Ronan McGinniss asks; "About now AFL clubs would usually be promoting offers to members to renew for next season. Do you think memberships will be harder to sell for 2021 because clubs currently don't know what they can offer in regards to match tickets? Will members sign up for premium tiers and be prepared to forgo their benefits for a second year in a row?"Jamie Lyn asks "Is the boundary rider role dead? It seems the commentators on the boundary (or 10 rows back in the stands at the moment) simply talk over replays giving no more information than the average punter can see on the couch.The cameras that are fixed on the benches and in the rooms simply make the role of boundary rider redundant. They should be limited purely to player interviews if they can't add significant information that they have seen at the ground. Do you agree?31.00 – Will we be watching the Murdoch documentary The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty on ABC TV Sunday night?The Sounding Board is produced, engineered and edited by Jane Nield for Crocmedia.

Line two trays with baking paper.Place the almonds, icing sugar and salt in the food processor and blitz until the almonds are finely ground, but not a powder. Add in the butter and continue to blitz until the mixture is well combined. Add in the flour, rose water and vanilla and pulse until everything just comes together, scraping down the bowl as you go if needed. It should be soft but not sticky. Add in more flour if necessary. Roll the mixture into walnut size balls and arrange on the trays, allowing room for them to spread as they cook. Place the biscuits in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up slightly. Bake in the preheated oven for around 15 minutes or until just beginning to colour around the edges – they will still be a little soft but will harden on cooling. When cool enough to handle, but still warm, roll the biscuits in icing sugar then allow to cool completely. Dust with extra icing sugar and top with rose petals and pistachios.
