I used to have a nice fantasy of being an AFL Member for like, my whole life. But like all quaint things in this rusted world, it won't happen. Gonna give it up next year I think.
I used to love being a student, going to matches hungover by myself in the bottom deck for Melbourne and Brisbane...
Oktoberfest as 'broadening your horizons?' I love a beer – a lot more than your two craft beers on a Friday – but c'mon.
Next you'll be saying Contiki is a great way to immerse yourself in local, genuine culture.
Anyway it's 28 degrees in Perf; gonna go have a beer and a swim. Hope work's...
imo I reckon the whole 'see some ruins and realise how small you are' or 'you'll come back so independent' thing is kind of overstated. Know blokes who have gone and come and still don't know what fan-force means on the oven or how to clean your rental properly so you get your bond back.
It's...
Getting ludicrously pissed and spewing back into your Stein glasses while locals call you an unsophisticated campaigner in their local tongue, while tonguing some slapper from Tottenham (the Melbourne one) with your footy mates you haven't moved on from since year 2... not sure it's as broadening as...
Just like there's no dichotomy in life between 'success' (not travelling, having a house paid off one day) and 'failure' (travelling, never owning a house, chronically masturbating to cuckold pornography in your parents' caravan), there's also no way to view travel that's universal.
Some people...
Lol lots of people already work two jobs. Under-employment and casualisation is becoming even more common. There's genuine middle class people with two jobs.
Fremantle Football Club are looking for a graphic designer. I'd seriously egg all you guys on to have a go. It'll be ludicrously competitive and they've probably already got someone picked out, but worth a go. I know they're really open to interstate people too.
The economy doesn't function in that way anymore, though.
If I could get a job right now that was full-time I'd take it over travelling. That Friday feeling, public holidays off, super, and sick pay seems like a real carrot: a privilege, ironically won by the working man who are now the ones...
Couldn't believe that thread the other day where it said how it was more expensive to attend the footy on the Gold Coast than Melbourne. What a joke. I honestly thought all the bottom tiers on the broadcast sides would be, I dunno, $22 for an adult at most and the the top ones maybe 30 bucks?
Aha – 200 bucks a week to live with four other people in the country is a ludicrously expensive rent.
If you want to live like a Scandinavian backpacker you can also live with other schmucks in St Kilda or Cottesloe for 200 bucks a week.
I don't think they're going to be full 90 minute matches and even if they are, there's still too much going against them. Not sure if it's on during school holidays but most people ya know, work during the days it's on. It's also not even semi-professional. You can pay 10 bucks to go see fifth...
He can't kick.
Reminds me a lot of another prissy Claremont boy, Kane Mitchell. Used to get talked up as some amazing player and he even won a Sandover. He was about 5'7 but absolutely massive. And he could run all day. Would routinely get 30, 35 possessions. I remember watching him in the...
I meant Euros but what sort of flog is going to correct that when it's hand-gymnastics to go through what two-button combo equals what foreign currency sign.
We can muster some spirit down there tbh, had some alright wins over the year and plenty of close games, when even Melbourne sides have gone down for the default flogging. It did us well playing there. If it was the MCG we would have lost I think.
There is more chance of being found with a baggie in your purse while going through security at the pleb gates than there is walking into the changerooms next to the man of the moment.
He was probably a good hour away from even leaving the ground.
Footballers can be very very dumb but they're...
The issue is the people who wanted him, the two main instigators, were arseholed from the club last week.
Jesse Hogan played like 12 games and kicked as many goals. s**t output from a 24-year old nearing a hundred games on at least 600 grand a year. The issue is he isn't putting in 100%.
In my opinion, clubs shouldn't be allowed to play more than one match outside of their allocated state. Melbourne would become permanent MCG tenants as they should be – Gold Coast play a home game every year in the NT against the Crows, alternating between Darwin and Alice Springs.
Geelong...
It seems a lot more common to have weekends where it feels like there's almost no footy in Melbourne.
There's now four guaranteed matches outside of Victoria, generally with a match scheduled in Geelong, Tassie, Ballarat, or the Northern Territory. You add in the Thursday night game and...
Treat the Cats like every other non-Melbourne team then.
They get every game in Geelong – with finals – but might only play two MCG matches a season.
You know what'd happen as soon as they collapse in finals...
