So many good performances, but I must single out Bozenik who I thought made us look so much better with his hold-up play and quick layoffs. Hope we stick with him on Saturday π€
This was excellent. Interesting to read things from a different perspective

So sad. I see it with Rotary friends as they get older. The change seems to come suddenly and dramatically. 1 friend in particular was sharp as a button until his mid 80s and now struggles to grasp things π’

I don't think they should, but I have a lot of respect for those who do. As a supporter, it's sometimes nice to see that players/owners care and accept responsibility.
