Seriously? Maybe a thread for the unemployed, underemployed, and those whom for whatever reason have no job and no adequate means to support themselves or their family. It includes folks on meagre pensions including young students with massive debts who live in a society where their governments are mean, penny pinching and do not value education .....unless you pay.  I have respect for most teachers but my interest are in those who are suffering silently because they are not valued in this society. Teachers are part of the entitled classes who happily receive paid leave and conditions that most in society do not receive.

Wow Hemmers, you're in an interesting headspace if you're going to go on a rage spiral anytime a conversation starts about 'hey, I do a thing, does anyone else do this thing'?

    You would fit right in teaching with that socialist attitude.

    Staggering how some people can criticize teachers and their supposed perks, yet have never taught in a school! Because we have all been to school we all have an opinion. It's the equivalent of me criticizing an electrician, for example, despite the fact I know little about the job and do not have the skills. Let's try to leave our comments to the football.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
