Opinion Commentary & Media VII

[Harris 10]

I haven't bought a newspaper in years. Laughed when I saw that a slim copy of the ad-filled Sunday Age now costs $4.50.

It’s crazy, papers went from being paid for by advertising to now having to cover the costs with cover price.

Reckon next AFL TV rights deal will take a severe hit if this gets passed.

The fall out on so many businesses and people will be enormous.

no one wants to condone it but its pretty simplistic to just say barry cable is an outcast. IF this wasnt done by him then they would be saying what a legend he is. The point is as far as a football player and in regard to the fc he is still a legend. You can seperate the 2 if you want and clubs should. As i said, the law is there to punish people, and people shouldnt thrown rocks especially if they dwell in glass houses. The problem is i gaurantee you there will be others like this that dont get the same treatment because there are other issues involved and when you hear crickets like that you can only shake your head.

Something about Port Adelaide and moral compasses.

The same thing was said when cigarette advertising was banned. Some other vice will fill the void. Maybe Tender Touch, or Big Footy.

possibly, but we are all paying for problem gambling through increased insurance form theft, policing, welfare pressure to support families with problem gamblers, and the list goes on, iam convinced the net benefit will be better with decreased gambling.

they might lose revenue but the next industry will come along, may be life insurance, car manufacturers, food companies, or tractors or whatever.

 

[Marstermind]

A couple of pretty sad old codgers

They are. But this gets wheeled out every Ashes series and they're both happy to play along. While I believe that they genuinely don't like each other, it's a bit of a beat up.

 

[Marstermind]

Same. Coldest I’ve ever been.

Freeway was closed on the way home too. Had to go through Ballarat to get home. We won. It was worth it.

If government was aware of the dangers that Big Footy presents to users and addicts, not to mention the wider community, they would shut it down for sure.

It’s ****ing crack that I’m ashamed to be addicted to.

Cable got me thinking about 1983, and I wanted to ask does anyone know why we don't have our McClelland trophies displayed in our trophy cabinet?

You only held it for 12 months with your name engraved on it and then handed it on to next years winner didn't you ?

I miss those days where you see clip after clip of North games, and we are in front.

I always wondered why the team fell of the perch in that final against *. We were convinced there was something wrong. One blinding quarter and three disgusting efforts.

Port have theirs displayed, like the little wooden blocks, maybe the AFL era version is different, but we should have at least '98

Was before my time but it is pretty bizarre, we had beaten both * and Hawthorn during the regular season, best guess is the Fitzroy mauling suggests we couldn't handle when the oppo team got a serious run on.

It was as if the team laid down. They played one quarter to show they could do it.

Who knows? Maybe I'm just still in shock from the mauling.

I was at the * game and that goal and game
