Let me put this to you another way.

Is there a team that consistently has lost the games premier forwards like we have?

Fevola, betts, waite, curnow.  All in what, 17 years? 

Waite's not in the same hemisphere as the rest, but the point remains that somehow we lose high profile players who are genuine stars of the competition somehow.


Ive left Josh Kennedy out of it because we had to give up something to get Judd.

False perception!

The Bulldogs have stuck fat with Beveridge, but they’ve turned their list over as much as we have over the last few seasons.
Maybe, but I started wondering when they lost someone high profile to a competitor and im only coming in with a very much finished Luke dahlhaus. 

And Josh dunkley.

Without any knowledge of the WB, it would appear the environment with Bevo and Grant was extremely toxic. Since Grant has gone, it would appear they have been reinvigorated. Its amazing what happens when there is clean air for everyone.

Im watching the Doggies vs adelaide, and whilst im not sure what changes we can and should make, I dont understand how teams like the Doggies can keep their side together, yet every 8 years or so we end up with an exodus. 

Helps you dont chop and change coach all that much, but we change direction like a weather vane.

I know this is that common that its almost a non news story in Vic these days but to happen at 8AM and to be totally random is telling me the armed violence problem escalating.

Gangs fighting each other is one thing but to stab an innocent women walking at a shopping centre at 8AM is next level.

Police arrested him - will be back on the streets tomorrow im assuming.

 

Just saw the footage of the stabbing which was on an esculator. horrifying viewing.

News just confirmed the charged teen was out on bail.

We my get a bit of an indication as to how solid those polls showing strong support for One Nation are tomorrow when South Australia goes to the real poll.

I'm guessing a lot of that poll support will dissipate once in the ballot box and is more designed to send an "up yours" to the Liberal/ Nationals. Independents will fare well in some seats but I don't think we'll see many, if any, fall to One Nation...but we'll see.

The USA Presidential trail isn't exactly a conga line of truth, justice, integrity, morality and achievement is it?

In fact, apart from 45 and 47, it is.

Even Tricky Dickie was honest in comparison to Taco.
No it isnt you need to brush up on your history....Bill Clinton not exactly a moral citizen and in the same black book as Trump ( see Epstein),Whitewater, impeachments, dodgy pardons
George Bush...weapons of mass destruction disaster see Iraq....see Afghanistan
Barack OBama...lied about everything while he was in office.
Joe Biden...failed everywhere including destroying the economy which eventually gave Trump a free pass to victory and then pardoned his dodgy son Hunter.
Sure Trump has got all bases covered in terms of being corrupt, incompetent etc but the others were all fails and incompetent as well and it just shows that integrity isnt part of the job spec to be Pres of the USA.

Taco explaining war and prices:

“Prices are coming down very substantially, oil will be coming down. That's just a matter of war that happens very, you can almost predict it. I would say it went up a little bit less than we thought, it's going to come down more than anybody understands."

For accuracy’s sake, substitute “subsquishatly” for “substantially”.

Leaving aside the mispronunciation, what on earth does that mean?  That’s not the speech of a lucid, rational person capable of clear thinking or considered decision making.
