Looks like I chose a good season to stop paying any attention to footy news and just watch the games. Blindfolds and Yellow and Black on loop sounds pretty wacky but I'll take a 36 point win any day of the week :)

Also I forget if I already told you guys but I am now a dad, my baby daughter was born last week Monday :) Funny how that kind of thing makes you care a lot less about whether Tex is angry about leaks or whatever the gently caress is apparently going on.

Also apparently like half the cricket team has resigned or been suspended or something I don't loving know, time to get back to bottle feeding and fitting in 60 minute powernaps between nappy changes!

Congrats cmndstab! That’s fantastic news

That was one of the worst games of footy I've ever seen the Saints play. The skills were non-existent, the contested ball was loving weak as piss (lost the count by 31!), and we were completely unorganized all over the ground. loving pathetic and if we keep playing like this we'll be hard pressed to win more than 5 games for the season.

At the very least I have a much shorter distance this year if I want to burn the club down.

I think that literally was the worst match Ive seen, at least live. Ive seen us get smashed before in the spoon years, even against Essendon last year but at those where when we were garbage or against at least a reasonable team.

What we showed yesterday was a complete breakdown of mental fortitude. Just about all those players have shown before how good they can play and about four of them brought it with them. I really have no loving idea.

Congratulations mate! I hope mum and bub are doing well.

Yeah, the cricket side is going through huge changes (finally). This interview with Tim Paine is fairly interesting in regards to how he is handling the Australian captaincy:

Thanks all :unsmith: We're doing alright, she's a little bit unsettled at times but by and large doing well. I've been able to get a few weeks off (a "well-timed" calf injury gave me an extra week at home!) which has helped.

I've already managed to avoid Australian politics by becoming obsessed with US politics instead. All the insanity and hilarity (arguably more) with the added bonus that it only indirectly affects me!
