Any chance the 2028 GE in the USA will actually happen?

Hopefully we can sort out how we exit our D50. We had the same issue for three quarters v Hawks.
Getting ready for making more Marmalade. First batch completed yesterday.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

I can’t help thinking the team that wins promotion will be dominating games like this in the run in.
That said, if #Boro are fit and firing over the last 3 or four games of the season, anything is possible.
Does that mean there’s a chance he’ll be half fit?

It’s all about confidence and self belief.
Carrick must now convince the players to assert their authority.
Career AFLCA home & away coaches votes, 2004-2024
Nick Daicos has reached 240 votes in 13 games fewer than anyone else (Fyfe 78 games).
Note that 2004 was the first season that the AFLCA award was based on weekly votes. Thanks @matterofstats.bsky.social for the 2004 votes.
European Sleeper (Brussels/Amsterdam-Berlin/Prague) have shared some stats:
Average 400 pax per train is a decent number!
They say they're on track for profitability, revenues in 2024 more than doubled vs 2023, another 66% increase anticipated in 2025.
Really interesting account, this one.
And very handy if you’re considering rail travel in Europe.
Arrived today #AFL

I don’t know about you but I find watching on TV even more stressful than watching live.
Good luck with the op 👍
Reading the direct quotes from MC, I’m not as convinced as I hoped I’d be. #Boro
