  1. It’s not a tear that needs to heal. The tear actually ā€˜releases’ the painful area of the plantar fascia (big sheet of connective tissue on the sole of the foot) and given it settles over a few days, away you go. As has been mentioned, it’s a good thing.
  2. Underselling him I reckon, CBF. Next to May, he was clearly our best defender. Just made himself a certainty for next week, and if he stays fit, likely the season.
  3. This is where it really became a sh*tshow! In essence he’s saying that Tom Morris barracking for MFC means he’s conspiring to damage the Bulldogs. This is frankly first order ā€˜sore loser’ stuff, and a shameful embarrassment to the club and his team. If Bevo’s not well, and it’s perilously close to appearing that way, then he genuinely needs help. Otherwise this is a disgraceful performance from someone whose job requires much higher standards. I abhore gutter journalism. Tom Morris was just doing his job.
  4. That’s the plan.
  5. Latest…..just uniforms and ā€œEaster Eggsā€ to come. Unlike the Dees, not going to be ready for around 1, but not far away.
  6. Next to Richard Hadlee, my favourite bowler to watch, ever. Riveting. For all the tabloid waffle, seemed to live like he really loved life, and had a reputation for being the most generous competitor on the playing field. RIP…
  7. The sad truth, binman, is that ā€˜personal experience’, which is the very definition of ā€˜anecdote’, will always defeat science in the minds of some, albeit as you say, a gratefully lower number in Australia than US. Science is theory and observation made specific, analytical, reproducible practice. For those unfamiliar with its methods, that’s an unknown, elusive thing, thus mysterious, untrustworthy. ā€œWhat they’re telling me can’t be true, because my mates and their mates and family have had ā€˜these’ experiencesā€ will always defy the rigour and analysis than some don’t/can’t/don’t want to try to understand. I take heart in the fact that Australia, objectively more than any other country (Vax rates) rejects this approach.
  8. Artistic licence definitely allows me to glorify somewhat. šŸ˜‰. Interestingly, BBB has exceptional muscle definition, perhaps more than any player at the club. Not biggest, but most delineated. Naturally low subdermal fat. He’s a physio student’s ā€˜surface anatomy’ dream, basically. You’ll also note, no disrespect to Clarry’s attributes, that I’ve made him a better looking rooster than nature has otherwise determined. Still him, but dare I say more handsome.
  9. Asymptomatic Covid population (much more likely in the Vaccinated) are less likely to transmit the virus. Herewith Lancet journal article detailing such… https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/article/PIIS2666-7762(21)00059-4/fulltext The ā€˜vaccinated’ are thus less likely to spread the virus. Science.
  10. Yep. First time I ever went, on a visit home from the UK, I was flabbergasted that you couldn’t see all of the ground in a stadium supposedly dedicated to Australian Footy. Wouldn’t that be the absolute first priority? Did some architect just say ā€œthat’s alright, they can always just watch the big screenā€.? It’s a heartless, claustrophobic wind-tunnel with rubbish turf.
  11. Looking good for getting them finished by then dpositive.
  12. Latest…..heads, arms, and some unfamiliar item in the top left corner
  13. The pathological hatred MM has for the Dees verges on laughable. I suspect if you asked him, he’d have some explanation for how we stole the Premiership last year, didn’t really deserve it, won’t be much chop this year….blah blah blah. To say he lacks credible objectivity is voicing the bleeding obvious.
  14. My testament to Tayla….
  15. 18 contested marks in the competition this year. Next best = 9. She’s a star, and proof (as if it was needed) that a happy footballer is a better footballer.
  16. And yet…..still just ice.
  17. Partly cos the sponsorship/advertising is horribly distracting, which makes me so happy to remove it, otherwise cos navy is navy is navy.
  18. Here come Clarry and Tracc…
  19. Bad luck for Max King, but that’s footy, sadly (just ask the women, with ACL ruptures more this year than any before). As a likely 40-50 goal forward, the Suns couldn’t afford to lose him, and this will force the end of Stuart Dew’s tenure. As a cheeky tie-in to this week’s ā€œBIG NEWS STORYā€ (according to the Herald-Sun), this is why coaches get so stressed/anxious/angry about injury situations and are thus inclined to take it out on medical staff. Their jobs/careers simply depend on players being fit.
  20. Beautiful framing sydneydee. (like the willing Dees supplicant too)
  21. Progress ……
  22. Great design. Imagine how good it would be without all the logos/advertising…
  23. They are. By preferred viewing, the bottom one will sit on the right side of Max and Jack, the top on the left. They are 30% smaller than the Max and Jack, which is the centrepiece.
  24. Love those colours….
  25. I keep coming across twenty-somethings who’ve tested positive then had either ā€˜no symptoms’ or a couple of days cough. When I ask those if it was like the flu, they reply it was more like ā€˜a cold’. Different for different age-groups of course, but there’s undoubtedly a high number of those who’ve had the virus but haven’t been recorded as such. We are rapidly heading for endemic stage. Boosters will evolve to strain specificity, such as Pfizer’s ā€˜Omicron booster’ currently in the works. Treatments for the ā€˜illness’ will also evolve and improve. Putting aside the inexplicable attitude toward vaccines by some (a fractional percentage in Australia, thankfully), and the developed world’s greed-fuelled neglect of vulnerable countries, the global response to this pandemic is remarkable. Far from what it could be obviously, but compared to its obvious precedent, the Spanish Flu, remarkable nonetheless. All we need do now is redirect our vocational values system toward health and community (hospital staff on garbage wages are currently being slaughtered), and away from its frank obsession with ā€˜wealth accumulation’, and the future’s looking bright.
