    Sub rule

    Found this interesting. On one hand you can have a bloke not play for a few weeks or a full game. Or as Rocket Eade says gain fresh legs late. Should the rule be left as is? Made like concussion where it's 12 off if you're subbed. Problem there is a club may be cautious in a PF or other final...

    Finals + Granny?

    Where is it gonna be? IMO only way its workable is to have it in one location. Given the situation if a city is locked down/crowdless all of a sudden then it is easier to coordinate moving teams en masse than what is happening now. Especially given 2 teams a week get knocked out so say you...

    Hypothetical Should Australia and NZ merge?

    Inspired by the new country thread thought I'd post here. Now obviously this ain't happening but it was once an idea with limited traction like WA session. So pros: -Both countries have strong natural resource backed economies. Aust = mining and NZ -natural products and massive amounts of hydro...

    Victoria's Next Premier

    Given all the argy bargy about Covid and posters on both sides of the debate speculating Andrews may soon go who is next in line. IMO it won't be anyone who is caught up in the Covid bubble. I reckon it is out of 3. Major candidates: Tim Pallas = The Treasurer and a safe pair of hands. If...

    Restriction Poll

    Just curious to get a sample on community opinion. Post if you like but I don't intend this to be a debate thread. More an opinion poll. This is more the Vic perspective but other state posters can vote say if you had to relocate to Vic or your state had same numbers

    Sunscreen myths and tips

    I hate wearing it. Currently can't see properly and have an eye irritation due to it constantly getting in there. Also if I use the wrong brand it really irritates my skin badly. Now while I believe in 10 to 40 mins outside in the sun unprotected to build Vit D and develop a tan and tolerance...

    Surviving work as an Introvert

    As a personality type that lends itself more to introversion rather than extraversion a challenge I have is been on for 40 hours a week in general. How do you all cope to avoid exhaustion or is it worth conceeding it is too hard and doing something on my own? Don't know what. Add in a stressful...

    DRS

    What does everybody think? Watching the first test everyone is bagging the umps (rightly in the case of No Balls/but which should be up to technology to call or better get rid of the front foot rule and just do back foot) but some of the overturned decisions were bizarre. 1) The LBWs.

    Negative Travel Experiences

    While we all love travelling and nothing beats getting away. What happens if the s**t hits the fan and things go horribly wrong? And you never want to travel again? Do you take a rest? Go again? Or take advice? I really am at the point I never want to go away agian. So how do you recover so...

    App Building

    Does anybody know of any simple programs to design a basic app for a computer hack? As in just upload some audio and maybe link to an image. Have tried a few but they seem hopelessly complicated and I'm well out of my depth with this stuff.

    Society/Culture Currency Circulation

    Here is what I don't get. I have money in my pocket. Cash. I also have money on my ATM card (which is essentially backed by cash). Said money only exists because the government approved its creation. As such the government is a currency issuer not a user. The government does not need our tax...

    Employment Resigning

    Hi all have a bit of a problem. I want to switch jobs but my current employer states if I don't give required notice not only will they withhold my last pay but charge me (yes bill me) the amount I didn't give notice. This sounds highly suspect and illegal to me. Wandering what to do as I simply...

    Science/Environment Could Australia become 3rd world?

    In light of postings on another board and responses I thought I'd create this question. Every Australian has heard: if you don't like it leave; gee we are lucky, go live in Iraq/Somalia, other like place if you don't like it etc But given the rate of change in the world the massive rise of...

    Mental Vision and Blindness

    I was reading an article the other day (will try find link) about imagination and mentally picturing something. Now like everybody I can imagine things, picture things in my head and daydream. BUT I don't actually see anything. As an example if you ask me to close my eyes and imagine a beach...

    Quickest Bowlers? Today or Yesteryear?

    Inspired by the WI thread. Who is quicker? With the trend in World Sport from the 70s for players to be full time professional rather than ameteurs, fitter, faster and stronger etc and cricket been the same has this impacted the speed of bowlers? With speed guns now we can see many quicks...
