By “upbeat” do you mean “delusional?” ?

But it’s so much better than another extension. Glass is always half full. ?

True. The remote schooling is probs causing untold damage to kids, psychologically and physically and socially etc. The results of which may not be apparent ‘til further down the track. But today’s announcement is a step in the right direction, albeit a small step.

Great to hear you’re getting there, and yeah, naturally it will take some time. So long as you know there are people who care about you. ?

We’re coming out of lockdown tomorrow night. Substantial easing of restrictions. One step closer to having games played in Melb again. Isn’t anyone even a little excited?!

Jimmy Stynes ?

I was just thinking that very same thing! What an awesome time to be a Dees diehard: 11 -1 on top of the ladder and both Collingwood and Carlton in all sorts. All’s we need now is for Essendon to suffer another drugs saga-esque type disaster and the dream would be complete.

Hiding behind a cloudie? Waiting for the sunnie to go down?

I was thinking about @DemonOX wondering how he’s going since his mum passed away last Friday. Haven’t seen any posts from him this week.

Personally, I don’t like the whole “Let’s do it for (insert name)” as it puts undue extra pressure on the players. When Jimmy Stynes passed away all you’d hear is Let’s do it for Stynesie! The next game we played, we lost. I can’t imagine how much worse this made the players feel. ?

Let’s give him a great send-off! ❤️?

Ima make me a cuppa tea, sit down in front of the heater and watch this. That’s what lockdown’s for, right?! ❤️?

God I hate Essendon so much. Thoroughly enjoyed watching that, though. Thank you for posting it, Dr. G!

Agree 100%

LOL talk about a tonne of answers to choose from. And even after all those answers, you had the option to “describe yourself” if none of the answers were applicable.

Also done. ?

Nooooo! Please don’t besmirch my username! ?

This has obvs touched a nerve with a few posters, for differing reasons. I guess that’s one of the foibles of being human. But it’s also one of the benefits. It shows we are nothing if not passionate. ?

I guess I’d best just sit down then.

I wouldn’t advise that. I read the post to which you refer and it only reinforces what’s happening here. rpfc said he’s the one who tells newbies to sit down. I love rpfc’s posts (didn’t know he was a mod until now) but I’ve left other fan forums (for bands etc.) because of the way mods or long-termers regard “newbies” with a lack of respect. Call me old-fashioned but telling a man to sit down, in the implied context, is emasculating. Anyways, that’s my two bob’s worth.

She said she had the jab in case she travels to Tokyo for the Olympics. What sort of message is she sending out?! Everyone should get vaccinated for the greater good, not coz you might wanna go overseas!

Thank you so much for this post, as well as your post before this one on the same subject, that being Jake Melksham’s role in the team. I can’t stand how maligned Jake is. And by his own team’s supporters, no less! Thank you for explaining about his role. I don’t have a “footy brain” so I’m forever learning. But what I lack in technical knowledge I more than make up for in passion. This is probably the best post I’ve seen about Jake in terms of what his role is.

You clearly don’t live in/near Collingwood/Abbotsford ?

Love this analogy!

Must be some sort of mathematical term. ?
