Let's do our best to help Bucks continue on to immortality

23 years and counting: Bucks on verge of longest wait

Nathan Buckley has broken a few records in his decorated AFL career, but here's one he'll be keen to avoid as a matter of urgency

www.afl.com.au

I looked up Wikipedia out of curiosity. Lyon has been involved in 434 games as a player/ coach without a flag. Figgy is on 464. Clubhouse leader by a mile isn't he? Hopefully he gets the double in both games and years. He would be an immortal then

Watched that entire match last night. .... have an unhealthy, bordering on perverse desire, seeing the pies lose again!
I know we're the inclusive club but gee, I'd struggle to barrack for us if we had Cox in the team.
He's virtually a cicus act, and possibly the most smug bloke in the game..... headwobbler!

That's cos he's a Seppo and most of their sportsman are like that.

Look at the NFL blokes and their carry on.

Buckley giving the PM some advice on Twitter


“Leadership is hard. Put your hand up and accept what could have been done better, by you and by others,” Buckley tweeted.

“Then accept the vitriol, the hurt and the pain. Listen, understand and empathise. Then take action. Firstly for today and then for tomorrow.”

Amen to Pope Figgy. I bow to your greatness.

Steady on TigerForce, Figgy deserves some praise, but i think you've gone overboard

Hopefully Figgy can continue to practice what he preaches by continuing to fail his masses thus unleashing the hurt and pain and they unleash the inevitable vitriol back at him and Edwardo the Red Face......................... He of Many Chins.

What is buckley saying that LoCo should embrace failure and finish 2nd?

Great advice, although i dont reckon LoCo will have much say in it.

Bucks has more in common with Bill shorten

His 'speeches' are as forced as they come.

Then when he comes second, write it off as a waste of time...

Gil McLachan is in shock
Eddie shook his head in disbelief.
They both agreed unless the carpet burns there's room to sweep some ashes.
But I'm in full agreement with what Buckley tweeted, but he forgets they're politicians he's offering advice to.
What happened to the 2009 fire aftermath Commission ? Was it for the public? How many of the findings were taken onboard and auctioned?

Serious flog be Figgy. Obviously doesn't have much to keep himself amused over summer. Not busy winning a flag for Colonwood at the moment so he's decided to help ScoMo run the country part time.

[/QUOTE]
Same as happens to every intellectual expert scientific commission the politicians have ever held. There'll be a year or two of posturing n looking serious, millions of taxpayer dollars pissed down the drain. Thousands of pages of findings n reports that will get buried in the cupboard until such time as the mandatory 20 years has passed n they can be released from the Govt archives for further expert n introspected analysis in hindsight.
All so the politicians can look n sound important n interactive while nothing gets done while waiting for the next unforeseen disaster to come flying around the corner at 300kph.

The problem with this of course is that we don't have a nationwide fire policy.

The state Govt. owns that, including the lack of fuel reduction which was a key recommendation in the reports following 2009, along with expanding the DFA by at least 40%, but instead we gutted it.

I'm not sure how Scott Morrison ended up in the firing line aside from not predicting the fires a few months in advance.

It seems to have started with Australia's efforts regarding Climate Change but that's the biggest herring being pushed by the left.

The Paris Agreement puts not constraints on China and India. They come under the agreement in 2030, but have a catch all excuse even then which is that if they believe taking action will cause poverty, then they don't have to.

So in effect, as the west starts relying on the more expensive renewable power sources, business if forced to do more manufacturing from China and India and a few other countries where coal fired electricity is in greater use. We lose jobs, they gain them. We are cleaner, but considering these other countries have no environmental policy to speak of, the net result is more pollution than before we started. It's like the UN with their IPCC think the west lives in a self contained bubble.

In reality, we are making ourselves poorer, making the Chinese richer then watching them come out here and drive our house prices through the roof, forcing many Australians out of the market.

It's probably summed up best by Dr Ottmar Endenhofer (IPCC Co-Chair of working group 3 ) in an interview on Nov 13 , 2010 when he said the following:-

We (UN-IPCC) redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. Thie has nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore"!

Anyone on here type this?

Its extremely simple, even ignoring climate change as an issue.

1. he refused to meet with a delegation of fire chiefs who wanted to brief him about what is now happening.

2. He went on a secret holiday to hawaii to drink mojitos, while his country burnt.

Or maybe it’s because the Greens need to blame someone for their culpability.
Blaming the P.M is an awesome strategy to confuse the ill informed and redirect what the real causes are. Meanwhile the fuel will continue to sit on the forest floor waiting for the next arsonist to light a match.

Aah, you must be right, after all it is the party with a few cross-benchers which controls the place, not those in government with executive authority and control of the purse strings. How could I have been misled to think that those in power are responsible for what the government does?

Um, nuh.
