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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
