AFLW have abandoned plans for a minute's silence during their upcoming round.
Well done boys!

I call on Magpies fans to calm down and not use the passing of Her Majesty’s passing as a opportunity to enter a slanging match .

As for the lack of respect by the AFLW not observing a minute’s silence, I am not surprised. They need to take a leaf out of our Queen’s sacrifice, putting decency and others before self. I hope that dreadful competition perishes where it belongs . Oh I forgot , our scum politicians ensure our taxes are used to fund the AFLW and pay billionaire media corporates to broadcast it. It is banned in our household for good reasons.
I love this club and I hold anyone in contempt who does not think it is worth fighting for.

No need to be bitter just because Bertha didn’t get drafted! If she keeps up her work on the track she’s bound to get a look-in as a mature-age rookie…

Wow. Can we close this thread?
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

I would rather permanently postpone the royal family.

^ No-one is forbidden. It just shouldn’t be compulsory.

None of those sound any less worthy of honour to me.

Lack of respect here, certainly,

I do get where the WOMANS league is coming from, wrong weekend.

Yes close the thread, this is why we can’t have nice things.....or humour.

And insults dressed as humour are not funny, still just insults.


After 3 years of shit we are finally back up the top, after a truly amazing ride,
Why waste energy on what was probably always a piss take.

Much as I slag off the AFL, last nights tribute was perfection, dignified, short and to the point. No room for useless debate, especially by people who seem to just bait for the fun of it, but dressing it in their supposed superiority!

Go Pies.

RIP Mam.

And from my English born soul, God save the King.

Not sure it's a good idea to bring up sex offenders in the context of the royal family...

More worthy for most, though I'd have most gangsters at less. Lewis wasn't known for his logic.

QEII may have the biggest gap between renown and significance of anyone, particularly in the 21st C. Biggest achievement? Never giving an opinion :?
Well done boys!
