Spot on. Selection on reputation again. I wonder how many of us vividly recall Vossy saying that selection is based on earning your spot!

@kruddler I think we are a bit too tall for my liking still, but Haynes has more athleticism than Okeefe and Derkson combined.  We only lost run on Boyd, and you could argue Hayward is like for like.

Its 2 glacial talls and 1 small running player for 2 talls that have better agility and speed, and 1 small that is likely not as quick as the one out, but has a lot more class and ability about him (just hasnt put it together yet).  To me it signals that we are swinging Lewis Young forward, and id be keeping an eye out for late changes.
Point is the same. More athletic talls or not, they are not smalls and they are certainly not capable of playing a midfield role that we took Hewett out of.
Yes, we can shuffle a little bit by adding Williams into the midfield more, but we need more help in the midfield, not less.

Hayward was out and then back in, so he doesn't 'add' anything since we dropped Hewett, he just missed a game.

One of my mates told me there was is a bet between Gorringe and Daicos on the outcome of this game.

Apparantly if we beat the pies, Daicos gets his head shaved.
If Pies beat us, Gorringe gets a 'collingwood tattoo'.

Not sure how true it is, but interesting outcome either way.
Yep saw that on socials, it wasnt a pies tatoo, it was a tatoo of Nicks choosing so he has some wiggle room if they make an agreement, but yeah.

I'm having to sell an investment property courtesy of years of interest rate rises and cost of living going through the roof, fuel prices etc.
Yes, that just sucks.

But the mum and dad investors are not the problem. It's the kids who have two dozen properties with three dozen mortgages that are screwing you over by driving up interest rates primarily due to inflated risk and demand.

Oddly millennials often blame the baby boomers, but again the person with an investment property as part of a self-managed superfund isn't really the problem because they exert almost no pressure on the market, they are in it for the long term.

At the moment my area is crazily inflated courtesy of the inner-city millennials who moved out during COVID. The bought high renovated and fecked off back to the city the moment restrictions were lifted leaving Toorak price tags on everything. They don't live around here anymore, very few of them rent or AirBnB the properties, so the whole region is effectively diminished for traders that sends small business broke. Then they roll up at the weekend and complain about the lack of the retail services that they helped break.
