Do you reckon Scott Morrison has been to a petrol station lately? Petrol prices are surging on his watch.

@Bmacca42 @LeagueFreak @AdamSchefter I’d say majority of attendees know the rules

@LeagueFreak @AdamSchefter I am waiting for the crowd reaction to watching a game in real time. AFL, NRL, Rugby Even Soccer - all are quick, almost non stop action sports. NFL blunders along with time outs and stoppages. Then theres the "two minute warning". Interesting to see if the punters leave early.

The 49ers and Rams will play Thursday, Sept. 10 at 5:35 p.m. PT at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. Due to the 17-hour time difference, the 49ers and Rams will take the field Friday at 10:35 a.m. (AEST) in Melbourne, with the game airing Thursday evening in the United States.

@LeagueFreak @AdamSchefter Kick off time is not an issue. Cricket starts at 10am on weekdays every year. The view will suck tho.

@AdamSchefter Kicking off before lunchtime, and having an NFL field out in the middle of an oval......anyone that pays money to attend this is a fucking idiot!

@SonnyBWilliams When you understand Mohammed was a child rapist then anyone who converts and preached Islam is looked upon the same. CTE is real for you

When you understand what "Greater Israel" means you’ll understand what’s happening in the world right now. Praying for the people of Iran, Lebanon & Palestine.

@Tiger2047 He is old and losing his marbles. Is he still a journo? I dont think he is currently employed.

How is an NRL journo falling for obvious fake shit like this. How embarrassing.

@PhilGould15 This tweet sums up my thoughts on it perfectly. I’m 45 and was brainwashed in school that we wouldn’t be able to go outside without full UV protection suits like a hazmat outfit. The older i get the more I see the industry it has created.

Firstly, you assume I use Ai to write my opinions. I don’t. I certainly use Ai for a lot of things, including research. Anyone who is not using Ai, or learning the benefits of Ai technology, is missing out. Ai will have greater influence on our future than anything previously created throughout history. I read up a lot about climate stuff. I don’t profess to be an expert. But neither are those who abuse me for my opinion. For what is worth, here’s my explanation. The basic philosophy of climate change is the Earth has a heat-trapping blanket of air around it. Climate change activists claim that burning fuel like petrol, coal and gas, are making that blanket thicker. A thicker blanket means the planet gets warmer. They argue that man-made CO2 creates a warmer planet, which causes more severe climate events. The climate argument is that the longer we keep thickening the blanket, the harder it becomes to fix. That’s the theory.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ They exaggerate the speed at which this will be a factor. The vast majority of catastrophic predictions over the past 50 years have simply not occurred. Not even close. My own children, smart kids, all now in their 20s, educated in Australian schools, were at one time completely convinced, (and panicking), that the planet would end within a decade unless man stop producing CO2. They would get very upset with me, because I would say that this is not going to happen, certainly not in such a ridiculously short time frame they were fearing. Younger people have been educated to think this way. People are making a fortune, governments are being elected, purely on the fear-mongering premise that humans are changing the climate and the planet is in jeopardy. Fact - CO2 makes up less than 0.04% of the atmosphere. Human produced CO2 is only a fraction of that small number. Blaming CO2 for global warming is like blaming a drop of ink for changing the colour of your swimming pool. The Sun drives our climate far more powerfully than any gas. Exposure to the Sun warms oceans. Warmer oceans release CO2 naturally. Therefore, CO2 may well be a consequence of warming, not the cause. History backs this up. Earth had warming and cooling cycles long before humans existed. More CO2 actually makes for a healthier planet. Plants grow faster. Forests and crops thrive. This is happening now. It’s been proven. A slightly warmer, CO2 rich planet, makes for a healthier planet. Humans think in terms of human survival, rather than accepting the planet has always changed, adapted, and renewed across its 4.5 billion year history.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Human existence is in jeopardy in the longer term. Not the health of the planet. The planet will survive much longer than the human race. It will not be global warming that kills the human race. The human race will self destruct long before any climate event removes them. Human philosophy for changing the climate, is actually leading to economic harm and quality of life deterioration. The costs are greater than the proposed cures. They want to dedicate trillions of dollars and cripple our energy systems chasing Net Zero - a target with no scientific guarantee it will change the climate one degree. The idea that human industrial policy can influence global temperature, is arguably as arrogant as the belief that humans are powerful enough to destroy the planet in the first place. I’m all for reducing pollution, cleaning up our environment, protecting our water supplies. That’s common sense. I’m against the economic and social damage we are inflicting on ourselves through ridiculous energy policies, which will have zero effect on the climate in the long run. That’s my opinion. It seems to upset climate change believers. I don’t care. Not for one minute do I think my opinion matters, or that it will change anything. But I do think the world thinking is slowly turning back the other way. I’m hoping so, anyway.

@footyindustryAU The AFL is getting next to no media coverage in Sydney. There is no high profile household names playing in either team. You could have the whole Swans and Giants team walk down Circular Quay without being recognised. Since Buddy retired nobody has taken over that role

Theres a difference between struggling to haul in crowds and strugfling to get as big a crowd as before. And people getting half those struggling crowds really should be quieter on that subject.

@ReadingThePlay Roster expectations are much different.

Seems only 2 coaches keep getting the #nrl media focus, while one gets left out.. 2024-2026 coaching results: Flanagan: 19/50 @ 38.00% Payten: 27/52 @ 51.92% Seibold: 26/52 @ 50.00% Yet Seibold and Payten are now all the media focus… ? Oh, and all 3 have started the season 0-2, not that you’d know..

🤦🏼‍♂️

Can I ask a really controversial question? Who actually cares enough about the record to want to run onto the field?

@nat_sinclair93 @TicsVitsJacThic It’s just an AFL tradition. You run on for 100 goals in a season and 1000 in a career

@AngryFan19 @TicsVitsJacThic Well that is very odd then

@nat_sinclair93 @TicsVitsJacThic It’s a much bigger achievement than Buddy. Buddy didn’t break a record. He just became the 6th person to reach 1000. It would be like celebrating Tupou becoming the 3rd to 200 if he makes it

@TicsVitsJacThic My thoughts exactly I mean this with so much respect but AJ isn’t really the NRL Buddy Franklin equivalent

@elonmusk Worked well for Zimbabwe. Turned a thriving country into 3rd world

Hmm

@Hugh_96 @Ronnie451785314 The business model needs some work when they lost money in 2025

@Ronnie451785314 Niche or not. 40k attending is great for business. Can’t ask for much more for a sports business.

Great crowd at the Swans last night. It’s the hot ticket these days in Sydney. Have to feel for the Tahs they were once the hot ticket.

@WarrenJB3 It’s pretty simple. The NRL starts before AFL so they take advantage of not going head to head with AFL when the opportunity is there

How do Melbourne get 20+ years of home games Round 1 AND get their balls rubbed by the #NRL This is OUTLANDISH favouritism They are not even trying to hide what they want as the result - all to prop up the game in Melbourne #NationalRiggedLeague

#Hezbollah Leader Mohammed Raad entering the war.

@SPBMcKenna What’s the theory on why Biden didn’t release the information during the last election? Surely if they had evidence like that then they would of used it to win the election.

🚨"Gold Coast City Council, read the fucking room" Australia DOES NOT want a Trump PEDOPHILE Tower! #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles #auspol

@HS19661966 @troydodds @The_Shoe24 If ALP could of cancelled the deal they would of. Instead they just wasted $300 million on a useless upgrade

@troydodds @The_Shoe24 My point stands: ethical journos don’t drag partisan politics into sport coverage. Whining about a “Labor-built” stadium with anti-Labor bile while the roof’s going up is just bias. Stick to footy, leave the politics out. Not weird—it’s calling out hypocrisy. #NRL #Penrith

It's actually extraordinary the Penrith Stadium project went ahead. You shouldn't be building stadiums if your budget delivers this kind of shade / rain cover. "The stadium Labor built" will forever be full of regret. #NRL #Penrith

@troydodds @Tinz_qld Would of been better to just knock down and build a new larger Western Stand with new change rooms and corporate areas. Would of been cheaper and faster

@Tinz_qld Not really my point. Once it was clear the $309m budget was only going to increase capacity marginally and improve coverage slightly, a different strategy about how the money was spent should have been implemented - and could have delivered a better result, IMO.

@RapSheet So Dolphins are open to trading a player they don’t want to keep. Thanks Captain Obvious

A potential trade on the table…
