Native finger limes are awesome! I was so delighted when I first discovered them.

Never tried them myself, though I do use a Native Finger Lime scented hand soap!

You don't know what you're missing Jewelsbon - but you should find out!

And here's my random question:

Was it a mistake for Angus Sheldrick to trade #29 for #12?

Just watched the r8 game in 06 against the brave bulldogs ( be warned the robbery of 16 is following it )
What a team , just great bloods on every line , didn't see McVeigh do much apart from pointing even in his early years .
Paul Williams what a pick up , both sides and hit targets and i can go on . You watch that team in action and it shits all over what we have now , MOL was quiet but we had BBBH kicking 5 with a presence , not like we have now. That team if it was now and up to todays fitness level would smash this lot.
McLaren was just as bad as Stevic he hated us

McVeigh was such a slow burn. It took him a solid 4 seasons before he started doing anything of note, I was surprised he was given so long to develop.

So was i , i suppose then Campbell might be in the same boat as locals seem to get extra time

Campbell is exactly the player who comes to mind on our current list. Not willing to give up on Campbell yet, he just needs to learn to throw himself at the ball. Felt like he did towards the end of last season, and if he can get his own ball we will be a weapon

McVeigh didn't throw himself

In breaking news the SCG a has run out of toilet paper. again. At least the game tonight and the other night won’t define them. Does anyone know if our sports psych also does work with the Sixers ?

You might say I’m in the wrong thread. But I swear it’s the swans I’m watching

He has been retired for years now. Time to put your odd beef with McVeigh to bed.

When i feel like it. It was about pointing

My sis-in-law and I picked up a couple of cuties before we've even sailed!

Don't tell the husband's!

Jewelsbon is currently in the upstairs restaurant asking the staff if the lifeboats will be seated according to class. She does hope they're not too crowded!

Ahhh. Paul Williams. I got an autographed Swans jumper from a mate who is related to Amon Buchanan (he got me a few things over the years as I was the biggest Swans fan he knew) and when I got it there was 1 signature missing. Paul Williams. Damn!
Loved watching him play and definitely the Swans from that era.

Grace Tame had a wonderful opportunity to use her platform as Australian of the Year to influence positive change.

But she’s blown it.

By wearing that “f**k Murdoch” t-shirt, she now just presents as a rude, smug lefty.

And the ironic thing is - Murdoch’s rags have actually been demanding action on child abusers - such as the pure evil of the Rotheram grooming gangs in the UK.

I’ll cop heat for this post, as I know many here will applaud any action that is seen as anti-Murdoch.

But Ms Tame had a unique opportunity. An important opportunity. Instead, she chose childish political statements and squandered it.

I tend to agree i hate Murdoch , but that wasn't the right platform , took away from a real aussie of the year.
I reckon this is for another page DQ

Nah, good on her.

I think you're a bit late to the party though, as she's been painted as a rude, smug lefty for a long time, in part for challenging powerful people, whom for some reason have ordinary Australians rushing out to defend their honour.

Yes, I have no doubt that the Murdoch press are all over the Rotheram grooming gangs. Obviously it deserves coverage, but it also plays into one of their favourite "news" themes, fearmongering about immigrants.

Wouldn't be the first Australian of the Year to get people frothing after delivering a message we should all applaud. I'm going to back in her personal analysis, as someone who has had to deal with media coverage while advocating for sexual abuse survivors and protection, as she has done.

Sorry if this comes across as "heat".

Grace Tame wearing a tshirt who cares , her prerogative , I reckon her running the bruny island run with pacer bikes and treating others runners like pieces of shit, swearing loudly in front of young kids etc when asked to stop was more annoying . She can wear and make whatever point she wants surely, supposedly free speech , can't have it both ways.

My point is that she had an opportunity to really do something constructive for society.

She’s autistic, but has media advisors galore …. and by going down the churlish route, they’ve collectively torpedoed her ability to genuinely improve things for abuse victims.

And as for free speech - I might be old fashioned, but I think there’s limits. I wouldn’t want a society where walking around in that t-shirt was deemed acceptable.

I dunno, it's just a tshirt, I don't even agree with the shirt like most probably do, but I just don't give a **** about it.


I mean i wouldn't care if someone wore a shirt saying Grace is a bitch either .

Maybe I should care more

When the heck will our 2025 apparel be available?

Why is it we are the only club without 2025 apparel available in their online shop?

One week on since my post - still no 2025 apparel available in our online shop.

We are the only club without 2025 apparel available in their online store.

The club and Nike need to sort this out.

I wouldn't want a society with Rupert Murdoch in it.

You can get the 2025 guernsey on other shop sites, so not sure what the hold up is, Nike stuff is great but seems slow.

Seems a Sydney thing though maybe, as Collingwood has 2025 Nike stuff
