@madbluboy So you think there are other football forums that are more open and tolerant, can you offer some examples?

How are you and others being tolerant of Shawny's views? This thread was created to mock him.

But you said that the current State government wasn’t democratically elected.

thats not what i said at all!!

my comment was relating to allan not being elected democratically.

she was elected by her party and i stand by that.

I understand what your saying but dont agree with it.

anyhow we are going in circles now

It’s because DJC gets a trailing commission…

That was so funny - you should join the Labour party.

They pay clowns well

Why do you insist on deflecting criticism of the senile narcissist in the White House with ill-considered complaints about Australian governments?

We have a thread devoted to the lunacy of the convicted felon and I started this thread to give you a platform to air what you believe are problems with our State and Commonwealth governments.

If you want to defend the indefensible, post in the Taco thread.  If you want to bleat about Australian politicians, do it here.

Nice try at deflecting.

How people accept this absolute bloody disgrace corrupt bunch of criminals that just happens to be in charge of running our state - running it into the ground astounds me.

And my comparsion to US politics and the obsession with everything that happens on the other side of the world is very relevant and if comparing that to the corrupt government we have here just happens to trigger you well so be it.

Im fking triggered at the corrupt spending of 15 BILLION dollars of OUR money.

15 billion in case you didnt know is 15 thousand MILLION and yet not one comment about your thoughts on this situation.

i wonder why that is ?😏

Sorry im a fence sitter.  My range is, wheels fall off as low as 14th.  Things go swimmingly premiership from 2nd to 4th.  Things go average, and results not going our way, probably around 8th.

I actually think that's a better idea.
Give him the two years now.
And emphasise the tranistional nature of this year....because I think even the most optimistic of us don't see us going deep into the finals.
Improving yes, but not dramtically.

If we do go really low on the ladder that extra year becomes a much harder sell at the end of the year.

The two problems I see are
- we're getting some really positive messages out of the club, rather than dampening expectaions they're raising them.
- have we already sounded someone out for 2027 and are keeping our powder dry to see what eventuates.
(the club isn't seen to be sacking a coach prior to contract end, but has someone lined up once Voss's contract finishes.)

He is contracted for 2026 already, i am suggesting adding 2027 now.

Are you suggesting adding in 2028 also??

Certainly not out of the question.

Best way to look at that is who will be worse than us?

From the bottom 3 last year...
Both Tigers and North are predicted to rise.
Eagles, less so.

Who will drop?

Melbourne seem to be on the slide as much as us.
Maybe Essendon, but i'm sure they think they are top 4.

Definitely possible. More possible than most will admit.

Missing finals will be the end of Vossy.

While Australia is bucking the trend of falling interest rates in major nations and raising rates Donald Trump has launched "Trump Accounts". What is it and how does it work?..glad you asked...

Every newborn in the USA will receive US$1,000 from the government, deposited into an investment account, with parents acting as custodians until age 18 (all children under 18 can still establish accounts)
The money is mandated to be invested in US equity ETFs or index funds.
Families, employers and charities can contribute up to US$5,000 per year
Accounts are locked until age 18, at which point funds can be used to buy a home, pay for education, or continue saving for retirement.
Access to the money may be linked to financial literacy requirements.

Now Im not normally a fan of anything Trump says or does but this isnt a bad idea imo. Taking into account inflation and to make the amount of money significant it will require extra contributions every year but it does have merit in encouraging saving and learning about investments and might get a proportion of the population interested enough to participate in a meaningful manner.

I read somewhere that the red Ozito tools in Bunnings are actually manufactured by Milwaukee.
I am only a very spasmodic DIYer these days but I have owned a red Ozito drill for many years and it has been very good.
