10 days

Thank-you Georgio, my Aussie-Greek friend. We Europeans easily lose count, you know . I have the game day alerts set up on my phone via the official app, but it's too early for those yet!

All good. Don't look too far ahead though - first things first - win tomorrow

Absolutely, though I'm just waiting for the proper games to start and don't want to miss anything . Middle of the night starts etc

How good were the Aussie girls in the cricket tonight.

How good were the Aussie girls in the cricket tonight.

Clinical display. Was a little worried going in since they were variable and scraping through, but as soon as Healy and Mooney found their groove it was a golden experience and almost everything came off which was brilliant to watch.

Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years, the beast. Hopefully, he dies in prison.

Random question in the random discussion thread for gym goers / trainers / anyone who knows.

My wife having relatively recently given birth (a few months ago) is looking to get back into training after an obviously quite inactive year and wants to lift weights. I’ve been on at her to do this for a few years as she is naturally strong and I think would enjoy it, but she’s previously done cardio or F45. I reckon building her strength and lifting weights will see her get to a place where she feels good more quickly.

We have a bench at home and adjustable dumbbells from 5kg to 40kg.

Could she just follow a similar workout to what I am doing? 3 days split (generally sets of or something like that? Chest and biceps one day, back and triceps another day, shoulders and legs another day or even split these last 2 out?

I guess the question I am asking is, can women and men follow a similar workout style with weights with similar success? Or should we look for a different kind of workout for her?

All depends on your goals mate. If muscle gains are the goal than less cardio is good so something like a 3 or 4 day split would be ideal. As always though how much food you eat will determine whether you put on or lose weight.

I desperately need a haircut. It's getting serious now; a couple more weeks and I will be on the verge of a mullet. How has it come to this?

Will anyone see you?
If not...
Keep growing it or shave it off.

You're right, probably not, but you need a bit of pride, even in these times. Can't shave it off, as it's far too thick, and now too long. Might need to let the mullet resplendently flow until the barbers re-open

Just wondering - have any of you guys met up on game day or socialised afterwards etc, or do you only know each other via the forum? When the footy re-starts, you should all have a night out after a game then let us non-attendees know of the carnage that ensued. When I win the lottery, I will come join you all on matchday and the VBs are on me

You win the lottery and shout VB's , you tight ass

Fair point. However, once you Aussies learn there are free drinks to be had, the entire St Kilda membership would likely turn up, claiming to be BF regulars.

Just watching the 97 GF , god we had some average players in that side

Yes we've met up matchday. Marvel has the Garden Gate bar which gets used as the meetup point. I don't think theres been any meetup outside of the football though.
I've met up with Mowman and Barrels at a couple of games.
