    Best player you've ever seen?

    Born 1970, can remember 1979 GF vividly and was paying attention properly after that, but before that is a blur: 1) Carey 2) Daicos Sr 3) Ablett Sr Daicos and Ablett might have been superceded by way of the famous highlights reels they racked up, but the guys who did that owe it to them in the...

    If the population of England is 58 Million

    Early 1995, I was at the MCG watching Australia play Australia A in the WSC finals, a week after England had been ousted... A British film guy with a mic and his mate with a camera were walking around our stand asking punters if anyone would like to venture an opinion as to why England sucked...

    Toast Tasmania Officially Entering the Competition :tasmania:

    Yeah...not much different to what any other interstate side experiences when Vics make up the majority of the AFL lists...they all want to go home, and Harley Reid as someone with actual bargaining power deciding to commit is the exception, not the rule... In any case, I was answering a Tassie...

    Toast Tasmania Officially Entering the Competition :tasmania:

    Nah...s'alright...judging by attendances when WA travels east, no one's really pushing you to...wouldn't want you subjected to all that whinging anyway, and relocating and assimilating the natives into greater society is frowned upon these days... In all seriousness though, Tassie needs to pay...

    Toast Tasmania Officially Entering the Competition :tasmania:

    Longer plane flights are what you get for living 3500km away from civilisation... If you're the away team, you don't get a say in it. If Hawthorn says they want to shift the Freo game to York Park instead of the MCG because they'll get a better return, then that's what goes into the fixture...

    Toast Tasmania Officially Entering the Competition :tasmania:

    Weak...and they gave you people TWO frigging sides... November growing up in Launceston meant the daily temp was consistently back into double figures, so it was off to St Leonards swimming hole for the first swim of the summer. Once you've successfully reached the "try not to think about it"...

    Toast Tasmania Officially Entering the Competition :tasmania:

    Fairly consistently, the line has been "7 in Hobart and 4 in Launceston"... I see no issue in continuing the Hawks deal, and even expanding the concept. Every week, there should be a game in Tasmania, so if that means 11 Devils games, 4 more Hawks games in Launceston, and the remainder of the...

    Mainland pussies.

    Toast Tasmania Officially Entering the Competition :tasmania:

    I'd be backing the experiences of players who've been recruited to the Tigers, Jackjumpers and Canes as more indicative of what you'll get when you play for a Tasmanian franchise... And like a typical mainland f### with a short attention span, you couldn't make it to the third question...

    Toast Tasmania Officially Entering the Competition :tasmania:

    How many draftees have knocked back the club that drafted them? How many players have cited "lifestyle" as their major reason for leaving their club? How many players are good enough at a young age to have any power over the answers to the first two questions? Yeah...thought so...if you wanna...

    Rumour Snoop Dogg 2025 AFL Grand Final entertainment

    Rapping is singing. It relies on specific vocal techniques of pitch, tone and projection over structured timing, or in other words, notes over rhythm, no different to any other type of vocalising musician... Outside Mike Brady, who might as well be the house band, John Farnham is the only...

    Test Proposal to split test cricket into two divisions

    CA did the maths way back, and discovered the average cricket fan in Australia was a 45yo male! Clearly not the most sustainable customer base, and England was probably coming to the same conclusions when they invented T20's, much the same as they did in the 1960's with the advent of...

    Test Proposal to split test cricket into two divisions

    The games which attract the least interest in any forms of cricket are games between local teams from different countries. Unlike soccer, with comps like UEFA, there have been many international series between the domestic champs or otherwise in all three formats and they've all failed. If the...

    Test Proposal to split test cricket into two divisions

    All ODI's and all T20 internationals should be qualifiers for WC finals tournaments, and all of those qualifiers should be multi-team tournaments and not bilateral. Every game should matter. The current structure creates a huge gap where the public doesn't need to give a f### about the limited...

    Game Ashes First Test, Perf. Thongs vs Flip Flops

    I'm just here to laugh at the thread title. I've got one happy memory of my British ex-wife at least - we'd argue over the correct name for flat rubber footwear...
