Traditionally, a face-off thread is where we come together for some detailed and well researched insights into an upcoming game.
And that's totally what you're getting. Absolutely. Focusing on the right things in here.
I've done face-off's before (they always seem to be in April?), so was...
I am serious. I am not attending this site for respectful football debate and various mateships (looking at you John Howard, yes you know I mean you) if I have to look at this bullshit.
I'll *in go you mate. Its the new year, you need a new orifice.
Tucked away in the never-ending CM debate threads was a fair bit of ignorance and misunderstanding around meditation.
Personally, I've been doing it off and on for a number of years and I feel like I've got a pretty good experience with it and understanding of it in general. I was a bit...

I have travelled into the future,

Figured we didn't have a thread for it.
Reckon there will be a fair crowd for this one - top of the table clash. Including Me! I'm going to go.
Brisbane are a different beast, we'll want to start well this time, rather than only showing up after quarter time as per the last 2 weeks. Don't want...

Win!
Hendo, VB, our constant whipping boys, I am looking at you.
Ratkins, crouch, Hartigan, Lyons, well done guys.
Not necessarily saying that there were no mistakes, just making the observation that all of these guys did some great things. And even better, didn't do too much wrong...
Hi Folks,
Here's one for the next time Dwayne is commentating a crows game.
It will help you get through it. God knows we need something to help.
The Rules
"Drinks" marked in this game are a sip - not a whole glass. Think of your liver people, you've got 3 hours of this to sit through...
The game is called football.
I'd suggest that it's 5 games now lost because we cannot kick a freaking set shot to save our lives.
I'm sick of it. Sick of the easy set shot missed, ran down the ground for an opposition goal.
In fact, when I think back on it, that's how I'm going to remember...
I have been watching AFL for long ******* time.
If we're not going to allow blokes to go and get the ball, then that's all good.
I just want to be clear about it:
Being the SECOND person to get to a contest is the objective.
It is illegal to pick up the ball first, or even attempt to do so...
First they came for the tackle, with the reinterpretation of the HTB rule,
and I didn't speak out because our blokes weren't so great at tackling and pressure.
Then they came for the forwards, with the hands in the back rule,
and I didn't speak out because our blokes didn't have a big dominant...
It rocketed through my head in 3 milliseconds.
Much like my days in the Bragg labs, deriving the wave space equation (from normal forms!) for fun, and postulating uses for eigenvalues and Laplace transforms in the Z-dimension. Lolz, Beams had suggested to me that a Fourier transform applied to...
I really want to.
God damn I'm a nice guy.
Boncer, I figure you owe me money for this.
I'd also like to point out that this being the internet and stuff, asking anonymous randoms to not do something, is like asking your toddler to not put that thing in their mouth.
ie, it's pre-emting a...
Ok, I admit to drinking heavily.
But as a TOTAL n00b (and I am vaguely edumacated, so cut some slack) I still don't understand some salient points.
I read the rules so there is that.
Questions:
Why are there not more teams? What if my supposedly new team does not get off the ground?

Jesus, that KILLS us.
Moran hits the post, score at the other end.
Otten misses on the run, 40 out, score at the other end.
Sloane misses from 10 meters out, score at the other end.
Heads drop, shoulders slump, you can see the psychological impact on the boys. Nothing saps the confidence more...

You know... I don't agree. I think he intended to tackle viciously, but 3 games?
Edit: s**t, Trengove, not Trengrove. Whatever.
Here's what I got:
Keeping the margin to 96 points was a fantastic effort.
The best players for melbourne were mostly South Australians.
My home theater has a timeshifting function.
So stop posting it in every thread!
I am yet to see one of you lot actually suggest a player who I have even heard of before.
It's not happening.
Such a strange team Carlton - 5 fairly high level players then thirty odd potatoes that get dug up and washed for the weekend. Not interested, thanks.
Where did these guys come from!
And am I doing it right?
ROOOOOOOORYYYYYY!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLKER!
Just trying to make sure I get it right folks.
Still feels good the next day. :)
I'm very dissapointed.
That second quarter... was the worst quarter I have seen from the boys. Ever.
Yes, ever.
Where was the pride? Where was the effort?
And then to come so close, but ultimately fail, because of Q2... that kind of hurts.
I suppose I could take heart at Q4, but actually...

Hi guys, one of your own will contribute a more North-melbourne-centric perspective at some point. :)

Hi Folks,
I'm doing the Adelaide Board, NMFC vs Crows Faceoff thread for this week, and it's been suggested that I should try to find a North supporter to do the NMFC perspective. Now I live in Adelaide, so around me I've got either people who drink Chardonnay and debate Jung for fun, or...
This page:
http://www.afc.com.au/past%20player%20list/tabid/4498/default.aspx
on the AFC site doesn't list them as having played 300.
I swear Nige kicked a 50m goal on the run in his 300th. I remember the glory.
And it's been years since I've dropped acid. So what games are they not counting...
