Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 10 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs Western Bulldogs at Marvel

We know that we have been competitive in most games this year.  A few have commented about what happens if we do run out this game and win it - with the implication that it was Voss' inability to change things around, only has one game plan.

What happens if we are blown away - is this a sign of Voss' ability to get the most out of a group, but Fraser can't?

So we rate the stand in coach in one game over a bloke who had 4 and half years???

You don't want older players.
You complain about gifting games to younger players and cite Murphy and Gibbs.

So basically is you want a team full of blokes that deserve a game, where gun kids and aging players don't apply.......and you think these blokes are on the list???

BZZZTTT  .............. wrong !!!

I think you need a proper business plan and recording system to be considered a trader?

Re Franking credits - I agree with the excess credits not being refunded as per the position that Shorten had, except it needs to include SMSFs and/or retirees, which Shortens position didn't. But yes, they'll be on the table at some point.






Yep, business plan, recording system , volume of trades and working capital. You have to show the distinction between running a business and investing for income. I know a couple of people who have tried day trading and one earned trader status but he ended up mentally wrecked from the whole process and didnt have a life due to the amount of work involved, having leveraged capital didnt help either and he gave it away.

It reminds me a bit of the Whitlam government when it came to power.
Whitlam and Lance Barnard the deputy PM divided up all the ministries and basically ran as a two-man government for a couple of weeks.
They were that keen to get things done.
Graham Wright is a bit like Scott Morrison  at the end of Covid where he was the Minister for everything....

Thry mentioned supply and demand....which is the key to all things economic.

In terms of housing though, its not the lack of housing, its the cost.
Its too high to buy a house....and/or land.
So if you drop the price so that people entering the market can afford something, investors who have some coin to play with look at buying a 2nd, 3rd, 46th property. So the price is increased and 1st home buyers miss out again.

You need to increase the 1st home buyers grant to a point where it is significant in helping people get into the market.
Maybe the paid pensions to ex prime ministers can fund it:
