If the GF is played anywhere else besides the MCG for this season only, would you be devastated or meh so be it?

Presumably we'll be in it so would prefer it be in Hobart.

Anyone else got coaching experience?

This year I’m playing coach for a senior men’s soccer team.

Jingos, talk about a learning curve.

All it takes is one player to act the berk to fu** everything up.

Yep. Coached senior and junior cricket. It's a thankless job.

Dealing with egos and parents, living their lives through their kids. Organising teams at the last minute as blokes pulls out on every Friday night.

I once made a grown man cry actual tears when I told him he wasn't opening the bowling that day because he was 45 minutes late for our warm up. He sooked it up all day. I made sure he never played for us again after that.

Not easy being Captain either.
Look at S Waugh, he dropped Warnie once after Warnie hadn’t been bowling well after a shoulder injury.
Waughs decision won the next test and saved the series and Warnie is still sooking about it many years later

I have a Swann SWNVK-885808. Decent, good quality and does the job.

Caught some dickhead dumping crap on my brothers land about 2 weeks ago. Posted the footage on our community FB page and by the next day, it was gone.

Adelaide ruckman Reilly O'Brien has branded his looming AFL opponent Nic Naitanui "lazy and unfit" in game notes he mistakenly posted on social media.

Ahead of his duel against the West Coast star on Saturday, O'Brien posted on Twitter: "Run off him hard, he is lazy and unfit, will have a field day getting ball and marking everything."

O'Brien soon deleted the post and replaced it with a video, saying: "I have had an absolute 'mare on my social media today.

"Coming up this week against who probably I think is the best ruckman in the competition at the moment, Nic Nat."

Yeah, sure. Should consider umpiring with those back pedalling skills.

Depends on how tech savvy you are..

I like ubiquiti unfi, as it’s a control your own system type deal, all camera footage is stored on your own HDD. Fairly easy to set up if you incorporate their switches and servers.

Camera G4 Pro - Ubiquiti Store

4K night-vision camera designed for long-range, indoor and outdoor surveillance.

But apple has updated their HomeKit home automation stuff recently, which adds face recognition and point of interest/automated zones to their existing setups. Also done using internal home computers. Good for a few cameras.

I’d steer clear of the cloud, pay by the month netgear arlo type systems, as you might as well just hire a security company.

Tech savy enough but it's more the installation of cables through Walls and Roofs that's the issue.

Put this together for another thread, but thought you blokes might find it interesting. Since 2000, the average height of AFL players has increased by about 2-3cm, yet the average weight has noticeably dropped. You could probably attribute this to players no longer getting on the tinnies after a game, and a higher focus on fitness and sport science. Still, I found it interesting.

DesertRoo, may I ask, is this side a speciality or a hobby? Only cos I’m thinking of putting in a alarm system and wondered what would be a good system
If that’s out of your league mate, that’s grand, just wondered

Was looking at Eufy this morning. My only worry was the magnetic socket that holds the camera to the arm. If it’s not out of reach it could be goodbye Camera

I’m no specialist or licensed, so take what ever I say with a grain of salt.
But what are you trying to achieve?

because there’s a lot of cheap motion/door/window sensors out there, that work with iot and ifttt, you could use a NAS drive, as the hub and speakers that would set off a noise if they were triggered.
They’ll generally scare someone, taking video is more of an insurance policy, as it won’t deter anyone, it’ll just help you retrieve what’s gone.

Off topic, but with ifttt, a friend set up a surveillance system, that fired off a acecore neo drone so it came blurting out with with lights and a speaker, if someone crossed into one of the cameras automated zones. Completely illegal but you could do something similar with a cheap autonomous drone, like below..

All good, Just seemed you were very knowledgeable on the subject, so thought I’d ask.
Mainly deterrence for the reasons you stated, one shiite is stolen it’s pointless.
Thank you anyway that actually is pretty good and gives me some ideas

So you reckon sirens are a better option?
