The stories you hear of hours upon hours of homework being required during VCE are, quite frankly, a load of bull. VCE is pretty much a test of your ability to regurgitate as much of a textbook as possible and to write complete and utter bullshit within time limits, so it can be largely...

That seems rather excessive IMO. Unless you go to some elite private school, I strongly doubt there is two hours' worth of stuff per night to cover at Year 9 level. Studying is all good, but in doing this much a night you're probably still receiving the same benefits as you would by completing...

What I think is in store: Simonds home games- Melbourne, North, St Kilda, Fremantle, Adelaide, Sydney, Port Adelaide, Brisbane MCG home- Hawthorn, Collingwood Etihad home- Carlton Melbourne away- Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond (MCG), Essendon, North, Bulldogs (ES) Interstate- Adelaide, Sydney...

1. Lumumba is named AOTY 2. Malthouse sacked in Round 4 after four big Carlton losses to start the season 3. Sydney sign Dangerfield and Cotchin on $25m contracts over 15 years

Just your average high school, private or public. Finished Year 12 at TAFE after completing Years 7-11 at a 'normal' high school and definitely noticed a difference. Curriculum was the same, but the environment/teachers there prepared me a hell of a lot more for uni.

Schools massively inflating the importance of ATAR scores, probably just to bump up their credentials. Occurs so often around this time of year, leading many Year 12 students to unhealthily obsess over their exam results. Wait a year and you can enter most uni courses as a mature age student...

Can't figure out for the life of me why Carlton are exempt from playing at KP. Bet Richmond are fixtured there again next season, as you said. And doubt we've got North down in Hobart. It's been mentioned we only have 5 interstate trips, can't see that being one of them. You'd imagine we'll...

My attempt at a Geelong fixture for 2015: NAB Challenge:

1. Port Adelaide 2. Fremantle 3. North Melbourne 4. Hawthorn 5. Gold Coast 6. Richmond 7. Sydney 8. Geelong 9. Essendon 10. West Coast 11. Adelaide 12. GWS 13. Collingwood 14. Brisbane 15. Carlton 16. Western Bulldogs 17. Melbourne 18. St Kilda Premiers: North def. Port

Should have happened 18 months ago.

Other than the 5 day break following Hawthorn in Round 1, that fixture doesn't seem too bad from a Geelong POV mrpresident1000. You have Melbourne playing twice in Round 11 though. Might be a busy Saturday night for you then. Here are some of my fixture attempts in previous years, all took me...

Not sure, but I think you've forgotten to turn off caps lock.

Please don't be started by a Geelong supporter, please don't be started by a Geelong supporter. *opens thread*

Sydney by 29pts Norm Smith: Kennedy First goal: Gunston

If Hawthorn start as they did last night, she'll be all over by 1/4 time. Sydney will make them pay far more than a jittery young Port - Buddy/Tippett/Reid won't waste the footy in the manner Port's forwards did.

The last two HTB decisions were nothing short of disgraceful, but Port ultimately cost themselves. As admirable and unlucky as they might have been, you can't expect to win a Prelim final by kicking 3.9 in the first quarter and falling 29pts behind with 15 min remaining.

Vodka with iced coffee

Swans by 5-6 goals. Hawks will be spent after tonight and a forward line of Buddy/Tippett/Reid is too much to contain. Don't really understand some of the vitriol directed at Sydney anyway. Sure, there's the COLA, but have to respect what they've been able to achieve over the past decade...

Just in the nick of time. :thumbsu:

inb4 "it works well in America so why not introduce it here"

Obviously weren't watching the same game as everyone else.

Srsly, Swans by 5-6 goals. Tonight will have taken a lot out of the Hawks and Sydney are probably the fitter side heading into next week. Containing Buddy, Tippett and Reid is just too great a task for opposition defences.

Swans by 9.8pts. Buddy and Goodes tie for NS. Bigfooty servers next Saturday night:

Have done this in previous years and all fixtures took me 3-4 weeks to complete, my previous attempts can be found somewhere here on BF. Don't have the spare time and effort to do up an entire 2015 one though, so something smaller (i.e. NAB Challenge or Geelong-only draw) may be in the works.

brb off to have some alkalised Coke, activated meatlovers pizza and cultured Big Mac with fries.

Was mentioned in the Geelong newspaper a while ago that we want a home game on ANZAC Eve (Friday night in Round 4), will try to find the article.

For Geelong.... Play twice: Hawthorn, North, Fremantle, Gold Coast, Richmond 8 Simonds home games vs. Melbourne, North, Bulldogs, Fremantle, Port, Gold Coast, GWS and a 'big' club (Richmond/Carlton). 2 MCG home games vs. Hawthorn and Collingwood, with another at Etihad (opponent from...

How on Earth do people get pissed at the footy? The stuff they sell at the 'G is kiddie-strength. :confused:
