Right back atcha Mic 😉

 

There's hope--Sweden made us look really bad and the Kiwis scored more than they should have.

 

Go USA!

Well what a boring game both sides not wanting to lose so they just held possession in the back line with the occasional long ball hoping  a forward might get lucky. Both  through to the next stage anyway.

Buddy charged with striking and given a one week sanction - he won't be able to play against the Bombers Saturday night at the Gabba unless the Swans appeal and win.

The charge was downgraded at the hearing. Buddy free to play.

Completely agree, boring. Maybe they will meet again.

 

At the lake for our annual vacay, wifi ranges from non-existent to OK, so I can't get on as much as I want.

I missed the whole episode. Glad Buddy is back. What do you all think--did he deserve to be charged??

 

In other news, our cruise to SA/Antarctica was canceled 2 days ago. Much sadness, 2nd year in a row now.

 

Go Swans!

X has cancelled the whole season here now, so we have another cruise gone, that is all eight ( not all with X)  of the cruises we had booked pre covid and now 3 that had been rebooked using credits. I am not so hopeful  for the next 3 either.

This happened pretty fast, didn't it? Yesterday it seemed like all was still on. From what I read, I guess the teams were trying to beat some new restrictions on travel and the league was trying it's best to stay on track?

 

I sure hope all of you are OK.

 

Go Swans!

Victoria banned travel from the 8 LGA's in SE QLD coming to VIC from 8PM last night. Hence, the rush to get out of QLD.

Sort of figured it was something like this.

 

Thanks.

As soon as a state goes into lockdown, the other states, usually within hours close their borders to travellers from that state. I assume that the AFL had some idea that SE QLD would go into lockdown and quickly organised the 4 teams up there to fly to Victoria. Melbourne (Demons) had just flown into QLD that morning.
