After The Game With Snaps Truly – Rd 17 2025 V Sydney

in Life, Law & Culture
A few years ago, I was watching Freo playing at home. We weren’t at our best. Neither was I. From ragged memory, it was only a couple of weeks before I was sent to Italy for a short stay at the Sanatorio per gli Illusi in Florence – the Sanatorium of the Deluded.
