I was reading an item on the ABC site ( http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-09/alarming-link-between-lead-exposure-and-violent-crime/4619168 ) about lead pollution and its link with aggressive behavior, reading difficulties, low IQ and mental disorders. I know it is a very serious topic but I couldn’t help wondering if there are any lead smelters near Victoria Park. I have to read more to find out if it affects teeth.

    Did you accidently put this in the wrong thread? The Range Rover resignation thread is over yonder....

    There are no lead smelters anywhere near Victoria Park.The last suburb to have a lead smelter was in a place called ARDEER (near sunshine,vic)back in the 70's.,it was so bad that people living in surrounding houses

    had to abandon their homes,a total disaster.Golf Ball cores made prior to late 70's contain a toxic lead compound. Petrol no longer has lead in it.Pollution derived from cars i.e carbon monoxide,speed, marijuana,heroin

    etc, food additives,solvents,smoking,booze,genetics,biological toxins all contribute to mental disorders and are responsible for birth defects........... who cares. The government will pick up the tab.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
