It's kinda like going to the footy and watching the umpires. Does anyone really know what time it is?

He's in the white room with black curtains.

PayTV in Australia is an unmitigated disaster. Foxtel would be lucky to be worth AUD2B. Between Murdoch and Telstra, at least AUD100B has been flushed down the toilet over 27 odd years. Technically, it's a catastrophic. Former republics of the USSR have significantly superior technology and services than good ol' Australia. What an embarrassment that the AFL sell their soul to this pimple on the backside of the entertainment industry.

@Cranky Franky . . . how you do'in Bro? Raining where you are?

World of Sport around 1978 Jack Dyer: Welcome young son. Your name’s Andrew Moir isn’t it?

Moir: They recruited me from Mentone Grammer Jack Jack Dyer: (giggle) that’s pretty swank (under his breath . . . typical Melbourne) – now son what’s your height? Mior: six foot Jack Jack Dyer: now you're 11 and a half stone, how much do you weigh Son? Moir: errrr . . . 11 and a half stone Jack.

Ended up at Pork Barrel Park :-)

19 to say the lightbulb is cooked and shouldn't be turned on next week 14 to say they trust JT to determine if the lightbulb has the correct amount of lumens to perform long term 1 to say that absolutely no reference will be tolerated to former sparkies that uninstalled AND unplugged previous lightbulbs 3 to say that the lighbulbs are so dim at Entrecote that it's impossible to determine whom did what to who 976 to say the lights came on at 16:19, 25 September 2021.

take that onesie off immediately @WalkingCivilWar.

Poor Jess, she's now got four kids under the one roof, George, Louis, Max and Clayton.

I read the thread title and thought is was the new Francis Ford Coppola movie.

Thanks Picket 'Noah' Fence. Brilliant as usual. Tommy Sparrow is a fave of mine. So happy he's ready to launch. That'll shove a sock in a few mouths.

And here's me thinking I was your only one @WalkingCivilWar. #Heartbroken Xmas

Can we place Jess in witness protection? Or as they used to say in the Sporting Globe Racing Guide, "keep safe".

can someone post the pickie here please?

[censored]. Max should be calling for a head count.

I've heard Plugger Mac and BBB are training the house down and slotting them from the hotdog stand. As usual, the HS is making it up as they go. Not me however.

Both the boys had careers wrecked by injury. Tough business VFL/AFL. It wasn't for lack of talent or commitment that they played so few games. A real shame. I think John went on and kicked a truck load of goals in SA. I can't remember who we were playing, but Rino Richards and the Fidges were running around next to Tempo at one stage. I remember thinking with this talent we would get on a role. Alas.

I'd much rather my first experience of Steven May be in a coach ride to Lorne than on the training track thank you very much.

He's using a toddlers keyboard.

Makes sense it's behind locked doors. Cos the rest of the comp has know idea about our ineptitude inside F50.

Hi everyone, I'm Seb and I wear my pants pulled up to my armpits with my stripped short sleeved shirt tucked tightly into my daks. Everyone on 'Land: Hi Seb.

How I imagine the podcast . . . What probably happens . . .

People got absolutely no comprehension on how the loss of Pedo and Juice have effected our club.

Irritable bowel syndrome maybe?

Great point @pitmaster. It's one of the great myths that "we are leaving debt to our children to pay." Firstly, in a crisis such as a war or a pandemic, government creates money that is used to stimulate the economy. In practical terms, this usually means creating additional resources (in the case of a war) or limiting the amount of people at risk of unemployment in the case of a pandemic. The facts are these: Australia’s debt was 120 percent of GDP at the end of the Second World War, yet the economy grew by an average of 4.2 percent in the 1950s and 5.3 percent in the 1960s[1]. Tax receipts rose as a result, which had the effect of reducing the debt. Secondly, even allowing for the government paying interest on its debt, these payments create additional wealth by flowing back through to the economy. So as the government pays interest, on the other side of the ledger, citizens collect income. This income flows back through the economy as financial activity and indeed, results in higher tax revenues via transaction taxes such as the GST and stamp duties for instance. Indeed, the holders of government debt tend to be more wealthy individuals who are going to be subject to higher levels of taxation on the income received from the dividends on the government bonds. This tax is then reinvested by the government in public infrastructure that is passed on to future generations. Classic examples of this inter-generational wealth building is the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Snowy Mountain Hyro-electric scheme and the NBN. These are physical assets that leave future generations better off than the ones that proceeded them. Thirdly, depending on how the inputs are used in the calculation, between 30 and 40 percent of all money created by the Government is returned to it in taxes[2]. So the debt is not the same number as the money created or borrowed. Put simply, for every dollar the government creates, it only has to fund (create and borrow) 60 to 70 percent of the money in reality. Keeping people employed is the best way to ensure that future generations are not burdened with unsustainable welfare payments to a generation of unemployed, or unemployable, citizens.
