    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 6 - North v Hawks Sun April 21st 4:00pm AEST (Marvel)

    The most disappointing thing is that it was clear large swathes of the team were just not interested or putting in any effort last week, and yet Clarkson went in basically unchanged. The players not putting in any effort is on him. Persisting with players that do not deserve a game is on him...

    BRICS and the reduced power of the US dollar.

    Exactly. The Russian economy has been gutted and to claim its growing or outperforming Europe is just to fixate on one specific number while ignoring everything underneath it. And the reality on the ground. What will happen if the war drags on? What will happen if it ends? Those are the two...

    20th AFL Team

    Is the problem with Manuka space? When I look at it on google maps it doesn't look like there is any space thats not accounted for, unless they decided to merge the two lanes of Canberra avenue and took over the pool. But even then, thats just a footprint. I don't see any room for 25-30k people...

    BRICS and the reduced power of the US dollar.

    If this is your level of insight, then you're not a particularily strong analyst to say the least.

    Play Nice 45th President of the United States: Donald Trump - Part 18: Insert your ideas here!

    You're not saying anything of value. You're claiming to know that he ran based on policies, yet haven't named any of his policies when asked to do so. You cant in the same breath claim you are not an American therefore cant offer insight, and to know why he ran.

    Politics Fascist takeover US 2025.

    It really isn't and I dont know how anyone could emerge from his last term not seeing this. The Mueller report basically concluded that a sitting president can't be indicted, and even if someone wanted to revisit that conclusion, the justice department can be ordered to drop it. And he could...

    Politics Fascist takeover US 2025.

    Never have I seen such bullshit in the ferocity of this Trans talk. It's an issue that literally does not effect the majority of the people who care so deeply about it. Would rather talk about decaying industrial relations, the impossibility of home ownership and more broadly the growing wealth...

    Politics Fascist takeover US 2025.

    I think the real concern should be on if there's any credibile elections after 2024 should he win, not if he simply ran for a third term. Though a Trump v Obama 2028 election would make for some interesting clown world s**t. Imagine being told that in 2012.

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 4 - thread rules updated

    I'm not a geopolitics expertise at all so genuine question. Is part of the reason why Putin is blaming/trying to work in Ukraine here because any other explanation would be a sirect negation if his narrative? He is always talking about the unipolar world where every enemy is a US puppet. The US...

    Tas Tasmanian Election 2024

    Very low odds. All parties with a persons name in their title shatters into independents eventually. Lambie was herself elected in a party named after someone else. Entropy is basic physics.

    Tasmania Tasmania Devils, welcome to the AFL. Mens team to enter 2028. Womens team TBA. Other details TBA 3/5 (Part 2)

    Hideous logo. Broad strokes it's fine, a roaring mascot looking forwards. But the execution lacks aesthetics, to put it mildly. It's noisy and looks more like a wookie. 2/10. Awesome mascot. Yes it's predictable but it's not boring. Mascots are like names for children; things you want to play...

    WSYD How are GWS going off the field?

    WSYD How are GWS going off the field?

    I swear to God, I am not playing funny bugger here. I have never heard of Pappy, Munster, or Cronk. I might have heard of Smith but I'd need to hear his first name to see if it rang any bells. Slater is the only one on that list I have for sure heard of. And Falau used to play for them too...

    Roast Has Opening Round been totally botched?

    Either have the marquee game or not. Whatever benefits the club most. But having their cake and eating it too by playing both weekends impacts the integrity and balance if the comp and is unacceptable. And before any whataboutisms come up; yes those should be stamped out too. The response of an...

    Roast Has Opening Round been totally botched?

    Having the northern states open the round with exclusive marquee games is fine, and probably a good expansion tool. But it should so obviously be a split round. Nothing is gained by adding this advantage to select teams to further unbalance the comp.

    The AFL will not fail. They never have. They invest extremeley long term. The suns will succeed, and everyone will forget the 20 years of moaning people like you did along the way.

    2nd Test Australia v Pakistan Dec 26--30 1000hrs @ the MCG

    I mean plenty of open air stadiums use drop in pitches; but even if they didn't I can only imagine that the north/south configuration and gravel just inches under the surface due to the car park could be bigger reasons why docklands turf sucks than the roof.

    2nd Test Australia v Pakistan Dec 26--30 1000hrs @ the MCG

    Isn't it also a rule that tests can't be played in stadiums with rooves? Rain interruptions are increasingly reduculous these dats. Youd think that it's got to evolve into the real world if it's going to make it into the second half of the century.

    Sydney's record in grand finals needs scrutinising

    Uh, it wasnt just the swans who complained. There's widespreas aknowledgement that it was the most based, game changing umpiring many have ever witnessed. If ever there was a team robbed by umpires, it was that one. If that game had have been umpire fairly, then they'd be 3 wins 4 losses. Which...

    1950 to change the course of history. I would say 98 to erase my own heartache, but 50 would have had more profound benefits.
