Western United Club Statement share.google/CCIAo0mFOnZD3H… The unselfconscious perverse delusion which comes with privilege. This company, which bought a place at the top table 5 mins ago, insults the 🇦🇺 ⚽️ pioneer clubs speaking of its struggle, resilience, adversity, community.

Gotta hand it to the AFL and AFL Women's Conflated women's struggle for equality in sport with playing AFL. MSM has bought in 100%. Splashed everywhere. Girls unable to access ovals & fields in days gone by = footy grounds ABC Melbourne. Now footy has saved them. Dominant culture

Now AFL Women's has begun, Collingwood FC get to lose twice a week! Love it!

Western Utd Club Statement share.google/VSBr7J7VP8YKXd… How can Football Australia and Western United FC keep from fans what's happening to their comp? Not only don't we have AL merit-based entry & exit but 'relegation' via licence loss is based on secret regulatory process. Fans on the outer.

Understandable concern by Beau Busch & PFA, but if FA stuck to the 19 May deadline, there'd be only a few teams and no league. FA has said it has worked with many teams to meet the criteria and had to extend the deadline. The teams should be named since fans can't ask the teams.

Full respect for my nemesis in the enduring Melbourne derby. Top coach, players & people in charge. Proper club. Can do it in good times and hard. In top league & in NPL with ceiling & impediments. Strengthen 🇦🇺 ⚽️ & AL teams with rigour of proper comp & NSD. Hope they win it.

On field, the AFL is having a shocker, but off-field it's entertainment +! It took into account Rankine was sad!!! Kinda the point of punishment! Will it upgrade the suspension if the Crows don't make the GF? Give him a credit if he plays, they lose and he's even sadder??

Marinakis looking at Ange? Seeing the tree for the Forest?

..protesters fill the streets in cities across Australia.. theguardian.com/world/2025/aug… Yet police say 10000, whatever the different place & crowd. Why does the media allow police to lie? Size is a key element of a rally and effect of protest. Question. Report. Don't slavishly quote.

Police estimate AFL Grand Final crowd at 10000. Police estimate NRL Grand Final crowd at 10000. Police estimate Matildas World Cup Quarter Final crowd at 10000. Police estimate Melbourne Palestine rally at 10000.

Leading the ABC News ABC Melbourne Media Watch flagship midday news is Patterson's ex husband saying her murders have affected the family, relegating 'sun rises again' to 2nd. Are we serious? Of all the things happening, this? Most important? No wonder we're stuffed.

If house prices are to fall we need laws, an economy & a culture, in which 'homes' aren't commodities. That way, the 'younger folk' won't be competing with investors looking for 'houses', thereby increasing supply and reducing demand. But do we want that? x.com/TheKouk/status…
