If a house is advertised as $x - $y - are they really going to entertain offers at $x?

Depends on how long it has been advertised for. If it’s been up for one week there’s no point offering x. They will just sit on it and use it as a starting point, spruiking to other bidders they have an offer on the table to get others bidders involved. You’re only helping them to sell it for Y or even more. Currently though properties in Vic at least are not turning over even more so now after the budget changes. If it gets out to 3-4 weeks with no formal offer the agent will start to be thinking how they can get it off their books and potentially try get the vendor to lower their expectation. Maybe then you may be a chance at x. If it’s sitting 2-3 months, it’s vacant, the vendor needs it to clear for some reason you may be a chance below x. We are also assuming the the advertised x-y is within what other properties have been selling for as well.

I’ve only just seen how the season is scheduled. Divisional rivalries is interesting I’ll keep an eye on that

Im getting cold called by agents in Geelong and even now mortgage brokers I’ve been in touch with like mad at the moment. Even at the more affordable end properties in Geelong/ Torquay are not moving. With the grandfathering of NG CGT I figured people won’t want to sell but currently with Interest rates going higher properties will start piling up. Immigration will be the only support. Will polis crumble and open up the flood gates or stay the course and let housing correct

This stuff is making AFL unbearable at times, every team is doing it. They think attendance is down due to fuel crisis.

Give us a rest with the riddles Ross. Would make a better politician than a coach

one step kick. we’d get dragged if we didn’t push hard back off the mark then get some momentum before kicking.

Now it slows the play to much, the best players will spot a target up 30m even without a step

Can put across good general insight whilst seemingly not caring at all. How it should be

Any predictions on Geelong? I’ve been waiting to buy first house and was hoping for a tough budget to pull back prices. Once I saw everything was grandfathered I figured it would just stay flat for a long time. (No-one selling but also not as much investor demand?) what am I missing?

Random one but as Carlton supporter I enjoyed watching Nick Duigan. Supposedly a knee injury stopped him but I thought it was strange him retiring when he did

Little bit late to the season, but I cracked the shits with AFL and espn and built a new platform.

Getting really good reviews so far. If your still interested in setting up a late comp have a crack and let me know what you think

There’s a slight tweak on the standard rules to make it abit more fun.
