I’d be more focused on your own mob

Doing that bad a job they are making One Nation relevant

Can't agree

I think the Libs and Nats are the reason One Nation are suddenly relevant....conservatives are looking for anything that resembles what conservative politics used to be... One Nation gives them that, Susssssan Leys and David Littleidea don't.

One Nation are brilliant at playing the fear card, the "this is why your lot in life is so tough card" without giving any hint of a solution.

And BTW When political parties are imploding the other side don't actually need to do anything, they just need to sit back and enjoy the show

2020 and 2017 were our 2 best flags.
2017 simply because of our dominance in the finals and the arrival of both game plan and key players.

2020 was extraordinary - not just because of COVID. Lost our way early in the season, regaines mojo, lost that first final, won what I thought was our best finals game of the lot against all odds vs Port and then won a truly epic GF with Vlas, Bachar and Broad all going down in that first qtr.
Got owned in that second qtr and then ground our way back into the game with touches of individual brilliance by the games best ever finals player.

How that premiership team isn’t in top 3 or 4 is completely beyond me.
By any measure, it was a remarkable effort by an extraordinary team.

Another US citizen is executed in cold blood by Trump's hired thugs and the whole Trump administration lies about it despite it all being caught on video from multiple angles. The USA is spiraling down into a dark space  .

Mind elaborating?

I don't watch the news much.

ICE agents basically focusing on anti-Trump states and making life very difficult

They murdered a woman in Minnesota a few weeks ago and flat out executed another bloke yesterday

Little did they know , the guy that murdered yesterday is an intensive care nurse at a Veterans hospital ..

Pinned to the ground , already unarmed, and flat out executed

Yep, shot him and as he bled out they shot him 5 more times for good measure.

The Governor of Minnesota, Tim Waltz was Kamala Harris' running mate at the last election. Coincidence? Doubt it Minnesota clearly being targeted by Trump and ICE

And just on another issue created by the Orange Sumbag, his comments about NATO allies not supporting the USA and not being on the front line last week were disgusting and pathetic. Our government's wet lettuce response to his comments equally so.

Not sure how anyone can defend or support this vile human being

In 2017, we pretty much revolutionised the way footy was played (so much so that subsequent premiers have copied our "chaos footy"). We also won all 3 finals by a minimum of six goals.

Interesting where Cornes puts 2019. We lost Rance in the first round and the media wrote us off. We copped a stack of injuries and pretty much had a team of Lynch with a bunch of untried cubs for the first half of the year. From memory we were 7-6 at one stage and out of the Eight. Once we got our senior players back, we won 12 straight and won the GF by 15 goals.

For 2019 and 2020, we also had learnt to pace ourselves to win flags after learning the hard way in 2018 of the perils of peaking too early in a season.

Last sentence is so true.

Some non-Tiger noobs think 2018 was our best year aside from not winning the flag.

I say look again. The results really flattered us.

Without that loss in the PF I doubt we'd win 19-20. Maybe we'd have gone B2B if we got past the Pies, but that would have been it IMO.

Menzies must be turning in his grave over what has happened to his party and the now noalition. If clueless Angus Taylor is their likely answer, then they are asking the wrong question lol. The LNP are a rabble.

I reckon Iron Bob would be joining One Nation
