Extension for liddle

 

[Baze]

Yep, like i posted earlier it was just a matter of finding common ground between the two parties. There was never any issues between MM and the Tigers.

For those asking about Liddle, it's an extension of his current contract. They want to tie him up longer term before he starts commanding bigger $$$.

Good. We don't need a Mitchell Moses. No more contract releases

I just can't fathom this generation of players.

It's the same with this current generation "it's all about me"
The same with younger people these days they want a 5 bedroom 3 car garage house with the 4wheel drive the wife's Audi in the driveway the speed boat jet Ski and motorcycle and they want it now.

Never heard any of the younger generation asking for that. I have heard them ask for a 3 bedroom house that doesn't leak and that doesn't require 1 and half hour commute each day. Problem is all these properties have been bought up as investment properties by the most selfish generation in history - boomers. The same generation that now has somehow conned this govt to give them a windfall to downsize.

Southern Tiger, you do not know what you are talking about. I am a so called "selfish" boomer. I have worked all my life from the age of 141/2\. Saved for a small house, commuted to work by train and bus etc. A lot of shift work, starting at 10pm, 4pm, 6am etc. Saved again for kids and superannuation so as not to be a burden on future generations ( including my own kids and grandchildren ).

I have now retired and enjoying what we have saved for over the years. Stop bashing people that you know nothing about. I do not know how old you are, but maybe your parents are also boomers.

Advice to young people, save your money. Less coffee and grog, no gap year, no big flash wedding, no double story four bedroom houses. You can get along without a pool or media room and even two cars. If you cannot afford a house in the city in which you live, think about moving to somewhere that you can afford. Look after yourself and leave others to look after themselves.

Here, Here!!!!!

Well it's against the law not to operate in English. They should have their license taken away. And it's much more than 2%. No idea who gets that number, and they're mostly in the million dollar bracket not the 5mil+… The other issue is the many people that buy houses with the sole intention of renovating it and selling it for a profit. There should be much stronger rules against this as this is who denies young families by outbidding them, using the profit made from their last house to cover the overs they pay for the next and so on. Utterly ridiculous situation.

But i'm not sure, are we signing a chinese real estate agent? Is that what the lurker was implying?

You don't mind toeing into people you don't know and generalising anyone who isn't in your generation Col, how about you follow your own advice?

In regard to what you and Southern have both said, the truth is a varied spectrum between you have both said.

^ This pretty much describes me as well. What young folk need to understand is it can take 30 or 40 years to get financially established and it requires a degree of humility when starting out. Get a job (or two), save, don't piss it against the wall and get a deposit on anything as early as you can.

I live with three gen y"s that have seen more of the world in their twenties than I have in double that amount of years - and selfish me when I pass on they will benefit from my selfish ways of ensuring that I financed my own retirement without burdening them or the tax payers, while also passing on a handy little inheritance.

 

[Geo]

Matt McIlwrick doesn't strike me as a stereotypical gen y type…very humble who has worked hard at every Club he has been at and appreciative of the shot we have given him....the lurker dribble that some seemed to have believed to slag on he guy as being ungrateful or typical of this generation of players is why he keeps his job...

Giving the drugs up would save some money too :laughing:

G'day mate,

I love how you start off with telling me not to bash boomers and then end by bashing young people.

BTW, none of your last para applies to me or any of my friends. My friends and I work between 50 to 70 hours a week (I usually get to work at 7am and leave at 8.30pm at the earliest, so leave home at 5.45am and get home at 9.30pm), live in the suburbs in modest homes (yes commute by train or bus), go out for drinks very rarely and have 1 car or possibly 2, but only if needed for work. Unlike your generation, as a father I am also expected to be an active co-parent and my wife is expected (and needs) to work. I think you need to stop bashing people you know nothing about.

I will bash the boomers who dictate government policy in a way that favours them, which they clearly have in the last 20 years.

Mate you have had it lucky, no matter what you think. The golden age, never to be repeated.

Its not your fault, and nothing personal against you, you just lucked out.

Thats not suggesting you haven't worked hard, of course you have, but your generation (admittedly, not necessarily you) have also benefited from some of the most favourable policies in Australian history - free education, limitless tax free super savings, negative gearing, discounted capital gains - the list goes on.

And now all we hear about is what you guys deserve to get in retirement. What has your generation left us with? Eroded beaches, depleted natural resources, a housing system that is completely broken, a structural fiscal deficit and a culture where everyone whinges about lack of govt services but isn't prepared to accept tax increases.

 

[stryker]

LMAO….i love the feud between boomers and millenials. Its the selfish v the lazy, the older generation who stuffed it for the current one, the greedy v the soft gutted snowflakes... Classic stuff.

As a proud gen x member i can confirm you are both right.

Yeah but where do you reckon Matt McIlwrick stands in all of this…Ungrateful..?
