Last post by Gointocarlton -based on current form we are big chances to win 5 of the 8 in this run.
Hawks Freo and Bris are the real tough ones in this block.
The pies game is a massive one

R19: Collingwood, MCG W
R20: Gold Coast, Marvel Stadium W
R21: Brisbane, Marvel Stadium L
R22: St Kilda, Marvel Stadium L
R23: Western Bulldogs, Marvel Stadium L
R24: Fremantle, Marvel Stadium L
Predicted finish: 10th (10-13)
HS predictor. I would argue that if we are considering ourselves a chance for a top 10 spot, we should be winning at least one of our last for games. Plus who wants to go into September losing four in a row!

Last post by tonyo -Today, the Supreme Court blocked the Trump Administration's attempts to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board until the case of her mortgage fraud had been finalised (as farcical as these charges are).
With her removed, Trump would effectively have full control over monetary policy, especially interest rate movements which would then become political rather than economy-based decisions, especially as he tries to regain ground before the mid-terms,
In response to the decision, Trump said on Truth Social they would continue to push for the removal of Cook, adding
“We will take appropriate action immediately to make sure that someone who has committed wrongdoing will not be making vital decisions concerning the Welfare of the United States of America!”
Pot, kettle, black!
The next few months leading up to November are going to be mind-boggling, as the Orange one tries desperately to avoid a wipeout. Get ready for some even more outrageous attempts to pervert democracy.

No.
1. Reid would cost more than the picks we have.
2. Throw Cripps in there instead, and the answer is yes. Swap of #9s
It was the Cripps/ Reid contest last week that triggered the question.
They went hard at each other but seemed to be enjoying the struggle when one got a win over the other.
Imagine them together for a couple of years.
Imagine Walker and Reid together for a decade!
Whats the old term from yesteryear......*unzips fly*

Master of the understatement G2C 😇
I suspect that there’s some manipulation/motivation coming from the more conservation faction.
Crazy stuff really, given the unpopularity of the Government … unless they think they can’t lose and nobbling the progressives will strengthen their influence 🤔

Last post by DJC -On at least five separate occasions from 2017 to this year, and including during meetings with German heads of state, Taco has stated that his father was born in Germany. In fact, Fred was born in New York and it is Taco's grandfather, Friedrich, who was born in Germany and emigrated to the USA. Each time Taco has made that claim about his father's birthplace, he has been corrected and even shown copies of his father's birth certificate. However, he continues to state that his father was born in Germany.
As a passionate family historian, I find it hard to fathom how someone can get a parent's birthplace wrong but I accept that not everyone has an interest in their family history. However, to repeatedly claim the wrong birthplace for a parent despite being corrected is not just a misunderstanding or mistake, it's yet another cognitive glitch by the bloke with the nuclear codes.
Ironically, Fred tried to hide his German ancestry and claimed to be Swedish.

Reid would be insane trade value and insane contract money so No....Id be taking Walker and then Kouta's boy who can be our Harley. FWIW the Cripps rumours to WC are still around....
So if we do see them together, it's probably more a chance in other colours.
Reid was a passionate Cats supporter as a kid and Id have them favourites to land him if he came back to Victoria based around what seems to be happening with Butters to the Dogs rumours.
