No. Stop being crazy is my solution. The public for whatever reason likes the welfare, likes the spending and likes the regulations. These are not traditional republican policies. The public hates the crazy stuff more though.

incredible own goal. They say VP picks don’t matter but I’m not so sure this time.

The match awareness point is a good one. Only Smith batted responsibly. Inglis may have scarred a few but with unnecessary risks. There was a time when the openers could have been trusted to try reaching the total themselves.

Chandrasinghe should not be a realistic option. The purpose of batting is to actually score.

There have been shitloads of ODI openers who are not fit to open in test cricket. It is not a like for like.

5. Don’t acknowledge when they eventual make a reasonable point.

This was an alarming and terrible day for domestic 50 over cricket. It has been coming for a while though.

Having Uber eats multiple times a week is a sign of lack of life skills, or you work very long hours in the office.

It’s funny because one or both of the Scotts during their Brisbane playing days picked up a job at Bank of QLD. Some things change, some things stay the same.

Sheehan was in Will Schofield’s podcast last week. They got on to YCBS and the Winmar edition. Mike said it was a mistake to ever do the podcast and that he didn’t like Don. Unclear if that was always the case or just now. Also said Sam was a loose cannon. Schofield asked point blank “Have you...

You’re not contradicting my point.

The point if we’re drafting someone like that, we need to put the proper guardrails around. Just assuming he would act like Sheezel for example is really naive.

A pick in the 60s would actually be low risk-high reward. It is all well and good to say pick 1 should be this and that, but JHF never had those qualities. That is on us for drafting him.

Of course. Everyone is a product of their upbringing. We either failed to do our due diligence recruiting him, failed in our player welfare, or both. I don’t lay all the blame on an 18 year old, even if he carried on like a delinquent at stages.

If true then that is my point about JHF. You can’t just bring an immature 18 year old from interstate then leave him to his own devices. There are plenty of 18 year olds who still behave like they’re 12. Being the number 1 pick doesn’t change that.

Was that really happening?

Such a moronic response. You realise several things can be true at once? Character and maturity are important factors, and it is why clubs need good welfare and support networks.

Don’t get your hopes up.

You never know, Khawaja and Renshaw have a huge chance today with a long time to bay and 300 to get. Could be when it turns around.

Who did Harvey inspire to follow him? It is all wells d good for the fans to say he is a leader. Is/was he actually a leader where the rubber hits the road?

What do you mean if I spin it that way? I do partly blame our leadership.

Does it seem that way? It is a huge ask for an 18 year to join a cellar dweller interstate as the next big thing. Compare this to Harley Reid and the infrastructure WC have around him. Or Cam Rayner at Brisbane. JHF was simply not equipped and not assisted with us the same way.

Maybe, but it smoothed over in that environment. I do respect him for what he is/was - one of our and the AFL’s greats. Not just going to say he was a good leader though.

Was Boomer a good leader though? He set a good example with his professionalism but did the guys walk taller because of him? The only obvious leader when JHF was with us was Cunnington, who we never made captain. JHF may have been a juvenile but look who he was surrounded by. At Port he has...

Was it? Still begs questions of the players.

How many awful coaches in a row though, before we realise it isn’t the coaches? Noble has been a good operator in every role except our head coach. He didn’t have a long enough run at it to prove or disprove his ability. Remember, we almost won his very last game. Raises heaps of questions...

He is very much a child. Even now. It was a mistake to recruit him from interstate.

The whole "one of us would go, then it ended up being both of us" is raised very flippantly. Not sure if it is serious. Go to the last 10 minutes for the North content. I found the discussion about how he negotiated the Dangerfield trade at Adelaide to be extraordinary. Going to ask the AFL to...

It is accessible through Spotify and all the normal podcast apps. You don't need to subscribe to the Herald Sun or Australian.

Ignore it. Just an example of filling media space in a very slow trade period.
