Not only that - but who really cares.  It is not important that he wore a blue suit (as did William, and Biden a blue tie).  It's not like he wore shorts and a t shirt.

When people get tied up with this bs, the real issues get tucked away.



Its because so many are obsessed by the guy that his every word, every action and now even what he wears is analyzed to the enth degree.

If only our local politician's were grilled with the same passion.     

Do you want to check in with Julia Gillard about that ?

I agree its a nothing burger but it also speaks for his lack of care and respect for well, anyone and everything thats not Donald Trump...

I saw Cerra grab at his groin late in the game, went off holding it and in some discomfort. I have since read he may have injured it. I also read SOS hurt his hand. Haynes hurt his shoulder so we may miss a few net week.

Cerra returned.
SOS hurt his hand very early and returned strapped up.
Haynes hurt his shoulder and was in trouble for a bit but I don’t think he left the ground…

On the Bellarine the "vacancy tax" in addition to greatly increased land taxes (400%) is playing havoc with prices. People are dumping places, and in my neighbours words "p!ssing off to Queensland where we don't get reamed for owning a holiday house".
My bought a property in Port Douglas, he reckons the Qld government collects land tax for that property plus tax on any  other property you may have in Victoria. He owns a few rentals here so he will be up for a bundle.
Qld gov collects land tax on Victorian property…? 🤔

The couch crew are always insightful and Rewaldt is growing on me.
360 is better without Robbo, what’s the story with him going ?

I rarely get time to watch any others.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 5 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast in Gather Round
Maybe there is nothing to bring in, how about changing some roles (within reason). E.g. The turnover stats for Gov are horrible, 17 (worst in the comp) and 7 have directly resulted in goals to the opposition (that's 42 points of our 58 point total losing margin).  Thats unsustainable. Im sure they are working with him to rectify this however if it continues, there must be a tipping point surely.

there is something going on there.  he has always been a bit flaky, but last year he was actually pretty good, with minimal brainfades.   this year, he is dropping uncontested marks and making really bad decisions.   

maybe there is something going on at the club that we dont know about - the H and Lij problems, a number of prime movers down (some beacuse of injuries etc) - just too many issues at the moment....
It may be as simple as the number of blokes who’s partners have had babies… loss of sleep and relationship pressures can be  exactly the source of the issues we see on the field.
