Drop won't kick in until tanks are re-filled. All petrol currently in the sevo tanks has full excise paid.
People whinge about how much excise there is and whine when the cut isn't big enough.
Next if some economists are right in that cutting excise will increase inflation, hence interest rates - what's the reaction?
I was going to say the same thing as EB.
I think EBs point is that the judgement before a ball was kicked in anger was premature expectations.
After 3 games last year our % was 83.3%
After 3 games this year our % is 72.9%......and we were luckily enough to hold on and win one of them.
Based on form.....i'm taking last year.
I know its hard to compare, but youre putting words in people's mouths again. Your contention was we'd go backwards where most were saying we wont miss Charlie. Thing is, are we missing Charlie? How about tdk? Or jsos?
Thing is this is what the discussion was.
Not whether or not we'd magically improve. How far back do we slide? Id wager with Charlie in, we might have done a bit better, but tdk was going anyway, and jsos is a hard one to quantify as he only averaged 12 games a season. What if he had missed these ones?
The Melbourne loss might not be as bad as we think, theyve at least got the bones of a premiership side there and some bonafide stars. We have a vanilla team, and we play vanilla footy.
I'd call judgement after three rounds in... premature 'expectations'.
Both for the team and individuals.
We have a long way to go.
We started last year 0-4
We're already ahead of that.
There's a bit to play out on, and maybe off the field.

Just saw some vision of some maniac/s screaming at the players after the game! I hope they are identified and relieved of their memberships. Utterly disgusting.
Labor have backtracked after saying they wouldn't cut the fuel excise last week and have bowed to public pressure and have cut it in half which I think is a sensible move short term.

I think last season was worse, to I think we have shown enough to suggest we can get ourselves into a position to win. Figure out how to arrest the 2nd half mind games and we'll be fine.
We started bad last season but I think we look worse this season. To me we are at rock bottom and back to the dark old days..
Round 3 and lots of changes, might take a bit of time for the aspect to click also.
