I got my full body scan today and results 95 out of 100 with very small amount of viserol fat. Body fat really low and muscle density really high.

Lifting is well worth it.

 

[King Huskii]

Giddy up!

Was a lot more people there than I thought there would be.

Sorry to intrude but I thought some supporters would like to know this about your sponsor Woodside and that you don't need them .

Fifty-year extension for one of Australia’s biggest CO2 emitters likely after WA ditches emissions-reduction rules

Critics say extending life of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas processing plant on Burrup Peninsula could result in billions of tonnes of climate pollution

If you were sorry to intrude why did you? Probably best to keep the politics to your own team's threads (if that's their thing).

I'm sure if your organise a replacement paying as much or more in contribution to the club directly and broadly on community programs that the Dockers will move over. Even if it's just a collective awareness group funded by a go fund me. FFC shouldn't be doing all the heavy lifting for your activism, bring a solution with you and watch how quickly they will take you up on it - but asking them to wear the burden and the cost for you is a bit rich.

To me it looks like Freo should lock in that sponsorship on more money and longer given the security in place for Woodside.

The only thing I am sad about is that we didn't sign a 50 year sponsorship extension.

Almost spat my water out.. haha

It matter little, given the US election has put an end to any chance of curbing the effect of climate change. Pity it's only your kids that'll be around then. They won't have a chance to thank us.

Edit P.s.

 

[anchor man]

Perth fans treated with contempt with this ODI selection.

How true.A slap in the face for cricket in WA.
If they were playing a test they would have been here in all their glory.
CA are a very strange beast.
I read where the Indians have the WACA ground to prepare on for the opening test.
Why would the Australian selector, or CA, not have organised the use of the WACA for the Aussie team.The Aussies are apparently preparing in Sydney. Maybe that has something to do with the make up of the team!!!
Makes you wonder how CA came up with the idea of playing the first test at Perth Stadium.

I'm all for Woodside sportswashing their image and Freo get to financially benefit as a result.

My bug bear with resourcing companies is that FIFO simply should not be a thing, the state government should legislate that they provide free or subsidised housing in nearby communities (actual housing not shizenhoozen dongas for days) and actually grow the regions... and people can be with their families.

Even if a house came rent free, very few people would take up the offer. They tried mining towns in ye olde days and it didn't work.

Bloody hippy

when people stop buying Gas and then Woodside will move on

Greenies can lead the charge and refuse to use electricity provided by Gas.
Dont use any byproducts of industries using gas eg Plastic and Food

So grow your own, dont drive. dont eat processed food, dont use the internet at all
Dont wear clothing, dont write pamphlets.

When the demand for Hydrocarbons from consumers is removed the polluting will be removed.

Until then lets use their profits to support our team,

 

[mattis117]

There’s an elephant in the room of this discussion which surprisingly gets left out most of the time. That being, there’s no telling whether reducing hydrocarbon production is the best method for dealing with climate change.

The arc of a circle is the fastest way to travel between A and B under gravitational acceleration. Greater initial accerleration covers the distance faster than constant acceleration as per a constant decline.

I'm writing on my phone so apologies if not following that physics example. Point is, it may be that accelerating our development is the best option. Beurocratic restriction is unlikely to lead to the outcomes that the far left think it will.

It's nonsensical to me that a company that provides an essential product to society is so ostracised by some.

We're committed to our path now. Pulling back is not the answer. This is akin to flinching or knee jerking to a threat.

You can't prove that stopping hydrocarbon production is the right call. To do so would require technology well beyond our current capability.

 

[Dump Truck]

I consider myself rather left-leaning/socially progressive but I'd support ISIS being our sponsors if it brought us closer to a flag.

Imagine criticising a product that we as society all use. Boycott them even though I use gas. I also use electricity that burns coal. I also have a car that uses petrol and I eat meat. But boycott them because it makes me feel good to criticise big company.

I'm left leaning too yet I'd support a uranium company if they could pump enough cash in to fit us out with the best gear for injury rehabilitation.

Aristotle Pickett you can disagree all you want but with zero explanation it makes you sound like a massive hypocrite

I would also consider whacking a nice little state visa tax for miners flying in from Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane.
If you work in WA. You should probably spend your dollars in WA and make this place your own.

If you are in oil and gas, it's more common that you would live overseas than in Perth.
Hit those suckers with a hefty fee for the privilege of working here.

Some of the best times I ever had were living in those mining towns like Dampier, Karratha and Wickham.

Sadly my brain, liver and bank account would all beg to differ

I'm heading back to QLD next year. Better have the yacht ready.

There is a politics thread for this ffs. This thread is purely for me to talk about cricket and occasionally people toss other banalities in.
