Never been a more corrupt party.

Trump cant fart without everyone going nuts on here yet own backyard is a shambles on so many fronts and hardly a word.

funny that.

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.

Notice Board (Visitors Enter Here) / Posting from Media and Other sites

We probably just need to reinforce the way we do this on this site

From the code of conduct

Quote
8. Note on posting articles from newspapers -quoting a sentence or a single paragraph with a URL or other reference is acceptable but quoting an entire article is not permitted.

Most of us aren't real big fans of the media.
Few of us are big fans of the paywall.

But it serves a purpose in that it protects access for the provider of the content.
It also means those that do subscribe get full value for their outlay

So rather than quoting whole articles could we just adhere to the practice of providing a link and then enough of the article to give context.
It actually helps the provider by directing people to their content.

If folks are interested enough or want to read the whole article they have the option to subscribe.

Interview with Fogarty in there.

Reidy before Pitto
No O'Keefe.

Not sure how you can leave Kemp out of that side, 'potential injury' or not, he's named 1st emergency, so either he is right or he isn't......and i'm thinking he'll be right.

Put him in place of Lewis Young.

Have Dean and Weitering as starting KPDs and if Dean struggles, swing Kemp back.
Otherwise, have Kemp as KPF with Harry and Moir as 3rd tall.
Have a resting ruck deep forward when required and have the other ruck setting up shop across CHB to help out Dean.

Lewis Young, surplus to requirements.

You have to wonder how much research they put into their selections  ::)

For example, "Brodie Kemp looks to be in doubt as he works his way back from an Achilles injury".  It's only a match sim but Kemp seems to be back to his best and working very well with Harry:

https://www.carltonfc.com.au/video/1949008/blue-view-snippet-kemp-mckay-combine-up-forward?videoId=1949008&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1769918451001

Yes, we occasionally use Moir as a fill in key forward when the big boys are having a breather or a spell in the ruck, but there's no way that he's going to play as first choice CHF.  The problem is though, if Kempy comes in to the 23, as I'm sure he will, who drops out?

I think that O'Keeffe will play too, at the expense of Reidy.
