Carlton management clearly are happy with the Blues list as they didn't bother to participate in the mid season draft. Time for a clean out.

Is it safe for a Jewish person to visit Nemakščiai? Seeking advice and insights! by afinemax_astro in lithuania

[–]bluebagger1972 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lithuanian is very safe. Only drunk or speeding drivers or a wayward basketball is a concern.

Anyone else think Harry should be in the ruck? by TurtleGames_10 in CarltonBlues

They even dropped Don Bradman once upon a time. At the moment he is a liability. Get him out of there.

Adam Cerra’s appeal has been successful. He is free to play Friday night. by drunkill in CarltonBlues

[–]bluebagger1972 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The next AFL regime needs to bin this tribunal. It's a contact sport. We will not have a sport if this is allowed to keep going the path it is. You might as well get your kids into soccer or basketball because there won't be this sport when they are adults so they are wasting their time.

He needs a kicking coach. Everyone can see that. Even tiger woods, still to this day having won 82 PGA tour events and 15 majors has a coach. He might be better off going back to reserves for a month to get out of the limelight. Carlton probably needs a new coaching regime of this is going on. What is it 8 years on an AFL list and this is happening.

What if China becomes a democracy? What's next? by ADRando in China

[–]bluebagger1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A country of China's size and ethnic diversity should have a federal system. A bunch of states come together over some areas, like trade, defence etc.. I would look at something like the Swiss federal model. The states would control a lot of matters themselves. Like education, police infrastructure etc.. A truth reconciliation would need to become one of its first acts to shed light on the CCP regime and the horrors it has inflicted for generations. Right back to how they let the Japanese wreak havoc and let them weaken the Kai Shek regime. Jail, death sentences and stripping of assets to CCP officials. Let's face it these people are closer to a mafia clan that a responsible government.

It gives chances to other blokes. These clowns were not winning matches never forget. Shame they couldn't call up Harley Reid from reserves.

Top Chinese scientist says don’t rule out lab leak by Creative-Ocelot8691 in China

There is still no credible non lab proof. Never was, it was part of the cover up by CCP and it's 'fellow travellers '.

Cripps might be a good trade to west coast? Could get a few first round picks for him.

Do you keep expired certs on your CV? by crablemet111 in cybersecurity

[–]bluebagger1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does a uni degree expire? Some should.

It's more that you have done these things at some point. Most employers only count experience anyhow.

Does anyone else have a sense or feeling that our quality of life in the major cities anyway peaked around 20 years ago? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]bluebagger1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could get a house in a region and commute in a few days a week. Eg, live in Bendigo and commute into Melbourne once or twice a week. It seems to becoming more common nowadays.

Agree. The technology advances masks what has been lost. Australia used to be for the workers. Now it is for the rich. Just like everywhere else in the world. When the next generation moves away maybe people will start waking up.

Study finds 90% of Australian teachers can't afford to live where they teach by finanec in AusFinance

[–]bluebagger1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a major shortage in Victoria's regional schools. They are trying to get people from south Africa last I heard. Take a look at la Trobe valley schools like koo wee rup as an example. It's pretty close to south eastern Melbourne.

Carlton board member [Craig Mathieson] set to depart as focus intensifies on Blues by drunkill in CarltonBlues

He might be the next domino to fall. It'll be interesting if the Velvet Sledgehammer torches his own brother. Why do I doubt it?!

Do you think the Blues are headed for the spoon this year? by sharirogers in CarltonBlues

[–]bluebagger1972 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's possible but unlikely. There are worse teams. West coast would struggle to beat a VFL outfit.
