The irony of the silver and bronze medals in tournaments like this. Giannis is living his best life with a bronze. Sengun with a well deserved silver medal and he looks like someone kicked his dog.

@DamirKulas It wasn't not this.

Difficult to ascertain why the Socceroos don’t resonate with the general public more but it’s hard not to feel that an opportunity was missed following the success of Qatar 2022. Me thinks that a multitude of reasons are in play.

Football Aus saw an opportunity and instead let this happen through greed and stupidity.

@Pickle__Chris All teams are not spending 105% of the cap to squeeze in free agents. I can confirm this.

@Pencil2292 @brisbanelions You mean the same salary every other club uses?

BACK ON THE WINNERS LIST! 😛😛😛

@godjpamaterasu @Pickle__Chris @brisbanelions

@Pickle__Chris @Pencil2292 @brisbanelions Hello. Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome are my cultures and they are not Black ethnic cultures. I can and shall deny and prevent/stop any attempts to claim them as Black ethnic cultures. Black people are not ancient Egyptian, they are not god kings and they are not going to be.

@CamTaylor2293 @hashbrowne @brisbanelions Fake news.

@hashbrowne @brisbanelions Because Old Fitzroy supports don’t align with Brissy. The vast majority despise them. The alignment is not wha you think.

Tell me why @brisbanelions shouldn’t wear this jumper every time they play in Victoria. #AFLSaintsLions

@IIama____ @NicNegrepontis Must suck for you then mate

@Pencil2292 @NicNegrepontis I'm a Carlton supporter and think father son should go. Don't care if we got pick 3 for free, don't care if we get pick 1 this year for free, I'll still complain about it

Is getting a dual norm smith medallist consensus draft stud for picks in the 40s “for the good of the game”, Chris?

@LongMacVampyr A Geelong fan complaining about father son picks winning their team titles 👀

I'd maybe take this from a coach who isn't the main beneficiary from the academy and father son rules lmao

@SERG1O_D Can we also discuss how you ripped the life out of the gold coast suns to get your 3 titles with the "go home" effect? Or is that less appealing to y'all down south?

Can we also discuss Father Son picks Academy picks Free agent recruits

@MonarchoHoppean @tommorris32 @1116sen @AFLNation Their premiums are likely also significantly higher than yours and mine to cover this. You'll find the AFLPA will challenge this and they'll find another provider who covers head knocks.

@Pencil2292 @tommorris32 @1116sen @AFLNation I just don’t think the comparisons with other workplaces make any sense. There is no other workplace where 90% of the shit that happens every minute on a football field is acceptable

👇The email sent to 500+ AFL players today. Any head trauma won’t be covered from May 1. @1116sen @AFLNation

@NicNegrepontis No you did. I believe the father son rule rule was established in 1949 and as I understand it won't be going anywhere. There I went on 🙂 Hello pot.

@Pencil2292 Literally no, but go on.

As we head into the weekend, all eyes are on Project Hail Mary’s second weekend at the box office. The drop will be key to its long-term performance. A typical drop is around 40–50%, but given the strong word of mouth and packed screenings, we expect it to be much, much lower.

@friendlynixk @tommorris32 @1116sen @AFLNation Why is your car insurance liable if you have a crash? Surely there's a voluntary assumption of risk by the driver.

@MonarchoHoppean @tommorris32 @1116sen @AFLNation Mate this is garbage from you. If I told you your job would provide you WorkCover for everything except head injuries, you'd be rightfully ready sue their ass.

At what point do we accept that Aussie rules is an - at times brutal - contact sport and head knocks are simply a very foreseeable risk of doing business? If the risk is unacceptable to you as a player, don’t play the sport. Insurance companies aren’t an unlimited wellspring of money. The money paid to players has to come from somewhere, namely their other clients, who are probably quite happy their premiums haven’t jumped up a bunch

@tommorris32 @1116sen @AFLNation This is "line in the sand" level of stuff that the AFLPA need to make a stand on. No head trauma cover. No play. Simple.

Cuba has gone completely dark three times this month. Not rolling blackouts. Total grid collapse. 10 million people, zero electricity, for days at a time. The last oil shipment reached Cuba on January 9. That’s 75 days without a single significant fuel import. The country runs on power plants that burn oil, most built during the Soviet era, and it only produces about 40% of the fuel it needs. The other 60% came from Venezuela and Mexico. In January, the US removed Venezuelan President Maduro by force, cutting off the country that supplied half of Cuba’s oil. Then Trump signed an executive order threatening tariffs on any country that sells oil to Cuba. Mexico stopped shipping. The New York Times called it the first effective US blockade of Cuba since the Missile Crisis. Half of Cuba’s 16 power plants are offline. The grid needs about 3,500 megawatts to keep the lights on. Before the March 4 collapse, it was producing barely half that, and then the largest plant failed too. Havana now gets blackouts of 12 to 15 hours a day. In the provinces, people live on 3 to 5 hours of electricity. Satellite imagery shows nighttime light across the island down 50% compared to last year. Tens of thousands of surgeries have been postponed. Garbage trucks sit with empty fuel tanks. Air Canada suspended all flights. Hotel occupancy has dropped to 20%. Russia tried to break the blockade. Two tankers headed for Cuba: the Sea Horse with 200,000 barrels of diesel and the Anatoly Kolodkin with 730,000 barrels of crude. The Kolodkin listed its destination as “Atlantis, USA” on its tracking system. The US Treasury banned Russian oil deliveries to Cuba. The Sea Horse diverted to Trinidad. The Royal Navy tracked the Kolodkin through the English Channel. A US destroyer trailed it into the Caribbean. As of this weekend, it changed course away from Cuba. Cuba responded by offering to release 51 political prisoners, opening the economy to foreign investment for the first time in its history, and confirming it’s in talks with the US. Protesters in the town of Morón stormed a Communist Party headquarters. Cuba’s deputy foreign minister said the military is preparing for the possibility of US aggression. An entire country is running out of fuel in real time, 90 miles from Florida.

Sacramento are going through all this JUST to get the 5th pick.

@c22world You'll never see an Australian more weaker between the ears either. All the talent. No heart.

This kills me bro I’m never seeing another talent from Australia like this again

Bucks fans coming together to appreciate this post.
