Couple players standing out in the terrible conditions.

Mimi Hill doesn't realise its wet. One touch most of the time.
Ronny Fitspatrick will just about win our best and fairest....has a couple goals and has a top speed that makes other look like they are standing still.......fair tank too
Sherar doesn't have a whole lot of weight to throw around, but seems to love the conditions and always looking for contact.

5 minutes to go 15 points up. Looking beyond the hawks to kick 3 goals in 5 minutes, given they've taken almost 90 minutes to kick their first 3.

But why?

Why step in to save her from a certain death sentence and take her to hospital?

To me it reads like an intervention but meh, I care not.

Something i was listening to a month ago about this stuff sprang to mind with the above comment.

A prisoner on death row tried to kill himself.....i think a week (?) before his execution date by slitting his throat.
He was rushed to hospital, underwent surgery and survived. Only to be executed a week later.

The law is the law.
Doctors take an oath.

In the scheme of things, it doesn't always make sense.....but it is predictable.

For those not in Melbourne currently, looking at the rain on the cameras does not do it justice.
A months worth of rain expected in 24 hours currently.

Proud of our girls to be as clean as they have been.

Easy game to lose this one.

Have you guys read that article?  It suggests the legal Eagles intervened to stop it so im neither here nor there on it.

Have you?

Death row inmate Christa Pike has been taken to hospital after she was still alive following two lethal injections.

Christa’s heart was still beating and she was heard snoring despite being given doses of pentobarbital during her execution.

HTF do they get this so wrong.

They are forever and a day trying to find the most humane way to execute people so nobody suffers for 1 second during the process....and its lead to this.

Go back to the french way of doing things and this won't be an issue.

I hate Thursday night footy.
There is wisdom in those words.

As I grow older, I hate anything not Saturday or Sunday, the weekend is greatly diminished and there is less to look forward to.

No wonder the USA society is full of bitterness and hate, each day blends into another, nothing is reserved or special!

Brick back KB and co, 'Grumpy old men' are back!

For me, footy takes priority on the weekend. I try and fit my social life (as limited as it may be) and kids sports around who is playing and when.
So to get something like that 'out of the way' before the weekend is a blessing for me. It frees up time that i can do something else instead.
Since footy season finished (and kids soccer) i've managed to play golf twice and go to the driving range twice. Previously, it'd be 3 years combined before i could reach that same total.

The AFLW is a quicker version of footy and is able to fit in better.....also less likely chance of spoilers if i can't watch it live.

So i've got no problem with Thursday night footy (unless i wanna go to it) and Sunday/Monday night footy etc.
I'd prefer our away games to always be on at that time.

It's a good thing the wallopers didn't patrol our street in the 1950s and 1960s when we spent hours kicking newspaper footies and those abominable plastic jobs.  The bitumen wore the ends of Sherrins and Ross Faulkners in no time.
Modern kids miss out on all the fun of toeing the casting lug on the end of those brown plastic footies!

The rubber ones that superceded them were not much better.

I didn't see a lot of the game but I thought that we weren't too far off the pace.  I think that we would have to be in with a decent chance when we next play Melbourne ... or North.

Hawks beat North, and i thought we were lucky to beat the hawks, they dominated us last time.
Along with the Dees, they are all top 4 for mine.

We might be the 4th overall, which from where we came from 2 years ago, is huge.
Crows and Lions the other 2 we'd be fighting with for top 4 spot IMO.

Yep. Tough conditions at Casey. DIdn't handle them half as well as the home side.

Wonder if the result would've been different if it was at Ikon.


Also worth noting that after our tough game with the kangas last week, they failed to get up last night. They lost to the hawks.
First loss in something like 32 games!

Dees and kangas play eachother next week. Huge game of 1 vs 2 that will determine who stays on top.
