Was interested to see Judd say this in relation to the upcoming Carlton job, effectively ruling out Teague staying on. This is often said by club presidents or figures in the media like it's an article of faith, but judging by who coaches teams to premierships, it's nonsense. In the last five...

I think we can all agree that the horrible rolling maul style of football that has recently developed has to be stamped out to improve the brand of AFL football. What is needed is less players, and a more exciting brand of football, basically AFLX for 22 rounds a season. Traditionalists will...

Horribly sad report on the abc about the ongoing inquest into this case. http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2015/s4187896.htm http://mobile.news.com.au/national/families-sa-boss-says-social-workers-should-have-removed-chloe-valentine/story-fncynjr2-1227238081436 Having read into a bit of a...

Anyone done it? Seen it done? Heard tall stories? A colleague of mine had a serious encounter with a kangaroo on Hume Hwy recently, and it got me thinking how basically everyone who has driven on country roads a lot has had a close encounter or two, including some deadset awful ones. A few...

I'll start by saying I simply don't know very much about this topic. But watching the story about the latest rape and murders in india, and the idea the police refused to react because the victims were 'of a lower caste', I'm struck by just how supremely pointless caste stratification seems to...

..actually since I have no clue. The last 5 minutes of the Australia/China game in perth tonight was extraordinary. After a number of fairly rote unsportsmanlike fouls in the last quarter, the chinese coach copped a technical and was ejected, and - just flat out refused to leave. They got a...

Anyone catch the Australian story episode on this recently? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-05/black-cat-track-attack-png/5428118...

For me it's the very naff angle/'likelihood of kicking a goal' overlay that they do when players are running in for set shots. It's so ambiguous as to be meaningless What does it mean? Is it the likelihood of any player, or the likelihood of just that player. And if it's just that player how on...

Assume that at the end of this year Essendon are foolish enough to reemploy Hird, and Thompson decides a.) he still wants to coach; and b.) he specifically wants to coach your team Would you want the board to give the current incumbent the arse and hire him straight away? You'd have to say he...

Deep down we all believe we are one of the good guys right? I am currently basking in the warm glow of being a top notch bloke as follows. Every day I say hello to the security guard in my apartment building.. Everyone else just walks by him, but I make an effort to say hi, ask him how he's...

It's a Friday afternoon, the relief teacher is at her wits end, and she's sent the two vaguely reliable looking kids to fetch the tv on its massive wheeled trolley, sifted through the English dept collection of VHS tapes, hit play and backed out of the room hurriedly. I remember we always got...

http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/bishop-cancels-first-class-tickets-to-new-york-20130913-2tq8p.html A number of things interest me about this article. First, she's dead right and DFAT are a disgrace for doing this, first class air travel and hotel suites should never...

Was thinking about this in the context of Albanese being a potential labor leadership candidate. Since federation, every Australian PM has had a surname with an obvious Anglo-Celtic background. The UK and NZ are similar, the only exception being both have had an obviously Jewish named PM at...

This interests me a bit more than how the numbers finally pan out this weekend, because you'll see the first hints of it in the things labor commentators say on election night. Labor has always been a party which is extremely focused on its history and its legacy, and rather good at blotting...

I recently remembered that rulers existed, and that everyone had one in high school, which is weird, because I've gone through the rest of my life without the need for one, since I have an easy 12 inch measuring tool to hand, boom tish. At my school, everyone had unique artwork on their...

Congratulations, to celebrate the impending NBA playoffs, you have been given the keys to (i) 16 NBA arenas (ii) a functioning time machine and (iii) a heap of tranquilizer darts. Your mission is to select the 16 best playoff sides in the last 30 years, 8 East, 8 West, crate them up, and stage...

This is the kind of thing which gives me hope for humanity And when General Luo sounded the bugle to fight ''traitors'' and ''corrupt'' officials they suggested he begin his mission at home, noting his siblings are extensively involved in business. But the public relations war really...

At the risk of general board opprobrium, has anyone else tried this? At the start of February me and mate agreed to stay of the alcohol for a month for no other reason than we were curious if we could do it. I am on day 12 of a month without sweet sweet liquor, and I am already noticing some...

They showup on stupidly overpriced cafe menus, from hipster waiters in jack london cardigans, and on masterchef about once every 2 minutes. When you hear them, it is a virtual guarantee you are about to wait an hour or so for something which is going to taste ordinary and be a complete ripoff...

I usually find myself contemplating this at about 11.30 on a sunday evening as i finish the business shirts for the week. At what point in history was the judgment call made that ironed clothes better than un-ironed clothes? Surely that was one of the most ridiculously arbitrary and wasteful...

Just watching all his post game media, and he really deserves a pat on the back. Fronted up, took his medicine, and, extraordinarily, managed to get through it without losing his water about ducking, the crowd, ruck free kicks, late withdrawals or any of the other grab bag of excuses that...

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/national/disturbing-images-of-young-children-involved-in-schoolyard-fight-clubs/story-e6frg15u-1226397808335 Had to have a chuckle at the above, which are described as 'distressing and disturbing images which should shock every parent'. Possibly the internet has...

Was flicking channels the other day at 7.00 and suddenly remembered the above and how much I miss it. Can't believe it has been gone from our screens for three years. There were so many great things to it. -Watching contestants lose their s**t during "the mad minute" . There'd always be one...

So tonight on q&a amidst a barrage of comments about Gina rinehart's weight and ugliness, each of which is punctuated by laughter and applause, Barry Humphries describes something as endless "like Gina rineharts endless hole"... cue laughter and applause from tony jones, david marr and the abc...

Worsfold is seen as a bit of a visionary because of how comprehensively he proved the football world wrong about WC's list over the past few years. Most of the credit he gets is for things which happen behind closed doors and are only apparent in the across the board improvement in our young...

Harley 'RoadHog' Bennell is rightly getting props for what was an extraordinary game from him but i thought swallow also earned some real cred today...he was clearly in no way fit to be out on the field in the last quarter but played through the bung ankle and kept on influencing contests well...

If the AFL released an app which gave you the ability to send back in time a single 140 character message to a player, coach or staff of your choice at any point in the leagues history, who would you send it to, and to when? Assume that the message will be delivered in such a way that the...

Going wayyy too early on this, but just noting Cox's preseason form, surely he must be a smokey to be the first eagle to 300 games. Coxxy is on 227 games heading into this year, has not missed a game in the last two seasons, and, more importantly, at 30 he is the best ruckman in the league...

Whenever I am flicking channels on FTA, it seems like I find the above on ABC3 Weird, weird children's show, oddly compulsive viewing. Essentially, each episode a different group of prepubescent children are locked up in a gothic tower and put through a series of challenges by a disembodied...
