Anyway, bedtime here. Have a great night!

Good evening @Mustang67 @Zoe7 @StuF @Glisten @TAB @Shaz51 @tyme @Lauz @Emelia8 and all sports lovers here. I hope you’ve had a great weekend watching your favourite sports and that they won. I had a double win with both the Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Lions winning so I was a happy camper, especially on Saturday night after my lions won a very close match against GWS. Go the Brisbane Lions 🦁!

@Mustang67 I’m so happy you like the NRL even if it is the Panthers! I’m not a Melbourne Storm member but I did used to go to some games at AAMI Park - before COVID 19 came- but I still watch them on TV when they play. Have you met any of the players? My sister has met Wayne Bennett many years ago when the Broncos were staying in Coogee which was rather special as she’s a Broncos supporter. I’ve had the chance to meet Billy Slater and Cameron Smith and have got photos with them with my plush rabbit dressed in a Storm outfit from Build a Bear Workshop which both guys loved - Cameron said he was going to go to Build a bear to get 1 for his kids as he liked my bunny so much. Her name is Stormi and she’s been to several games including to a bunnies match and had her photo taken with the bunnies mascot. Billy lives near me in Melbourne but I rarely see him at our local shops - he’s got a horse stud and his wife is a very talented painter of horse portraits. May the best team win the Grand Final!

As for sports news,

- Week 1 of the NRL finals has been and gone with the following results being a win to the Panthers, Storm, Cowboys and Manly Sea Eagles. Week 2 sees the Storm and Panthers having the week off and advancing to Week 3 with the Storm playing the winner of either Manly or the Roosters and the Panthers playing the winner of the Cowboys or Sharks. I’m hoping the Storm play the roosters and we make it to the grand final to play the cowboys and win it as I’m not sure we’re good enough to defeat the panthers.

 - AFL- week 3 of the finals sees Sydney play Port Adelaide on Friday night in Sydney and Geelong play Brisbane at the MCG on Saturday afternoon to get into the grand final on 28th. I’m hoping the lions can go all the way and play Sydney in the big 1 but I’m not sure we can as the Lions don’t have a great record of winning at the MCG. A girl can always dream!

That’s all for me! May you continue to cheer loudly for your favourite teams and sports players!

Good evening @Zoe7 @StuF @Glisten @TAB @Mustang67 @Shaz51 @tyme @Ru-bee @Emelia8 @Lauz and all sports lovers here. I hope you’ve had a great week cheering on your sports teams and players.

Tonight was Week 3 of the AFL finals with Sydney Swans defeating the Port Adelaide Power at the SCG. I chose to watch the game on TV and was pleased to see the swans defeat the power - bad memories of 2004 grand final for this Brisbane Lions girl! This means that Sydney now travel to the MCG to play the winner of the Brisbane Lions vs Geelong Cats match tomorrow afternoon at 5:15pm. I will admit I’m feeling nervous about the game and hope it will go the way of the lions but I’m not certain it can happen. I will be watching the game on TV so I’ll report back later tomorrow night on the final result. If the Lions do make it through to the grand final, I’ll have to adjust my cruise packing and add my lions T-shirt and baseball cap to the suitcase which I’ll be watching onboard Carnival Splendour in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on Saturday afternoon. Let’s go, lions!

The other final that was on tv tonight was the Week 2 of the NRL finals with the Cronulla Sharks taking on the North Queensland Cowboys with the Sharks winning to go on to play Penrith Panthers next week. I’m cheering on the Sharks next weekend as I don’t want face Penrith as they’ve been very good over the past few years. The Melbourne Storm- my team- will play the winner of either the Roosters or Manly in the other final next weekend. I’m hoping for the roosters to win as I’m not a Manly fan. I may have to see if I can watch the match on the cruise ship next Friday or Saturday when they play. Let’s go, Storm! I will be packing my Storm baseball hat to wear on the cruise as well.

That’s all from me tonight.

Take care!
