Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Vale Professor Richard Scolyer
Brave man, one of our best friends has her stepdaughter aged 21 with the same condition and was on one of the same trial drug programs. Dr Scolyer is a great loss to the community but his work and the ongoing work of his colleagues will improve the lives of others RIP.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 13 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Essendon
It seemed to me that Essendon put a fair bit of work into planning how to combat our strengths.
If Fraser doesn't want the job, maybe we can offer it to Solomon. ;)  :D
Dons had some big bodies in the midfield and got their matchups right.
Terrible standard game imo and we probably got dragged down to their level too. If they had their injured full forward in May instead of a stiff like Ben McKay they probably would have been further ahead at half time.

Moir is one of the great wastes of obvious talent. Reminds me of Troy Menzel going back a few years. All talent but not the output to match.

Really think jack ison is going to be what Moir should have been.  Same skill level, but just harder and wants it more.  Doing the little things well, which Moir hasn’t done
Moir doesnt appreciate the natural talent he has, the skills are easy for him but there is more to the game than just having great skills and having to concentrate for 4 quarters and not be carefree seems too hard for him.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 13 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs Essendon at MCG

Nope, not just win, we need to be focussed on crushing an opponent for a generation.

Hurting them to the point this generation of CheatsFC players never recover, eternally subservient to Carlton, we must show we are prepared to inflict an eternal bruise! ;)

Until we develop that killer instinct, we are consigned to mediocrity, there is no playing nice, nice in AFL is reserved for also rans!

I apologise if I offend someone with comments like this, but it is reality, not an idealistic meme!
Seems there are a lot of nervous supporters on the forum. I'm not one of them.
JF won't allow any complacency to creep in and nor will the younsters.
The Blues by 55.
Agree...Bombers are no good and hopefully we slaughter them and they react by wanting the messiah Hird back and then they stay down for another ten years.

Some of our blokes look they are done at the club and know their fate, Fogarty is probably the exception and has tried hard.
Young has been poor on Gerryn who has kicked three on him and Moir who is a great kick just turns the ball over with poor execution and lazy thought process on a regular basis.
Not sure who is playing on Edwards but he needs a spell on the bench, Derksen missing has left a gaping hole down back.
Ben Campo has been ok on the wing but not well enough to be playing seniors.
Darcy Hogg seems to do a good job every week.
Hogg is the definition of a good honest footballer, gives you effort and is team orientated.
Conversely Im not sure what has happened to Okeefe, he looks slow, cumbersome and lacking in effort.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: General Discussions
Yep that's how I understand it too Dodge...the trustee would have paid tax on the total income and then the Individual beneficiaries get the tax credit subject to their tax rate etc.
Personally, I'm not against schemes that level the playing field, if the low income earners were being taxed more than it would be an injustice, but making billionaires pay their fair share is OK by me if it means we all have to pay.

I'd give my extra $5 if it means Gina, Bruce, Anthony and the rest pay their billion$!
Good in theory but Gina, Bruce,Clive and co wont be paying any extra, they never do, middle Australia will pick up the tab and everyone will have to pay more for health insurance when the over 65's start dropping out of private insurance after losing the rebate and driving the costs up.
Albo and crew  are more interested in securing another term and bringing back ISIS brides to appease Tony Burkes mate so the migrant vote goes their way.
New Zealand are going to have a lot of expat Aussies becoming Kiwi citizens on paper....

Unfortunately, not all the kids in the Magoos and some recruits actually aren't coming along as well as we might have hoped... nor delivering consistent strong efforts - Moir, Ben Campo, Reidy, Chesser, Irish boys...
Like to see Ben C get a run later on if it is possible. He's consistently doing a good job in the twos. Disposal is ok as long as he handballs...lol. His only issue, with the type of player he is, is that is has so many ahead of him. So might not be possible. The boys are polar opposite types from their old man in playing style.
Agree Scott is what we need and Ben is what we have plenty of, Lucas looked good in his first game but since hasnt fired a shot or has been injured and wingman are a dime a dozen in any draft or trade week.
I have a soft spot for father/sons so I dont want them delisted but if their surname wasnt Camporeale you would be moving them on more than likely...
