Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 0 2026 Pre-game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney in Sydney
Last post by kruddler -
If Frankie Evans is out, Flynn Young or Talor Byrne may come in to consideration.   Given the number of new players having to gel together tomorrow night, perhaps Flynn Young gets the nod. Based on his AFL experience and 4 goal haul in seconds last week.

4 goals in the 2nds to Flynn
or
3 goals in the 1sts to Byrne

I'd almost give the nod to Byrne

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Iran, I ran so far away - flock of seagulls

@Gointocarlton‍ me too, I have several Iranian colleagues, some Catholic who fled and others Muslim who also fled. They still have family back there living in tyranny.

Fanatics have no allies, if you aren't for them you are against them, and you can become against them at any moment, and the tyranny in Iran is truly fanatical. One colleague I had a few years back, who has now moved OS, even had to take steps to avoid being pursued by foreign agents.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Shawny’s concerns about Victorian and Australian Governments

The hard reality here is that Wilson has kyboshed the possibility of a One Nation deal, it's not surprising.

It's really the hard right demanding anarchy as a solution to opacity, which as I have already stated is ironic given where the money indirectly comes from for One Nation, which seems to be conveniently ignored by many that shout the loudest.

For example, how do they rationalise rallying against the sale of the Victorian port to China state owned enterprise, while still being One Nation boosters? One Nation a party that is largely funded by primary industry which earns it's cash from the sale of resources to China.

One Nation is completely foreign to the Liberal cause, the antithesis of Liberal politics. Hansen sprouts Socialist policies, closer to Communism than Liberal. Socialism and Fascism can be two sides of the same coin.

Very sad indeed, a great commentator.

For me even sadder, because Cometti was the natural antidote against the BTs!

Only the good die young!

I have several Iranian work colleagues whom I find to be among the most beautiful humans that I have ever met, for them I am truly devastated. Whilst checking in with them offering my support, they have conveyed to me that whilst extremely painful and scary for them and their families back home, they feel like this pain is worth going through to hopefully change the lives of Iranians  for ever. I dont know what else to say other than to add "courageous" to how I describe them.
