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. ?

I actually thought DaisyC was being serious. I loved your post because it is a perfect blend of realism and measured optimism.

I reckon DL is what has stopped many a TV set having something thrown at it. ?

That Andrew Phillips goal... did Mclachlan say “it’s a goal. His first. He’s equalled his career high.” ???? Maybe I imagined he said that. I hope I imagined he said that.

You’re not doing drinking wine properly. ? Is more effective when you actually put it in your mouth.

Essendon’s has so many colours but they’re all red. 50 shades of red.

I did read about it during the week but the name escapes me right now. But ours is defs the best. ?

A lot of really nice indigenous jumpers this season but geez, you can’t go past ours for the pick of the crop.

Calm down ffs. This has nothing to do with continuing the culture of abuse. “Seemingly educated people” would know this. Speaking of which your last sentence reeked of aggression so yeah, pot/kettle. Please don’t use nastiness to make your point.
