He's laughing all the way to the bank.How does Oliver keep his spot?
6 touches, 2 turnovers, 1 clearance, 1 tackle, 1 free against and 47m gained in over a half of football.
Or GeelongWe don't have a great record against port or the Hawks.
Mind you, we didn't have a great record against Melbourne either.....
They really aren’t Free from de mireThe Dees BF board being obsessed with us and not seeing the obvious mess festering in their own backyard until it’s
too late is pretty funny honestly. Karmic.
Deenasty…Not so much.
Loving all the rumours coming out of Melbourne. Was always weird when they made a thread on their board about us. Now it looks like they’re in trouble and I’m here for it
They have been saying on the news Petracca's family are not happy with the Dees.......Loving all the rumours coming out of Melbourne. Was always weird when they made a thread on their board about us. Now it looks like they’re in trouble and I’m here for it
Talk about burying the lead.
Won't somebody think of the Auskickers and Shitkickers of suburban clubs and not the legacy media and their reliance on the rivers of filthy lucre that gamblings ads bring in.
Will if he was, it worked. Good on you Hunter taking one for the team.Was Lachie Hunter a trojan horse that we wheeled up to Gate 2?
Sounds like what he and his family need is a club that puts the players well-being first. An empathetic coach and a nurturing environment with excellent facilities. A new journey.They have been saying on the news Petracca's family are not happy with the Dees.......

Non footy talk tangent.The lobby is in full swing. Like the tobacco industry, the asbestos industry, the fossil fuel industry and the liquor industry before them.
Major parties are in their pockets too. That's where a portion of the dirty money usually ends up. ("1 for you, 9 for us, 1 for you, 9 for us, 1 for you ...")

Gambling and alcohol lobby plough $2.165 million into political parties, up 40% from previous year
Alcohol and gambling companies and their lobby groups donated $2.165 million to Australia’s major political parties in 2021-22 representing a 40 per cent increase on the previous year, an analysis of disclosure returns published today by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) shows.fare.org.au
No wonder the major parties are dragging their feet over radical reforms to political donations. They make me sick. They make us all sick.
Yet many can see it in the USA with the sway the NRA has on political discourse but not here with the influence certain segments of society have.Non footy talk tangent.
Until this nation has a grown up conversation (something we're historically averse to) about actually funding political parties at the expense of the current system in place where it's an opaque pay for access. Then we will continue to be at the mercy of these campaigns who only ever present binary choices to a public that doesn't fully grasp the surface meaning of the anti-whatever lobby campaign that they are being bombarded with. Let alone the actual subtext of its actual intent. The easiest thing to get people behind in this country is a slick anti- (Mining tax. Reconciliation etc.) scare campaign. In this case it's the children or sporting clubs, but typically they're all about the jobs! of a tiny proportion but noisily influential segment of the workforce. It's why referendums more often than not fail.
In the meantime, foreign companies will continue to pull the wool over the eyes of and pillage the resources of the nation. All the while minimising or campaigning against the level of tax that they pay to the people who actually own those resources. But sure, a few jobs in the Kimberly or some such.
One only needs to look at the difference in scale of the sovereign wealth funds of two resource rich nations in Norway and Australia. To understand the level that politicians have allowed these multinational companies to plunder this country. Australia's future fund sits somewhere around $260 billion. Sounds great right? Norways Norge Bank fund sits at $1.6 trillion and generated a profit last year that nearly eclipsed that of this nations total fund. Now let it sink in that fund is for 5.6 million people and the differences become even starker.
A pox on all political houses.
...Sorry Australia.
My response to this stimulus is similar to the vexed issue of free speech.Non footy talk tangent.

Welcome TracThought Jordan Lewis’s comment on Trac (360) were the most telling. Basically said he needs to go and indicated many not happy with his behaviour in taking things public.
Trac requesting a trade cannot be ruled out and I’d probably wager it happens.
