You can’t accuse a club of tanking when they’ve already traded out nearly all their future picks.

Watch North soundly defeat Adelaide this week. It’s probably as likely as WCE soundly defeating Freo last week.

Yeah, this. I once went to a Super Netball game in an indoor stadium. There were maybe 2000 people. It was the loudest noise I’ve ever heard at any sporting event, ever, by far. I could feel my eardrums resonating in my head, it was a wierd sensation.

You’re arguing cross purposes. You are going straight to ‘an eye for an eye’. Some others are engaging in a discussion around the question ‘What could the criminal justice system be doing to help avoid incidents like this happening in the first place?’. It’s a very reasonable discussion to...

Sure, how else does our society evolve? Or even better, throw your own hat into the ring and if you can convince enough people that you’re onto something then you can work to change the criminal justice system yourself. Forget the fine. Getting taken through the criminal courts, having...

Sure, it’s hard to empathise with somebody who bashes a random on a night out for kicks … … but you think a first time offender who has just been through the criminal legal system, and who has been convicted and now has a criminal record would now be laughing?

… and deterence.

Harsh. You do know what “devil’s advocate” means? Dunno if I agree / disagree with you because I don’t know the facts of the case beyond the brief snippets we get in the media (which have been known to sensationalise things) - but on the face of it, it doesn’t look good. But in general: Do...

It’s not blind faith. We have a choice on how we want these things to roll every three years at the ballot box. If you want to live in a community that spends more taxpayer dollars on building more prisons to lock more people up for longer periods of time (because that’s effectively what...

EFA

Be that as it may … … footage of someone having a welfare check done on them, and them being in a state where they are admitted to hospital has no place on a news service in a civilised society.

That footage says more about Channel 7 than it does Ricky Nixon.

If there’s a chance that naming them would prejudice justice (eg: “no chance my client would get a fair trial”) then best they remain unnamed.

You have to admit that it is unprecedented for a player to be bluing with a trainer out in public on the training track and for it to be blown up as some newsworthy thing

He’s gunna be really disappointed when he discovers “Calvin Clein” is some cheap knockoff brand and the modelling gig is a scam.

True, but they only sacked two of those. Since 2010: Scott - sacked Shaw - mutual departure for mental health reasons Noble - sacked Adams - caretaker Clarkson - taking leave of absence due to matters unrelated to North Ratten - caretaker Versus: Ratten - Sacked Malthouse - Sacked Barker -...

What not to do?

Everybody is accountable. Beveridge is accountable to Chris Grant Chris Grant is accountable to Ameet Bains Ameet is accountable to Kylie Watson-Wheeler and the board. Kylie and the board are accountable to you and the Western Bulldogs members.

Maybe Ross Lyon’s boss (Lethlean) reviews it for continuous improvement in much the same way as Lyon reviews gameday vision?

I’ve defined “consent” going by what she said the next day, not by what I think she might have thought at the start of the night. Have I got that wrong? Besides, imagine the fun and exciting world we would be living in if nobody ever changed their mind on anything during a night out..

Context is important … DeGoey: Got in a bar fight, broke his hand, got caught lying to the club about it and made his President look like an idiot, trashed a rental property, got busted for a wide range of driving offences (DUI, riding motorbike without a helmet, riding a motorbike whilst...

The etymology of “Gee, what shall we call this beach with palm trees on it?” Is a tad different to “This joint reminds me of Miami”

Harsh. Anybody who reckons that they live in the best place in the world has simply adapted to their environment. They’ve adapted themselves so that their environment provides them all the things they need and want: love, joy, a sense of purpose, the means to sustain themselves and their loved...

Woolies sells a 12 pack of Panadol for $3.30. Apart from taxes, why would the manufacture, distribution and all that manual labour of legal drugs be any more than that?

What’s the scandal? My club has had plenty of players in relationships, two of them even had a baby together (Treloar and Ravillion). It’s what people do.

One of Tom’s workmates was outed. Who needs to be responsible for that? Obviously other folks were involved (the person who released the WhatsApp group contents) but it’s Tom who has the duty of care responsibility to a workplace colleague. If he hadn’t taken his actions then this wouldn’t...

(In my own experience …) the incidence of this stuff varies wildly. Legit, there are some organisations where this stuff just would not happen. Never. Not even close. In those organisations there is a strong culture of respect and care for fellow colleagues irrespective of any...

Maybe. But people have a duty of care to their coworkers … … and all the more so when their coworker is in the public eye.

McClure / Caro / The Age have issued an apology and a retraction for what they said about the Leading Teams folks. There was no ruling regarding their reporting of AFC’s role in all of it. But I guess the error of judgement in the reporting was the way they went after Leading Teams. They...
