Im shocked we didnt get Sydney twice instead of the bulldogs.

Its also a shame we didnt get one of West Coast or North Twice.

I suppose Richmond is a better drawcard, would have been good to get the Bombers twice.  Hopefully Collingwood finally hit the skids.

Robert Heatley Stand / 2026 Fixture

It's out - AFL haven't done Michael Voss any favours, 5 interstate trips in the first 11 games.

Play WB, StK, Coll, Rich, Bris twice.

On the whole, I reckon that's a tough draw for a team that finished 11th.....

No, a leader took control over false pretences and then failed to deliver on their promises achieving their own goals instead....

Im shocked and appalled that anyone thought it would go any other way.

You're not alone there Thry but have you ever watched vox pops with MAGA supporters?  You wouldn't say that they're the sharpest knives in the drawer  ::)

News outlets are reporting on some Trump revelations from the Epstein files this morning.
White  house are calling it a Democrat hoax.
Those files may yet bring him undone...we'll wait and see.

He doesn't believe half the things he sprouts.
It's targeted at an audience who laps it up.

Those attitudes won't change with the demise of Trump they'll just go back underground until the next version of Trump gives them air.

Social media is a funny thing.
Attitudes and prejudices are often exposed and people express themselves on issues that may present them in a completely different light to the person you know.
Things of a political and social nature that they never would discuss in a personal conversation are suddenly given a platform.
My facebook friends now range from left of Karl Marx to the right of Attila the Hun....and there are a few surprises in there...especially how strong some of those feelings and prejudices are.

The message there is that a lot of attitudes, prejudices and approach to political and social issues is hidden.

I'm not sure that's right. Leaving aside the fact that Trump says a lot of contradictory things, his campaign promises were very much about draining the swamp, being the working man's President, being anti war etc. Not much on climate and environment, but people voted for him because he convinced them he was in their corner. And the fact that Democrats are beyond useless. His approval ratings are in the toilet because people have figured out that he is the opposite of what he claims.

People may care about those things, but for the majority most of those are not 'priority' issues.
They are not what determines their vote
The only survey that counts are the ones on polling days.
If they were 'determiners' then the parties who promote those ideals would be more successful.
They're not.
Neither here or in the states.

If the opposition to the Republicans is there, then next years mid terms should see a Democrat Tsunami that gives them control of both the house and the Senate.
At the moment that's not assured and it's looking like a draw
