Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 11 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Gold Coast
Can anyone see us winning today based on what we've been doing for 4 quarters most weeks?
We don't look fit, and we were soundly obliterated after half time last week.
If young is fit he should be playing. Weiters going down cooked us, you could argue we looked better with young than without him so far this season.
Very much a 50/50 game IMO.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)
@PaulP Sorry I fixed it, should have written "global politics".
I was trying to discuss Trump's influence on dud politicians in other countries, the low end bottom feeders are adopting his tactics pretty much everywhere you look! Trump's behaviour like a universal user manual for how to sh1t in the pool and peg the blame on someone else!
Perhaps he has emboldened a few, but he isn't the first in recent times by any means. Berlusconi and Orbán immediately spring to mind as forerunners. I've said a few times that the left is basically dead, and the world is shifting to the right, with barely any exceptions, and barely any resistance.

Currently there is a prime example of where Trump has taken politics, to the very very bottom of the barrel!

His whole political history is a prime example of this, surely ?

We made it through his first term.
Both God and the devil reside in the details. You need to look beyond paid off, sycophantic media outlets.

I'm not a fan of either. Biden has done a few good things, although admittedly the bar in the US is set pretty low.

Newman had a big game.
I guess he might scrape in a vote or two. I thought Pittonet and Acres were ok-ish, but it was a pretty dark day all round, and we shouldn't sugarcoat it IMO.

.............................................................................. That incident is a main reason I do not want to see prior opportunity removed, it's not football, if fans want to go see that sort of game go and watch soccer instead! I'd be happy to ban kicking off the ground altogether!
I'd have to agree. It is a hard game to umpire, and different interpretations are no doubt frustrating, but as more and more teams follow the Richmond model and keep the ball moving forward at all costs, mostly by kicking off the deck, tap ons etc., the game just loses something IMO. It becomes in a way, uglier.

Folks don't think that Voss can spot a half arsed effort a mile out ?
