Freo ⚓ Pope

@Greggreenwood17 @ParapetSee @Peter_Fitz There is no possible remedy other than making oil companies richer. Governments don't have the capability to do stuff themselves anymore.

@ParapetSee @FreoPope @Peter_Fitz Labor doesn't have a majority in the Senate! The Greens/Liberal/OneNarion/Nationals alliance block Labor's laws! Attack them for causing it & blocking remedies!

Precisely. These are not serious people. Bumper-sticker policies, and that's it.

@ParapetSee @Peter_Fitz You can't just demand companies reopen refineries once they close. I wonder who was the energy minister when the most recent bunch were closed? abc.net.au/news/2021-02-1…

@FreoPope @Peter_Fitz Aren’t the ALP socialists interested in the welfare of the working class and the poor? So much for that unjustified belief, they display no concern for their most basic need for energy security. Just ideology in place of physics and economics

@ParapetSee @Peter_Fitz Politicians allowed it but companies did it. The companies shut their refineries, not the politicians. The companies worked out they make more money for their shareholders importing & distributing than refining. Pauline & all the right are free market fans, low govt intervention

@Peter_Fitz Serious people? The ones who engineered an Australian oil shortage despite years of warnings? Those serious people?

@MatterOfStats This obviously doesn't take into account the tone and speed of speech at the post match press conference, nor the Monday night talking head group think assessment that takes years to change.

Boredom and Excitement in men's AFL 2025 home and away season

@waflfootyfacts good morning. Just noticed that you spell Murdock as Murdoch on the EFFC honour board page waflfootyfacts.net/team/honourboa… and haven't added his 2025 Lynn Medal yet. But @EFFC haven't updated the list on their website since 2023. effc.com.au/history/lynn-m…

@theheraldsun Which AFL player was driving?

Dramatic footage has captured the moment a Ford Ranger ploughed through Richmond on three wheels and on the wrong side of the road before slamming into parked cars in Fitzroy. > bit.ly/4urltnU

@pkd73 @benhook1 @kanecornes @1116sen Women's Asian cup had booked Optus until tonight too, hence no AFL yet

@benhook1 @kanecornes @1116sen Fair call and makes sense. I guess they had to keep AO and Optus free just in case. I was probably thinking conspiracy too much. So is the shield final a week later this year?

@kanecornes @1116sen can’t believe you didn’t mention on Fireball how ridiculous it was that for the second week of footy (round 1) there was still no footy in SA or WA with one in QLD, one in NSW and the rest in Victoria.

@APH1991 Murdock's 3 Simpson Medals and 3 Lynn Medals probably already outguns Faletic's 2 Port b&fs and a few leading goal kicking awards.

Don't do this normally but, who'll be better by their respective careers' ends? Milan Faletic. Milan Murdock.

@football_roos @APH1991 Danger has matched it every week since last April! Goodes didn't quite make it to 37. Morris need 2 more years to play at 38 in 38. What number did Sav Rocca wear in the NFL?

@APH1991 Robert Harvey wore #35, was aged 35 in his 358th game in Round 20, 2007. That will take some beating.

Who's the oldest VFL/AFL player whose age and guernsey number matched?

@tim_michell Should be like Rugby, ref calls the captain over and says the next one is a straight red. But it's China in the AFC, so play on.

Katrina Gorry got every right to look shitty. Been stomped 4-5 times already.

@MervHughes332 Barnabied.

@LolOut160461 @ClayTravis I'm sure the Iranian authorities would allow all the Iranian players to defect & their families too, if a lesbian in Oakland did a tik tok about it. 🙄 People protest to affect change, not just because something is bad in the world. Their voice is worthless here.

The silence is absolutely deafening. We see so much 'solidarity' when the stakes are low, but when women are literally being coerced back into a death trap via family kidnappings, the prominent voices go quiet? These players deserve better than selective activism. This is a horrific human rights crisis happening in real-time ​#Iran #WomenLifeFreedom #StandWithIranianWomen #HumanRights #USWNT #IranianWomenSoccer #LetThemStay #Geopolitics

Iran has reportedly kidnapped the families of the Iranian women’s soccer team members who requested asylum & the women are now abandoning those claims and returning to the country to face torture or death. No prominent left wing American women’s soccer players have said a word.

@stkfc_diajack @PollyPorridge My pic? That was pure AI generated slop, my friend, not Photoshop.

@FreoPope @PollyPorridge Why not a shit photoshop job

“One Batter After Another” was right there…

@RyanWilsonTweet @7AFL NFL gives every team a bye between weeks 5-14 in an 18 game season. Bye weeks aren't the issue. Giving 10 teams a very different season to the other 8 is the problem.

@7AFL Why are we ruining the competition with 9 bye rounds? Maybe find a way to promote the code in NSW & QLD without spoiling the season launch with unnecessary bye rounds 👍

"Why is everyone ruining a way to promote the code in New South Wales and Queensland?" 🗣️ Caroline Wilson following Justin Longmuir's post-game comments on Opening Round inequality

@kentank87 @7AFL How would a game in Perth or Adelaide affect 4 games in the northern states, at all? Give them all the prime time spots (although playing day games in Perth in early March is a stupid idea)

@7AFL How is Saints vs Magpies promoting the code in NSW or Queensland?

@7AFL You'd think a professional commentator would listen to the whole presser, know that it was in response to a journos question, and that West Coast had won 4 flags, not 3. Turn it up Caro! Arrow yourself.

@Barks185 @7AFL Optus/govt blocked us from using Optus due to the Asian Cup soccer.

@7AFL That’s fine but give the WA & SA teams a home game in round 1 as a compromise.

So @sam_mcclure thinks starting a Tassie team in 3 years is rushing it. But Freo just was a basket case club from day 1. Have a read of Freo's start up history one day, champ. 🙄
