Postpone the Finals out of respect to our Queen

[AN_Inkling]

AFLW have abandoned plans for a minute's silence during their upcoming round.

[Take_a_Screamer]

Only if the royal family gives every pies fan $50k each

C'mon $50K? that's too much, would create a strain
I would, however accept $49K + one of the Corgis

[Hiss]

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.

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?

Albo has announced a national public holiday for Thursday the 22nd of September for a national day of mourning. Then there's the GF public holiday in Victoria on Friday the 23rd of September.

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.

Maybe woody Allen then, or the rapist director who won’t go back to the US.

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.



Play ball!

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

Atleastyou admit that’s what those two guys are

Asfor Andrew, Meh,why did she think she was being invited to a private island all expenses paid? Not like she has any other talent, she’s not JL or an interior decorator

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
