I'm amazed they haven't trotted out the Medi-scare campaign again. Give 'em time but.

It's sad that the electorate falls for it.

A bit disingenuous Skully. The Libs are also guilty of uncosted promises and at a time of ballooning debt have promised unsustainable tax cuts for political expedience and this despite the so-called budget emergency they ran as a scare campaign.  If Labor spends more, it's often because they are are doing something. In Victoria, Andrews for all his criticism from the right, actually gets things done. Meanwhile Guy comes up with pie in the sky programs desperately searching for political relevance.

Forgive me, Red, but that coming from a rusted on Pinko like you hardly rings with any genuineness. The Libs repair the Pinko cocked-up books, then the Pinks fark them up again real quick with their Pinko Maths.

It's pretty easy to repair the books if that is what they do when you do stuff all yourself. The previous Lib state govt. was elected on a platform of public transport, but did nothing except at the last minute signed this perilous deal for the East-West link which voters said they didn't want. They ensured that their business mates profited when Andrews quite rightly discarded the deal which had no business case.

BTW, the whole Libs are better economic managers is a myth. Experts will tell you that Costello wasted the boom times for us, though of course we did spend money funding Howard's marriage with the coalition of the willing. During the Global economic crisis, Labor kept us afloat.  And the same Costello does not agree with the tax cuts the Feds are currently offering. Amazing they can do this amidst a so-called budget emergency which they never repaired.  They prefer to extend the deficit.

Rusted.on.tight.

PMSL. Very easy to "Keep us afloat" when they had a whacking great surplus left by the Libs to spend. Those same Pinkos turned that $50 Bill Surplus into a $250 Bill Deficit in 3 short years and turned our welfare budget into a 3rd world debt-sized monster basket case. Yup, cracking financial managers. Geez Louise, do me a favour.  

A Victorian teacher (as rusted as they come) is the last person that is in a position to give advice on the virtues of the Libs.

Time to get out and do some Vic Pinko fundraising, isn't it?

A surplus generated by a mining boom, which was once in a generation. The economic experts have repeatedly said that that surplus should have been used to build infrastructure for the future, creating jobs as a bonus. Instead anything they spent was on middle class largesse which is now impossible to dismantle without committing political suicide.

I am not a rabid pinko anyway, but am certainly not right of centre. Anyone who votes libs who is not financially endowed or one of their business mates is naive and being conned.

I don't care what people think of my political views and generally their assertions on people's credentials in this area are aligned with their voting allegiances in any case. Most people here seem to be right wing and probably think that trickle-down economics works.

We are consistently playing the best football in the AFL but we arent unbeatable

The last team to beat the Tiggers at the G was the Bloods. Tiggers are in great form and will canter in the Grannie.

Six of the round's winners were non Vic teams. McGuire will demand an Inquiry and the AFL will accede.

I'm very happy my mob got up. Half of today's team are NEAFL standard players plus we lost Kennedy before half time.

Really pleased the Pies copped a hiding. They finally met an above average team. McGuire whine about the need for the draw to be better organised.

Time for the Mule to contemplate another career.

Even given 12 of our players debuted in past two and a half years, there are no factors that excuse this loss.
