The Sydney Swans Bomber Contest
How many times did the Swan’s players give the ball to Essendon via silly disrupted handpasses and poor kicks? I counted at least 25 times and it could have been more. It is hard to…
Big Money & Sport: It Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up To Be!

Hey Sydney, Stop Hugging & Start Contesting Like You Mean It
Concerning video footage has confirmed what I suspected. Sydney Swans players are hugging and embracing each other prior to running out on the field. Now, I am all for public displays of affection at the…
Sydney Swan’s Defence Is A Leaky Boat
The Sydney Swan’s defence is a leaky boat. These defenders just don’t defend enough when it matters. Tom McCartin standing off when his player is free, resulting in goals to Adelaide. Too many Sydney defenders…
The Sydney Swans’ Downhill Skiers
The accusations are coming quick and hot – ‘they can’t win the premiership!’ ‘Swans just not good enough!’ The Sydney Swans’ downhill skiers. Too many players running ahead looking for the easy option rather than…
Start Asking Some Hard Questions
You know there are a lot of people who just use technology without questioning its provenance. The smart phone and those apps become their new normal. Well, ‘stupid is as stupid does’, to quote a…
Billionaires Have Never Been Less Popular
Did you know that in the ancient world there were regular examples of public debt forgiveness? Yes, even in those more brutal times elites recognised the dangers of social discordance. The masses were more likely…
Billionaires Funding The Far Right
Populism of the Far Right variety is not some natural occurrence or trend happening at the moment. It is an artificially fed and funded campaign coming from the United States and billionaire money. Reform in…
LIV Golfers Took The Money
LIV golfers took the money and turned their back on the PGA Tour, make them pay to come back. All this talk about losing the stars of the game is crap. Jon Rahm and Bryson…
Why Copying America Is Bad For Australia
What can we learn from the current political situation in America? Further to that, what ramifications does that potentially have for Australians? There is no denying that Australia tends to follow the United States in…
Watching The Football In The Age Of Armchair Experts

Sydney Swans In 2026
Here is my take on the Sydney Swans in 2026. Sydney Swans coach Dean Cox seems like a ripping bloke. A very likable chap who once was the greatest ruckman of his era. Now, in…
Paper Thin Patriots Thick On The Ground Downunder
Driving through a town/suburb the other day I felt sorry for the residents in that area. Dementia and mental illness is a scourge in Australia. Imagine being so easily confused that you are forced to…
Change The System To Catch These Cheats
Companies are cheating the tax system in Australia and around the world. Corporations are taxed on the profits they generate. To minimise these profits companies are shifting their profits via IP charges on their balance…
Trump Is An Economic Vandal
A whole bunch of selfish Americans elected a convicted felon and compulsive liar to the presidency for the second time. Trump is an economic vandal. This unhinged fool has started a war with the Iranians…
The Monoculture Rendition Of What It Means To Be Australian
At the golf course, I all too frequently meet the monoculture rendition of what it means to be Australian. The One Nation version of it, now gaining in renewed popularity, according to some in the…
Sydney Swans Season 2026 Opening Round Game
I am writing this as a long time Swans supporter. The Sydney Swans season 2026 opening round game was a tale of two halves in extremis. I must admit I was cursing Dean Cox at…
Young Women On His Operating Table Were Cash Cows
I have rarely been so angry as I was watching Four Corners the other night. The ABC investigatory programme exposed a Victorian surgeon, Simon Gordon, who was allegedly operating on patients in a fraudulent manner.…
Petrol Prices Rising Thanks To Trump
Fuel costs are shooting up downunder because of the United States sending battleships into the Middle East. Petrol prices rising thanks to Trump. American and Israeli interest in attacking Iran is at the root of…
