots are welcome but only if accompanied by a video. Any short vid platform will suffice, TikTok probs being the best. Thanks in advance. 😉

There is only one Davey out there. Why do the commentators insist on naming him 'Alwyn Davey Jnr' every time? There's only one player with the surname Davey out there. Thankfully he didn't feature much in the play.

And don't get me started on 'Bobby Hill' !!! 

 

 

Thinking of organising an intervention for you, Bingers. 😅

Maybe they knew that the first time wasn't their fault?

Yes, that error was forgiven when the others realised the reason behind it.

PS: you have a killer memory, Layz. 💕

Disco’s third goal was largely due to the skill and professionalism of the person in the cheer squad holding the target. 😁

Redemption for her dreadful error in last year’s round 22 match vs Carlton where she held the target up between the goal and behind posts. She thought she’d never again be asked to hold up the target. But her comrades backed her in and she didn’t let them down.

Now to work towards getting her giant flag licence back, which should be soon. I mean, it’s not like she took anyone’s eye out.

Abby is very good interviewing players and I think he has built up the trust with them. 

 

Holmes lost me last year when she interviewed that filthy thug Maynard after our QF and began by asking him in a very sympathetic and caring way how he was feeling. She was concerned about HIS feelings. Get [censored].

I'd rather keep Schache for another year.

Lobb’s 20 times the player Schache is, and Lobb’s not particularly good.

Any chance to bash Schache, huh.

“If we play like that next week vs (whomever), we’re done.”

”Had we been playing against a half-decent side we would’ve been flogged.”

Same old, same old. 🙄 

We’re not even a third of the way through the season, and the season is long. There’s gonna be ups and downs and even sideways. Nothing is decided in April. Take the win ffs. Moreover, ENJOY the win. Enjoy each and every win, even if only for 24 hours. Please and thanks. 👍🏽😃

Shane not playing last quarter. Running around the boundary warming down. Not injured. Big smile on his dial. I’m no expert but I think they’ve seen enough and he’ll be DEBUTING NEXT WEEK!!! 🥳

Dont you do his ironing for him

What is this ‘ironing’ of which you speak? 
 

 I actually do own an iron but I’m only hanging onto it because I figure it’ll be a museum piece one day. 😁

Whoa! I just noticed something I’ve never noticed before and I think it’s a sign! Wearing a huge hoodie that belongs to my son and look what’s on the sleeve!

🤯

Going full-nuffie today. Gonna go to both matches. The amount of Red Bull and coffee required would drop a horse, but I’m all across it. 🥳

Unrelated: can a person die from guarana overdose? Asking for a friend who may or may not have already had two Vs.

Also, this…

Forgotten? Forgotten by whom, exactly?

Managed to get out of a 7 pm meeting, can't wait to watch and cheer from the couch 😁  Encourage the boys for me, those of you lucky enough to go in person!

Shame you can’t be at the game, DP. We’ll cheer extra loud for you! Hope to see you at the ‘G sometime soon. ❤️💙

CARNA MIGHTY DEES!!!

Isn't that great, big load of stress of his shoulders. 

Congratulations to Ardu, Koz, and the family.

Kozzie did look happy and relieved today, as you said… a big load off his shoulders.

Incidentally,  it’s interesting that generally these days men don’t become dads at such a young age. But in the footy world it’s not out of the ordinary for players to become fathers in their early to mid 20s. I’m guessing being financially stable factors into this 🤷‍♀️ 

That’s all well n good. Now for the important stuff 😁

Ardu and Kozzie are the proud parents of a healthy baby girl, as yet unnamed. Born last Thursday. Kozzie described the feeling as “unreal” 🥹

Ollie Sestán’s nickname at the Club is Sesto. His surname is pronounced  Chestahn. He’s Croatian/Italian. His parents are (in his own words) Aussie AF.

Melksy’s little boy, Teddy, barracks for the Demons and his favourite player is… Fritta. 😅

According to Chocco, Bowsa is closer to being right to go than we think. He was practicing tackling with one of the trainers and was not holding back. He was going in hard. You wouldn’t know he’d broken his collarbone relatively recently. Chocco was watching on, very pleased.

Clarrie was in a serious frame of mind today. Not unhappy or angry, but super immersed in everything be did. His concentration and focus was unwavering and really impressive.

Back to nicknames… Knuckles McVee LOVES his nickname so it’s here to stay.

 I unwittingly changed JB14’s nickname from ‘Jubba’ to ‘Jibba’ 🤭 (long story).

And while Shane Mc said he doesn’t mind ‘Smacka’’ his demeanour said ‘You know where you can stick your Smacka’ 😁 He’s pumped to be playing tomorrow. This I know for sure because when I said, “Hey how’re ya going, Shane!” He replied, “I’m playing tomorrow!” Then he said, “Great! How are you?” 😂

No BBB no Kolt no McAdam
