In successive weeks, we've witnessed two incidents where what would be considered by many to be a relatively textbook tackle (pinning an arm/arms to stop disposal, no slinging of the player) at Etihad has led to concussion of the tackled player. Similar tackles at other venues have not led to...
Australia's chief scientist Prof. Alan Finkel said yesterday that ""The Trump administration has mandated that scientific data published by the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] must undergo review by political appointees before they can be published...It is reminiscent of the censorship...
Another big 80's/90's band reform to record another album, which is streaming here before its release next week.
Sounds pretty good on first listen. I've always thought Mike Patton had one of the best voices going around, and this does nothing to change that view.
Standout track for me is...
Surprised that a thread hasn't been started - Tool have announced that they will tour Australia in April/May 2013. Dates have been announced for Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane:

The band have suggested that they will take time...
It looks like they've found the Higgs Boson (or something similar) at the LHC. Old theorists in the audience were crying with joy. I guess that makes it $10 billion or so well spent.

If they can find evidence of super symmetric particles, that would...
I was listening to my iPod while walking today, and this track came on:

Great instrumental track, brilliantly mixed.
Any instrumental tracks you enjoy?
Given the current situation in Queensland, it is pertinent to ask - is the current situation caused and/or exacerbated by human induced climate change?
An increase in extreme weather events has been a constant prediction of climate modelling over the past 20 years, and some statistical...
The two greatest visions of a future dystopia were George Orwell’s “1984” and Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World.” The debate, between those who watched our descent towards corporate totalitarianism, was who was right. Would we be, as Orwell wrote, dominated by a repressive surveillance and...
Coming soon to destroy the sleep patterns you have developed.

Team Changes for 2009
With 2008 now a painful memory, its time to talk of 2009 and the changes Geelong can make to improve,
My view on the team changes that should be made are:
Hawkins in, Lonergan out
Lonergan may have been our highest goal kicker in the 2nd half of the season, but it...
I may be moving to Launceston for work next year, and want to know something about what to possibly expect.
Generally, what's it like as a place to live?
What suburbs are the best to live in? What are the best suburbs to avoid?
And most importantly, where should I go for dinner next...
With Geelong's best tagger out this week, he didn't seem to step up much, even during a hotly contested first half. Got a bit of the ball and some clearances, but wasn't dominant. Unsighted in the second half along with his teammates.
I honestly haven't seen him play too much this year, but...
Trying not to sound like a gloating Geelong supporter, one thing made me confident going into todays game - the Kangaroos comments during the week. All week Dean Laidley (and others; e.g. Brady Rawlings, HeraldSun Wednesday) kept repeating 'We are not afraid of Geelong' over and over again as...
Many years ago, an aquaintence of mine who was formerly in the Labor Party pointed out to me (partly in jest) that all of the women in the party had square heads. After I had a bit of a laugh at that, I started to notice that he was, in fact, correct. Joan Kirner, Sharron Burrows, Lynne Cosky...
Just a quick question to those Cats supporters in Sydney - are there any pubs that show AFL on Foxtel when a game is on and will be showing the Geelong vs. Carlton game tonight?
I'm up in Sydney for the weekend and staying in the Marrickville area, but would love to catch the game on TV tonight...
I moved out to the country this year for work, and don't have Foxtel (or Austar, as it would be out here). Last night I made a 100km round trip to watch Geelong vs. Port. The only place that had FoxSport was an Irish Bar that had a band playing loud Robbie Williams covers right next to the TV...
In my experience, many discussions on this forum quickly degenerate into a mixture of personal attacks (ad hominem), appeals to ignorance and straw man tactics.
The following is a list of useful tools that I teach for testing scientific arguments, originally derived from Carl Sagan's book The...
This is ripped of a thread in the Hawthorn board, but it got me thinking. How difficult is it to go out with someone who is a passionate supporter of another club?
I am about to get married, but my fiancee was a North supporter (not very passionate) when we met. My psychotic influence...
Reading another thread on the NFL Pro Bowl made me think - what would happen if State of Origin was reintroduced and fans could vote on the players who represented their state? It will probably never happen, but you never know. Would it get fans more involved? Would fans be interested...
This guy seems to be respected throughout the AFL. I'm interested what people on this forum think about his suitability for either of the positions currently available at the GFC.
GM Operations?
Assistant Coach?
Kelly is still young (23) with plenty of talent. He's had one bad year - he was easily our best in the tough final vs. Sydney last year. Explain how we could manufacture a trade that would get a player with more talent ready to play as we make a tilt in the next 3-4 years?
SJ is 23...
What will they be used for?
They are designed to hold about 3 million people.
