David Seymour described smokers as “fiscal heroes” during a speech to a neoliberal thinktank in London this month: ““If you want to save your country’s balance sheet, light up, because … lots of excise tax, no pension.”

Two aspects are defining the Diles era at Melbourne Victory for me. 1. Not making the most of obvious goal scoring opportunities. 2. Poor defensive lapses leading to goals.
