They are a commercial TV station.

They get a good portion of their revenue from advertising.

Therefore they'll play anything that will give them a bag of money

The "50m" arcs are only 45m from goal as well

The SCG is only 155m long, Adelaide Oval is 167m, MCG 173, Docklands 159, Cattery 170

I bought a coffee and a mcflurry and yeah while both win instant poo poo prizes both also came with a second "chance card" that said "Just download the app to your phonHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No. That's what the bin is for.

Still, I'm afraid but curious as to how many people actually end up doing that.

Oh hey look that team of adults is still thrashing that team of kids in someone's backyard. When do today's finals games start?

Not exactly the most thrilling set of finals so far. Last night was OK but it was pretty sloggy for three quarters and then Richmond killed the game quite quickly.

One more chance for an actually decent game. Port don't want to get left behind by Adelaide, West Coast don't want to be seen as the team making up the numbers when they literally are the team who needed other results to help them make up the numbers. Surely they'll ... bring us a ... competitive ... you know, I haven't seen what the bonus course on Everybody's Golf is yet today.
