I remember the grand final of 1950.
That was the first of 3 winning grand finals that I played in for Palmyra.
Can't remember Gunny being there, unless he was the ball boy, but ....

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
it's all right X,i'm used to being the team punching bag
In those days you were the team medicine ball.
One more:
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
I think in the wash up of all this Covid there should be pay back such as a situation I heard of many years ago.
Names have been changed to protect the guilty party.
X and Y meet at a club one night and ended up in a horizontal folk dance.
The next day X rings Y and says " thanks for last night, but I have some bad news for you, it appears i have crabs and I may have passed them onto you" - Y was understandably upset, but X reassured Y " its ok, just go to the chemist and get this stuff and apply and in 8 days all will be gone"
8 days later Y rings X and says " have you got rid of those crabs yet?" -
X says "yes - that stuff works great - all gone"
"Cool" says Y - "hey, can I come over to your place and hook up again"
A surprised X says "yes, why not"
So they hook up again, Y comes home and for the first time applies the treatment and thinks " that was a long 8 days but so worth it!"
So the moral of the story is hold some people back with covid then send them to China.
....Or maybe that "honour" sould be taken by someone who has stated they would be happy to be infected?

And send them to the USA.
That's more likely where the infection came to Australia from.
The readily available data would indicate otherwise.
COVID-19 Aussie Data
Regardless of those stats, and not wanting to tempt fate too much, it looks like WA is one of the better places to be during this nightmare.
"The main difference between playing League and Union is that now I get my hangovers on Monday instead of Sunday - Tom David
Let's see ... no cases in WA in the last ten years of people being killed by their local bus driver or being infected with a dangerous and potentially fatal disease by him, as opposed to four or five deaths and 450 plus potentially fatal infections in the last 30 odd days from mixing closely with the rest of the population.
