    Sci-fi which predicted real advancements, and didn’t (yet)

    Back to the futures hover board is a clear one, but seeing Thor today, laser bursts or laser cannon are an absolute staples whether by ‘magic’ or ‘real weapons’ It made me think, they’ve probably been in sci-fi for at least 50 years, and lasers are a thing. But real life go to in weaponry...

    Tight shorts thread

    Carlton’s chicken leg shorts and tightest shorts seen for a while provoke a flashback thread. Is it a fashion? Is SOS involved? The tight shorts were reall naff fashion, but some really liked them. They look particularly striking on a tall player like Stephen Lawrence here

    Strategy How to fill the list of a new team

    Strikes me that as tassie is not producing a lot of AFL players these days, they cant go the WA or SA plan, and the Gold coast GWS strategy was flawed as well (not to mention GWS got 2 strong drafts and GCS got just one which was weak as well GWS got arguably about 16 first round picks over two...

    Who did walk in the footsteps of #23?

    Scotty the legend. as Dermott said Fearless leader, a different cat. Dermott definitely lived up to the #23. Who else did? And who would have. Buddy did, and followed Dermott to the swans too. Campbell Brown, Brian Lake, even Ben Stratton wouldn’t have been out of place

    Society/Culture Is bigfooty mature enough to discuss consent?

    Make no mistake this law is aimed at men, for obvious reasons. soceity expects men to take the sexual initiative.

    Thanks scomo, everyone knows 80% vaccinated is hard to achieve. More spin, we’ll never ‘open up’ with our current set of politicians (of all colours)

    And returning Aussies who are vaccinated and quote ‘ low risk to the population’ have to wait for 70% to be vaccinated? So are put in HQ with infected people. we won’t get to move forward until the current leadership is replaced , but the scared population is clinging to them...
