In ancient Rome, the emporer built the colloseum with shows, festivals, foods & events, sometimes for weeks on end, to appease the restless people. The masses were happy & distracted, rather than talking about life & politics. Today, we have sports stadiums throughout the world, where people are...

Normally a fine... If Sicily then one week. Normally one week... If Sicily then two weeks. Harsh but true. But this harshness could backfire and set precedents.

You probably don't realise it but to many neutrals reading this thread, you come across as a biased chest puffing yet constantly whinging kind of bloke.

Felt it in Ascot Vale last night. The earthquake woke me up. My first ever earthquake experience.

When the match has been ultimately decided, the umps will then give afew charity free kicks in an attempt to even out the ledger somewhat.

I now actively look at free kick counts during a match, and surprise surprise, the team leading the free kicks is usually leading points scored as well. I don't buy into the belief that the first player to the ball usually wins the free kick. Does that mean the Bulldogs are always first to the...

Back North to win this week.

You forgot one "minor" consideration... the vast majority of neutrals don't see Brisbane as a threat and see them as the lesser of the evils, when voting.

Some teams get looked after more so than others. This happens in cycles, periods or even era, depending on afl administrators, their agenda's and/or club allegiances. It is a fact. I am not naming teams. The Afl is rorted to a degree and us fans are all sucked in and defend our clubs tooth and nail.

I agree. I just read through this thread and notice an abundance of Richmond supporters (not all I must say) displaying narcissistic behaviours.

I am uncomfortable venturing out of the Melbourne property market, as that is my comfort zone. I appreciate your suggestions. It seems, expanding portfolio with several smaller investment properties over owning one grand home is the preferred choice. Thank you all for feedback.

I appreciate your insights on life. I agree, that spending quality time with family and loved ones is even more important.

My apologies if I had caused any angst. This is a genuine dilemma of mine. I will be taking up a significant risk as the new loan repayments have not been felt yet. Hence, my choice must be the right one as I would be stuck with it. I do work long hours and usually 6 days a week. And I do most...

Hi guys, I have a property dilemma and not sure which direction is the best for me. Question: do you think it is better to own one $2.5m property to live in (suburb, location, land size, car space, 4 beds plus, double front period home, all tick the boxes) or own one $2m home to live in (does...

Thread has turned to garbage with one set of supporters just trolling now.

Yep, umpires that constantly blow the whistles have far too much control over match outcomes. Too many soft frees given. The soft free then opens up play, leads to another play up the field, and then goal. Then people forget that the soft free at the start eventuated to the brilliant goal...

We are all bloody sheeps following a rorted league. I sometimes hate myself for being so passionate about the Hawks. When the AFL and umpires don't want you to win, it will be almost impossible to beat the system unless the team is quality through and through, which we are not at the moment...

I am not so sure about some of the so called Hawthorn posters in here.

Don Scott is letting his personal grievances against other Hawthorn greats get the better of him. Don should have settled this behind closed doors, rather than publicly sling s**t on the club as a way of getting back at certain individuals. He has now undone all the good work he has previously...

I hope the AFL people and media journalist read this thread and realise the contempt (apart from Bulldogs supporters) brewing amongst us footy fans about the state of the game. The AFL will lose fans if this s**t continues.

Inconclusive video replay, so I don't know.

Richmond flog trying to hijack the thread about Geelong vs Hawthorn. Find your own rival. Start a bloody thread about Richmond instead.

The only Victorian club with a true home ground. Lop-sided ground as well, giving more advantage. All other Victorian clubs share their home ground. So Geelong get huge home ground advantage against other Victorian clubs (locking opposition supporters out of their small ground), plus they get...

yeah...nah

Well, you are lucky. Most companies I know are using COVID19 as an excuse to restructure, slash wages, cut overtime, get rid of people (and not rehire them once this is finish).

For Hawthorn I would say it's: Essendon > 80s GFs, brawls, Kevin Sheedy accusing Hawks of taking drugs pre 84 GF, line in the sand game, Lloyd taking out Sewell, Sam Mitchell mock self injecting to Bombers players. Pure hatred. Gap... Geelong > Finals clashes 89 (GF), 91, 00, 08 (GF), 11...

I love how Hawthorn and WCE owns Geelong in grand finals.

I really think that Melbourne needs a 30K boutique stadium for the smaller VIC clubs to host unappealing interstate teams. Would create a more true home ground feel, with more fierce and hostile atmosphere for the travellers. And Cardinia Park is not in Melbourne.
