monolithburger posted:Is the opening game of the season not a marquee game? We'll we didn't have the opening game this year. But I'd say no, it isn't based around a holiday, it is a Thursday night game so less people can go due to work or school the next day. It just happens to be the first game of the round and the first game of the season, the afl likes the fixture because two big clubs means a good crowd, even for a thursday night. But it isn't a special game. Testekill posted:Probably because they'd always loving lose. drunkill fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Dec 7, 2022 |

I'm ok with Carlton/Richmond to start the season if it means they're both going to be garbage in 2023, as god intended. Gotta melt that plastic early

https://www.afl.com.au/news/871161/wildcard-round-introduced-in-vfl-finals-shake-upquote:THE AFL has shaken up the final stages of the 2023 VFL season, introducing a Wildcard Round that will see four clubs battle it out for the last two spots in the finals. AFL really don't want a major club like Carlton missing out just on percentage again. Clubs don't even play everyone once in the VFL, what a pointless extra round.

That arsehole deep square leg was on one of his boring rants about the fixture needing to be even, but Hume (probably) said that we only need a top six in field of eighteen, so the seventh and eighth are effectively wildcards to address the uneven fixture. Genius. That very night I started sleeping well and looking forward to tomorrow. Blues for the flag

I hope whoever comes in after Gil isn't a pushover melt and stops loving with the rulesets. I just want one season where we don't dramatically change something to make the game worse off. The stand rule still needs to gently caress off

https://twitter.com/superfooty/status/1606446284805910529?s=46&t=ueDSNYBvcKcZPLgghpSDsA VFL/VFA Legend Barry Round has passed away. He played 328 games for Footscray and Sydney, winning the 1981 Brownlow medal and was the inaugural Sydney Swans Captain. Following his VFL retirement he went on to play a further 110 games for the Williamstown Seagulls and played in two premierships, captain-coaching the Seagulls in the 1990 premiership. He was inducted into the AFL HOF in 2001 and inducted as a legend into the Seagull's HOF in 2014. The medal for best young player in the VFL bears the names of him, fellow VFL/VFA legend Des Forthergill and Sam Mitchell as these three players are the only players to win not only the J.J Liston Trophy but also the Brownlow.

Chairchucker posted:Speaking of drinks, one thing I miss about South Australia is Nippy's juice. Their unsweetened orange juice is pretty great, yeah. As a kid one of my favourite things was to mix that with lemonade. Speaking of uniquely SA drinks, Fleurieu Milk Company puts out fantastic milk. I'm lactose intolerant, so is my wife and both my daughters, and we literally go through around 12 litres of their lactose free milk per week. Our local servo has started stocking extra just because we so reliably buy every bottle they've got (you can't get it at Coles or Woolworths). It's so much nicer than any of the Zymil or Liddells crap that most supermarkets offer as their only lactose free options. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jan 11, 2023 |

Coles and Woolworths were the ones putting the screws to all the Fleurieu dairy farms and buying up the bankruptcy results, which is I expect why they aren't available there. They have lactose free yoghurt also. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Jan 11, 2023 |

My two year old threw a screaming tantrum this morning because we didn't give her a third Fleurieu yoghurt before daycare. We have a Foodland near us which I'd love to go to instead of Coles/Woolies, but for some reason it's always garbage with products out of date, meat that ends up being off, etc. I guess I should probably just drive to the next suburb over.

They are just Drakes, Not Drakes Foodland anymore, they left the foodland group and got their own supplier chain. but yeah, the best place to buy Fleurieu Milk stuff is from the store in the central market if you can make it there, it's loaded. The foodland group doesn't stock most fleurieu stuff, It's specifically Drakes. ssmagus fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Jan 12, 2023 |

Geez, didn't realise there were so few places to buy them! Fortunately of all places, OTR seems to have a deal with them which is where I usually buy their milk from. I didn't even realise they had a central market store, I'll have to check it out next time I'm at Chinatown.

It's probably more common than I make it out to be, My local Drakes sells all of the fleurieu milks and yogurt, And out of the 3 nearby foodlands only one sells any fleurieu products, just the lactose free milks. You'll never see any at colesworths as noted.
