Just an average bloke

@rohancct @GrayConnolly Heaven forbid that the military should have to pay green fees like the rest of us.

@GrayConnolly I remember when they tried to sell off Point Nepean (it was transferred from the Feds to the state in 1988) in the mid 90’s for redevelopment. Thankfully sanity prevailed and this was blocked.

Just in time for Anzac Day - the BRS prosecution and the fire sale of the Australian family silverware …. Heartened that former Labor PM Paul Keating is opposing it & hopefully a cross party coalition forms

@Stu_McLay who wouldnt we draft? I wish we had Murphy Reid but Im not sure who I wouldnt draft while he was still there. Lalor, Smillie, Faull and Hotton were the ones before Reid.

If the top 30 of the 2024 super draft was redone as of today it would look very different. I don't think it would be too flattering for Richmond.

@TrishCharter No need to yell Trish. They will be at commemoration services around the country and shame on any grubs who seek to politicise our sacred day.

Will ALBANESE or any of his LABOR MOB or the likes of KRISSY BARRETT HAVE THE HIDE 2 APPEAR PUBLICLY ON ANZAC DAY? Let them be warned in advance THAT THEY WILL NOT BE WELCOMED! CHANNEL 9 can forget having any audience 4 ANY HYPOCRITICAL FARCE they dare to present re ANZAC DAY!

@Stu_McLay Bring back the kiss cam. Now thats quality entertainment

Richmond may not play music after goals but let's not pretend the fans enjoy the other stuff like screeching pregame player introductions, music at breaks, shouting commentary on the Auskick game and over the top activations at 1/4 and 3/4 time. No one I know enjoys any of it.

@theheraldsun Who are the allies who are fighting with USA?

Former prime minister Tony Abbott has slammed Australia as looking ‘weak’ for refusing to join US allies fighting Iran – and warned we risk losing our freedom > bit.ly/4c4tpEE

@PeterOB24979769 No its because Petrochem companies built mega refineries next to larger markets and closed smaller out of date refineries in small local markets. Its called free enterprise.

How come we go to Singapore, an island 50k by 20k, and beg for their assistance to keep an entire continent running? It’s because Singapore has had stable conservative government since WW2. We have had multiple left wing governments that have dismantled our economy and society.

@RFC_Centre @partycorolla @DanDan001213 Sonz kills in the mid at VFL, plays HF in AFL? McAuliff the same. I watched Coll almost beat Freo. Our side is much better but we get smashed. Coll are well drilled, well coached. We are not.

@Johnny130924 @partycorolla @DanDan001213 None of our kids are ready to be fully fledged CB midfielders, that isn’t Yze’s fault. Lalor is great, but after 10mins in the midfield he’s absolutely gassed. At the moment, he’s a pinch hit player. All other options are injured.

R5 | Final Team Reckon those changes are fair enough. Kane was pretty ordinary last week & whilst we all agree he has ability, he’s got to show it. Balta will assume his usual post down back, hopefully Gray will join him down there. Banks up to a wing. #GoTiges

@RFC_Centre @partycorolla @DanDan001213 MJ not injured, Mansell wasnt injured, Campbell isnt injured, Brown not injured..... Yze goes the safe, sure to fail option every time.We have been smashed in the midfield his entire time,what changes has he tried. cont...

@RFC_Centre @partycorolla @DanDan001213 Thats the problem. Yze doesnt have the courage to move the gumboot brigade out. Like Sonz last year getting 30 in the 2s gets you played out of position in the 1s. Until a gumboot member is limited to 10CBAs we will not improve.

@partycorolla @DanDan001213 That’s the idea. Month in the VFL, in the middle. Challenge him to get it 30 times a game & be clean with his ball use.

@theheraldsun Barry and Gary Snr should do a political podcast. I wonder if the name dumb and dumber has been registered....

AFL legend and car enthusiast Barry Hall has slammed the fuel crisis gripping Australia, lamenting the public may not have much choice to turn to electronic vehicles if it continues. > bit.ly/4cgjkDt

@strangerous10 How dare you state facts at Pauline. She doesnt like facts...she doesnt even like half truths. She likes to quote the little voices inside her head.

Pauline Hanson in a trainwreck crucified on Ch10 after claiming it’s cost $300m to pursue Ben Roberts-Smith, then refusing to name her source🙄 “That’s not accurate — the entire budget of the office of the special investigator in its existence is $261m for 53 investigations”🔥💥

@theoztrucker Maybe the 21 fellow soldiers who already testified against him should be respected. The Japanese treatment of captured diggers in WW2 seems fair and reasonable by your reckoning.

I want to know how the prosecution of BRS serves this countries security and interests? I want t know how the prosecution expects to get a verdict beyond reasonable doubt with no forensic evidence, no DNA, no crime scene evidence, no weapon, no nothing except the few supposed eye witness accounts. Afghan farmers who call him infidel. Yeah, that will work! The rules of evidence are very different in the court it’s going to now than a defamation trial. I predict we will be paying Ben a large compensation settlement for the injustice he’s now enduring.

@Terri_1987a @AlboMP @AustralianLabor Yes, lets use ANZAC day to try to embarrass politicians you dont like. Shame on you.

This ANZAC Day I feel there will be a lot of support for Ben Roberts- Smith. We need to embarrass @AlboMP and his @AustralianLabor government including the Australian Federal Police.

@JoshuaShaneBer1 @robdotcom71 @Terri_1987a @AlboMP @AustralianLabor 21 of his fellow soldiers who were there may disagree with you.

@robdotcom71 @Terri_1987a @AlboMP @AustralianLabor He didn't commit war crimes you moron.

@RFC_Centre Im not convinced Yze has the courage to do that. Hope Im wrong. Time will tell

@Johnny130924 I have no doubt if we had Cumming, Smillie & Hotton available, the gumboot brigade (specifically Ross & Hopper) would be spending minimal time in the middle. Bloody injuries!

Our Midfield | A Thread It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of our current midfield mix. I’m confident in saying I’m not on my own either. We’re too slow, disposal is too poor & we don’t drive our legs to break away from the initial contest. Cont. #GoTiges

@AdamMorgan77 @theoztrucker should the 21 fellow veterans who testified against him be outed?

@theoztrucker And they spent 300 million of our tax payer money on this witch hunt! Those responsible for treating our veterans like this need to be outed! It’s disgraceful!

So here’s the thing. We sent this bloke to do the things no one wants to do. Along the way he demonstrated his bravery and was awarded our highest honour. You don’t get a VC for helping old ladies across the street. We cannot judge a man for what he does in combat by civilian standards at home. He shouldn’t be in gaol. If he needs to be judged then that should be by a jury of men who have been on a two way rifle range and experienced first hand what it was like to be there. Looks to me like BRS is the modern day Breaker Morant. A scapegoat for the whining few who don’t deserve the sacrifices made by our ADF.

@rohancct @1116sen should be relocated Canberra now.

@Stu_McLay @TigerAncient You were at the game and you thought MJ was sub-par. Wow wee.

@TigerAncient Yep.

This is one of the major problems at Richmond, celebrating mediocrity. It's a return to the mentality of years past. Had 10 touches, gained 69m, 2 mks, 2 tack, 1 gl, 1 cl. Hardly worth spruiking. It's not a Rioli thing, it's a whole team thing. Don't talk up sub par performances.

@Makeozgr8again @ShoahUkraine @DrewPavlou The other soldiers there knew who the enemy were including the numerous real heros who testified against him.

@ShoahUkraine @DrewPavlou And the Taliban were fair fighters? No war crimes committed by them? When you’re not sure exactly who is the enemy and who are civilians the rules change to ensure your survival. SASR were not sent there to play drop the hanky.

Ben Roberts-Smith was just arrested on alleged war crimes charges. Miscarriage of justice. He served his country. If we were ever invaded we would need men like him to fight to save Australia. How can we be so ungrateful? Free Ben Roberts-Smith.
