@JimThom90458694 Houses are being built faster than the population increases. It's been that way for at least 15 years.

That's just a fact

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@Thomo_Grant very clear messaging

People can agree or disagree, but you explained your rationale clearly and logically

@2020digging @JakeNiallTHEAGE @essendonfc @AFL 100%
Sheedy should've been tasked with finding his successor during his last contract

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@2020digging @JakeNiallTHEAGE @essendonfc @AFL I doubt it's true

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@ScooterMcNeice that would be fair enough

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@ScooterMcNeice Brad Scott was heavily pushed by the AFL as head coach. Dons tried that and it's been an utter failure.
I think a handout is absolutely fair now

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@rohan_connolly it's not the same though

all non-Melbourne teams have a home ground advantage and end up with a better win/loss

and Longmire inherited a strong side with a good culture (one that he helped develop)

I understand your point, but it's not the same

@DarrenAdams1967 @AusPoll6 Interesting point, if we link migration to housing construction, we increase migration.....

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@BWJacksonX @AusPoll6 @huntersnintendo the housing crisis has little to do with migration (or supply)

we've been building more homes than we need for at least 15 years

there's plenty of empty properties around the country, but over 25 years they've been collected by a minority of owners due to systemic issues

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@mauricebilli @AusPoll6 Almost as if the spike was the post covid rebound where previously approved people arrived on delay, along with the return of short term visa holders and student who all left

And now it's normalised

If we don’t explain science to the public, others will fill the gap with nonsense.

@ScooterMcNeice Have to say I thought Robey had a few poor efforts early. The kid will be very good I think, but there's hints of poor habits

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@Wallyfromwyndh1 @ScooterMcNeice Murdock and Reid were both flopping about

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@FlightPlanPod TBF of the 3 coaches you mentioned, Rutten was the only one who tried to bring the club together, and the Board let him down

Worsfold was always at arms length

Brad was very much about making it his club his way, which Barham backed him to do, at the expense of everyone else.

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@AnthP_ @justaflanker11 Jones has a contract for next year and is returning from a long-term injury

Only reason he goes is if the former coach had demanded the 2 year deal

I think Gerryn is at more risk than Jones

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@FlightPlanPod Could it be that most people have never seen him play?

Jack Watts was one of the most hyped "generational talent" No1 picks ever, probably more so than Harley Reid

I don't think the average fan has a clue

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@simongerman600 A true Brit would measure distance in chains

[quick sprint @sprint_quick]

@ScooterMcNeice His set shots are actually quite accurate from the corridor.

But outside the posts his conversion is just deplorable.

The team targets him so often, he just has to convert better

@WariorFanAkumpo @Kyptastic1 Was there really a Nathan????
It sounds made up. Imagine their poor mother

@Kyptastic1 Hawthorn vs Essendon AFLW at Docklands?
Weren't they twins?
