    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...

    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...

    Your First Game

    1st VFL/AFL: 1988 Grand Final, Hawks record win over Melbourne. 2nd VFL/AFL: 1991 Fitzroy v Hawks at North Hobart, Hawks record score. 3rd VFL/AFL: 1992 Fitzroy v Essendon at North Hobart, 3 point win, great game. 4th VFL/AFL: 1995 Hawks v Collingwood at MCG, Dunstall a split second too late to...

    Why doesn't the AFL finally put the NRL back into its place?!

    If you badmouth either sport to the point of denigration and hatred, it means you don't even understand your own game...think about it...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    This. Said the same thing to younger people wanting to enter the profession who say "I'll be a cool teacher" or "If a kid speaks back to me in class, I'll rip his f###ing head off"...you just be a teacher. It's not rocket science - not only is there a lengthy set of job description standards...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    Your first sentence after the question is the only one which matters. You are no good to anyone in this profession unless that's your aim and drive. You'll know every January - if you have that day in the holidays when work mode in your brain suddenly switches on and you're planning the year...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    Graduated 1993. Aside from a 5 year period from 1996-00 when I moved to Qld and tried to become a self sufficient musician (a conversation in my head I call the "30 Year Plan" that I had when sitting on Burleigh Beach at age 27 nearly destitute can lead to an accurate guess of how all that...
