Instead of being better ran, I think it's high time for Geelong to become an also ran - they've been successful for far too long.
Gee… Long, indeed!

Have they? Sure they've made finals lots of times, even a GF, but they haven't won a flag in over a decade. They are everything Koch considers successful (off of largess from being in marginal seats state and federal), but they've won no more than us since Hinkley arrived.

Now I'd like to see them crash to bottom four and be complete shit, but that's not likely to happen due to their unique home ground advantage. They aren't successful though anymore in the way Port USED to measure success - Premierships.

I just want to improve our win/loss record against them. I'm not sure what the current numbers are, but it ain't pretty - we've only beaten them 3 (?) times since 2007, which is bloody frustrating!!! Maybe a new coach can do something to address it.

I would blame the liberals of Port Adelaide’s district. They are supposed to find a way of adapting the party’s agenda to address their constituents’ concerns in a way they can understand.

Their task is to get votes. If they aren’t getting those, the issue is not the electorate. It’s them.

But it’s a bad agenda, GP!

It doesn’t matter. Their task remains the same. Run against (some of) the party agenda, if they must.

The same must be said of Labour on Liberal safe seats. Electoral politics is a result-based industry. If you are losing, you are wrong.

Of course, one may be wrong while winning. However, that’s another matter. The point here is that if you are losing, you are definitely wrong.

Ultimately, Australia’s political culture of egregious porkbarrelling in the absence of campaigning on any deeply passionate hot-button issues as seen in other democracies is to blame.

Up until the recent commitment of the outgoing state and federal Liberal government to fund our AFLW-compliant upgrades (2021/22), Port had waited the longest of all AFL clubs to receive government funding for facilities.

Outside of the club itself, the incoming Liberal government (2018) actually cancelled a rail spur that had already been approved to reinvigorate the Port and feed into businesses that had specifically moved in to enjoy it (ie Pirate Life), on the grounds that it was too expensive.

Now, keep in mind the man with the purse strings is one of the most high-profile Port-hating toffs in the history of the state, who actively mocked the China venture via RT’s and memes on Twitter, despite his own government endorsing and investing in the venture for its trade, education and tourism links. Laughable.

Just another ridiculous hurdle in the club’s path that most of our rivals don’t have to deal with.
 
I expect YouTube (ie Google) make more than this from hosting friendlyjordies videos..


Google ordered to pay Australian politician over defamatory YouTube videos​

SYDNEY (Reuters) -An Australian court on Monday ordered Google to pay a former lawmaker A$715,000 ($515,000), saying its refusal to remove a YouTuber's "relentless, racist, vilificatory, abusive and defamatory" videos drove him out of politics.

The Federal Court found the Alphabet Inc company intentionally made money by hosting two videos on its YouTube website attacking the then-deputy premier of New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, that have been viewed nearly 800,000 times since being posted in 2020.

The ruling revives the question of how much culpability technology firms have for defamation conveyed by users on their websites in Australia, one of few Western nations where online platforms have the same legal responsibility as publishers.

The court heard that content creator Jordan Shanks uploaded videos in which he repeatedly brands lawmaker John Barilaro "corrupt" without citing credible evidence, and calls him names attacking his Italian heritage which the judge, Steve Rares, said amounted to "nothing less than hate speech".

By continuing to publish the content, Rares said Google breached its own policies aimed at protecting public figures from being unfairly targeted, and "drove Mr Barilaro prematurely from his chosen service in public life and traumatised him significantly."

Barilaro quit politics a year after Shanks posted the videos, and "Google cannot escape its liability for the substantial damage that Mr Shanks' campaign caused," Rares said.

Shanks, who has 625,000 YouTube subscribers and 346,000 followers on Meta Platforms Inc's Facebook, was a co-defendant until a settlement with Barilaro last year which involved the YouTuber editing the videos and paying the former politician A$100,000.

But Shanks "needed YouTube to disseminate his poison (and) Google was willing to join Mr Shanks in doing so to earn revenue as part of its business model," the judge said.

Jesus Christ, how much did bruz pay that judge? The wording of his judgment is absolutely dripping with bias.

Bruz doesn't need to bribe the judge when our Defo laws skew heavily towards the "defamed". Couple that with Parliamentary Privilege and people in John's class are pretty much untouchable in this country.

10/10 recommend the Bruz series of vids to everyone.
 
The only credible videos he has are his MAFS rundowns and Jordan Peterson impersonations.
It'd be remiss to think he didn't at least have some effect on the recent fed election.

And his and others work unsettling nsw parliament by bringing forward enough skeletons to cause them to fundamentally implode.

He shit them off so much so bruz mobilised a terrorist hit squad.

How credible people perceive him is in the eye of the beholder though, and I think he's been influential as **** for younger Australians.

Lawmakers make law that protect themselves. Shocking, isn’t it?

Seriously, if it’s how you describe, I’m only surprised that the Judiciary may have fallen for it. I would expect judges trimming such a statute down.
 
Saw this on a tipping website but it's a members only story that I can't read. Surely old Wrinkles is already in the media 'big time' (lol), so is it Chadley joining the bandwagon - at least he can leak inside info without Kane's interpretation...

Eddy Cornes would be my bet.

Remember when Peter Carey's blind son Matthew gave his weekly footy tips on KG's radio show in the 80s?

IIRC he was quite astute too.

Correct:


He’s Mr Everywhere and there is no sign of Kane Cornes’ domination of the AFL media landscape easing up anytime soon.

In fact, he’s now enlisted his family to keep it going.

Cornes’ 15-year-old son Eddy wants to follow in his father’s footsteps and he certainly made an impressive start with a comprehensive NBA Finals preview on the SEN website.

Eddy is a mad Golden State Warriors fan, so it was certainly a passion project and one which was very well received.

Football isn’t on Eddy’s agenda. The aspiring writer wants to head to the US to study journalism.

lol, because if you're going to study journalism the USA is certainly the place to do it. Is he going to attend Trump University?

Why even bother studying journalism when he's just going to get a job in the industry through his connections like 80% of the people in the general media and 100% of the people in the football media.

Maybe he mistakenly believes that his father and grandfather are actually journalists and not shock jocks.

But I agree, why would he bother when he can just stay in #cringelaide and get on the Cornes gravy train.
