If one is to believe the polls, we here in Victoria might finally rid ourselves of these corrupt and incompetent bunch of buffoons.

Carrolls list of election promises to fix the pot holes, cut hospital waiting times, tougher sentencing to youth offenders, more police at stations proves (not that we needed any more) what a lying 2 faced clown he and his inept party is.

They disputed all those very concerns time and time again and span them everytime they were questioned yet now miraculously they promise to fix it all as long as you vote them in of course.

This corrupt party has fooled the Victoria people for the last 12 years so i understand their planning in trying the same winning tactic.

It won't work and they will be smashed in this election.



I dont recall ever being someone who advocates for change for the sake of change, but if ever there were reasons for it here in Victoria is candidate numero uno. I am sick to death of these pollies taking the piss with their BS rhetoric. Tonight on the news, you had some Senior Police Official at a presser (with that fwit of a Lord Mayor standing behind her) stating categorically how safe Melbourne is. Enough FFS, the Melb CBD is farken Ghetto and thats during the day let along at night. The are violent, drug affected fwits on every second corner, I have worked in the heart of the City for the best part of 15 years and the last 2.5 to 3 years has seen a deterioration like never before. Tell the wife of the poor man who lost his life two nights ago that Melb is safe. I couldnt care less about the state of mind of the dirt bag who did, point is he should never have been on the streets. We can continue to dance around these issues and others like the state of our finances but enough is enough. And Ill tell you one thing, who ever comes in to replace these idiots will be under 100 fold the pressure because its one thing to talk the talk during an election campaign, can you walk the walk when youre handed the keys. We'll all be watching and listening and expecting action  from day one. The minute I start hearing "well the previous Government did this" and "the previous government did that", may as well take the keys off them and get someone else in. Now is the time for clear and decisive leadership in the State. I'll be writing to Miss Wilson and stating these very facts. No more pissing down our backs and telling us its raining.

Choose your poison.

No matter which way you go, you won't be pleased with the result.

Scare tactics which you used in the sacking Voss debate. I wont go further on that one..... 

Only the most staunch labour voter would use that argument and it won't work on election day as majority of voters can judge things without that level of bias. Victorians will cast their vote based on understanding the sad condition our state is now in with the current party governing for the last 12 years. Regardless of the fact we dont have a crystal ball to see how the Libs will fare you simply cannot reward the current inept party with another term.

Its funny you said that about the run and pick up as a NM player did it in the 4th quarter and it really stood out to me that her skillset was higher than most of our girls!

I get really frustrated watching them run towards the ball then hover Putting their bodies btw oppo and ball - its too slow and just then creates a pile on. Not impressed with that - maybe coaching? - at all.


Not confident against the Hawks, they were tough last time we played.
Spot on Micky.

It looks that way.  I just hope it's not a return to the corrupt and incompetent ways of the Baillieu-Napthine government.

As long as it's not Gina Rinehart's One Nation, we'll muddle along without too much change.

The hypocrisy in cricket circles surrounding allegations of ball tampering is astounding.

England had it's own brand of boiled lollies selected by the team because it delivered a superior shine. The business that made them grew off the back of the legend to the point it began exporting. If I recall they even had a TV Ad in the 60s or 70s extolling the use of their lollies!

Zinc cream and sunblock are the mainstay of pretty much any non-spin bowler.

Teams weak in pace or swing bowling would practise drills throwing the ball into the pitch from the outfield to accelerate the ageing and benefit the spinners.

One international team even practised the side arm throw to ensure the rough side would be facing down, which is ironic if you consider which team that was in regarding the allegations being made.

In the old days, back when soft drinks or beer came in bottles with press fit caps, some suburban clubrooms would have a deposit tin somewhere to collect the bottle caps as part of a "fundraiser!"

Suburban cricketers, where teams supply their own match balls for play, some would store new balls in zip locked in bags it the deep freezer.

One international team for a period of time had scourer pad material sewn into the official club whites, "For the purposes of hand cleaning!"

The modern lip balm industry would have collapsed without cricket, in the post war 60s and 70s it was domain of Brylcreem, fighter pilot one day, fast bowler the next!

It's not surprising though is it, there are really only two viable alternatives, the rest are just stains to add to existing stains. I suspect the young liberal basically has the victory to lose.

In my opinion the likes of PHON are even worse than what we already have, not a genuine alternative, because they exhibit the traits of both the left and the right in one condensed package, all the good and all the bad without any real substance. They want to cut costs but by targeting basics like health, they promise to look after little guy but laud freeing the billionaires from regulation, and they give us no detail about how they will actually deliver the promises other than another promise for more information later. Promises are not policies.
