‘It’s absurd’: Tennis match goes viral as players come under attack from birds

The match was halted numerous times with one star even forced to take matters into her own hands.

What makes you think Centrelink would supply a luxury item like black garbage bags? Youd be lucky to get the yellow unscented ones.

That's allright. I don't like the scented ones. They just smell like chemicals.

I think its split. Most ppl I know think we are all doing the right thing, noone wants it to let fly like in the US or UK. There are some extremely vocal loud people who feel like their rights are getting stomped on though.
Im more worried about everyone having enough food and money.

At least half the people don't mind too much. So I dunno.
Just know I'm not gonna work this week, and I'm moving house and have got to pay the bond and all that.
When my missus gets home, might check out if Centrelink will give me something.

Thought it would be fine TBH. My missus has an allright job so could be way worse.
Not sure if there's a good time anymore. Haven't hit winter yet.
So you've just gotta do it.

We were living in Sydney and decided to move back to Melbourne in Dec 19. What a fan-f**king-tastic idea that was

Wheelchair tennis who is a fan it's weird to watch

Haha, I hope it wasn’t for the culture

Shit. That would be hard

Was watching it yesterday for the first time. Its pretty interesting.
My wifes favourite part was Alcott screaming 'GREAT SERVE DYL!!!' when he hit a good one. I think he was missing the crowds

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

Mostly for footy and family. We were away for 18 months, and in that time, my wifes long suffering footy team won a premiership.... without her.....
I started packing silently and immediately.
We had moved for my work...

Anyone else feel old because they watched this when it happened

That was the best!!

Was disappointing to see his personality in Survivor, but crucial aussie sport history there.

Bradbury yeah? That seriously doesn't feel like that long ago

No as there are things i remember that are much older than that lol

I used to live up there. Actually missed out on 3 premierships.
Personally I think its way better here.
Not counting current times Melbourne has been my favourite place I've lived

I was thinking that, but maybe they dont want to be the face of infected travellers. Seemed to get on the bus okay?

That's been speculated a bit by everyone that isn't a journalist - I get it's not a good look, but if folk wanted their privacy, not to be photographed or videoed then this may have been seen as the easiest option

And it's just been addressed during the press conference:
- PPE requirements are a mask & face shield which has been provided
- the bags aren't PPE and instead it was a choice to wear as they wanted to protect their privacy
- they had also tried to use shields, maneuver sky buses into position to block view, and some of those individuals being moved opted to use the bags
- and a request that the media to back off and give these people their privacy

I didnt mind Sydney, its beautiful, the weather is great. House prices are beyond the pale though.
Melbournes great because all of my friends are here. Ive been here maybe 15 years now.

The problem with missing the premiership was, my wife was the half back for 8 years at that club and lost three grand finals. She cried like Deledio Im tellin ya
