Just to dot point the way the game has gone, we are seeing drinks breaks sponsored by x in both halves.

In the australia vs Turkey game it was a balmy 20 degrees in Canada.  

Hardly a heat rule situation.

You could argue fairness as a reason behind it, but the cynic in me says its about money and nothing more.

A lot depends which GWS team turns up.
If it's the one that played the Saints, we're a chance. :D
If it's the one that played Brisbane, we're cactus. ::)
They're a good side, not a superside and inconsistent. Very beatable. 50-50, no more than that. Only time in any half recent memory where we won 5 straight is in 2023 in a run of 10. We don't normally do 4 straight, helped we played Essendon, let alone 5 straight. If we do then we may have the right attitude for a change that carries us through the season like 2023. Now that big question......IF!

Yep, a big ask for us this week. I probably won’t be be tipping us. Just hoping I’m wrong.
Ye have little faith Cookie, the Baggers are BIT.
I feel like I’m riding my luck! Need to keep getting those tips right at the moment! Actually, if we win I’ll be rapt irrespective of tipping.

Don't like Hamiliton but no doubt in the right car he is still one of the best.

Saw a clip of him in an interview talking about how there shouldn't be any large gaps of wealth and how there shouldn't be billionaires and how many should be shared around.  Noble ideal Lewis but the hypocrisy of it all is Lewis was wearing Paket Phillipe watch with 1.5M. His new GF is worth over 1.5B and he is worth a lazy 500M.
 
Have to love the likes of these elites making statements completely at odds with their very life.   


Agree but he does give a lot to charities and foundations. He's wealthy by he is a good good egg.

When you earn as much as they do, giving money to charity must always be viewed through the suits for tax reasons Lense.

Yes, details matter. The VSC came too early for him to suit his strategy.
The VSC came too late for Russell, Norris and Antonelli to suit their strategy, they had only just pitted.

If the VSC happened a few laps later Hamilton might have already pitted and would have lost the advantage, it was lucky and there is nothing else to say about it but it doesn't detract from Hamilton's good drive or Ferrari's better strategy.
