I don't think it does more harm than good. I think it does a lot of good in the long run.
A slur is a slur. It doesn't need to be thrown directly at a person with that characteristic for it to cause harm.
For example, I don't think the AFL would say it was acceptable for a player to call...
I did, Lawsy
Chief took a point away, I added it back. It was And_ROOS who missed the point off when they posted after me.
Thanks for fixing And_ROOS' error.
Thanks for the well wishes, mate - I appreciate it!
Yeah, it's so weird that my brain finds it so tiring when it's always something I've found relaxing. I attempted Sunflowers a few months back but my brain felt it was more like work than not, but maybe it's time to try again. 👍
I do - I had it on display for about 10 years but I deconstructed it the other year to make space for some other sets. It's all bagged up separately from the loose bricks though.
Annoyingly, since I've been sick I've not felt well enough to build, which was only a few months after I took...
Yeah, I had glandular fever in my very early 20s and it took me a long time to get over it; I relapsed several times because I had no understanding that I hadn't actually got over it. (You think you're fine and then bang, you're not.)
Now I have Long Covid and elements of it are manifesting...
Cheers for everything over the years, Axe - a huge effort and greatly appreciated.
It'll be interesting to see how he goes.
Hardwick's version was that Clarko explained he was behind Rioli (and other 3peat players) in selection order, so suggested he try back pocket so he'd get into the...
Yeah, that's what I was thinking - the 23 GF would be easy as an introduction because it was fairly goal for goal.
But I don't want them getting any ideas about not supporting Hawthorn! And being biased, I think Hawthorn's chains of play during that threepeat era were incredible to watch.
I...
If you were introducing people to AFL, which Hawthorn game(s) would you show them?
I'm leaning towards something from the threepeat era, but I think some of the matches I enjoy the most (Geelong PF 13, Sydney GF 14) are on the back of a lot of history, which might be clouding my judgement...
I'm a little disappointed even though his play has been frustrating at times.
I feel like Kosi had potential, and I think third forward/ruck chop out might be his go, which he didn't have much opportunity to play as this year with Lewis injured. But I appreciate he didn't manage to cement a...
I can't decide if it's a relief or not.
I'm glad it's not being faked but if it's not being called from screens, what's the excuse for Kelly's commentary always being 3 players behind where the ball is?
You really forget how time moves on with Lego and how useful the staged bags are.
You just gave me flashbacks to building Tower Bridge, and I got loads of plastic containers to sort into - and it easily took a whole day to sort the lot.
I remember one of my friends patiently explaining to a...
Yeah, he absolutely did - but the media has a short memory; if he just cops his whack for getting it wrong, the wider AFL (i.e. non Hawthorn) viewership completely forgets about how much he went on about it.
By doubling down, he's inviting the other pundits to bait him. Frankly, I hope they...
Super happy at the Eldorado Fortress news. My collection as a kid was 90% Pirates but I didn't have this set; I bought it secondhand for myself about 15 years ago when I started getting back into Lego.
So really stoked to see a re-imagining to go along with Barracuda Bay.
The irony is that there's no shame in holding your hands up and admitting that you got a call wrong. It's inevitable; as a pundit, you're not going to get every prediction right - and he wasn't the only pundit to suggest it.
But he is now the only one doubling down - and he can't see that...
When I asked in the UK a few years back, they weren't paid to do it - but as they were big Lego fans, it was seen as a perk of the job; getting to build a set without having to buy it. I don't think it was required - you could say no.
Thanks for the double points heads up. Bought a few...
