Stuck watching Rage coz I can't get to the outside world on the other tv, Mrs Dins is hogging it

You've got a fair few options at your disposal mate.

If any of you guys genuinely like Buscemi, recommend listening to his appearance on the Fly on the Wall podcast.

Is it Friday already?

Is it Friday already?

Sure is! What's the usual Friday highlight?
Early knockoff? Drinks at the pub? The early hours waiting around to see if the Furies submit a team-sheet on time?

Last Friday was the best Friday of 2024- Freo won, West Perth won and no work.

Winner winner Trifecta!

I'm guessing failed drug test

Yes I admit I didn't take any drugs last week. Should have paid a junkie to give me some of his piss and I'd still be playing.

Lesson learned.

Then come home and watch the end of the football

Jam-packed full of adventure! Nothing better.
And just quietly, why on earth your mob are scheduled to play Saturday night, rather than Sunday, following our Easter Monday clash is beyond me. (Unless they wanted the prime time fixture of course).

There's always so game questionable decisions with the fixture & it's never going to please everyone, but one thing which would seem an easy fix is the scheduling off short & long breaks:

- Rnd 0 teams should have played another Rnd 0 team in Rnd 1 rather than a team playing their first game of the season. Half the teams played against each other, but the other half played 4 fresh teams & you can be a bit rusty in terms of match play

- When we have the 3/4 weeks of rotating mid-season byes, the teams coming off the bye should face each other

- Minimise unnecessary 5-day breaks. Looking at this week's schedule & the matches at AO, I'm guessing it would have been one of our clubs with a 5-day break to play Saturday night. BUT based on how the seasons being going for the clubs, maybe the GC vs GWS could have been Sat night at AO, and our two matches been a double header on the Sunday with an earlier start & then later finish

Is this "Round 0" thing here to stay , or was it just a one off ?

 

[spudmaster]

We'll probably have Round -1 next year...honestly who the heck knows these days. If the NRL do their Vegas thingo again, maybe the AFL will do the same thing and try to capture the QLD/NSW market that week (they may even get the right week next time around)

Hoping it's just a one off

But I'm thinking they'll wait to see what the NRL is going to do next year and try to counter it again

Oooh jelly! Should take it down the track and give it a squirt. They cater to all people these days.

And after you've finished washing it, you could drive it around the track.

 

[Falconista]

^ Never heard the term "give it a squirt" before, spudmaster.
