Anything I put in print I would say out loud. Period. I just wonder, where do we draw the line? Last week some DLers were saying Sarah Perkins needs to drop 20 kilos and the Crows AFLW side must have a huge food bill etc. I personally didn’t take offence but that may well have offended someone who’s obese. I’m just saying you ought not cherry-pick what you deem as having the potential to offend while other posts which could also potentially offend are let through to the keeper.

So many posts can be construed as potentially offensive to someone. Why single out this one? Sheesh, lighten tf up. Please.

At this stage it looks like it’ll be 100% capacity. That’s provided there’s no drastic change in circumstances re omicron. Fingers crossed!

I also love the royal blue. Especially when it comes to stuff like caps and beanies etc. This is mainly because I’m sick of how often some random will say, ‘Go bombers’ or similar because they think they’re seeing red and black. Any other team and it might be tolerable. But Essendon? 🤮🤮🤮 Also, I reckon Ed will be the reason there’ll be more people wanting the clash strip long-sleeved.

Looks as though he’s wearing his older brother’s hand-me-down. 😆 #He’llGrowIntoItOneDay

So, what can Mrs. Dw expect for Valentines Day?

Methinks Mr. D. Cutter was commenting in jest. 🇷🇺 + 💉 = 🚫

Spanish???

On the subject of the Olympics, Lydia Lassila, who was until last night our most recent Winter Olympics Gold medallist, said she was thrilled to see the drought broken. A 12-year drought. It’s like, Lydia…

I read somewhere he might possibly be getting a gig in some capacity with CA. Whatever he decides to do, we all wish him well, of course. 💚💛

Yeah, you make a great point in that most of us fans tend to forget results from matches abroad. It’s easily done. As for last year’s series, same thing applies (selective memory, perhaps) eg. the thing at the forefront of my memory is that we bowled them out for 36 in their second innings in Adelaide.

If she’s as talented a footballer as she is a Monopoly player, she’ll go far with the Dees. IIRC, she’s taken her grandad to the cleaners on more than one occasion. 😁

Well explained! Thank you for the different view. I guess I knee-jerked when I heard they’d offered him (an insulting) six months extension. I’m also still smarting over the whole Tim Paine situation. I know he was maligned by many, but I was a huge fan. Considering the circumstances under which he was (without warning) given the captaincy, I think he performed very well in that capacity. I mean, in the blink of an eye the top three (coach, captain and v/captain) effectively fall off the face of the Earth and Tim was thrown in the deep end. Even before the cheating I actually never liked Steve Smith, either. Maybe it’s because I was a big fan of Pup and it makes sense to not warm to his replacement, especially when he’s been replaced by a player I don’t like. And Warner… I can’t stand him. Never liked him, and especially dislike him more since the embarrassing scandal they put Aus through. Whoa, what a rant! I feel much better now having expressed that, though. 😁

I love that yesterday was the first time an Aussie and a Kiwi stood on the podium together at a Winter Olympics. Southern Hemisphere. Represent. ✌️

She nailed it all the way through to the final and then kicked it up a gear to take Gold. And so calm and levelheaded! 💚💛 Incidentally Macca, did you know this is the first time Aus has medalled (any colour) twice in one day in our Winter Olympics history? Pretty hyped, as Tess Coady might say. 😁

Sure is. I think a clash of personalities may have figured in the outcome. Pat Cummins (for one) was not prepared to publicly back him. I can’t help but compare it to how our last coach went out (I was never a fan of Lehmann anyways) and thinking it’s a crying shame.

Yay! Tess gets bronze! That was bloody nail-biting but so worth it. And Zoi the kiwi got gold over the American girl. All in all, terrific results. 💚💛 We can even forgive Tess for being a diehard Tigers fan. 😉

Hey OD, is this the same granddaughter with whom you play Monopoly nowadays? Seems she’s been the apple of your eye since day dot. 💖

Bummer about Matt not making it. 😕 But we have two other guys who did. So it’s not all bad.

Yes, I watched Tess today. Was a little nervy hoping she didn’t get bumped out the top 12. But so happy for her!

Shame on you, Cricket Australia! 😠 Watch JL get snapped up by the poms, then watch out!

Jakara Anthony smashed it in the qualifiers today. Looking forward to seeing her in the final tomorrow. 💚💛

When time permits I watch from the start. Watching the Dogs’ goals and seeing them take the lead makes the turning of the tide in the third SO much sweeter. ❤️💙

Shouldn’t that be Tracc-ing ? 🙃

…and a pint of his blood and a promise from him that he surrenders his firstborn?
