@RMGLUCK2017 @TheNewEuropean You’re settled in, now go for the tonne, Richie. Happy birthday, handsome clever funny man.

These blokes worked hard but had fun, which is how footy starts for everyone, and now is again for fans. Together they uncorked joy, honouring our goofy attachment to a club - and to each other - and I’ll forever be grateful for that.

Go Dees!

Hitched my feelings to a footy team’s fortunes 20 years ago. It was about friendship, forged at the G over three seasons with a mate, himself already 20 years in. #GoDees.

I’ve devoured the replays, watched every interview, read every story - and had a few cries. I’m just so happy. And not because it all now feels worth it - it always was.

FT.

THE DEES ARE GOING TO THE GRAND FINAL. 🤯

@Tashtania @MonashUni Good luck, Tash. Sorry to see you go. You’re a good operator.

[Melbourne Demons @melbournefc]

SKIPPER. 😤

A goal after the siren to get the win. 🤩

@emilyolson951 @abcnews Inspiring. Being true to yourself requires the courage to reset. If you meet the next opportunity with the qualities you’ve shown, success, adventure and purpose beckons. But you’ll be missed, Em. Best of luck.

To all the kerbside treasure hunters who upended bags of trash on my verge during this year’s annual hard rubbish festival, seeking my hidden gold - it was in the homemade clay teapot! Hahahaha! Better luck next time, suckers!

There’s a moment in SLUSHY (on Audible) by @katemccccartney n @katemclennan1 that a woman cries with joy taking a dump in a bag on a glacier while her mates sing Amazing Grace, that you know you’re listening to something truly special. This series cracked me up. More please.

[Andrew Webster @web_stirs]

So impressed by the US commentary provided by ABC colleagues @peterlmarsh and @emilyolson951 during the past year, culminating in today’s inauguration coverage. When the call came, they answered with insight, wit, energy, and endless goodwill. Kudos.

A bizarre week in US politics was made bittersweet by listening to @csittenfeld’s Rodham, a sliding doors take on Hillary, Bill, Donald and Co. Soft core for civics nerds, it’s insanely timely, fun and utterly fascinating. Highly recommend.

I saw an orange man
On a green horse
Driving a red army
Lose a white house
And a blue tick.

Now he’s a brown stain.

The curators have done a maaaarvelous job of preparing the deck for this year’s Boxing Day Test. Plenty of life in that pitch. Promises to be a cracker.

@realDonaldTrump Whoa whoa whoa wait what? There was an election? And you lost? But you really really wanted to win? Gosh son, that sounds awful. Have a suck on this lolly while the adults gather over here and pretend to give a fuck.

@samanthamaiden @ScottMorrisonMP ‘Yeah, gday mate, look, my dog got loose in your yard and might have savaged a couple of your kids, but I’m aware of it, okay? He’s a good dog so I’m not sure what set him off. Cheerio.’

It was our job as small boys to catch lambs and pass them over the fence for docking and mulesing. We did it with tears in our eyes, feeling like traitors. https://t.co/f0xfiRGBOG
