    How many wins do you expect (hope) from your team in the first 4 games

    The first month is critical. Like they say in golf on Saturday of a major you don't win it then, but your certainly can lose it. History shows if you lose 3 of your first 4 you're done. What do you expect from your team in those first 4 weeks?

    Bazball 2024

    Widely mocked here but in the Old Dart, do they still see themselves as the saviours of Test Cricket? Where to for Bazball after the Ashes loss?

    Deeefence

    It's embarrassing the pronunciation of the word defence in last few years. Are the sheep that enamoured in American sports that they feel it necessary to change the way the word has been pronounced here for a 100 years. Will the ADF be soon referred to as the Australian Deeefence Force or does...

    Gillons victory lap

    Never known a handover to take so long. They took forever to find a replacement and now he has to cool his heels while Gill enjoys the long, self indulgent send off

    Heavy training loads to prepare for finals

    I remember the Crows talking up their sports science fitness program under Neil Craig 20 or so years ago where heavy training and tapering off for finals was considered elite end sports management. More recently Pies losses last 2 weeks have been put down (in part) to the heavy training loads...

    Gawn and Grundy - a failure?

    More than halfway through the season and its fair to say the Gawn and Grundy deal has been underwhelming. Can we conclude it a failure?

    The PwC Tax Scandal

    This has ramifications not only in the immediate term for those facing possible criminal charges at PwC, but also for governments and how they are totally reliant on consultancies for what historically had been a Public Service capability. On a lighter note I found this on PwCs website amusing...

    Which team was the most disappointing round1?

    I'd suggest Freo To lose to a St Kilda ripped apart by injuries was pretty poor. Reinforced doubts about their ability to challenge this year

    Brian Cook- Carlton to win at least one flag next 5 years

    https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/02/09/weve-taken-the-next-step-blues-boss-makes-flag-declaration-in-five-year-plan/ Seems a realistic goal

    Players you thought were going to be elite but never got there

    For my club (going back a few years) I thought Andrew Wills was going to be a superstar. In the end was more a journeyman. Clint Bizzell was another I thought had all the tools but didn't really deliver

    Tom Hawkins 700 goals

    Australian Election betting thread

    Outright result has Coalition $2.80 Labor $1.45 Other $67 Most think election will be called March for a May date so a few things may yet happen but $1.45 ALP looks tidy And "Other" at $67 needs 2 more zeroes at $6700 The dumbest of dumb money playing that

    Spring reflections - best performances and those on the up

    Verry Elegants MC win is probably the standout. Her 2400m record is elite with the two big Cups alongside her Oaks and BMW wins However while the depth may have been questionable, Incentivise win in the CC was electric and my highlight of the spring. Rounding out 3rd is the sprint beast...

    West Coast Eagles 2021

    Covid created challenges 2020 but weren't Robinson Crusoe there going out finals without a whimper. On paper at least have the overall depth and balance cross the park to challenge 2021. Genuine player for the flag?

    Who is the best side out of the 8 in 2020 and the one most likely to be playing finals next year? According to ladder position Melbourne as the 9th placed side is best but in such a weird and disrupted year there may be an argument for other teams

    My job requires me going into the office cbd which i did today It's a shock to see the shadow of the city those of us who live here know. But it's still alive and will bounce back Hang in there fellow Melbourne people. Better times ahead
