I think my favourite was “informative, insightful and presented in an entertaining style“, closely followed by the random capitals. The hangar (or the NEC Hangar to use it‘s hilariously real name) is a grim joint. The copious amount of black wood chips in the landscaping gives me a bad vibe.

No thanks. The coteries are the demons, as far as I can tell.

Yeah it wouldn’t have hurt. Hardly surprising, but the whole saga doesn’t smack of how to run a club to me. Might need more poorly written emails from Dean Solomon to past players to whip us into shape.

Bombers should have taken the deal. The club would be better off without a captain who wants to leave so much that he calls the president begging for it.

The coroner told the NT government in 2007 to keep a database about maintenance in public housing. It didn’t listen.

The Victorian DPP is appealing Erin Patterson‘s sentence on the basis it was “manifestly inadequate”.

On 8 September, Patterson was sentenced to life with a non-parole period of 33 years for the murders of Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson, and the attempted murder of Ian Wilkinson.

Reckon this could be the seismic shift we need to actually sort our shit out? I’m on the fence. Could make it all worse. Also perplexed that the club thought Zach was going to be the saviour when there were warning signs dating back five years that it was always more about him than the team.

In 2023, I spent a few months investigating why so many Aboriginal pedestrians were killed in road accidents in the NT. There was a lingering sense that racism played a part in this over representation, and that some drivers were dehumanising Aboriginal people. And lo: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...
