    JCS (Jim Can't Swim) and JCS inspired videos

    This guy does some great video work and has many imitator's, most of whom don't mind referencing him (eg, JCS inspired) in their own work. He currently has 4.6m subscribers on YouTube even though he rarely posts new videos. His latest is among his best, although it's probably more 'lampoonery'...

    Gunna have to win 12

    All else being equal. Did the ladder predictor and on current form, 'home advantage' and ladder positions we'd need a lot of luck if we don't win 12. I can't see us beating the Handbaggers this week because they only have 2 best 18 missing, so we'll need to win the rest and if we can't you could...

    Crisper app

    Here you go. It's a website, not an app (although there may be an app as well, dunno) where you can check exposure sites and hover to see which tier they are and what you need to do if you were there. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/1606ae83c91e4dc68c95170e7f37e9e9

    The Silence Of The Umpires

    Have the mics been turned way down tonight? Only hearing the umps half the time, which is still half the time too much, but at least it's a start.

    George Floyd homicide
    Threadmarks: Warning: Graphic

    The trial of the cop that killed Floyd (knee on his neck) started a few days ago, so if you want to watch it you can start catching up here: When it happened I wasn't 100% sympathetic to Floyd, given how he acted leading up to him being restrained, and people just shouldn't put themselves in...

    The Big 4 has become the Big 1

    With the Tigers dominating the comp, Collingwood imploding in this year's draft and the sh*tshows of Essendon and Carlton over the past couple of decades surely it's official?

    In the back rule

    The rules are clear. To give away a free kick you have to push someone in the back. It's not a free if you push or bump them in the butt, even if the player falls forward, or for any other reason than you push them in the back. It's out of hand the amount of frees given for a push in the back...

    Nephew ‘executed’ by uncle after sexual relationship with aunt in Sydney

    2018 Draft

    Did ANYONE find the telecast interesting to watch? If so, you need help (and a life). Glad I didn't waste my time. I started watching the replay (fast forwarded to the first pick) - if that isn't the most boring, artificially protracted show that's ever been televised... If anyone was ever in...

    Umpire overruling

    Apologies if this topic has been covered but this is my first time in this section (after almost 14 years!). If one umpire doesn't see an infringement and calls play on while another umpire sees an infringement and calls free kick, surely the free should be paid every time. An umpire can't call...

    Polygamy

    To get the argument started and in response to this: I'm unmarried (never have been and don't actually believe in marriage) but I love my family, dogs and a few other things, so it can't be that you can only love one thing. Why, apart from religion, tradition and custom, isn't it allowed In...

    Is this a rort?

    Each Thursday money is transferred into my NAB savings account. Let's say that figure is $1000 and it appears in there at around 2am (Thursday am). I know this because I check. So let's say the balance started off at $0.00 and at 2am Thursday it becomes $1000 when I check online. On Thursday I...

    New graphics card

    A mouse broke into my pc and pissed on my R9 380 and it's kaput, so I'm after an equivalent. I live in wheat country and mice are a problem. Unfortunately for the mouse, he suffered the same fate as the board but at least he had an enjoyable ride when I flushed him. I don't need anything better...

    12V LED chip and driver upgrade advice

    Ladies and gents, I want to upgrade my old 30W motorcycle driving lights to something more powerful and from the bluish tint (think 6000k) to more natural light (3500k-ish). I like the current small form factor bodies so am really after just the LED chip and driver to retrofit in there. Can...

    North v Richmond, Blundstone Arena

    Anyone else have to look up where Blundstone Arena is? Call me a heathen but I only follow Richmond (even if they left the AFL and played in the local league I'd only follow them) and don't care too much about the other teams, although there are teams I dislike and teams I dislike more.

    Ben Howlett [Commited to Essendon]

    Has apparently said if Hird leaves Essendon he'll look elsewhere for opportunities. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-10-07/howlett-to-leave-if-hird-isnt-coach I like him and think he'd fit our backline and window well. Let's hope.

    Umpires yelling instructions...

    ...while a player is taking his shot for goal. It happens all the time. Stanton was just about to start his runup and the umpire's 10m away yelling "don't go through, don't go through" at the top of his voice to a Carlton player. Stanton was obviously distracted and looked at the ump to see what...

    Rest a couple this week?

    I'm not getting ahead of myself but hear me out. Odds are well in favour of us having to win each of our last two to make the finals. There's little doubt we need to do it. I don't think we can rely on Sydney resting players against us, handing us the win, so we'll need to play at our best. Our...

    Discussion Argus finals system
