NRL and AFL Preliminary Finals.
Did not expect to get both AFL tips wrong.
Or both NRL tips right.
Not expecting upsets this weekend. But if GWS could knock over Collingwood that would be appreciated.
I don’t think both Brisbane teams have been in their respective GFs in the same year.

Heard Blackbird by the Beatles on the radio yesterday, and was looking for a cover to post.
It occurred to me the original is unsurpassed.
Of course.
Poignant and pensive.
Hopeful and affirming.
We all need that.
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
From Hello Grief by Alessandra Olanow.
I was today years old when I learned: that tumbleweeds are not a plant which is native to North America; were not widely present in the USA during the late 1800’s; did not really tumble their way through the old west as you may imagine they did via cowboy movies,that came later.
And many other facts about their present status as a noxious weed.
If Joe Scott can be believed, which it appears he can.
