The supporters have been leaderless without King Joffa

Unfortunately for them back in 2022 Joffa had to go and plead guilty to one charge of sexually abusing a child under the age of...
Instead of a congregation of Saints flooding back Ross the Boss could have a pack of Dogs!! I like the fast slingshot style but the flood is plain UGLY.
It's not easy winning a Premiership. Geelong's 2022 Premiership was a long time coming. Watching Collingwood's 2023 expose, I realise just how hard some clubs push. Spraypainting a hammer a gold colour. Getting players to paint the rungs on a stepladder. Head coach McCrae wearing a camouflage...
How much of the ground was a standing terrace back then? I remember standing in the Gary Ablett Terrace in the 1990's - that was cool but it was only a tiny pizza slice of the whole KP pizza pie!
Geelong's opening game of the 2011 season - you know, the one where Collingwood was last defending a Premiership?
Geelong 6.12 (48)
St Kilda 6.7 (47)

That game was UGLY.
Take heart Catters - the opener against St Kilda in 2011 was just about the ugliest I can remember!!!
Geelong 6.12 (48)
St Kilda 6.7 (47)

A Consequences be damned
B We're a spineless nation and always have been foreign policy wise. Our one 'venture' outside of the British/U.S dependency was East Timor. And with that action we sullied the actions of our peacekeepers by trying to grift a new nation of their resources.

Just looking at Lucas Heights NSW, the area where Australia's only publicly known nuclear reactor is located - and incidentally not much more than a stone's throw from Engadine and the fast food restaurant where there may or...
We most certainly are aligned with the United States. Nothing in the following denies alignment;

So you're worried about consequence, yeah? I guess that's the point of difference between us in that you're staying cautious and staying on familiar ground while I think taking a chance will pay future dividends as far as our independence is concerned.
This isn't to say being cautious is 100%...
I thought Mitch had a good few handy games at Essendon? I seem to remember him being at least 20 goals a year territory for you lot when he got on the park!

I just don't agree with your pessimistic appraisal of our chances. I've never thought we should throw our lot in with another power. I've always been about non-alignment. It is possible, to be non-aligned. It is realistic. It is achievable and well within this lifetime.
We can agree to disagree...
We can weather any storm if we grit our teeth and get the work done that we need to. You're unconvinced? Fair enough, some are born optimists, others mired in pessimism. I don't quite think that yours is the realistic view, though there are shades of it throughout your argument.
Xi wants to...
I will allow that they could handle the fifth-place trophy thing a bit better. Those two on the podium with a hand each on the trophy would have been better.
You know, this was starting to make me think, starting to make me consider the 'other side'. But then I read this;
and I start to ponder something. You know, really wonder about it. I know she morally came first in that heat in the hearts of her anti-trans admirers but I ask myself a question...
Have you heard of a medical condition called 'precocious puberty' and the treatment available to delay it? If children must stand by to let nature take its course without the benefit of medical science to alter their bodies to alleviate the symptoms then where does this end?
What is the...
We don't need to snub anyone so much as quietly withdraw. There should be no ill will on our part, no denunciations and we wouldn't be 'hating' on Uncle Sam here. Ours would be an open diplomacy, but if theirs would be a shadowed malice we should show that to the world.
I disagree. I think holding off on blockers until we know more might be warranted, but to dismiss all thought of transgender treatment of kids and teens? I think that might do way more harm than good.
Maybe psychological approaches could be better, especially in cases arrived at through trauma...
Undoubtedly. And when the genuine chat between parent and child leads to the parent looking for ways to help that child's pain? Are you saying that transgenderism in its entirety is a nonsense?
