Gold

Gold star.

Gold star.

We are on the home stretch.

You're doing incredibly well.

They claimed that I should have been more understanding of Emily's needs and that it was my responsibility to make sure she was comfortable and happy at my wedding.

According to them, I was the one who had failed by not accommodating their demands, by not bending over backward to ensure that their golden daughter was satisfied.

The audacity of their reasoning was almost laughable, but what really got to me was their insistence that I had caused a rift in the family by going through with the wedding without them.

They tried every tactic they could think of, guilt-tripping, manipulation, even bringing up past grievances that had nothing to do with the current situation.

Simon, look at this.

It's beautiful.

Collingwood now, it's mothballs in 2026, and the breaking news this morning that their icon, Scott Pendlebury, after 442 games, is leaving the Magpies' nest.

He will be a Gold Coast Sun for the next four years, two as a player and two as an assistant coach.

Lee and Caro, I think we've all drawn breath after last night.

[laughs]

Absolutely.

So look, uh, I'm, I'm just reading a statement that H- Scott Pendlebury has just released, and as you said, Bruce, we are gonna talk to his manager.

Collingwood too have confirmed, uh, what Scott told them, I'm told, on Thursday, that he would be leaving the club and joining the Gold Coast.

But he...
