Take it you never worked at the Just Group. I did 7 years there and it nearly destroyed me mentally and emotionally. Looking back I wish I wasn’t so naive and young. Should have sued their [censored] for workplace bullying. 

No. I did 6 months in the fashion/retail space and knew it wasn’t for me.

From all reports the culture of all those places is toxic. Unnecessarily cruel, and successful in spite of themselves.

    Can't believe Geelong are 4-0.  The club that doesn't have to do rebuilds.

    They haven’t really been tested.

    Adelaide in Adelaide, St Kilda and the Dogs off a 5-day break mightn’t be the hardest fixture so far but sure isn’t the easiest. 

    They, sadly, appear to be right back in contention.

    100%. I did 12 years in fashion and can confirm it is a toxic horrible environment full of narcissists and a-holes!

    Has made every other brand I’ve managed a walk in the park since. Nothing makes you grow thick skin like that industry!

    No Danger also...yep, they're well in contention if they stay fit.

    Can those old legs carry them through such a long season? 
     

    I pray to god it’s a no.

    The Cats will have a season like the many between 2011 and 2022. Scott is a fantastic coach and will move the chess pieces each round to get the needed wins. Their list management is also first class. But their stars are just too old. 

    They’ll be 5-0 after next week but could easily be 6-4 or 5-5 after round 10. 

    Scott will get them 13-15 wins this year but they’ll be shown up in finals. He’s buying time to reinvigorate the team with some free agency pick ups to have another crack.
     

    Here’s to hoping they can’t get any before Cameron, Dangerfield, and Hawkins retire.

    Too greedy to ask for a Suns win today?

    They received a lot of hype after their first 2 games, but in reality they were against mediocre opponents at home and they probably would’ve won them under Dew regardless.

    Big test for them today after a failure at Ballarat.

    The feral Pies supporters have gathered in Adelaide. I’m off to the gallery - 100% certain none of them will be there.

    Quite right. They used to start seasons well under Dew as well.

    I rate them too but not that highly. The big MCG final??? We had that game by miles and coughed it up. We lost that more than them winning it. 

    I agree it was bitterly disappointing that we blew that final and it leaves a more bitter taste than the Collingwood final who were the better team on the night aside from the last quarter.

    However, Carlton lead for much of the second and third quarters so it’s not as if they came from the clouds to win the game, and they handled the final two minutes far better than we did. Will unfortunately hold them in good stead for future close finals in front of a packed MCG.

    Suns will do what they always do. Tease and then lose.

    I reckon giants by 25 points.

    I just watched the Freo dissent decision and I’d like to know what dissent is regarded as now?

     Because if dissent is questioning the umpires decision, that happens in every single quarter of every match I’ve seen this year multiple times.

    Players on the mark constantly dispute decisions… why no dissent? If the umpire calls a mark and the opposition player on the mark says ‘X player touched it’ or ‘that ball was out of bounds’’ for example, that is dissent. Why was Freo called for it when it gets overlooked constantly in all of these other times?

    Bobo, presumably you are a fan of Radiohead. I assume you have a critical lens when you look at the world. I think you know the answer to your question 😊

    On a side note - this morning, I was reading about the death of 'music videos' and the art the goes into making them. I'd suggest that the music videos for the OK Computer singles were some of the best of all time as a combination.

    Reckon the attendance at this game is bigger than the average gate either of these teams get for their home games.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
