I worked at Crown (not onthe gaming floor), exactly the same thing. Tuesday morning at 10am in the gaming floor, and about an hour after centrelink sent our the dole cheques was a particularly heartbreaking time to be around.

Hmm, almost all of those guys make more money than almost every AFL player. Except the one who cheated on his wife in a country where abortion is not an option

I think that's by and large fair. But definitely showed exceptional character to stick with it and become one of the best (or better?) small defenders in the league. You can argue that at a better club he doesn't get that chance after being delisted, but his determination to get the most out of...

Should certainly be spoken of in the same sentence as Jones when the story is told of the dark days. One of the few who stood up time and time again when that was a very hard thing to do.

I can't not see this every time now. He is all in.

Context, you know, relevant details? So that you don't draw a definitive conclusion without assessing more than one factor. The thing that you were saying that other people were doing before and was the reason why they were wrong?

I like that you addressed the weakness in your own argument, a screen grab doesn't tell the whole story. Context is critical. What was the situation, what was the timing of the lead, where was he in his movement post mark, what were the instructions of the coaching staff? Decision making flows...

When they interview the coach for the job, generally he has to sell them on A) his game style and B) his training methodology. The football and health/fitness department would be working towards being able to deliver those two things. During review periods, the football department would...

Is that the Dipper/King Wally boundary rider combo?

The notable change from the 2000's is that all programs at the AIS used to be AIS Programs but run by their respective sports, whereas in the mid 2010's the decision was made to allow sports to become independent programs. So nobody was an AIS program, but an AIS tenant. That was meant to allow...

America is exceptional (though I could include Japan in here as well), in that they are one of the few places in the world where sport peaks at university. Europe, South America and Australia are all largely based around clubs. As a result there is a larger intake of athletes on a organised...

That girl probably would have but he was stuck in quarantine.

That would put us in line to have Jimmy Page as our no.1 ticket holder
