You have to wonder how some people would cope if they flicked the Television (or whatever) off and had to think for themselves. Jung was right. People don't have ideas. Ideas have people! ? I 'flicked the television off' years ago. To be unaware that news exists and how the media operate would be v...

Rightly or wrongly depending upon individual opinion, my view on Unionism in Australia is very left wing... Fair days work for a fair days pay, that is all any employer or employee should expect and respect. So clarify this for me...you're strongly anti-Left, but you describe the concept of a "...

Last week was a bad team effort rather than few to blame. The pressure is on Ratts to get the team up and firing as a unit this week, and the more experienced players need to lead the way. If we have another bad loss then expect heads to roll on the selection table. The only expectation I personall...

It's alright mate. I can think for myself. To be fair, most of Germany thought they could think for themselves too. Fascinating WW2 doco on Netflix at the moment. Unbelievable how history repeats. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." ...

I personnally not only don't care where we finish this season, I also don't think it is realistic that we win more than 5 or 6 games.

Tigers and Skunks drew a game..so on that alone we are in trouble... Ratten needs to show how he can adapt . He was outcoached last week Disagree. He needs to continue to teach the players the way he wants them to play. It'll mean short term pain, but it's the only way they're going to gel s. Team....

Ah no you didn't Barry, you didn't just ask a question, you insinuated, you generalized, you displayed extremism and you allowed your socialist alliance views to inadvertently creep to the surface and in doing so made a dick of yourself. When you came up short and looking foolish you retorted to th...

I'm interested how this piece of s*** goes from low life scum to an African American male mother Teresa overnight because he was killed by Police. I've heard that same view expressed on Fox News. However aside from a tiny section of peoole in another country - I haven't actually seen anything of th...

It would be simply idiotic to flinch and make major changes 3 games in to working on a new system.

6 new players, new coach, new assistant coaches, new game plan.

And we're going to swing the changes after 3 games?? Please.

I didn't intend to be patronising.

Fair days work for a fair days pay, that is all any employer or employee should expect and respect. Why is it that I believe in the above as do my network of business contacts, but the Unions who are supposed to represent the mistreated don't give a hairy rats ringer? ? So all unions operate like t...

no argument about unions, i've been and left three. all crooked, rather useless, and self-serving. my point was toward individuals, once we're in a group any altruistic reasonableness seems to defer to group power. Ditto. I used to a union delegate at one point in time. Harassed my fellow workers t...

In a ruck contest, 2 ruckmen are leaping upwards against each other and are trying to get their hands to the ball - so their momentum and gaze is focussed in one direction - and that is upwards - and at their feet there's a tight-knit cluster of players going this way and that. So there's very litt...

Careful! You're sounding like a looney leftie there!

Well I'm going to stock up on Coon cheese tomorrow as their factory will probably be torched by the weekend. Yum. Melted Coon cheese on toast. My favorite.

Let’s face it, before the low life scum was murdered, the name could’ve been changed at many junctures in our history over the past 100 years. I see no reason for the sudden change now. It's not sudden. It's been a slow burn for decades. People realising their mistakes and addressing them is not ne...

The only point I'd argue is you don't need to veer too far left to find an abundance of your eloquently described group.

That's just complete ignorance and close mindedness.

Unfortunately, that ill-informed mentality also exists on both sides.

Secret Kiel has a real Teflon whiff about it.

I remember when we used to eat a fruit called a 'Chinese Gooseberry'. Somehow it was misappropriated and renamed into a 'Kiwi Fruit'. Maybe in the current climate we should be asking for it to be called by its original name again? It is actually a Chinese Gooseberry still. Just a great marketing fe...

In one hand you have PC apologists lobbying companies and social media demanding change and on the other old boomers like me who point it out with a shake of the head but little more. This is what's wrong with the world. The 'Right' think that the 'Left' is made up of "PC apologists lobbying c...

I suppose the humble by highly enjoyable chico roll is in trouble too. :cry: About time the silent majority started hitting back at these cancel culture fwits. It's a Chiko Roll. But really, who cares if these things change their name? My life moved on relatively unchanged when Fags changed their n...

Billings coughed up the footy on several occasions and had zero fight in him.

Agree with that. That was certainly the sense I got whilst watching him.

Was disappointing.

The season is a disaster and it is only going to get worse. I've gotta say, it's really descended into a debacle. It's become very clear that it's about nothing more than squeezing in as many games as possible so people get paid. It's not about a 'competition'. The AFL need to be very careful about...
