I suspect that she doesn't realise that she is making a goose of herself. In fact, I'm sure that she is convinced that her performance today will have won her new supporters.
As a committed republican, it concerns me that her strident, undignified and ineffective protest will damage our cause. It's a worry when our elected representatives don't seem to have the brains they were born with.
That's kind of my take too. It's damaging the cause of republicans...and she's targeting the wrong bloke. Now the monarchy and the republic are obvioulsy intertwined. But Charles has said that the decision on a republic rests solely with the Australian people. And that's how it should be. I suspect he wouldn't be to worried to give us the flick, but still retain visitation rights.
A % of 47.3% should tell you all you need to know about how competitive we are this year.....especially remembering we kept Geelong Goaless in our game!
I'm surprised to see Lily Goss up, as she was helped from the ground last week. I'm surprised to see Celine Moody come in, as she hasn't been doing much.
Not only that, she was taken away in the back of the ambulance!
As crazy as it might sound (but crazy is the normal in this race ) the result of the election may be determined by how the Biden/Harris administration is "perceived" to respond to the Hurricane about to hit Florida. It won't be about the actual response, but how it is spun by various sides, the disinformation, and how the voters digest that information.
The problem for the Democrats is that when you're up against a Hurricane the results are never going to be good.
Take a leaf out of Trumps book and just say something inane like Hurricanes are bad and they will go 'punch it in the face' or something equally childish. Seems to work for Trump.
I think the whole club could benefit if the off-season is as much about improving skills as it is about building tanks.
Both the mens' and womens' teams have a significant disposal deficiency compared to the top-flight teams in the respective competitions.
You don't have to run around as much if your handballs and kicks hit the spot......
It might not look it, but the AFLW competition as a whole has improved its skills. When you add the fact that there the amount of girls in the AFLW system is over double what it was when it came in, it shows that the talent base is spread far and wide.
Unfortunately, there is still a fair way to go. Vescio was a 'freak' early on with what they could do. Now....Darcy is doing something akin to Fantasia. Shows glimpses of past talent, but largely irrelevent. Part of that is age, but a large part of it is everyone else is getting better.
Gender aside, you can tell a 'footballer' from how they move and how they kick. No disrespect, but early on there was a bunch of girls playing footy. Now, there are a bunch of female footballers. Its a subtle difference.
Bob Murphy is on the wireless this morning and he just mentioned “running on top of the ground”.
He said that he doesn’t understand its etymology or meaning but, watching yesterday’s GF, the thought came to him that the Brisbane players were “running on top of the ground”!
Similar in swimming. "Swimming on top of the water."
I'm not sure of where its come from either, but it could be relatively simple.
Back in my cross country days, we used to run through all conditions. One day there was quite a bit of run and we were running through some pretty chopped up and muddy areas. Those who were 'running on top of the ground' seemed to not sink in and get bogged down in the mud. Those who were struggling where very much sinking in the mud and looked like they were in slow motion compared to the others.
Might be a throwback to similar muddy times back before grounds had better drainage and were mud pits.
