He's picked Carlton unsurprisingly
What a twatt. 

Not officially I don't think, but we can expect him to.

Officially he has, was quoted during the week.

Yeah you're correct.

Oh well, sour grapes here, stuff him. Have fun rebuilding the Blues for another preliminaryship in 10 years.

I’ve had a shocking time with my little guy Ewok.

Over the space of a few days he got weaker and weaker and eventually paralysed at the ripe age of three.

Getting good veterinary care in rural Philippines is impossible. So I jumped on the bus with him and travelled 3hrs to the nearest major city.

After X-rays and scans etc , it was determined he had a badly compressed spinal cord and no feeling from the waste down. The treatment was going to be long and no guarantees. But we had to try.

He spent three and a half weeks at the vet. The treatment was amazing. Would get video updates morning and night as they worked on him and I would do the 6hr round trip each Friday to visit him. When I would walk in where he was caged he would squeal in excitement and wag (his upper body would move as his lower couldn’t).

After three and a half weeks of constant therapy he was able to stand for a couple of seconds if stood up. The decision was then made to pick him up and bring him home to continue treatment.

I set up a big ice cooler and filled it with water and started exercising him in there. Eventually he could stand for a few mins unassisted. After a week and a bit , he was able to stand in the water for 10 mins. I kept it at 10 mins and each time lowered the water level, until he did 10 mins of standing still in an empty esky.

After 6-7 weeks , unbelievably, he stood up in front of all of us and walked over to his bowl. We yelled in excitement more than I yelled during the 2017 grand final.

The weeks of twice daily catheters, once a day suppositories, laser treatments, massaging him etc have been worth it.

He’s now walking around and doing better every day.

Been a long few months ,  but we are well on the way .. he’s a fighter

Also, I just want to say. He was never in pain at any stage and at every stage he had a smile on his face (as best dogs do). I nearly pulled the pin on multiple occasions , but he kept saying no with his behaviour.

Extraordinary effort mate. Well done, very touching.

Their resilience at times genuinely amazing

Great to read a good news story, thanks Damo.

IF ...
some feared the Tigers wouldn't win even one match in 2025 ...

THEN ...
the fact they've secured four, the same amount as North Melbourne, is borderline extraordinary. And with a Saturday night game against the only team below them on the ladder, it could very easily become five. And 16th-placed North Melbourne awaits in round 23.
