Well said Sidey

domin8tors · Sep 6, 2022

So thought i'd compare our 2018 GF team compared to the team that rolled out against Geel. points of note
1) it's based on form for that year
2) players that are in both teams eg pendles, maynard, howe etc it's assumed that as a group some may have dropped off a little but some may have improved a little. eg) howe probably dropped off a little but Maynard is better

so roughly positional changes are we better ? My thoughts are that our 2022 just pips the 2018 team. But we had better strike power in 2018 up forward.

Langdon vs Moore = I'd say even. Langdon was probably our MVP finals player
Varcoe vs Quoaynor = I'd say even, Quaynor more footy etc, but varcoe tough as nails and his experience was invaluable
Goldsack vs Murphy = I can't fault goldsack but his body was gone so Murphy wins
Treloar vs N Daicos = is this even a contest
Phillips vs J Daicos = Phillips ran harder into defense but Josh smarts and cleaner disposal get this
Stephenson vs Ginnivan = Stephenson had a super year,
Thomas vs McCreery = Thomas getsit because he could rotate into the midfield and 2018 geez did he even miss a goal lol
Grundy vs - Camereon = can't go past All Aus Grundy
Sier vs Lipinski = Lipinski consistent week in week out
Aish vs Noble = both role players but Noble is having a ripper back half of the year and just pips aish
Mayne vs Elliott = I can't pick a winner here.
Greenwood vs Ash = Greenwood played such a selfless role and get's the points.

Collingwood 2018

We make the prelim.
You're a chef in a kitchen in Sydney - you're still a mad Collingwood supporter.
A bunch of Swans players enter the restaurant the day before the game.
What do you put in the meals they order to - give Collingwood the best advantage?

Oh goodie, the broadcast rights have been extended. More garbage from the cesspot of sports coverage that is the Seven network.

Oh boy wowee, I'm off to neck myself.

Ah yes. Suzie nobbled the All Blacks in the RWC final, allegedly.

what is it about these multinational corporations advertising in areas that have nothing to do with their products. The Amazon ones are bad enough. I'd like to tell that little girl taking her old fraile granny to the footy that she could phone geelong and ask them about their women's matches. Who knows, the club might have given them a couple of free tickets if they knew an old ex player was coming down to watch the game. As for the immigrants wanting to know where to buy a footy, go down to the nearest shopping mall and find a sports store. It's not that hard. Who needs Google to find out about this crap. If Jeff paid his taxes maybe gov'ts could provide more facilities to the community but we know Jeff hates to pay taxes. He prefers to make commercials that take credit for things that have nothing to do with Google.

Now we have Colgate. Colgate and hearing? Excuse me????? Hearing .....Colgate? Maybe the overpaid advertising exec can see the connection but this is like me taking credit for world peace because I read about it on the net last week.

And dont even mention the lies. NAB and more than money...lol...geez.

message to corporations who like to attach themselves to the sport of AFL. Pay your taxes. Clean up after yourself and dont pollute the environment. Treat people fairly and respectfully. Charge a fair price for your product. Yeh I know. Not very sexy.....

She is hardly a little girl. She must be at least 18, old enough to be trusted with the care of her befuddled grandma on public transport and at the game and wealthy enough to purchase new scarves and stuff off the web. The experience for Grandma extracts from her the long forgotten line, not just by her but every contemporary football fan, 'chewy on your boot', the calling out of which should have made the teenage girl cringe, just as I did when my elderly father asked me rather too loudly at the cricket, 'What's a w***er?'.

As for NAB, when I went to deposit my $250 Electricity gift from the state government, a google search alerted me to the fact that they don't have a branch now within about 6 kms of me, and I live in St Kilda. Didn't realise banking a cheque could become such a chore. If NAB are more than money they are sure hiding the extras they provide from me.

The sad fact is that this advertising must work. It must soften Google's image as a tax dodger and payer of low wages. It must soften NAB's image resulting from several banking inquiries when they cheated people for money that was due to them. To me, NAB is NAB because of the way it does it's banking, not because it puts some of the profits from it's customers to pay for a few footy programs. All these corporations are channneling money through various tax free jurisdictions in order to pay less corporate tax. They are cheating the australian taxpayer. To slap them on the back for putting in a few million for rising star awards or junior footy is a joke.

And while I am thinking about it. The Western Australian taxpayer and the community in general paid $2,000,000,000 dollars to build the stadium in Perth. A multinational company gives a couple of million for naming rights. Tell me the justice in that. They should be ashamed to do it, just as the premier should have been ashamed to accept it.

Feel free to explain how NAB uses "tax free jurisdictions"? That they pay dividends that are 100% franked might be a clue you are posting crap.

As for naming rights, once again, you are full of it. Optus paid $50m for 10 years' worth of naming rights. The equal most money paid for any stadium in Australia. Against the $1.6bn cost to build, that is 3.125% of the build cost. Against an asset that will be around for decades. Doesn't seem too bad.

well if it's so good value, then why are corporations building these stadiums? Why do they wait until the money has been spent and they are looking to hang their names on it?

as for posting crap, I always know i'm on the right track when I attract your attention

LOL. I don't even have a NAB app on my ancient iphone 6. I will be forced to update soon as even taking a video runs my battery out, but I confine all my banking to my laptop. Never felt the need to spread financial transactions to a phone. Sideswipe's probably correct in thinking I am a bit of a klutz on a phone. I am always jealous of the young folk pounding away on the phone keyboard with 2 thumbs while I regularly hit the wrong letter with just one thumb.

The naming rights are just one asset of the stadium. You know there would be a bigger cost to the public purse if the naming rights weren't monetized?

i go down the post office to deposit cash or cheques....but if you look at the NAB site, they have a branch in the cayman islands you can send the cheque to.

It's interesting that the MCG hasn't gone down this route even after billions of dollars of investment... although multinationals would know that no one would ever refer to the MCG as Disneyworld stadium.... or Gina Rinehart oval.... or whatever.

As for a biggest cost to my purse, I am already paying $2000 for the stadium, I think an extra $50 for the naming rights is small change. I'd like to call it "Honest Banking in WA Stadium". Of course, that might scare off half of west perth.

I would prefer "Business Wants Gov't to do all the Heavy Lifting" Stadium..... to celebrate the interests of the wide range of Aust and overseas business that want government to do all the big spending, provide all the research and to wear all the risk....

or we could have "Pay Me Off Later" stadium for all the politicians making decisions and then moving into the private sector.... that's a personal favourite

lol...well i suppose I am. You might already realise that I've never been able to "network" for my own advantage....to fleece people and have them say thank you to me. To make money on the basis of the people i know. All the usual trappings of our system of commerce. Surely you will allow me my moment to regret a misspent youth of studying and working. I blame myself and my parents for not telling me how the world operates. So it's not jealousy at my stage in life because I have enough money, it's more a question of pride really.

So maybe your life went another way. Mummy and Daddy gave you a leg in. Or you sucked yourself up to a higher level using your own skills - and well done on that. Maybe you play golf with the right people and they whisper to you before the stock market opens. If that's the case, well done wipey. But it doesnt mean that I'm going to be convinced by some button pressing marketing people that google and NAB are anything other than what they really are.

Still waiting on an explanation for how nab uses tax free jurisdictions.
