Last night there was an incident where Dusty was inside the the protected area the Richmond players was in possession of the ball the ump was yelling get out Dusty, get out Dusty, get out Dusty, get out Dusty Dusty didn't get out before the player took the kick is there a rule with a penalty for that or not.

So what, blatant incorrect call then??

 

[Shell]

Im shocked the ump could even speak while having his lips against Dusty's ass..

 

[you pick one]

And I thought the shepherding the man on the mark was gone but there must be grey areas there,they will have to close off the loophole with players going back 5mtr on the mark stand has to mean stand.

The basic rules of soccer have not changed at all. Certain minor tweaks are made - in some competitions only - but otherwise it hasn't changed.

You're right, no other sporting body is so insecure that it needs to deliberately change rules and do it constantly.

The NBA screws around with rules quite often. But not to the degree that the AFL does.

Soccer pitches can be different lengths or widths as well.

Similar with Rugby League (don't follow union so not sure on that) - yes the length of the field between the try lines has to be the same length, but the length of the in-goal area can change

I can remember at least one field in Aus where the in-goal area was significantly smaller than at other grounds and it would often screw up the opposition kicker/s because when trying to kick for the in-goal, they'd have to pull something off the kick otherwise it'd go out every time

Not much. Take kids to sport in the morning, depending on cash might go to this little carnival thing at Watergardens tomorrow night.
If not probs just get pissed or something.

Just used my new washer. Pretty good. Took like 15 mins. By the time I got outta the shower clothes were washed.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Might have a new job too if things go to plan. Night shift only 4 nights a week and only 8 hour shifts.
Would suit me so good.

 

[Spazz Cat]

I take it the tall guy with the long hair is the main kid?
The fat kid is the fat guy?
The chick is obviously the chick.

Yeah I always use the "quick wash" setting- takes 15 mins. Then maybe do an extra "spin" cycle another 15 mins, then dry it. Or else skip the dryer and just dry it in my apartment in the sun

True. Same. Only quick wash and extra spin.
Always only use dryer but.

 

[Shell]

You'd have to have some seriously soiled clothes, to have to use anything but the quick wash lol

Hahahahahah, I actually usually do. And quick wash is fine.
I reckon you'd seriously have to jump in a septic tank etc to justify using normal.

 

[Shell]

Yeh I dont usually jump into any septic tanks...

But you never know, one day in the future.

What if you dropped your phone down one? Would you go in and get it? I dunno if I would.

 

[Shell]

Lol my phone is about 3 years+ old.

No I would not.

Am fairly certain this phone is "on the way out" so no. Not jumping

 

[Shell]

Am really careful too- if im on a pier or something. Will pretty much keep my phone in my pocket or my bag.

Dont wanna risk it.

My brother is coming down tomorrow some time and going out for a family dinner

About 3/4 years after he cracked the shits & stopped buying the Walking Dead annuals as presents for me, he's decided it time to help finish the collection - so getting book 11 for my birthday

He's also bringing down his tent, mattress and camp cot for me to borrow - makes it easier than trying to buy something (for now)

 

[Shell]

Lol, me and my brothers dont even give gifts for birthdays, ever.

We do at xmas tho.

 

[Shell]

Am just not close to my brothers, at all. never have been and never will.

 

[cats_09]

My brother used to ask what I wanted, I'd give the name of a book and he'd ignore it

Then once he started with the Walking Dead annuals it made things easy as he could just buy the next edition - they're now up to book 16, so still a few years of presents to come

Once I was with my ex and we were both on the dole. And we'd spent all our money after paying the bills at the bowling club in a few hours and we went and sat on a wooden pier.
And she goes you spent all your money.
And I went no I didn't, I've still got this left.
And I opened my wallet upside down and all the rest of the money went down a crack in the pier into the water.
