@CalTwomey How about when the umpire stops the clock to line a player up, the clock doesn't restart until the player kicks/handball/plays on. Then no time is wasted.

Greg Swann brought in seven new rules. He needs an eighth. The 30-second shot clock has been manipulated for too long. Examples like this Brodie Kemp kick - taking the full time then passing - should see the team surrender the ball. Cal-culations 👉 afl.com.au/news/1479097/c…

Labor’s assistance enabling ‘ISIS bride’ terrorists to return to Australia exposes the government’s ‘Stockholm syndrome’ with radical Islam. One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said Labor’s politically motivated, fear-driven coddling of Islamic extremism was complicit in the rising antisemitism which led to the Bondi massacre and exemplified by the ISIS bride debacle. “The testimony from Australians at the Royal Commission has been shocking,” Senator Hanson said. “The antisemitism these people have experienced seems little different to what German Jews experienced in the 1930s. “Tony Burke is so scared of losing the Muslim vote in his electorate he’s allowed himself and the Albanese Labor government to be held hostage by political Islam. This fear has been perverted into a form of Stockholm syndrome – Labor continues to coddle political Islam and antisemitism. “Burke allowed a known antisemitic extremist influencer to enter Australia, only cancelling his visa after the media exposed it. Labor has denied visas to elected members of the Israeli legislature. Labor has a strong record of placating extremists calling for genocide against Israelis. It hasn’t even implemented the recommendations of its own token ‘special envoy to combat antisemitism’ and wouldn’t even appoint her without also having an ‘Islamophobia’ envoy. “Tony Burke has effectively rolled out the welcome mat for the ‘ISIS bride’ terrorists despite the clear threat these people represent, all the while denying he was providing any assistance at all. “Labor has no conviction on this issue, nowhere to hide, and no plans to make Australians safer against the ideology of political Islam. Many Australians have been killed in the perverted cause of this ideology, the very existence of which Labor cannot even bring itself to acknowledge. “This ideology has no place in Australia. It goes against principles on which our nation was founded: the rule of law; freedom of speech and religion; secular democracy. “This ideology has no room in the world for anyone who doesn’t submit to it. Labor has submitted without even realising it. Australians must wake up before Labor submits the nation.”

@vline_geelong No, make that 25 buses at least

@vline_geelong You need another 15 busses at Wyndham Vale now just to clear everyone who have been waiting over an hour

Coaches are replacing trains between Wyndham Vale and Waurn Ponds due to a rail equipment fault.

@DonCaldwelll Brad Scott is what's happened to him. Should have remained a permanent mid, when he broke out a couple years ago and the team were going well, Parish was injured and Durham our most dynamic mid.

I like Sam Durham, a lot, but is he really a good full time midfielder? 19 Centre Bounce Attendances yesterday = 1 Clearance? 15 Disposals - 7 Turnovers? In the 3rd Quarter when the heat was on, he had 1 Disposal from 7 CBAs? 0 Tackles in 3 quarters of footy? I’m confused.

A former Special Forces Commando who served alongside Ben Roberts-Smith in Afghanistan has finally broken his silence. His name is Dean Burgess. He even speaks of the unwritten code of the “quiet professionals” and says he would feel like a traitor to the Brotherhood if he stayed silent any longer. He describes the brutal truth our soldiers faced: an enemy with zero rules who hid behind women and children, used them as human shields, and laughed at our rules of engagement. Our troops were sent into that nightmare again and again under impossible restrictions. Yet now the government is running a witch-hunt against the very men they ordered into that hell. Stuff 'em, I am speaking out. This gutless Labor government dragged our Victoria Cross hero off a plane in front of his kids, arrested him like a terrorist and locked him in Silverwater with the very terrorists he was sent to fight. What happens in war stays in war, it's always been an unwritten code of honour by professionals who fought and some gave their live to protect us. You do not spend hundreds of millions crucifying soldiers for doing the job you sent them to do. We still inflict our famous & stupid Australian Tall Poppy Syndrome on our own war heroes while bending over for every ideology we are too weak to name. In 1980 Lee Kuan Yew was right when he warned us we would become the "poor white trash of Asia". Well Australia, it's Mission Accomplished. All gift-wrapped and paid for by taxpayers too gormless or apathetic to stop it. At long last Australia is finally waking up. The rage is building. And we're not taking this anymore. If you are reading this and feel the same way but can only say it in private, then WTFU, it's high time to grow a spine and start saying it publicly. For goodness sake stop hiding in the shadows whispering like controlled cowards. #FreeBenRobertsSmith #FreeBSR

@PombearClare @HestonRussell @Avro255 @carolinemarcus

@RhysStewart2407 @absoessendon Correct, and why would the players listen to Brad, they know he won't drop them to the reserves, he said as much in a recent press conference.

@absoessendon Players clearly don't listen to him and his assistants anyway. Lose the dressing room lose your job. Look at King at Melbourne. You give a new guy a go and shake things up. Maybe footy becomes fun again. under Scott, losses are embarrassing and the wins are ugly and unenjoyable

Is there any point in terminating the coach’s contract so soon in the season? Wouldn’t this just pass the same problem onto the next coach? It’s being reported that the payout could be more than $1M. What do you guys think?

@IngateSnr @absoessendon Silly call. Chris was also a much better player than Brad, miles better.

@absoessendon Brad is not the problem - there's no way 2 identical twins with parallel careers are not the same. The difference is, Chris went to a good club, Brad has ended up at 2 different clubs both of which were busted arse basket cases. (NM recovering since) look deeper for the answer

@ManNorven2408 @DonCaldwelll Caddy hit the post running into an open goal. Langford couldn't kick a goal if his life depended on it. And these two are forwards. But yeah, let's not pick Tsatas because he missed some shots.

@DonCaldwelll All I ask anyone pushing for his elevation to watch the last qtr of the VFL game between 6-8 minutes. 2 shots on goal. You’ll know why he can’t play VFL. Broke my heart. I want the kid to succeed but those 2 kicks say everything.

Elijah Tsatas, now 21 years old, played 16 AFL games. Many which he’s named sub or get’s subbed. He still hasn’t played more than 2 full games of AFL in a row Should have played 50+ by now. WTF are they doing? VFL stats: 34 Disposals 16 Contested 10 Clearances 6 Tackles 🟥⬛️

Today marks the end of the survivor participation for our rape gang inquiry hearings. I simply have no words that describe the bravery and courage of these women who have come forward. No words. What they have been through is indescribable. It has been a life-changing experience for me. I never thought such evil was possible. Never. Not here, in Britain. In our towns, in our communities. It is pure evil. These men are so utterly depraved. If it were up to me, thousands of them would receive the death penalty. To do what they did, on such an industrial scale, to innocent young girls - many of whom were already in such an incredibly vulnerable place? There is no redemption possible. The world is a better place without them in it. I started this inquiry because so many others failed. Speaking honestly, I did not understand how deep this evil is rooted in our society. Police, politicians, council officials, the NHS, social workers, children’s homes - it is everywhere. IS everywhere. Not was. IS. Meeting these women, and men, listening to how severely they were failed by those tasked to protect them? My views have changed forever. I knew it was bad. I never knew how bad it was. Every single one who has come forward is a hero in my view. The courage and grace in how they have conducted themselves is unlike anything I have seen in my life. All because they don’t want others to suffer the same fate. That is an extraordinary sacrifice. They could have just moved on with their lives. Tried to forget. But no, they chose to do this. I am in awe of all of them. Our hearings will finish tomorrow, following the contribution of three more expert witnesses. Then the next stage begins. We will produce a report, and then we will seek to put people in prison. There are FAR more testimonies and evidence to release - this will keep coming and coming and coming. Even with a media blackout, we have reached tens of millions. We have made real progress. And following such immense demand, we will reopen the portal so that more women can tell their stories. This is just the beginning. Politicians from all parties have failed these girls, again and again and again. I do not intend to join that list. To everyone who donated, thank you. To our team, thank you. And especially to the survivors, thank you. I believe that together we can start to make Britain understand what is happening, and then finally do something about it.

@OneNationAus Hey, Mr Prime Minister, the Orange Express is gathering speed and you are that three-toed sloth stuck in the middle of the track without a clue what is heading your way.

Lucy Zelic didn't hold back when Stephen Conroy arrogantly defended family reunion entitlements for politicians👏

@KweenInYellow @cspan @RepAOC @AOC Weird take, a lie even. My teenage kids here in Australia knew who he was and they aren't political at all.

@cspan @RepAOC @AOC No one even knew who this guy was, let alone liked him lol

.@RepAOC @AOC on House-passed resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk: "Instead of uniting Congress in this tragedy with one of the many bipartisan options to condemn political violence and Kirk's murder, as we did with the late Melissa Hortman, instead the majority proceeded with a resolution that brings great pain to the millions of Americans who endured segregation, Jim Crow and the legacy of bigotry today."

@PiesWrldd Yep, but also just add a transfer bonus to the player, say 100k. And they can't be traded (without consent) within a set time period, say 2 seasons or something. I mean, we currently send 18 year olds all over the country and they are the lowest paid, so why not everyone else.

If Merrett, Curnow, and Petracca all walk out on their clubs while still under contract to join premiership contenders, it's time for the AFL and AFLPA to seriously consider adopting a system like the NBA or NFL, where clubs have the power to trade players to the highest bidder.

@Sam_Vecenie You get it. Essendon fans running around thinking the sky is falling.This is an opportunity that we absolutely must take and maximise to our benefit. We needed a true rebuild for years, we can finally have one if we play our cards right. Hating on a club champion is pathetic.

This best-and-fairest should be a coronation for Merrett as the best player the club has had for the last decade. Don't force him to skip the event to get leverage. Work with him, let him know you won't move him if there isn't a great deal on the table, but that you're open.

Essendon tweet: Zach Merrett is doing the club a favor. I love him, he's an unreal player, truly hope for his happiness. But he's about to be 30. The club isn't contending for the next 2 years. You're going to get a king's ransom of value. He's making it easy for you. Move him.
