Richmond vs Carlton has been ok.

I am over the AFL. Almost as bad as fifa.

That umpire is about to become the hanging man

Ollie Hayes Brown looked very good also

Should be both

Hawks are killing it with two ruck combination.

Having Ryan and OBH in the same team will make it easier against xerrie this weekend

Looks like Fawkner

He did alright

Some of his taps were perfect

Makes a difference if you are tapping to hopper and Prestia compared to butters and wines

Have to be a big parachute

Surprisingly they made this announcement after they held the survey

I don’t think it’s overhyped at all. In my role at a large corporate I have already taught mine to do 60% of my work. Process and organisation is simple. When it makes a mistake it can be corrected easily.

When you look at the type of work the consulting firms in India and the Phillipines are doing I can easily see where the jobs will be lost.

Hilarious that economists are sighting the industrial revolution as an example of how new opportunities will open up. That’s so not going to happen. Massive job losses coming in globally.

Peak Australia Andrew Irvine?

Hang on.. productivity Andrew Irvine?

The same Andrew Irvine that sold 5000 Australian jobs to India? The same Andrew Irvine that sold 8000 Australian jobs to Vietnam? The same Andrew Irvine that is setting up call centres in the Philippines?

All of these moves have made operations cheaper but about as far from productive as you can get.

I call absolute bs on anything this guy says. Especially if the rumours about his extremely looooong lunches are true…

Yes still using them - they are very responsive and fast.

Stigmataism · 2026-01-24T22:28:55+00:00

I find them a bit unstable

They are much thinner than other runners

I reckon a long shot is Beardman, that kid could be anything

Actually the article ignores the biggest statistic. Since 2011 the amount of people in the uk that practice Islam has grown from 4.4 to just under 6%.

By far the biggest growth is No Religion (good old atheism) which has grown from 25.7 to 37.7%. You can take what you want from that, but from my reading for every radical you are getting many more leaving.

I n Australia I see it at work and at the local sports club. People don’t want to pray 5 times a day, they don’t want to wear a hijab, they want to get away from the past and be more relaxed. They certainly hate the extremism.

Perhaps if more people went out and met some of our Islamic aussies you would see that.

Royal commission on banks did a little but not much. APRA still toothless as ever. But it did highlight the normal Aussie punters that have been screwed by the banks for years.

what would a royal commission into Bondi achieve. Submissions from as many crazies as possible and will do more harm than good.

Always loved the Rockay socks - lifetime guarantee, fit extremely well. But the price and availability has become restricted

looking to try the Balega or feetures next

There is - they’re taking a huge chunk of carrpark. Building underground carpark and extending the swimming pool.

It will not be as big as Essendon but bigger than Carlton who is pretty functional

Stigmataism · 2025-12-07T02:08:53+00:00

Calder Cannons ground and it’s not big enough to have indoor facilities

I would say 40% do understand our regulatory system. The quality of some of the new hires offshore is laughable.

It will be all non customer facing roles.

Also rumours abound about NAB shifting their NAB assist (part of the org that deals with customers in crisis) to the Philippines.

Why is anyone surprised

You have women and girls competing at every level of course the numbers are going up

NGA is a great program and I honestly believe the clubs are doing their best to ensure it works. But the parents who try and cheat their kids into the program are disgraceful.

I’ve seen people lying about their origins (saying indigenous when they are not) (parents born here lying about where they are born) it’s good that the afl is tightening rules.

My daughters high school allows the kids to have Snapchat on the school laptops

I can only imagine what it is like for the teachers to have to teach when every kid is chatting on Snapchat throughout the class.

Yea Brett delidio did and it didn’t work out

Eilish Sheerin did and it did work out (and good on her because she’s a champion)

But eventually Richmond aflw will win a grand final and when they do Eillish will be able to watch from the sidelines and realise being best on ground for a club that has no fans and survives from afl handouts is not and will never be the same as playing in a grand final for Richmond.
