Not saying it's what I want, but something like that is likely to happen if they actually do want to stop the absurdly late night finishes. It's either that or the night session is just one men's match or two women's matches.
Men play best of three sets round one to round four, then best of five after that. There's people who think AFL and T20 take too long to finish and they're done within three hours. I can appreciate a Djokovic vs Nadal five set epic but only a devoted tragic wants to watch 62 vs 155 on court for...
Handled the ball was rolled into the obstructing the field rule several years ago and is no longer a separate method of dismissal. I only learnt that during the World Cup when Mathews was timed out and I was reading about the less common dismissal methods.
I think there's big money from either the BCCI or the IPL franchise owners involved in it and the IPL teams are expanding to other countries, if you look at the SA teams they all use IPL franchise names. So if the IPL did the same here and took over the BBL you'd be getting new franchises with...
Regardless of whether the Geelong home split is 11-0, 10-1 or 9-2, there should be no argument that every other club plays at Kardinia Park starting from next season. But the Pies and Tigers fans who point out that they have to host at least one Docklands game each year (sometimes vs...
Yeah I mostly agree with this, just not sure about the live trading rules allowing for point stacking again given the AFL immediately closed it off in 2015. Not sure what the answer is though, Gold Coast and GWS in particular need something since they don't have access to any F/S players and I'm...
Problem is the AFL closed the point stacking 'loophole' years ago by limiting the total number of picks to match the free spots on the list. Then teams started delisting their out of contract main list players to rookie list them so they could add extra picks and then the AFL brought in live...
Tigers and Pies are playing on the Sunday in Adelaide for Round 4, they need to have their byes in Round 5 or 6 before the Anzac games on Wednesday/Thursday else they'll be playing four games in 17 and 18 days.
There's another one man show from Bevan in an Asia/ROW game from 2000 that's largely forgotten about these days because it didn't have ODI status, yet if they played it five years later it almost certainly would have had official status. Bevan made 185* as the ROW fell one run short with Bevan...
I'm not entirely up to speed with NSW politics, if Labor falls short of a majority is it more likely they work with the Greens or the independents to form government?
1. It's not false. We're requiring people from China to take a measure to travel here that we in Victoria can't access today unless a doctor gives us a referral.
2. If we were asking every country to do this then fine, whatever. I'd strongly disagree with that but at least it'd be a consistent...
This is why I'm against this rule against China. Personally, I'm not in favour of any covid rules now, omicron is too hard to contain and things that sound simple like public mask mandates haven't prevented mass covid outbreaks anywhere where they've been in place. Vaccines are freely available...
I can sympathise with those who feel like something more needs to be done about covid but the reality is restrictions like wanting people to wear masks don't accomplish anything. And putting restrictions on the Chinese entering just because they're China when we'd never do the same thing if it...

Very much against this. If the roles were reversed a Victorian as of today would need to get a doctor's referral to get a PCR test to visit China.
Yeah, almost nobody actually cares about this. But news sites, particularly right-wing ones like the Daily Mail linked in the OP, get their readers rock hard by publishing incendiary 'stories' that feed into the confirmation biases that they so badly want to believe in.

22 leftish seats to 18 should mean Labor is able to pass legislation as long as there's no other Somyureks in their ranks. And on that, I'm hoping the one positive out of him getting back in is that it annoys Andrews enough that the government finally changes the voting process for the upper house.
He lost, Greens have won the seat instead.

Hawthorn certainly got a raw deal as far as compensation goes with Buddy but with hindsight you guys should be pretty stoked at how the whole thing ended up. Hawks won two more flags while the AFL went hard on Sydney out of pure spite and pettiness because they wanted Franklin to sign with GWS.
Got to watch most of the game on TV for the first time tonight and noticed during the presentation that Scott tried to get out of there pretty quickly when the team joined him and Joel on stage with the cup but Blicavs dragged him back in. Speaks volumes to them both, Scott wanted to leave the...

Yep. Six others were part of five losing grand finals (Dyer, Coventry, Reynolds and Hutchison among them) but they all won at least one flag. Seven others went 0-4, including the Geelong quartet of Ablett, Hocking, Couch and...
The AFL had contracts in 2004 that required Brisbane to 'host' Geelong in a prelim at the MCG. It was a farce then and everyone knew it, the contracts were redone immediately and it'll never happen again.
Sorry to the Freo fans for making an assumption about tomorrow's result, but what combo of these prelim finals would draw the bigger crowd? Geelong/Brisbane at a full capacity Kardinia Park and Sydney/Collingwood at Olympic Stadium? Or Geelong/Brisbane at the MCG and Sydney/Collingwood at the...
I can understand why some don't like the father/son rule but it's reasons like this why I'll always be for it, the history of the game is so much richer with Daicos's two sons starring for the Pies instead of wherever they ended up in the draft.
