yeah, I would say that back, never ever, say anything about a woman in some kind of trimester if you value your life.

P.s what’s a trimester?
I'm sure you know really, but just in case...pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, each of three months, so she would be 3-6 months pregnant.

Trimester literally means three months jus as semester means six months. There are a few British Universities that insist they can have three semesters in a year which says a lot about the quality of Classical education in this country.

Poor footballers getting flown on holiday to Australia for a week. Not sure why such a big deal is made out of it.

Poor lads. Holiday in Australia to do 45 mins against weak opposition with nothing at stake other than building our brand and getting adulation.

Most would pay a lot for the privilege, rather than getting paid shit loads for it.

Disappointed not to see Mikey Moore selected. Hopefully we get to see Hall, Devine and Donley play together at some point.

Or - 42 hours stuck on a plane to play a silly exhibition match

I'm not sure this is the holiday they were looking for.

Great experience for the younger players getting to go - but this won't be fun for most of the players.

Truly confounding....
Wringing the players and staff out of all the energy they can for a mid week friendly on the other side of the world?
I guess Ange gets a comped flight home so maybe he'll be happy.

I did think of going from Auckland across the ditch to watch the game but when I saw it was at the MCG I thought the view from Auckland would be just as good.
Not really sure why we are doing this from a footballing point of view.

Lot of gem gem for a Monday morning. No one was crying boarding the plane. Let them enjoy it.

What a complete and utter waste of time and money and way to piss off the players and manager going into the summer.

Reaks of money and Levy.
Prob good for players to have bit of post match debrief and bonding tho. Finished on a high. Looking at them getting on the plane, they look happier than I do this morning going to work 😂

Yeah it's not like they fly economy. International players have to make these trips between league games which is worse. It's really not that bad. Its pretty funny people feeling sorry for players getting trips like this as part of this high paying job they have.
