A little snippet from the Commonwealth games fiasco. The article is about the infamous temporary swimming pool but it has this gem...

The original plan was for the swimming to be held at an existing aquatic centre at Kardinia Park. This is why, on March 1, 2022, Dame Louise Martin and Katie Sadleir from the Commonwealth Games Federation, Ben Houston and Craig Phillips from Commonwealth Games Australia and Visit Victoria chief Brendan McClements – the person who had pitched Victoria’s bid three months earlier – travelled to Geelong with senior government bureaucrats to tour that site.

This is the plan the City of Greater Geelong council supported. At the time, Games planners had a new gymnastics venue pencilled in next to the pool. This would have established Kardinia Park as a central Games precinct and, after the event, given the neighbouring Geelong Football Club access to a high-roofed, indoor training centre for use on wet days.

Hate Jeelong and can't understand why they are so pampered and looked after with tax payer money.

Essendon are putrid. Their midfield is full of small bodies, they get monstered. Stringer is fat. Won’t make finals.

Stringer and Darcy as ruck, the fattest duo in the guts.

But isn't Brad Scott the greatest coach since Chris Scott? This isn't making sense.

Channel 7 already protecting the twin, they are a WIP and Essendon fans should feel hopeful 🤢🤢

teloar has a lot of time left on a big money contract, thanks to the filth's largess

and no thank you to him at the dees

ordinary kick and zero defensive awareness

JUH? He would be unstoppable alongside Kozzy and JVR.

What about JUH and JVR together in our fwd line? 🤔🤤

There's only one day in that month that actually matters. We've won 13 but sadly only 1 in the last 57 years.

Just 3 behind behind the so called big two, Carlton and Essendon

Are we top 8 around the league? In terms of memberships.

They don't even realise there is a game this week let alone who they will be playing!

Good! Let them forfeit the game, we'll gladly take the 4 points plus rest our players 👍🏻

I think you can comment on individual episodes on Spotify but I can't see any review system and I don't think Google has one either but I have an iPhone so I'm unfamiliar with that platform.

There is definitely a review system on Spotify but only for the podcast not for individual episodes.

Btw, your current review score is 4.9 stars out of 5 👍🏻

I don't think Freo have a lot of excuses personally, I think they really just need to look in the mirror.

They lost some key veterans and placed their hopes in a 21 year old kid who, in my opinion, doesn't deserve the kind of money they are paying (at least not yet, maybe in 3 or 4 more years).

Makes me happy to see all the failures/mistakes from Peter Bell

We get to talk about top picks AND top 4 finals! What bat [censored] crazy world is this?

It's almost like we are Jeelong! 😄

In terms of amazing games I’ve seen live in no particular order:

Eagles v Demons (Round 22) in 2018

Queen’s Birthday v Pies in 2017 

QF v Carlton in 2000

EF v Saints in 2006

This game was certainly up there with the King’s Birthday game this season👍🏻

What about v Cats EF 2018.

v Carlton last season? (Kozzys goal).

What do you gentlemen think about the echo chamber that is the AFL Media?

Daicos this, Daicos that, Collingwood Premiers already... Very tiring and obnoxious.

By the way, David King already said that it is Collingwood's premiership to lose, so I think he has already jinxed them. 😂

With respect, try telling that to the families and friends of ppl who couldn’t take it and did the unthinkable. Besides, a thick skin can’t just be magicked up outta nowhere. It’s innate so there’ll always be “thin-skinned” folks. 

I meant to say that you can't control what others think or say about oneself. So really all you can do is to work on the things you can control. 

We can't never please everyone.

Grand old flag is far and away the best theme song in the league. Obviously. Tigerland not bad and I don’t mind the Crows song. other than those I don’t care much for the rest of them.

Carlton must be the worst...

You’re right about that, THBT. Their cheer squad members are certainly proud and loyal. Their banner crew is full of super nice people. I chat in the race with opposition crews, almost all of whom are friendly. The Brisbane crew comprises diehard Fitzroy fans and/or the children of Fitzroy fans. There’s definitely a different vibe from the GCS and GWS ppl. 

Who's the least nice cheer squad? 😜

Ignoring the socials is indeed a way to escape the disgusting bile and hatred. However, it’s difficult when the vile comments come from your own “fans.” For example (and on a much smaller scale), on DL I have a bitter, nasty poster on ignore yet I am still subjected to his vitriol whenever someone quotes him.

There’s no way to fully avoid the pathetic losers online. 

Just need thick skin WCW, remember that haters gonna hate.

The sickening love for that side from the media makes me want to vomit. They have been bog ordinary this year. Let’s see how they go against Brisbane, Port and Pies. 

Three greatests loves of the media:

Jeelong

Collingwood

Daicos

Next week.will be a huge game Brisbane v Geelong.

Hard to choose what result I prefer.

WHY WON’T GEELONG JUST DIE?!

The AFL won't let that happen, for reasons...

So the brother gifts the game to his brother, total capitulation by the Bombers.

Karma’s a big ol’ biatch, huh chump?!

You’re next, McCarthy. 

The Brisbane Lions are very dislikeable 🤢

I was so annoyed by how they were grabbing Trac at every stoppage 😠

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that we could snatch second on percentage by year's end

But that requires us winning all the remaining games right? Maybe lose one at the most.

Just now, leave it to deever said:

That's being generous. Will finish 14th after this round and will be lucky to win three more for the year. Up until about three weeks ago had a great run with the least injuries.

I mean that they are still far off becoming a serious premiership contender. I believe people in WA drank their own bathwater and really thought they were a chance, just get one unicorn!
