Didnt see Albo and crew volunteering to cut the fuel excise to help Australians or say they would return all that extra GST they will make on inflated petroleum product prices to farmers and the agriculture sector etc...Trump isnt the only one who can exploit or take advantage when it suits...

Taco explaining war and prices:

“Prices are coming down very substantially, oil will be coming down. That's just a matter of war that happens very, you can almost predict it. I would say it went up a little bit less than we thought, it's going to come down more than anybody understands."

For accuracy’s sake, substitute “subsquishatly” for “substantially”.

Leaving aside the mispronunciation, what on earth does that mean?  That’s not the speech of a lucid, rational person capable of clear thinking or considered decision making.

Losing is just not an option here.

We should win and win easy.

I reckon Derksen is a bit stiff. He'll be playing before much longer.

Boyd appears back in calculations after a year where he appeared forgotten.

Fog is a bit lucky: Evans' injury probably sealed his spot, although Byrne could take it away soon.

Cox reminds me of a rabbit giraffe in the headlights 🙄

Believe it or not individual teams go into Round 1 with different mindsets depending on their stage of development. Leigh Matthews used to build into the season, and look at peaking at the right time. I dare say Chris Scott thinks likewise as would Chris Fagan. Ross Lyon will have StKilda wound up tighter than a 50's wrist watch to ensure they usher in the new era with a win...... and Vossie has a new game plan that needs to show credibility and effectiveness.  So where does that leave Dean Cox and the Swan? Will their attitude be all about showing off their shiny new toy and how that one piece of the jigsaw is enough to take them back into the top 4, or are they at a stage where the build up to a season is the way to go. As is repeated so often before (and after) around 1 games, it's worth 4 point, like every other round..... nothing more, nothing less. I think the Swans in Round 16 would be a far more dangerous outfit than in Round 1.

Caveat: preseason game.

I don't get why the MAGA media post this stuff and think it's a positive for RedTrump, or how anybody can read it and think he some sort of righteous clarion.

I read that paragraph and think, this heavily resourced and connected Kent new what was going or in a global paedophile ring back in 2006 and chose to do feck all about it!

I suspect that he was terrified that Epstein would spill the beans ... and still is, albeit posthumously.

Moir reminds me very much of Troy Menzel.

Their cameos look great but like many players of this mould they struggle to add more strings to their bow and can be a bit pigeon holed - maybe they just don't work as hard as they should as their glimpses of brilliance gets them brownie points other less flashy players are not afforded 

As a fan i get very excited with these sorts but have been disappointed more times as only a few go on to play long careers.

Time will tell.

I fear you’re right but obviously hope he can develop into a solid contributor.
