It's hard to enjoy playing footy under Ross Lyon.

Pretty sure he is contracted for next season as well. He got 4 years @ 600k

I don't disagree with what you are saying (personal responsibility and all). I was just replying and recounting what happened to my mum with pokies addiction. None of her friends knew anything about her losing her house...she was clearly ashamed of it - and even we had no idea. One of her friends who spoke at the funeral, even spoke about her love of the pokies which I found a bit disturbing.

Incorrect...Her addiction forced her to do that. Her whole social group revolved around being at the local club on a daily basis for decades. At her funeral, all her friends from that group, told us how much she loved playing the pokies.

Your not wrong. My mum passed away recently- and we found out that the house she used to own - she didn't anymore...she had actually sold it 20 years ago - and was in a reverse mortgage situation - where she was being paid an income monthly until it was paid off to them! This was due to expire next year...which meant she wouldve been homeless. She had blown it all on those insidious pokies!

Daughter- Pearl Jam, is about a girl with dyslexia, who's parents don't understand.

I'm not being a smart ass - but I'm 62 and have been asked twice in the last few months.

When I was growing up in the 70s...1 in 7 houses was social housing - now it's about 1 in 23. There was also no such thing as negative gearing, or GGT freebies. Too much has been taken away from those who need it - and given to those who don't.

It's called tunnel vision...alot of people see that the road is wider - and automatically think its safer to go faster. It's infuriating I know.

As a boomer, who grew up in a fair Australia - I can say that...Too much has been taken away from those who need it - and given too those who don't.. These generational class divides, don't happen overnight...they take decades to rear their ugly heads.

He shouldve been charged with crimes against football- a long time ago.

My wife of 36yrs, buys all my clothes - and I'm 100% cool with this. She loves shopping- and I hate it - and she has better style than I do.

Every game where Ross Lyon is coaching.

There's been psychological studies done into the long term effects of winning lotto...and they say it generally only makes you happy for about 6 to 12 mths.

Testing my memory, but it wasn't for long. That was the peak, when I bought

I'm a boomer and bought my 1st home for 95k at 17%., in 1990. Was hard - but manageable. If it was today - I wouldn't stand a chance.

I agree. Mccrae really values speed and pressure- and McCreery brings that in spades.

Rents and property prices go up.

I've seen lots of wealthy folks have kids...who shouldn't have.

Have my doubts, that either of those 2 players will cut it at afl level. You generally have to give something- to get something.

Post about it on social media

Of course it should...it's for the overall betterment of society...just like it was when I grew up in the 60/70s.

I've lived in the Yarra Ranges for 3 decades - and am lucky enough to be a home owner, but there is no private rental within 30kms of me, but there are any number of air b and bs to choose from. My daughter and grandson have had to move out of the area, because the place they were renting has been sold - and there's no.other options here for them anymore. My grandson is devastated that he's had to change schools...it's literally changing the fabric of our area and communities!

I swear he only bought twitter - to help the Republicans get re elected. He loves to tell everyone he's a centrist too.
