Early days and a lot will change. I also criticise Geebubs when they deserve it so want to be fair.

11th edition is off to a great start and could end up being the best edition yet.

Hopefully they fix the toe into dense terrain thingy but everything else is looking very promising.

Walsh "Dean we need you to take over as caretaker, tank and add legitamicy to the Coaching selection process because the guy we will replace you with put the club in a bad position we are still struggling to recover from".

Now all supermarket mince is crap compared to genuine butchers' mince but I usualy buy my meat at Coles as they have bought my livestock previously and do have decent meat (IGA's in the country usually the best).

Bought the lowest grade mince from Woolies and its listed as 18% fat. Usually buy 3 star from Coles for 50c more 500 grams.

Most supermarket mince has analogues and ian't hung long enough and a lot of water cooks out.

The Woolies mince cooked up very badly with a lot more water and fat. I reckon I get about 450 grams of meat solids out of a Coles Mince but the Woolies mince left about 100 grams of fat rendered out into the pan and then the water cooked out.

Reckon I got about 350 grams of eatable meat out of the Woolies pack. Absolute crap quality too.

Also the maths doesn't add up. A female cow has marginally more fat than a boy. Time of year and diet will affect carcass fat but its usually 12-18% max and modern genetics target feed conversion efficency as well as intramuscular fat.

Also the vast majority of beef is Steers.

So very few carcasses have 18% fat. Grain feed female cows will have the highest.

Now I swear I tasted pork in my beef mince, I wouldn't be suprised if there was imported pig fat rendered into a analogue to add to the beef mince. I understand there are hybrid minces but this is not listed as a hybrid mince.

Also grain feed beef, with modern genetics, has a lot of this 12-18% as intra muscular fat. Wagyu is prized for this feature.

Wagyu is not being used for these supermarket cuts, so how are they consistently hitting 18% fat on their low grade mince? Sure some cuts have lower than 5% fat but for me this all doesn't add up.

Eifher way its terrible mince and they should pull their heads out of their asses and make a decent product for the tonnes of this crap they sell each week.

With the confirmed cases of H5 now in Australia there are a few things we can do to protect our pets, help farmers and native birds.

​

A. Don't feed birds anymore. Anywhere they can gather in large numbers for feeding will be a risk to them. Lots of people in Urban areas dump bread at parks ect. This was always really bad for birds and is now even worse.

​

B. Keep your cats inside. Sick birds are easy targets. H5 is very dangerous to cats.

​

C. Dogs on leashes. I have a 12 year old Kelpie with a bung shoulder. She's on the leash now.

​

D. If you see a bunch of dead birds take a photo and let the DSE, DPI or relevant authorities know.

​

E. Sick or injured birds. Use a towel and wear a mask. Obviously if its an area without reports and a non migration local bird, its probably not H5.

​

The government is quite prepared for this but the community has the biggest role to play and if we all do our bit we will be fine.

Hello DockStars Fans!

​

Have fallen in love with your team and have a recomendation for a slight tweak to the club song.

​

"We're the Rollers and the Rockers,

We're the might Freo Dock Stars,

Gonna send 'em to the bottom,

Gonna wharfie time all on 'em,

Luke Jackson! F@#k the Weagles!

C'mon c@#t's it Wharfie time..Again! AGAIN!

​

*Main verse.

​

I was debating including swearing or not, but think its culturally appropriate.

​

Love what you guys are serving up week to week and best of luck for thr rest of the season.

Haven't always gambled responsibly but I took a break and sorted it out.

Now I am quitting for good. I've been both a lucky and unlucky punter over 10 years and wanted to share some observations.

-It affects your borrowing capacity very badly.

-Its bad fpr your health.

-The bookies will close down wining accounts.

-You won't be able to get a really big bet on if you want to.

-Cash out won't always be available and they will degrade their offers based on your winning history.

-The AFL, & to a lesser extent the NRL, do things to make the competition even.

-Match fixing is a big issue and happens. Spot bet fixing is rife.

-Sport is a lot more fun without betting, it can also be a lot more boring. Do something else than watch 13th v 16th.

-Wining is just as bad for your mental health as loosing. Its actually worse in some ways.

-Its inherintley corruptive and corrupts our polictics and sport. Its a shadey industry with exploitation at its core, it does ruin lives and betting enables that to happen to others.

This is coming from a guy who owns his own house 100% and is never, ever going to loose it because the NRL & AFL has official wagering sponsors that get far too much of a say, and influence, in sport.

I heard from a mate's mate that the players go onto triple time penalties, with a 25% leave loading and 10 hours overtime built in during Wharfie time.

Its off chops regardless and fun to watch.

Firstly I am one of those Aussies that likes America a lot. Have been blessed to travel there frequently and have meet some amazing people and have seen some amazing sights (still hope to see and meet a lot more).

Something has been bothering me a lot and this is a genuine question. Why do Maga Americans believe President Trump is Christian?

Now I am not perfect and I don't have a right to judge anyone but the world, and America, is suffering a lot because of the American Christian right's support for President Trump.

Most Christian's could quote a dozen passages from the bible to cast a very strong doubt over President Trump's faith.

"It's easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven" would be a well know example (Australian media has President Trump's busniess empire as +6.5 billion dollars as of Jan 2026).

"Love thy neighbour" is another.

I just don't see it. What am I missing?

Is it a lack of understanding of genuine Christian values?

Is it a 'saved' moment I missed? Did he renounce his former life as a NY real estate agent and repent?

Is American Christianity so lost and disconnected that it thinks it needs a saviour and would project that desire onto a candidate that makes the claim?

Is he just that generous of a person on a local level, a good grass roots delegate, that its not all that important?

I'd love to hear some peoples thought's on this as I really can't find an example of President Trump actually putting a faith in practice, let alone Christianity.
