    Exact AFL umpire whistle used

    Hello, I have started to umpire AFL games over here in the States. I bought an ACME Thunderer off Amazon, as suggested. It turned out to be the Model # 477/60.5. It's loud as ****, so it does the job, but it is a higher pitch than I'm used to in AFL. I love that deeper tone of the AFL whistle...

    Predicted 2022 Finals Schedule

    Hello. Figuring out travel plans around finals. Do we know yet if there is a chance the first final of the first week will be on a Thursday night? Wikipedia has this, implying Friday night for the first final, but I'm not sure I trust it:

    Finishing a basement/garage/attic

    Just wondering if any of the folks here have experience with finishing a basement, garage or attic... basically some space that's typically not lived in but could be done up nicely to add space and value to your house. I'm living in a rental now with a finished basement, and whilst we like the...

    NAB League Wild Card Round - why?

    I'm curious. Why does the TAC CUP... NAB League have a wild card round, allowing all 13 teams to play finals? Does this not seem to make a mockery of having a regular season? I wonder what the decision making was. I suppose they want to give all of the kids an opportunity to shine on the "big...

    Juniors playing in SANFL seniors

    I have wondered for a while but never fully understood the rules/ettiquette/traditions of juniors playing senior SANFL football. I remember back before we drafted him that Jack Trengove was very good for Sturt in their (Grand?) Final performance, and obviously as a kid doing well against men...

    2019 General Discussion / Help

    I haven't played any fantasy AFL for 10+ years but am doing Supercoach this year. My question is what happens if (and probably when) the combined value of your team exceeds 10 million? Given my team has a fair few rookies, it seems likely that the value will go up. How do you make trades in...

    WatchAFL international streaming service issues

    Hello, Is anyone else using the WatchAFL service to stream AFL games from overseas? I have used this for now 5 years and it has normally been very good. Tonight however, the live streaming has been awful. I either get games in rubbish quality or, if I force a watchable resolution, it is full of...

    Best pubs in Melbourne to watch the footy

    The title says it all. In particular, this Saturday afternoon I'd love to be able to watch the Demons vs GWS and Essendon vs Carlton games simultaneously. I don't mind if only one of them (probably Dons vs Blues) has sound on. I know you can always get this in a TAB but I'd prefer somewhere...

    Can an MCC membership gain access to the AFL members reserve?

    Hello, A simple question. I have a provisional MCC membership but a lot of my friends have AFL membership. I know I can get into the general admin section with a pass-out but can I get into the AFL members reserve? Or at least can I get a discount to a guest ticket in that section? All the best!

    MCC guest pass question for a first-timer

    After being put on the waiting list in 1998 I finally received the new provisional membership. I've been in the MCC reserve a few times as a guest but on Sunday for Melbourne vs Carlton will be my first time as an actual member. I see that it's a "category 3" game, which means that I can bring...

    Multiplat Don Bradman Cricket 2017

    I figured it's time for a new thread as the latest version in the DBC series is coming this December. Platforms: PS4 XBox One PC (same release date or delayed like for DBC14 to avoid piracy?) 99% sure it's not on PS3 and XBox 360. Here is a small new features list...

    Looking for a Samsung Galaxy A5 case that covers the bottom buttons

    New phone but the little bugger is so big and slippery that it has already just come out of my hands several times. On the last occasion it chipped the screen on the bottom right corner. The buttons all work fine, it just looks and feels crap down there. Does anyone know of a case that actually...

    European flight compensation regulations - a handy tip!

    Hello, here is a little tip that I have just used in my favour! Here is a tip whenever you have a flight involving Europe and it's delayed. In pretty much all circumstances, you are owed money! However they almost never tell you about this at the airport, so most people never claim...

    Wireless/Bluetooth headphones for multiple devices

    Partially girlfriend initiated in our small apartment, I'm on the hunt for some Bluetooth headphones. They don't need to be of exceptional quality (e.g. no 500 buck Sennheisers). Probably 150 AUD max. The key thing is I'd like to use them for multiple devices: 1) PS4 2) Wii U 3) Desktop...

    Connecting to 4G modem via ethernet cable

    Hello peeps, I'm going to buy a 4G modem that I can stick my sim in and broadcast wirelessly around my apartment. I'd also like to be able to connect via ethernet to it but they don't seem to make 4G modems with sim card slots that contain ethernet ports. So, if I buy one, will it be possible...

    Round 10 rising star - Angus Brayshaw

    Angus Brayshaw One of Melbourne's best today. Was drafted as a tough in and under guy but has surprisingly good foot skills, on both sides of the body. He would have been equally deserving to have won it last week. Well done!

    Wii remote plus/motion plus

    Hey, I have a question regarding Wii motion plus / Wii remote plus (which is just a Wii remote with in built motion plus) It seems like there are very few games that actually use this motion plus technology? I'm contemplating buying a Wii U for when some mates come around and instead of buying...

    Best crime documentaries

    Hey guys, Been watching a lot of the show Breakout recently. It's about prison breaks, as you can imagine, reconstructed either from letters and interviews with the prisoner, or actually having the prisoner discussing it on the show. They also have guards, policemen etc contributing. The thing...

    Ashes 2015 tickets

    Hey guys, I know it's a while off but if you want tickets, you need to get in early. The priority ticket sales for the Cardiff test opened up an hour ago. As expected, the server nearly crashed, but I managed to get tickets to all 5 days. The public tickets open up at 12pm UK time. The...

    European Champions League

    A cool concept got underway last night. 44 teams from the top leagues in Europe. Unfortunately there are no KHL teams because they could not come to an agreement (the KHL seems to be difficult to deal with full stop these days). Nevertheless, it's fantastic to see top teams from the Swedish...

    Close the bloody roof

    By having the roof open you get: a) Players blinded by the Sun, as seen several times today. The orientation of the Docklands stadium makes this a much larger problem than say at the MCG, which is oriented roughly perpendicularly. b) Difficult to watch television when the ball passes from lit...

    Why are other North American sports so much more popular?

    Interested to hear your thoughts. I am talking about basketball, gridiron and baseball. I have a few specifics and then one general one at the end which I think could be the biggest. Basketball - Australia has played basketball for a while and ain't bad at it - We have a reasonable league -...

    The beauty that is the AFL - let's make a list...

    There seems to be a lot of negatively floating around about the AFL that I think we need to remind ourselves of how lucky we are to have it. No, it's not perfect but we have a league that does a lot of things better than many other top flight competitions. Let's list a few. - A salary cap...
