Hope he has a good year, hope the players show him the support and respect he deserves as a head coach and is given every opportunity to succeed.

Starting pre-season now is absolute ludicrous.

Can only end in tears.

Hamstring tears, agree.

seeing some real salty cow and port supporters online because the suns got the players they wanted....

Good work by the suns

Has been brilliant hasn't it.

Absolutely love it the amount of F**K you Gold Coast, Your an irrelevant club GC posts getting around on Facebook.

And the sheer collective arrogance in thinking they will walk back to SA in two years

There is literally over three decades of peer-reviewed research that demonstrates when coaches that emphasize skill development and mastery, youth are more likely to show positive outcomes whereas coaching behaviours that emphasize winning and comparisons with others are associated with negative outcomes including anxiety and stress, conflict with peers, less sportsman-like behaviour, and negative developmental outcomes.

Skin fold tests hold more weight than ability.

Bullsh!t, 20 years ago maybe but not now. In some cases (very much the minority) higher than normal skinfolds (60-80 sum 7) can help you get drafted as an AFL club knows that there is an easy development opportunity there to get you better - get ready to run young fella....

In that context though you would need to have elite skills, decision making or the ability to play KPP though for the club to over look a bit of "conditioning"

Ability/Skills (in the context of being able to play in a variety of positions) and character are very much the metrics AFL clubs will draft you by with speed and aerobic power in the mix too.

I think you've missed a great opportunity to appreciate my pun.

I wonder if Fed Libs have figured out that nasty wedge politics that uses race to win votes doesn't fly with voters any more.

Needs a core and top dress for starters

Clarke had me until he said "..if he was talented enough or courageous enough to make it onto a cricket pitch...".

**** you Michael Clarke, very few of us are talented enough to play for Australia, even less of us the honor of captaining our country and to suggest Whateley's opinion is any less valid because he never "made it onto a pitch" is bullshit.

Once a wanker, always a wanker. Clarke has always been poison

What did Matt do?

Resources Minister Matt Canavan said he wanted children in school learning about how to build mines, do geology and how to drill for oil and gas, "which is one of the most remarkable science exploits in the world".

"These are the type of things that excite young children and we should be great at as a nation," he told 2GB on Friday.

"Taking off school and protesting? You don't learn anything from that. The best thing you'll learn about going to a protest is how to join the dole queue. Because that's what your future life will look like, up in a line asking for a handout, not actually taking charge for your life and getting a real job."

It's funny how idealogically driven climate science deniers have the temerity to suggest that high school kids are being 'indoctrinated'....with science :roll:

We digress though. Let's focus on Craig Kelly's outburst and episode 137 of the Unhinging of the Libs.

Renshaw in.

Going to fall short by the margin of one of our top six actually hitting a ton this match

Solid stump mic banter

First over, bounce already inconsistent.

Can we bat for 2 sessions? That's the key. Bat for 2 more sessions and that pitch is going to turn into a Virat Kohli (A ******* big headed ****)
If Virat was an Aussie we'd be voting him in for PM, we're a fickle lot [emoji38] [emoji38] Rubbish. We lambast Warner for carrying on like a flog, but it's okay when Kohli does it?

Novelties tend to wear off.

Would've been nice to win the toss at Sydney or Melbourne to see how we batted on some the most docile pitches I've ever seen served up for the first two days of a match in Australia. Curators doing their best to ensure matches go into a fifth day.

I'll forgive the snoozefests if I get to see Harris or Head hit a century tomorrow.

Patience is extremly difficult to train. We see this in the health and fitness industry all the time, it’s easy to train one on how to do a bench press or dead lift but extremly extremly hard to encourage/train and motivate one to continue training the amount of time required to see results.

From my understanding patience is generally taught at an extremly early developmental age and even if one becomes more patient as a teenager/adult their preference is to still not be patient

We live in a fast food society unfortunately. The amount of times I will have someone and in a lot of cases 13-25 year olds message our work Facebook page to then send a secondary message 5 minutes later saying ?????. This despite the fact it’s generally at 9,10,11pm

Patience is also genetically expressed. But social patience isn't the same as being patient in the middle of a cricket pitch at an elite level of sport - that is something that can be trained via time spent in the middle of a cricket pitch at an elite level of sport.

When was the last time we went a home test series without someone scoring a century?

And heres the answer to your question re patience and concentration and the Aussie cricketer.

Harris had a ton on toast. Brain fade.
Head has ability... every innings this series he has made a start. Yet he has a litany of brain fades that are surely concentration lapses.
The list of examples is endless.
A great example of mindset would be to compare the leaves of Indian batsmen compared to ours. If we leave two we feel a compulsion to belt the next.

India are showing on the field what is required for Test cricket. But its the struggles that these guys overcame to get to Test level that sets them above us. Ours do not want to do the hard yards. It's the same generation who is walking away from SANFL footy aged 25 to play country footy. They aint interested in pushing themselves when the rewards are ample with less work required.

Aussie culture is softer than that of India. And the result is on show atm. Harris and Head have ten tests between them and you expect them to bat with the mastery of Pujara?

You're the one lacking patience.

Mate you are proving my point. Harris is 26 and Head is 25. Guys that age were much more advanced in Aussie Test teams 15 yrs ago.
And just to further my point about this being a cultural phenomenon... Pant showed plenty of patience in his knock yesterday. Age... 21.
Privthi Shaw has played two tests for India against England IN England. Scored 134 in one hit. Age... 18.
I aint comparing Head and Harris to Pujara. I am comparing the youngest team members of both sides... and the Indian 18 to 21 yr olds have far more patience and concentration than the Aussies in their mid 20s.

Hardly - a couple of anecdotal examples isn't the same as robust statistical evidence.

The only cultural phenomenon likely to be witnessed is that the statistical probability that India's population of 1.3 billion produced generationally gifted cricketers completely dwarfs the statistical probability of Australia's 25 million population being able to produce them.

There's some quality on social media, isn't there?

Fraser Anning uses tax payer money to attend Neo-Nazi rally

"He's a racist, he's supporting Nazi's and he shouldn't have used taxpayer money"

"What about SHY, she used taxpayer money to see whales with her daughter and she's fat"
The extreme right and left clash via social media. It's honestly a call to arms for all our problems in politics.

Both cases should not have used tax payer funds. It's Bronwyn Bishop all over again.
Yeah, I don't think opposing a neo nazi really could really be described as extreme left.
We have consensus here! https://i.gifer.com/6B2G.gif

The parlous state of modern "music".

Don't @ me with "You're old, get with it man", today's music is ******* shit. I tuned into the Hottest 100 on Sunday from number 30 odd to number 12 or so, it's ******* shit. Depressing, melodramatic, shit.

One strum of a guitar, wail some painfully incomprehensible bollocks, beat a synthesized drum once or twice, strum again, wail some more, ******* repeat.

I love music, I can picture myself in numerous settings listening to numerous genre's, from metal to hip hop to rock'n'roll to dance to classical and anywhere in between. But this shit these deconstructed smashed avocado with GF bread, skinny almond milk latte, beard balm using, jeans ripped at the knees with no ******* socks and out of shape cheap fedora with stupid sunglasses from a dress up store wearing clowns listen to is crap.

Don't @ me with "You're old, get with it man", if one, just one artist could get inspired enough to use a 2/4 or 4/4 beat in a track, perhaps make some sense so I can at least under stand them then I'll get on board.

DON'T @ ME!

Jean is retired with a large self-managed super fund. She receives $29,810 in dividends from bank shares and $130,000 from other assets. As the fund is in the pension phase, and pays $0 tax. Jean is currently entitled to a $12,775 rebate. Under Labor, Jean would lose that.

Welfare for the rich. Another sign of how out of touch the LIbs are with ordinary Australian's.

It’s not before the election we have to worry about.
It’s the $200bn in new and increased taxes afterwards
Bowen thinks he’s a reincarnation of Keating - he wants the second “recession we had to have” What new taxes might these be?

You sound like a Murdoch hack with the recession fear mongering

Keep the personal abuse out of it thanks Q

As far as I know, the Financial Review is not owned by Murdoch

https://www.afr.com/news/economy/chris-bowen-touts-200b-tax-hike-buffer-against-global-headwinds-20190122-h1abj4 Its behind a paywall. But I've read others like it where they include removing negative gearing, removing franking credit tax refunds etc. as "new taxes" in the 200bn - which is shoddy journalism

The last Labor govt saved us from a recession, so it's just pure fear mongering to suggest that electing them will lead to one

Epic choke

This government is up to their eyeballs in corruption. Nobbling the NBN on behalf of Rupert, hindering renewable investment on behalf of Gina, billions of taxpayer money shuffled into detention centre contracts, Cash tip off on AFP raid of AWU, Parakeelia & Paladin rorts, GBR Foundation rort, Dutton au pairs saga - the list goes on and on...

Probably the worst and most corrupt government in Australian history.

One other major change to be implemented next year will be a tightening of the holding the ball rule, with the player who has possession of the ball to be penalised more often if there is seen to be a prior opportunity or if there is not a genuine attempt to dispose of the ball.


Except during finals where they won't pay a single HTB :roll:

I'm in @Rik E Boy. Sorry for the tardiness, life has been hectic.

Yeah, Downer isn't biased at all. Still clinging to the myth of Libs being good economic managers and repeating the lie that Labor are introducing 387 bil of new taxes. Pathetic.

The base of the op ed was to review election history but thank you for proving my point anyway.
BTW, the AFR keep clinging to that “lie” as well. Probably because Bowen confirmed it in an interview with them. But, hey, the AFR and Coorey are so right wing. Maybe if you expanded your reading from The Big Issue and Labor press releases you might learn something.

I've read Coorey's article and he backs up my point that these are not new taxes.

$150 bil is Labor scrapping tax breaks in the 24/25 budget that goes to the wealthiest 5% (ie. $11k tax relief for those earning over $250k).

It's laughable that you ask me to read alternative sources when you're a walking Coalition press release yourself.
