Anyone else notice that in the first quarter the clock counted up SANFL style, but in the second quarter it counted down AFL style?

Any Australian complaining about gaps in play needs to take a huge long look at all forms of cricket

Ehhhhh, cricket isnt that bad. 4 minutes per over is the general rule, thats about 40 seconds between each ball being bowled and spinners can whip through an over much quicker than that. That has to encompass everything as well. All the field changes, any tactics discussions so on and so forth.

Compare that to 11 minutes of game time in over 3 hours of broadcast and its amusing that you are trying to imply cricket is worse.

its a bit of an interesting one, viney very nearly took out the b&f in 2015 despite missing 7 games and then won the 2016 award, so there's not much else he could do from his point of view to state his intent beyond 'be older'. i guess we will see how he goes, but it feels a bit unnecessary when jones is already doing such a great job and has a number of years on viney, its not like it was a 'now or never' moment from a timing point of view.

The best player is not always the best leader.

I'm pretty happy that people who associate with serious organised crime groups, and indeed play a role in the leadership of those groups, are told to gently caress off out of the country if they're on a visa.

Yeah this is babbies first step down the jolly path to fascism.

If the cops, with the entire power of the state behind them, can't prove you did a thing that is against the law, then they should not be able to deport you because they don't like who you hang out with.

The Rosey doesn't show the footy, it was at the Paddo. Funnily enough one of the reporters on the ground described the locale as hipster-ish, which could be applied to Mt Hawthorn if you squint I guess but the Paddo is still v much bogan central clientele-wise

Fuckken paddo.

I think 60% chance of Freo finishing bottom 4 is a bit rough, if we had the same team that we had for all of last year then maybe, but not with Fyfe/Sandi/Johnson/B.Hill/McCarthy and the other new guys in the side.

It specifically says that it cant account for player changes between seasons.

Also, because I hate life, I read catallaxyfiles.com for bad opinions, and I had no idea the AFLW is just a predatory lesbian trap for young women :rolleyes: Apparently all women's sport is just about that.

I hope you replied that you agree, and we should shut down all male sports for being a predatory trap for young men.

Nah, I read it for information's sake, just that this particular angle was completely new to me; it was claimed that Dermott Brereton raised it on SEN with AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan. Surely the boys can't be that threatened?

Hard to say, a lot of the most hardcore SANFL fans don't support an AFL team at all, even some of the Magpies fans shun the Power.

Power fans seem to be angrier about this loss than any other showdown loss in the last 10 years or so, at least that I can remember. Seething rage, if I had to describe it.

In other news, the Happy Valley Vikings women's team had their first ever hit out tonight, a trial game against Flinders Uni, saw them out warming up when walking my dog. Couldn't stop to watch the game, but I'll try and head down in future.

Hey my cousins live in Happy Valley, just outside victor. One of em would make a fairly decent ruck too, she is pushing 200cms and is as fit as gently caress. Ran an ironwomen event in Brazil because why not.
