Even if they are put there illegally in a lot of cases?

Thats not a bad deal??

Next thing youll tell me is that was all instituted by the superior race.
So I suppose in the model you propose that the police are the traders, the courts are the auctioneers and the government the new owner!

Well I can't ask if that is you Dezi, because he's dead!

I'm not proposing any model, just saying if you want free (extremely cheap labour) simply start a 'war on drugs' and that problem will be solved. Now if that 'war' involves a lot of police officers planting evidence, then they would simply be a casualty of war.

Its a deep rabbit hole if you really want to investigate, so watch your step

It's not...Kemp can go back, Derksen can come in, Young can go forward and Ruck.
Which is what I'd do...
or
Straight swap.
Reidy in, HOK out.

.
No 2nd ruck. Prefer a runner. No point having a slow ruck when you can have a runner in. Young or Harry can have those duties. Young forward though, yes.

Someone has got the message i've been spouting for years!  ;D

Lose this game and it will be Voss's last, he will not survive a loss like this.

If we lose, as expected, MV won't be sacked.    It's looking vey likely so far that until the bye round we may only have 1 or possibly 2 wins,  but I think it will be the manner of the coming losses and whether MV continues to have zero game plan and have further disconnect from the playing group which will determine if he stays or goes after the bye.   In other words,  he is on borrowed time.  The other factor imo is whether GW has the replacement ready to go - and I've no doubt  it's something he's working on right now.
Then it becomes a waste of a season if we wait until the bye. If we lose to North it should be his last. Then lets see what someone else can do with most of a full season ahead of them. Only  have to finish 10th.

There was some suggestion Haynes had done a hamstring in the VFL but he's not appearing on the injury list. He'd be a handy in with Dean missing.

Maybe he was just managed rather than actually has an injury.  Some equate going off early with injury, but given the short turnaround from last week to this week, its entirely possible they just put him on ICE after 3/4.

Youve said it, ive said it. Percentage is a better predictor of how well you are going rather than wins/losses and ladder position.

You can ignore it all you like and hope we can find clubs to beat up on to inflate our %, but ill give you the hot tip, i think we've already played 2 teams that are vying for the positions held by north and west coast last year.....and i think north and west coast have very much improved, especially relative to us.

I agree with you it's a better predictor of performance....but not after two or three rounds when big margins can skew the percentages.
I've had a bit of a look at some ladders and it actually doesn't take too long for things to settle down, probably around round 8-10, and the top team's percentages come back around the 120-130 mark.
What you still get there though is some wide variations, with teams with percentages under 100% in the top eight, and teams with 100+outside the 8.

By round 24 your top 8 will nearly always be over 100%

Does the government count as 'Australians'?
They are in charge of prisons.
Are people in prison free?
Are people in prison forced into labour with repercussions if they do not?

Prisoners are incarcerated under our judicial system and they're not owned by the government.  Prisoners are paid between $30 and $70 for a 30 hour week.  Advocates maintain that's "slave labour" but with their board, lodging, education and training costing around $3,000 a week, it's not a bad deal.

Even if they are put there illegally in a lot of cases?
