Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2026 Semi Final Carlton vs Hawthorn at Ikon
Poppy Scholz needs to be told not to pick up the ball.

She is too slow to outrun anyone.
She is not very agile, so everytime she bends down to pick up the ball, she stops.
Everytime she does that she gets tackled.

Last year, it worked for her because it took a few people by surprise how strong she was, and she was able to break tackles.
This year she can't break those tackles.
Instead, she just needs to paddle it forward, kick it forward, allow someone else to do the gathering.

Good group effort by the girls. Not many weak links. It showed in the end when as a group, we never gave up.

At the start of the year, a prelim was what we needed to do to get a pass mark.
We've done that, so credit to all involved.

Now its where it gets tricky....
Dees and Kangas are clearly the 2 best sides, so we need to have a bit of luck from here.
We have heart, we just need some luck.

The Sports Desk / Re: God help me - the Cricket thread
Cricket Australia channeling their best AFL in terms of trying to sweep things under the carpet.
They haven't quite got the experience of the AFL and its come out from under the carpet to cause more grief.

Everyone would've known about it. Can't suspend a whole team, so had to go at someone(s) which they did.

Well....someone found out which rock Bohanna has been hiding under, dusted her off and pushed her into the team.

1 of the 3 ins this week.

INS:
Claudia Whitfort
Tara Bohanna
Lila Keck

OUTS:
Gab Pound
Yasmin Duursma
Tayla McMillan

Gab and Yas a bit stiff IMO
Keck a bit lucky.

Either way, probably the strongest side we could put out there, so lets see how it goes

The same 'scare tactics' were mentioned before Trump took over. I won't go further on that one....

Fraser is by far the exception, not the rule.

I think all politicians are corrupt and inept and only out for themselves and their bank balance.
Labor, Libs, ON....whoever.

Nobody gets anything for free.
You want to fix the current problems, go ahead, but it will be at the expense of something else instead. As i said, pick your poison.

yeah nah. If they are not doing the job they were elected to do they must be taken out of that position. Rewarding poor governing with extra terms is saying ok we accept the corruption, we accept the 200B debt, we accept the pot holes, the waiting lists, the crime etc etc etc. Unless you want the country to turn into the 3rd world you have to replace them and trust the new leadership will improve things. If they dont they are replaced as well.

To try and down play that by throwing in the alternative could be worse is simply showing your bias to a particular party.

Based on your thinking the yanks should re-elect Trump too cause the alternative could be worse ;)

Pick your poison.... ::)

You've got me wrong. I'm 'showing my bias' is proof of that.

I couldn't give a fat rats clacker about what happens. I've already stated they're all the same.
What i'm pushing back against is the fact that people say THIS will fix the problem. I disagree.
There are no good options.
There's a big pile of trash in the room, everyone keeps pointing at and blaming the current government for it.
Each alternative political party will highlight this big pile of trash and say they will fix it.
If/when they get into power, that big pile of trash may well be cleaned up. However, all they will do in reality is move it to another room. Or put it in the closet. Or put it in the garage. Hide it there, until its found, and the cycle repeats.
Eventually someone else will make promises that everyone falls for....the trash just gets hidden somewhere else.

Choose your poison.

No matter which way you go, you won't be pleased with the result.

Scare tactics which you used in the sacking Voss debate. I wont go further on that one..... 

Only the most staunch labour voter would use that argument and it won't work on election day as majority of voters can judge things without that level of bias. Victorians will cast their vote based on understanding the sad condition our state is now in with the current party governing for the last 12 years. Regardless of the fact we dont have a crystal ball to see how the Libs will fare you simply cannot reward the current inept party with another term.
