The latest election shenanigans:

Neo-nazis wearing crude Hasidic Jew costumes turned up at pre-polling station in Kew and handed out pamphlets with a manipulated Liberal Party logo and anti-Semitic messages.  The pamphlets were also widely distributed to homes across Caulfield.  Election billboards for both Labor and Liberal candidates were defaced with red Stars of David.  The pamphlets are authorised by Joel Davis, a prominent neo-nazi who incited violence against Jewish people from the steps of Victoria’s Parliament House and who is out on bail in South Australia for displaying a Nazi symbol. 

While it is unlikely that the pamphlets and pre-polling station antics will have any bearing on the election, State Liberal MP David Southwick is spot on with his statement; “Let me be crystal clear: this is not politics. This is hate. And it has no place in our community.”

In other news, on Tuesday, witnesses reported a man in a Collingwood jumper lobbing an estimated half-dozen eggs at the One Nation candidate and his supporters as they handed out how-to-vote cards at the Wills pre-polling station in Brunswick.  Sitting Labor member for Wills, Peter Khalil, has had his posters defaced with "Zio Dog", "Fully Cooked" and other slogans.  Activists are unhappy with Khalil for what they say is his lack of action on climate change and the conflict in Gaza.  Khalil could lose his seat to the Greens and, in this case, the vandalism and pre-polling station tensions could impact the outcome.

Finally, activists have gone to a lot of trouble to vandalise a Clive Palmer billboard in Brunswick.  It now reads "Vote 0 Rump Riot”, with cartoon buttocks pasted over Palmer’s face, and "nonsense solutions to reduce the living."

All of these incidents are corroborated by several sources and backed up by photographs and video.

I think he has been in the bench for some time now, Voss has been alternating btw Coaches box and bench.

An interesting observation from the bench cam footage.

Charlie had moved himself into defence late in the last quarter.  Carroll was on the bench and Greaves instructed him to go back on, tell Charlie to go back to the forward line, and ensure that all seven defenders were in defence. 

While Charlie’s ability to go back and pluck a mark in defence has been game saving, our priority was to have the seven defenders working together as a unit and as they have been drilled.

It’s interesting that Aaron Greaves is the bench coach now. 

it was interesting one of the talking heads (i think buckley) said he thought Gov struggled early in the year as they were playing him on smalls (as an attempt to free him up to be a 3rd man up).  now that he is playing on talls/mediums he is playing much better

First marking contest, the spoiler should be aiming directly for that finger.....

Not much love for Elijah Hollands in these votes......
