    I'd be asking for a refund if I was duped by these charletains.

It's 7.59.59, the umpires' backs are all turned, Bont has his left fist cocked, within an arm's length of Greene, a terrified look on his face.

      Footy, loyalty to the club. Tradition, celebration of the commonwealth ?
      Easy one for me. I?m a republican at heart. I think Charles seems like nice bloke and like his passion for environmental matters though. If King Charles followed a AFL team it would have to be one with royal colours and a British bulldog. Surely a good omen for the outcome.

        My wife is having a coronation party.

        Yes she's English.

        My house is covered with bunting.

        I'm no royalist, I'm a huge history buff however so on that front im insanely interested.

        Will they show the anointing! I hope not personally.

        We will have a footy room and a coronation room, my nephew and I will be not moving from the former often.

        So footy wins over history xD

          I don't have a dog in the fight, I suppose I'm nominally a republican and I have no understanding of how an anachronistic archaism still holds such sway, but there's no denying watching the royal family is like staring at "The Kramer".

          Nick Cave had a great response when someone asked him why he's going to the coronation. It's well worth the read.

          Anyway, Dogs by 13. Bont BOG, first goal Arty Jones.

              I think I'd rather drink bleach than watch anything royal related unless it's a revolutionary uprising to depose them

                Been done a few times

                The Romanovs and their kids met a pretty yuk ending at the hands of the Bolsheviks.

                I don't understand the place of the Monarchy these days especially here.

                In England, I've seen how it can lift spirits and unite people in difficult times which is a positive.

                Historically I'm fascinated. Westminster Abbey is one of my favourite places for that reason think I've been in there 5 times. Some of the tombs wow.

                Durham is my all time favourite church/abbey/cathedral.

                Anyway don't drink bleach unless of course you have the spicey cough.

                  Yeah that was mostly pretty awesome. Mostly part being the kids wouldn't have done anything too bad (yet).

                    The Celtic crowd let everyone know what they thought of the Coronation. Bit of a laugh.

                      Didn't dumpy Trump say getting injected with bleach would cure covid? Moron.

                        Then the reds weren't much better see the Katyn Forest massacre.

                        Humans are the problem.

                        Have we heard if Toby Greene is pulling the plug yet?

                          At the risk of interrupting the royals discussion,

                          Meanwhile back at the footy:

                          Dogs by five points

                          First Goal: Cody

                          Best on ground: Adz
                          The truth will set you free,
