Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong at the MCG
Last post by DJC -
Subject to getting through our main training session, we have eight players named on an extended bench.  At the risk of offending sentimentalists, the only one of that eight whose form doesn’t really warrant selection is Doc … but he may have trained the house down this week.

The bottom line is that it’s likely that there will be three players who are stiff not to make the final 23.  Then there’s the likes of Pitto, Lemmey, Boyd, Charleson, Binns and Evans, whose VFL form must have pleased the MC, and the Camporeale twins, Moir, O’Farrell and Wilson aren’t far off.

I suspect that a few other clubs would love to have our depth.

Zelensky wont play ball by allowing Putin to keep Crimea or anything else they have stolen and Trump and crew have spat the dummy and want to pull out of any diplomatic solutions and leave Ukraine to suffer.
Disgraceful from the USA imo and probably a guide to our future defense plans where we need to consider who we can trust and rely on. Is AUKUS really worth it or would we be better stocking up on missiles and drones and finding some new defense partners?

If you want to see hypocrisy in full swing, note today that NewsMax Australia, a fairy new and reactive burgeoning right wing digital news source, which in it's start up phase has been using FacePlant as a platform, has been banned by FacePlant for sprouting unacceptable political content on it's platform! :o

This is the same FacePlant offering RedTrump's MAGA support crew an unequalled platform of influence.

The same FacePlant that thieves content from pretty much any and every news source royalty free!

Do you think FacePlant and it's billionaire buddies might see NewsMax as a growing threat to existing business models?

It seems you are free to be right wing as long as you don't compete!

I doubt anyone, God included, could make Trump look respectable, he dwells at the wrong altitude.

When views oppose everybody wants the detail, but when accusations align with political beliefs it seems the detail can be further away than a RedTrump gimme putt! ;D

Everybody should strive to be consistent, to hold people to high standards apply it equally to all from any perspective. When people start making exceptions or become plastic in assessment this is what will cause disputes and deliver opportunities to those who are corrupt. The USA is learning this lesson harder than anyone before!

A bit harsh EB, do you think he was corrupt or just liked to dictate and rule his way? From a leadership perspective I see similarities between him and Kennett.
GTC I see him as corrupt, doesnt have any memory on missing money or who signed for what, happy to throw his own ministers under the bus to save his own hide and you have respected identities like ex Police chief Kel Glare calling the Andrews Govt the most corrupt he has seen in his lifetime. How many investigations did the Anti-corruption Commission have into the Andrews government four or five?
He was a great Dictator/Politician for sure and wrote the playbook for how to survive as a corrupt leader mainly thanks to such an inept Opposition but he has totally fecked Victoria and got away with it and to see him feted as some CoVid hero makes me want to vomit...
