Hawks face huge tests as Dons, Eagles battle injuries
KEY STORYLINES TO WATCH FOR IN ROUND 12 OF THE AFL SEASON HAWTHORN FACE DEFINING PERIOD The 'Hollywood Hawks' were premiership favourites after starting the year 4-0, but the hype has dwindled following four defeats in their past seven games. After losing to reigning premier Brisbane, Hawthorn have more tough matches to come against Collingwood, the Western Bulldogs and Adelaide in a stretch that will shape their season. BOMBERS FACE TALL ORDER Already dealing with four season-ending injuries, and important talls Jordan Ridley and Harry Jones being sidelined long-term, Essendon lost Kyle Langford and Zach Reid against Richmond. Brad Scott and his coaching team will have to make some significant shifts in their line-up ahead of a tough trip to Brisbane on Thursday night. CAVALRY COMING FOR HIGH-FLYING MAGPIES After showcasing their depth and ironclad system - and the talent of the Daicos brothers - with a last-quarter demolition of North Melbourne, Collingwood are set to regain players for their match against Hawthorn. Darcy Moore (shoulder), Lachie Schultz (concussion), Jordan De Goey (achilles), Scott Pendlebury (illness), Bobby Hill (personal reasons) and Steele Sidebottom (back) are all chances to be available, but Brayden Maynard (foot) is set for a stint on the sidelines. BLUES SET FOR SOME SOUL SEARCHING Michael Voss isn't ready to give up on Carlton's finals hopes but concedes there's plenty of work ahead for a team that takes a disappointing 4-7 record to its mid-season bye. The Blues, who had lofty ambitions of ending a 30-year premiership drought this season, face an unenviable task to turn their campaign around. ARE WEST COAST DESTINED FOR THE SPOON? West Coast forward Jake Waterman could miss the rest of the season after his shoulder popped out in Sunday's 66-point loss to Adelaide. And with Jeremy McGovern's future in doubt due to concussion, the last-placed Eagles are without their two All-Australians from last year and facing an almighty task against Geelong on Sunday. HAVE FREMANTLE REGAINED THEIR MOJO? The Dockers made it two victories in succession with a 49-point thrashing of Port Adelaide in the wet, with Luke Jackson playing a match-winning role in the ruck. Fremantle's midfield has risen to a new level on the back of Jackson's dominance, but they'll face a huge test against the Suns' star-studded on-ball division at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Lawmakers want to keep 100-year-old Georgia residents from paying income tax
Are you 100 years old or older? If you are, some state lawmakers want to stop you from paying income taxes. Woodstock Rep. Jordan Ridley filed a bill to exempt Georgia centenarians from paying income taxes while living in the state. House Bill 264 says that while income taxes are imposed on every resident of the state of Georgia, beginning retroactively on Jan. 1, 'no such tax is imposed on any resident of this state who has reached the age of 100 or older prior to January 1 of such taxable year.' That means if the bill passes and gets signed into law, any Georgian who has already turned 100 this year, or did before Jan. 1, would not have to pay their income taxes. The bill is still in the early stages of the process and is still going through the House Ways and Means Committee. It has not yet been assigned to a Senate committee for review.

Lawmaker files bill to keep Georgians from paying tax on inherited vehicles
A state lawmaker filed new legislation to remove the property tax fees for vehicles from those inheriting one from a dead relative. House Bill 186, filed by Rep. Jordan Ridley, would eliminate the title ad valorem tax on inherited vehicles, such as cars, trucks, boats and more. Currently, state law requires those inheriting vehicles to pay the same tax on it that they would when buying a new or used vehicle from a dealer or other business. Under the proposed legislation, immediate family members of a vehicle owner who receive it through inheritance or the terms of a last will and testament would be free from the normal ad valorem tax, which is normally 1% of the fair market value and a local title fee from their county tax office. Should the bill pass, any additional laws that may conflict with it would be repealed.
