1 thing at a time it will hep in the long run just have to be on the ball about it and the pratts will not be doing so well and in the future the next judd might come to mfc not because of those $ that the underbelly's are offering outside of the salary oh sorry carlsalary cap.

Unfortunatley its not that easy. Visy supply 55% of all packaged goods in Australia, that includes cardboard, plastics and paper.

Heres a link to Visy's website which has a picture of just some of the things Visy produce.

For anyone who doesn't know or understand about the whole Richard Pratt/Visy thing, here are a couple of links to articles you should read.

As a very brief summary, Visy and the other rival packageing company made an agreement to up the prices of there products.

As there is no other big company who does packaging, product produces small and large were forced to pay jacked up prices on all their packaging.

This resulted in the produces having to up their prices to the public. Costing you and me, the everyday Australian more money for your milk/coke/just about anything. This made Visy an estimated $700 million.

How the person in question escaped hard time is beyond me. If I was to defraud a bank of 700mil I'm sure it would be a case of don't forget your tooth brush. 2 sets of rules. Same seems to be true at AFL house.

When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
