@dontpostlel @CalTwomey @JoshGabelich @RileyBev What a fucking stupid comment.

@CalTwomey @JoshGabelich @RileyBev St Kilda trying to add someone to the NGA? Thought they wanted a Crystal clean draft! Way to lose the credibility on that one

St Kilda was knocked back in its bid to have talented prospect Gus Teixeira added to its NGA under the new rules bringing in South American backgrounds. His father is Brazilian. Plus lots more in Inside Trading👇 @JoshGabelich @RileyBev afl.com.au/news/1484127

@Pete_1st @stats_feed Accurate.

@stats_feed Not accurate

🤯 In a group of 23 people, there is a 50% chance of two people sharing the same birthday. The probability increases to 99% for a group of 50 people.

@royalguyy2k @stats_feed Way to be so confident and yet so wrong.

@stats_feed Nope in church, we have about 100-120 people and my birthday is only mine among everyone (I know because I have their records which we keep)

@RonnyLerner @nicksplitter @JoshFrydenberg Pathetic grandstanding

Take a bow @JoshFrydenberg , you have been quite simply sensational in your public appearances in the past 24 hrs. You’ve displayed the kind of leadership & clarity our devastated nation has so badly needed and which has been so sorely lacking from our supposed leaders in charge

@RedEaglePatriot Surely you aren’t that dumb. Surely.

How’s that gun control and mass immigration working out for you, Australia?

@realDonaldTrump You really are a piece of shit

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc. Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!

@MitchCumstein00 @mehdirhasan How the fuck do you figure that?

@mehdirhasan omg there is zero equivalence here.

If you want to understand the failure of our media, since Kirk’s murder Republicans have fanned out across the media for interviews, all claiming Dems calling Trump ‘fascist’ causes violence. And not a single interviewer has pushed back with: ‘But Trump called Harris a fascist!’

@RapidResponse47 @VP How fucking vacuous. Actually do something!!!

"I have never had a day that will stay with me like this day did," says @VP in Minneapolis. "These parents — in the midst of the worst grief of their entire lives — they opened up their lives. They opened up their hearts."

@my_dowdy @khaled74 @JDVance How ignorant do you want to be.

@khaled74 @JDVance Totally prevent? Some problems don't have solutions.

I just left Minneapolis, where I was honored to meet with a number of grieving famlies and hear about their beautiful children--in particular Harper (10) and Fletcher (8), who died in the Annunciation school shooting. I also met another beautiful girl who is recovering well, thank God. We discussed a lot, but all the families had a couple of immediate requests: First, to pray for Sophia, who continues to fight for her life every day. Pray for her health, pray for her swelling to be controlled, and pray for strength for her parents, doctors, and nurses. Second, don't give the shooter the attention, but focus on the kids who were taken from us. I learned that Harper had a smile that could light up the room, that she loved visiting the national parks with her parents, and that she looked beautiful in her first communion gown. I learned that Fletcher was rambunctious and energetic, that he loved football and basketball, and that he had an amazing head of hair. Yes, they were taken from their families far too soon. But in their short lives they made a big mark on the many people who loved them. Let's give them the attention they deserve.

@XanderMcGuire7 @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL Trying hard to be St Kilda with selling out to Emirates

Collingwood will wear a ‘retro’ jumper in their Round 21 clash vs Brisbane. The design is a compilation of past guernseys worn by the club over the last 30 years. @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL

@gervaisclips @rickygervais Sadly this is where he ended up trying for shock value rather than funny.

@Fearless_Foz @PaulAmy375 @codesportsau Didn’t you read the part where he himself admitted he wasn’t in the frame when he was 18, or just wanting to troll.

@PaulAmy375 @codesportsau You would expect Saint Kilda’s constant shrill about father sons Will descend to almost nothing.

'He’s a nice, long, left-foot kick, he drives his legs, he’s got power, he’s strong in the contest, he’s courageous.' Overlooked as a St Kilda father-son prospect, Frankston's Jackson Voss is coming again. He's a beauty. For @codesportsau codesports.com.au/afl/state-leag…

@WisdenCricket Is there anything Gavaskar won’t sook about.

Sunil Gavaskar has criticised the renaming of the Test trophy between England and India, claiming that it should have been 'Tendulkar-Anderson' rather than 'Anderson-Tendulkar'. #ENGvIND #SunilGavaskar

@AFL @kanecornes Like going down like a sack of spuds in the first few minutes. Spare me.

"There should be no doubts about his toughness both mentally and physically." Kane was impressed by Nick Daicos' performance under a heavy tag. Watch First Up with @kanecornes: afl.com.au/video/1349758

@unpluggered Smart people can do more than one thing at once. This article implies Bassett is only pursuing this to the exclusion of other activities. Same as the current chatter about academies. He can push that agenda whilst improving internally at the same time. It’s not a binary choice.

This piece was written and sent in by an @unpluggered listener. We are three individuals with our own opinions, so by publishing this we are neither agreeing nor disagreeing, just interested in the thoughts of others given the current state of our beloved club. So, what do YOU think, Saints fam? Maybe we'll have our say on this week's pod... #saintsfooty #stkildafc

THE UNSAINTLY CRUSADE OF ANDREW BASSAT As a St Kilda Tragic for over 50 years, I have seen it all. Well, that's a lie. A Flag, I haven't seen flag. I've seen countless wooden spoons, cult heroes, Brownlow medalists, goal kicking legends, drawn grand finals, sirengate, sacked coaches, Seaford, and much more. But I've never seen a premiership. At the end of 2022, St Kilda president Andrew Bassat sacked Brett Ratten, the coach that won St kilda its first final since the dizzy times of "Ross Lyon 1" some ten years earlier. Ratten did all he could, with a depleted football department, no true head of football, and a then CEO who arguably had it "in for him". But like good saints members, we marched on, trusting our club. Bassat, with help from "old St Kilda" connections, put together a "dream team", to take the club to the promised land. Ross Lyon, Robert Harvey, Lenny Hayes, and Brendan Goddard all returned to the club. The admin' was shaken up too, with new football people, including David Misson and Carl Dilena. Faith had been restored. Bassat looked like a genius. At the end of 2023, St Kilda were once again playing finals. Memberships and crowds were up. The club was working as a well oiled machine. In round 4, 2024, St Kilda was sitting 2 and 2. which included a magnificent win over the defending premiers, Collingwood, and a gutsy loss down at Geelong. Then.... Something happened..... Something odd, something changed. It was like the energy was being sucked out. So, let's revisit April 2024, and see what "bad juju" had enveloped the club. The earliest rumblings I can find re St Kilda in April 2024, was on Channel Nine's Footy Show, where then host Caroline Wilson reported that St kilda president Andrew Bassat, had taken upon himself to be the "representative" of Victorian clubs, to attack the AFL in regards to the northern clubs "academies". He also attacked the long standing tradition of the "father son" rule, targeting Collingwood and Geelong. Below are some comments from Channel Nines Footy Classified 29/4/24- WILSON: “I think they (Victorian clubs) are" (carrying on too much). “I mentioned Andrew Bassat last week, who has been leading the charge (against the academies)". “I think Andrew Bassat definitely thinks that father-sons have been too unfair and too beneficial to clubs like Geelong and Collingwood.” LLOYD: “Isn’t the academy the least of (Victorian clubs) problems?" “North have had a million picks, but how has it helped them?” WILSON: “You are so right." From April 2024, instead of having "St Kilda only" blinkers on, President Andrew Bassat has been on an unsaintly crusade, which was embarrassingly obvious at the St kilda Best and Fairest night, with an eye turning speech criticised by many as "wrong place wrong time". Bassat has ramped up his Crusade this year, and recently met with the AFL , asking for an end to QLD and NSW academies. It's the Politics of envy. It's trying to drag other clubs down, instead of making your own club better. One can't become the greatest via eroding your competition. For a club to be great, the whole organization must work as a well oiled machine. Everyone from janitor to president must have one goal- TO WIN THE PREMIERSHIP. That was occurring at St kilda, until early April 2024. Bassat very well may some valid points. But if this is the hill he wishes to die on, he needs to hand the presidency over to someone who does NOT want to be the "Victorian clubs mouth piece". A club president must put the improvement of his club first, and the erosion of other clubs a distant second. EVERYTHING must be pointed at winning. Another great example of a club whining about external stuff is Sydney. In 2012, they looked like becoming a juggernaut. Then the sooking started - interstate clubs having to travel (didn't hurt the lions last year), cost of living etc etc. They haven't won a flag since.

@darcyio_ @CalTwomey So which team is he cutting it up for?

@CalTwomey looooool, this is the team who had nga's and didn't even take them last year. Adrian Cole?

Exclusive - St Kilda has called on the AFL to abolish Northern Academies before this year's draft and replace them with Next Generation Academy zones. Saints president Andrew Bassat and CEO Carl Dilena fronted the AFL Commission last week. Full details 👉afl.com.au/news/1346804/s…

@NationFirstAust Believe any of this and you are just fucking dumb.

They didn’t win your heart. They imported new voters. Albanese flooded Australia with over a million migrants—then rushed thousands into citizenship just in time to enrol them. This wasn’t policy. It was a rigged election in slow motion. 🧵 1/12

@WhiteHouse @nytimes @ChrisVanHollen How fucking childish.

Fixed it for you, @NYTimes. Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen — he’s NOT coming back.

@RonFilipkowski What they don’t understand is Chinese culture and the impact that loss of face will have and therefore the Chinese will never back down.

All the MAGA moronic hot takes yesterday were about how Trump supposedly outmaneuvered Xi and China would be forced to surrender to the Orange Dipshit. They are far better prepared for a trade war than these incompetents in the WH, and are showing that now.
