Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2024 Rd 10: Carlton vs Essendon
Was away for the long weekend and just got around to watching this.

Disappointing end, but unsurprising one. Especially with all our a-graders out.

Not sure what happened to Bree Moody, but she had 1 disposal for the game? I'm sure i missed something, but i didn't see an injury but 86% TOG and 1 kick??

Dal Pos went out in style, almost getting a goal at the end of the game.

Need to make some big changes this off-season.
Some of our best players (non-mids) will be retiring in the next year or 2 and there isn't a whole lot coming behind them. Our best younger players are mids.

Hopefully we can get some talent in and quicksmart.

Notice Board (Visitors Enter Here) / Re: Multiple Quoting
It's OK.  I don't see any real issue, it just feels different.

I think it's a personal preference in some respects.
I also don't mind it, except when it stretches out to a half a dozen quotes within a quote.

Often you'll see a post quoted without the context of what they were responding to and you think WTF is that all about.

Yep.

This is actually how the site used to be (minus the extra randome box/character).
It got changed to the one quote because of the above.....excessive quotes.

It does has some benefit though as i know there have been 'discussions' i have had with people who have clearly missed something that was previously mentioned which wouldn't have happened with multiple quotes like now.

As long as people don't go overboard, i reckon we are better off with it.

1st time in 38 years Blues vs Pies have been played at Vic Park.

Like 38 years ago, Blues come away with a win. Cementing the pies to the bottom of the ladder.

Was a good match to watch, which isn't normally true.

Our 4th win of the year.

Dayne Finns best game.
Halfpenny's first in navy blue offered some hardness.
Keeleys x2 continuing their development and are rivalling McKay/Hill combo if not surpassing it.

Onto next week.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: General Discussions
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.

What is the benefit of keeping the status quo?

What is the drawbacks of 'leaving the nest'?

I can't see a whole lot changing

Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2024 Rd 7: Carlton vs Fremantle at Freo
We've lost a couple late so it's good to win one late.

Even though we got most of our scoring from 5 minutes jn the first quarter, our pressure kept us within striking distance.

I don't think we are a hope in he'll of making finals, but we do have an easier draw home
