Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Shawny’s concerns about Victorian and Australian Governments
So if the tax rates are lower you'll be fine with crime at its current levels ?
But an increase in tax will need to result in lower crime rates ?
Let’s get it done 👍🏼

Ps
Great posts Lods and Pauly.
Any level of crime is unpleasent at best but I’m of the belief that there’s a level that won’t disappear, that’s for the jail industry to deal with, the majority of young kids are saveable if we as a society have the will.


Any doubt on your level of stupidity was dismissed with your post.


It’s noted that you still lack the consciousness to view grey and are stuck in a black/white world.
Keep up your Sky subs, Rupert needs you… 👍🏼

Its hard to take anything you post seriously when there is nothing that this team can possibly do that could earn your praise and respect.
look beyond the jumper.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL EF#1 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong
Between the weather and Geelongs changes we stopped our short game and went longer to Geelongs advantage.
I’m also share a bit of trepidation about next year, I saw a graphic a few weeks ago listing the most successful interim coaches and our old friend D. Teague was there…
I know Fraser has backed the youth this year and we remember that Teague sidelined the youth when he took over but next year we start at zero again…

Yep, all clubs start at zero and have to go through it all over again.

I wouldn't worry about comparing records across coaching types (rookie, premiership, interim etc.) Neither Josh Fraser, nor Chris Scott, nor any one individual will get us back to the top. The change to a winning culture needs to happen across the entire organization.

I guess Fraser has ignited a winning culture, even if it is to our 2026 draft detriment.
Carlton and tanking are now officially divorced.

Disappointing way to finish the season IMO. It felt like earlier in the year, where we built up leads only to fritter them away.

I'm not so confident after last night that we have in fact turned a corner. Very good last 10/12/14 weeks of the season then making a bit of a dent in finals seems to be the best we can manage at the moment.

The Sports Desk / Re: God help me - the Cricket thread
As much as the batting failed the bowling group abjectly failed to build pressure.
Barely a maiden, with a few dotballs scattered throughout.
The Bangers cruised along at 3.5 an over.
They applied themselves on the opening day and 1st session in particular against a bunch of blokes who looked like they hadn’t played for 6 months, in conditions that suited the bangers, not us.
The pitch then turned into a road, game over.

I missed the weekends play as I went bush and was shattered to see that Jake missed out, he’ll play in Qld next up he’s going to need some luck…
The selectors want Head to drop down the order, they want 2 openers… but who wants the job, who can do the job, who’s in form ?

As an aside 3 fellas spent all day marooned on a sandbar yesterday after missing the tide… 🤣

 Some guys went fishing out from shady camp a few years ago now, there boat hit a log and sunk.They managed to get to the bank and climb a little tree. A croc thought this looks a nice dinner and waited at the bottom of the tree for the tide. As the water got higher the croc got closer and closer, then along came another boat and saved the day.

Not quite a regular occurrence but certainly not unheard of.
