Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Shawny’s concerns about Victorian and Australian Governments
does that mean left leaning papers just dont consider it newsworthy?
Beware the echo chamber.
Newscorpse has a very well understood and documented approach to "news." It's not really a left or right issue. To characterize news outlets as simply left or right is IMO a mischaracterization.
When does news end, and opinion begin? That line is very blurry in the halls of Newscorp organisations......

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Lewis Young
It's supposed to be about Lewis Young, yet the whole last page is talking about a bunch of other players. He can't even get a gig on his own discussion thread!

McGovern is still on the list at the moment. O'Farrell will be out for a lot of next year. There certainly is a role to be filled early next year at CHB. Or forward. There appears to be an opportunity, or two, for Lewis Young next year. Will he step up to it?

In the movie, Biff the bully runs the gambling house, is totally corrupt, and effectively owns the police and the judiciary
Wow, they even got the hair and the arrogant look right........

Can't wait for his first tweet in response to this announcement.
Cue Karoline Leavitt
'President Trump has decided to cease all aid funding to the Venezuelan government and will impose 500% tariff increases on Venezuelan imports (except nose candy which we will continue to blow out of the water, together with some unsuspecting fishing boats.....)'
Looks like the neighbourhood bully doesn't take too kindly to be upstaged.......

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)
In the USA, there is no semblance of respect for someone with an opposing view, because that is the example set by their so-called leaders.
Both sides of politics in the US have fostered a growing level of hatred for the opposition - the leaders call each other 'mentally deranged', 'retarded' and 'bad people', among other far worse things. There is often inferred acceptance of physical harm in some of the messaging. It has certainly gotten worse with the advent of Donald, who uses public insults and belittlement as his primary campaign tool, but the Democrats are no saints either.
This then feeds the rhetoric of both sides of the media, which unleash attacks on various public figures based on ideology and viewpoint. Now there is a population that is increasingly polarised because they only seek and listen to messages that fit their world view. Mix in conspiracy theories via unchecked social media, marginalised individuals with an axe to grind, and ready access to weapons, and there is a shooting frenzy ready to happen.
Both right- and left-wing politicians and public figures have been murdered in recent times, so neither side can claim 'victim' status.
But until the leaders of both political persuasion say 'enough is enough', and start showing a level of respect they expect the whole country to uphold, things will only get worse.
I fear Australia is going down the same track, as we become increasingly influenced by media-driven one-liners and cheap-shot journalists who no longer report news, only their agenda-laden opinions.

I find it very hard to believe that Ross Lyon or Steve Silvagni are making any decisions based on revenge. If that's true, the St Kilda fans should absolutely revolt and demand they both be sacked. Appalling lack of professionalism, if true.Ill bet my left one they are.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Annus horribilis
I reckon Ross Lyon would have a 'hate' list as long as your arm. He just strikes me as the type of guy who is so convinced he knows all the answers, he treats everyone who disagrees with contempt. I am certainly not disappointed that we haven't spent the last 3 years watching a Lyon-based game plan. He certainly hasn't done the Saints fans any favours, watching them play is almost a chore.
We both won the same amount of games this season.
Many pundits suggested that Rich v St Kilda game would make the podium for the worst AFL game of all time. imagine watching that rubbish on a weekly basis.

The coach over there isn't a big Carlton fan either having been spurned and asked to go through a process.
Dinners must be fun as they air their grievances and plot their revenge
