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.

One positive to whats been a pretty disappointing season so far is our midfield seems more balanced and less reliant on Cripps which is a great thing.

Despite having to let Kennedy go we finally have depth now and we are getting an even spread. I would say Cripps would be behind Hewitt, Cerra and even probably Walsh in the B&F to this point which is a massive positive.

Jack has found his home in defence and looks like a bloke who loves the challenge to play on the games best and is unfazed 

Still think Charlie's output doesn't match his reputation. Everyone in the media go so over the top every goal he kicks mark he takes due to his energy and just the way he is exciting to watch but Harry on the other hand is a hard honest worker who is a bit unvalued IMO and his overall game is vital to us beating the best teams - He takes big late game team settling contested marks which is massive when the pressure is on, works s hard late up the ground. Charlie gets the most attention and as a result frees up others but think we underestimate Harrys importance when fit in big moments.

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…

Cerra will likely get a week off from MRO.  Looked like a minor tap behind play but cats player flopped like he had been shot.

Bet he gets cited and one week as its off the ball which they want to stop.

Same here. I had McGoverns papers stamped, I'm sure I'll be back there before season end. But he was great. SOS back is the best positional move we've made in a decade.

mcgovern is that sort of player. He can okay a blinder and make us all think he is a AA defender then plays 2 average games followed by 2 shockers where we all want to put him in the bin.

His biggest problem has never been ability it’s constantly playing at a high level and reduce the number of brain fart shocker games.

Today he was the amazing version of mcGovern who knows what we get next week.
Jack on the other hand looks to have finally found his position. His field kicking is A grade which means we have a decent user when transitioning.

Great even team effort.

is this a joke.

we are 4 wins in the last 10 months. enough. they are coming off a 5 day break.

no more excuses

No, a joke is the fact that over that 10 month period we have had consistently over 10 injuries. We have been fighting with 1 arm behind our back.

All things being equal. We are good enough.
That doesn't mean we will win every week. No team does, not even our 95 team.

But, a bit of perspective to all the 'sack voss' nonsense from a couple weeks ago.

heard the enough of the excuses mate. heard em for 10 years

Hard to believe Albo is leading the polls. Says more about the lack of opposition that the worse PM in our history is favorite to get another term.  

HTF that goose gets to lead any country says a lot of the deplorable state of politics in this country.

Andrews caught trying to use a wealthy mates wife's id after changing the name to get into Moonah links golf course....this after trying to join Portsea golf club previously and the members having a fit and opposing his application.


I saw that EB. I must say i get great joy out of businesses not forgetting what he did. He may not pay for his crimes by the state as he seems to have an uncanny knack of having friends in high places to protect him and of course his on again off again amnesia condition.

However those affected by his make it up as he goes while happily running the state to the ground all to protect his own ego wont be forgotten.

Want to play Golf Dan may have to build a course in your backyard.
