Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)
I doubt there will be much come out of this other than paranoia, the stuff they know about will be buried or is already buried, it's the stuff they imagine might exist that will bring them undone.

Paranoia will lead to someone throwing somebody else under the bus, that is when it unravels.

If there is a journo that is smart enough, brave enough, or stupid enough, they will be able to create havoc.

Then there is the issue of whistleblowers, that is how the more traditional falls occur. There is always someone on the clean up team who is parnoid or crooked enough to keep a copy of something, who find themself in a no win nothing to lose scenario.

Over the years, the very best journos I worked with never really needed access to the facts, all they really needed was a good question for the right person.
Like with our Charlie thing I think if there’s smoke there’s fire… bill clinton gets spoken of a lot! Bill gates… trump of course.

It has to come out - someone somewhere will pull the trigger for the real stuff to come. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

The fact it hasn’t already is revolting - I don’t care who you are, if they’ve done something as alleged they deserve to lose it all!

Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW - FINALS WEEK 2 - Carlton vs Hawthorn - Sat 7:15 @ Ikon
We went to the game -
Unfortunately spent the first quarter lining up to get food and missed it all 🙄 

Fantastic game, the girls are tough and play on well and mark well. A few errors here and there but they regrouped quickly.

I love Sophie’s enthusiasm and showmanship, it is nice to see.

Couldn’t help but still be worried when we were 6 goals up! Thanks to the recent effort in the men’s team I never count a win until the very end!

Frustrating game to watch as we had the ball so much but couldn’t capitalise. Unfortunately the umpires saw every 50/50 and gave it their way. They also take way too long to blow the bloody whistle when it’s being wrestled over.

Some Disappointing costly errors and only a few shining lights this week.

Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2025 Round 8 Carlton vs Geelong at Kardinia Park


Yep, 4 possessions, clearly BOG.  ::)
Take away everything Darcy did today and we still win.

Actually, Buck's decision to move Darcy forward gave us the spark to stop Geelong's resurgence and enabled us to skip away.  Without that move, and those brilliant efforts from Darcy, we probably lose. 
Have to agree.  She mayve been pretty ineffective for 3/4’s but again steadied the ship when required - amazing goal and GA wheh we were really under the pump.

Feel Like McKay and particularly Mimi kept trying to do a little too much - they are both very good and some of their teammates were letting them down so no diss on them, just hopefully they won’t feel that need and there’s much more team
Collaboration in the future,

The Daicos fawning is unbelievable.  Not sure why Hamish and Goyder kiss his arse so much but the more they do it the more people will
Dislike Daicos!  I mean how influential has The Bont been over his journey yet has come runner up a few times - don’t hear the bullcrap in the media about that like we do about Daicos. Give it a rest ffs.
