As an Aussie that has lived and worked in India for 4 years now I have never felt so far away from feeling Australian. I don't know how you can deny citizens to return home especially when there are hotel quarantines in place.

I understand everyone's concern with the level of infection over here and the possibility of a new variant. But isn't that the purpose of hotel quarantine for 14 days? .Love to all those affected and hope this situation has a good outcome for all the Aussies here in India 💙.

Nature of the beast and all that. This time last year was afforded time to turn it around and did. New manager comes in now with 10-12 games- do they make the 6 anyway? .Simon is a Quality manager. Recruitment/Retention? .Management ?.Knee Jerk once again.
For bringing home silverware that had eluded us, for a fight to the finish that inspired us, for every magical night at our Fortress and for so much more. 🔵. #ThankYouSimon #WeAreBFC
