Now is the time.

Nice run out to another quiet country town today.
Gifted a break in the rain at lunchtime.

I think in the end, the Western Bulldogs missing finals despite a 14-9 record was the death knell for the final eight as we know it. It gave the league a window to counteract the mediocre teams in 9th and 10th playing in September argument that often was cited.

I cannot emphasise how much I want to attend a Canadian Premier League final like this one.

Forza!

Journalism Challenge:
They love going after politicians and public officials to put them out of a job.
How about going after these hateful people and ending some careers while benefitting Australia.

Yeah, would take that to complete the set.
Alan Jones would also be acceptable.

Richo and Laws, two terrible Sydney people, on the one weekend...

You know, these things tend to happen in threes.

Looking at you, John Winston...

The precursor and mold for later rightwing radio talking heads.

Poisoned Australia, made it a worse country. Very much part of why the rest of Aus has no time nor care for Syd.

You could count on the fingers of one hand the number of people* who really wanted this in footy.

*excluding

anyone who is, or is related to an AFL House or club employee,

anyone who is, or is related to an AFL club 'official partner',

or anyone involved in an AFL 'broadcast partner' role.

The current AFL “administration” is unmatched in its lazer-like focus on bread and circuses, while putting the real issues affecting the code in the too hard basket
Oh FFS. Let's have 10 of 18 teams play finals. Well done guys, sensational way to reward mediocrity. But at least broadcasters can hyperventilate over some more "finals".🙄

Yep.
Horsie-set all now sobering up until Thurs. lunch time when the Wine Bar opens up.
Horsies all back to stables, sleeping, or 'off for further processing'.

So, is that the cringe racing carnival over with now?
