Carlton might as well concede that they're gonna get pick 1 now.

The footy gods clearly weren't happy with the retirement of Vickery. No Gibbs or Docherty means Carlton will be without 2 of their top 4 in the B&F. RIP.

National draft. The rookie draft is like an ad break during the soft drink chat show

How does NTRabbit get the energy? I tried getting mad about Dom Barry getting drafted, going home, and now attempting to be drafted by another club without us getting squat but honestly

On serious soccer chat for one second though how is that Australia is getting through to a World Cup and Italy/Netherlands aren't? Aren't we ranked like 80th in the world? Haven't we mostly only played underdeveloped minnows like Honduras and Iraq? How do we get in but they get booted?

Haven't we mostly only played underdeveloped minnows like Honduras and Iraq? How do we get in but they get booted? The consequence of having regional limits to qualifying in order to ensure it's a world tournament, rather than just contested by Europe and South America, with an occasional special guest appearance from Mexico. The occasional battler or two is the price paid for fostering the game in Africa and Asia, who need the hope to sustain public interest. Also, the Dutch and Italians have been playing like reheated piss for two years now, the team with the greatest claim to the unfair boot is Chile, who are the reigning South American champs twice over, and blew it just one step worse than we did by giving up a play off spot they had one foot in during the final game.

The Dutch and Italians missing this world cup is a lot closer to the Hawks missing this finals series - we still remember how good they were in recent times, but they were really loving bad when it counted this campaign

They both had the hardest qualifying groups in Europe and missed out on the automatic spot to the other powerhouse country in their group. The Dutch group was especially hard because Sweden is always a dangerous dark horse.

Just in case anyone here is interested in this: https://twitter.com/championdata/status/930714539515138049 If any of you get the job I'll also pay you to give me access to all the AFL stats they produce.

Apparently because he came over as a restricted free agent the rules make it that the initial contract he was offered (2 years) has to be part of the TPP for the Hawks over all years of the contract.

Yeah it’s the same reason Sydney is on the hook for franklins contract even if he retires way early, cap space wise. Makes sense and is fair.

Make no doubt, the Socceroos are gonna struggle but probably no worse than we did last time around. Having that dumb 48 team format with 16 3-team groups then a round of 32 is going to be bad (does that start in '22 or '26?)

This thread has p. much always been the thread for 'Australian sporting news that doesn't have its own thread' and whining about it when the Aus national team makes it to the World Cup and people decide to post about that seems dumb imo

The Deadly Hume posted:Italy and Netherlands have old teams and increasingly creaky domestic leagues, has a bit to do with it. (The Hawks analogy is apt too.) Holland (it's OK to call the football team Holland) are usually my second team so I am a little sad for that (especially since they missed at the last Euros as well), but as for Italy, meh. '26, because the additional teams changes the logistics and stadia requirements in the bidding process (more bribes), so they moved the expansion to the first one they haven't picked a host for yet.

Considering Italy did what they usually do in the Euro, them getting knocked out is a huge surprise. The Dutch usually find new and inspiring ways to underachieve, so it's heartening to see them reach for new heights of underachievement.

I am rapidly approaching the horror of my mid 30s so soft drinks and fruit juice are out for me. Solo iirc is particularly sugary because it was always the least worst of commonly avail soft drinks.
