Loving everyone writing off the Pies. Sneaky win against West Coast and look out.

Yeah Hinkley but he’s not very good.

Bolton lol

The way he played this year its like he had a compound fracture in his heart.

That's a big call relying on Lycett.
Has only played 70 games in 8 seasons.

Kicking in danger rules out the window.

Some howlers missed by the umps.

Belgian beer cafe goes alright.

$ 39 ribeye was nice washed down with a few cherry beers.
I'd go back again for sure.

I mean we all knew Polec was leaving but a post from UK not about crowd sizes.

I’m literally in shock! Definitely didn’t see that coming :lol:
Be honest you're a bit butthurt!

You guys must be butthurt having a 6 day break for the preliminary final, anyone told your President you have to win this week first
Are you Carey's big bruvva?

18 metre goal square I don't get.
That's smacks of the broadcaster telling the game it wants more goals which equals more adds.
Or on fox more dribble from commentators.

With the right conditions and player, a kick out from full back has it landing in the 50 metre arc.

Ken Hunter was interesting on open mike.
Hard unit that one.

It'll go the way the NRL footy show went.

In this climate of...hurry up and offend me so I can sue,
there's no room for these sorts of shows.
Sad that there's so many people without a sense of humour anymore, everyone's so uptight.

Looks like a musketeer.

Shat on Melbourne now GWS.

Ordinary human.

And he’s only a B+ grader.
Never got the hype about this bloke.

I’d take Wingard over him any day of the week.

Er...no.
A fit Scully makes Chad look like a D grader in my opinion.

The last 2 years or so we stepped over the line in relation to the spirit of cricket.
Warner has contributed to this greatly.
Can anyone see that previous captains,Waugh, Ponting, Taylor,Chappell (both)
Would've taken him aside and told him to pull his head in.

Smith isn't a big enough character to do this.
CA however should've stepped in on his behalf so heads should roll.

We should continue to play hard no compromising cricket, but have a firm grasp of the spirit of cricket.
Abuse is not sledging its just plain abuse.
Sledging is an art form that should only practised by people with at least half a brain. Davey hasn't qualified!
Questioning batting techniques and courage are acceptable.
Telling a bowler he's slower than his mum or questioning his field placements are also acceptable.
Giving Ol butter fingers second slip a clip, or calling a fielder custard arm are also allowed.

As for trying to get bans lifted, that's a joke.
These blokes are lucky to be able to represent Australia again....well one will.

I think the ATCA can use discretion and award a draw.
If payneham really have a problem with that then come out and say it.
They'd get slammed!
Its a draw end of story.

Idiots.

They're all looking for a new job/employer. Libs know they're cooked.

Actually can't be disposal efficiency cause Dangers in it.

If they call up Wade then we aren't serious. He's a shit keeper and can't bat at this level.

Carey has to come in and bugger me Nick Marsh gets the captaincy.

Not overly disappointed in the result. Finch doesn't snatch it and makes 40 we win.

Great test match wicket. Way better than one team making 500 in the first innings and batting for 2 days.
No balls not called shits me!

Not many clubs have covers though.

Which is very poor form by the clubs, every year we seem to be playing less matches and then they complain come finals time about opposition supporters bringing their own drinks.....


Not hard to apply for Recreation and Sport office grants.
Covers are a nightmare.
Getting blokes to get them on is OK but getting them off on a windy day alone is bloody dangerous.
Everyone's at work during the day so if there's a window in the weather to prep during working hours they don't come off.

Handscombe missed that by 2 bat widths.

Get forward mate or I'd get you out.
Rubbish technique!

I'm just so glad I don't have to listen to Mark Nicholas anymore, or Slater for that matter?

Roo in the headlights. Lol
Seems he can't play inswingers.

Relocate all cotton and rice especially to somewhere on the Ord river.
If a manufacturers pollutants are hurting the environment they have to put measures in place to minimise the risk. Very expensive exercise for say a steel mill or mine. If they don't they get shut down.

Can someone tell me why these landholders aren't shut down for ruining the environment downstream?
Why the federal minister, who presides over these landholders isn't held accountable?

I learnt to waterski on Menindie lakes as a 13 year old and couldn't believe how much water was in them....and in the middle of a desert.

Now a 13 year old could only learn how to parasail.
It disgusts me.

End of rant!

At the end of the day gentlemen one of our major rivers is now broken.

So an engineer would find out how/why it broke then fix it and putting systems in place to make sure it doesn't break again.
It may run a little rough at times but it will not break.

Scientists have done their work now its time for a fitter to step in and fix the damn thing.

Any body or company caught stealing water goes directly to jail, just like if I robbed a bank.

Kind of makes me giggle.. but all the media outlets proudly proclaiming how Adelaide has broken the record - like it's something we should be proud of and out celebrating. :lol:


Exactly. For me it’s concerning reaching record temps doesn’t paint a pretty future for my children.
The previous record was set in 1939. Its cyclic. Kids will be OK.

I listened to her speech. She actually said the Lnp will win the election.
When what she thinks is.....I don't want to be the opposition after the election.
This is how warped this government is.

Even when you spell it right, self funded retirees are far from being crucified!

Great shot by the skipper
Slashing at one that he needed a broomstick to reach. Again no foot movement. Any No. 11 can bat like that :oops:
The Redbacks are officially a JOKE of a team and an Embarrassment to the Shield Competition.

That was an absolutely disgusting shot, great example for the rest of the young team.

Head is the Only player in Australia who can continually play horrid shots and nothing ever happens about it.
Maxwell plays a terrible shot and he is bashed from pillar to post about it.
Probably because more often than not he makes runs.
He's averaging 50 at test level.
Maxwell isn't!

Is Hazelwood going to be fit in time cause he's in before Starc for mine.

Can't say that I'm a big fan of his but I'd sooner see tighter rules on scragging off the ball, especially when it's 50 odd metres away, there is no need to grab at all.

There are times when two blokes are just continuing on a with a scuffle from in play.
Play on.

amber_fluid wrote:Will Setterfield lays the perfect tackle and gets suspended for it.
It was unfortunate the lad got concussion but it was a good tackle.

It’s officially netball, they’ll be wearing skirts this week.

You must be an old dinosaur like me.

It was a tackle to hurt not dispossess.
Can't do that no more.

Usman woosed it. Pretty poor effort.

Ablett getting booed a lot last night.
Bloody racists!
Geelong looked the goods but Richmond's defence wasn't great.

AFL will issue an apology in 4 years times saying they should have done more at the time.
I still don't get that 99.9% of people booing Goode's were not doing it because of his race!
Yet anyone who boos a dickhead that just happens to not be white are branded.
If Kelly or Alir whack blokes unfairly but get off (numerous times) will people who boo get arrested?

Atca threatened with disaffiliation over the pitch shortening fiasco for u12's.
What are your thoughts on playing on a Saturday after a Friday night u12's game with scuff marks just short of the danger area?
11 year olds will do stuff all to the pitch

Angst over nothing
We had a trial and kids with spikes made a nice furrow marking centre.
I'm not the only one thinking its unworkable at community level.
Is there any possible solution to this?
Yep. Ours will go to hard wicket.
The other option is having 2 wickets prepped every week.
Double the work for curators. Double water usage. Add in the extra grounds. Some have 3.
At community level that's a nightmare.

CA are trying to standardise the game at schoolboys level. I'm all for that!
The national schoolboys championship is on turf on shortened wickets.
They are leaning on SACA and they're leaning on ATCA.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for making improvements to junior cricket but at community level its just silly.

Do it at district cricket by all means. CA cough up the bill at that level of cricket.
There you are.... Solved!

Checked the scores this morning.
When I fell asleep I didn't think Smith would've tonned up. He was on about 60.
Did they start bowling full tosses on middle or something?
Siddle just wow! Shows what experience and guts will do.
Interesting night coming up. I hope both Patto's bowl well and it doesn't rain ffs.

$500 to Newstart recipients. Pokie barons in lower socioeconomic areas, KFC, Macca's and the local dealer man are rubbing their hands together.*


*Offered as comedic value, not a reflection of all Newstart recipients.
And will give the Liberals an excuse to push through their drug testing of Newstart recipients trial. As it should. Why should people who test positive to any drugs receive any payment from the government
Because addiction is an illness that needs treatment, just like any mental illness.

Dutton having corona.....karma bitch!

Are the AFL players allowed to get jobs to supplement their income whilst they’re on reduced wages?
I know most of them won’t need to but some 1st or 2nd year players may need to.
Does their contract allow it?

Seeing they are getting a charmed run here they should be put into the Centrelink Call Centres to listen into the conversations the employees are hearing to get a dose of reality.
When the AFL does get up and running it would be nice if no supporters went to the first week of games (what's 1 more week after 3-6 months of no footy!). It would send a nice message to the players that the money is there because of supporters, not the other way around.
Good edit.

He gave the example of road deaths. You could set the death toll to zero if you changed the speed limit to 5km/hr, but we don't, we choose to allow some people to die for the benefit of reduction in transport times. The same goes for covid, we need to find an acceptable level of covid deaths and get on with it
That's a stupid comparison.
Not all road deaths are caused by speed. That's why they are called accidents.
We put seatbelts and now airbags in cars to make driving a lot safer with less deaths.
We are in iso for the same reason. Less deaths!

So what you are saying is 100000 people's lives mean nothing because its messing with your lifestyle?

Well champ its a choice, your mum or dad, sister or brother or your lifestyle.
I know what I'm choosing.

The numbers coming out of the USA are mindboggling.
Half a million infections, almost a third of Adelaide's population!

Didn’t his lawyer get the funds and he was going to drip feed him when he needed it


Sounds great in theory, I'm sure plenty of dealers would give him credit.

Yep given Ben Cousins celebration status i reckon his paying to use ratio would be pretty low. He would get credits pretty easy and even then I reckon a few dealers would love just having Cousins 'hanging of their arm' for their own ego.

If he went broke being a millionaire and still got credits he must have consumed a lot of ice.
I'm sure he had plenty of "friends" that have helped.

I've realised something through this pain in the arse virus!

We really are the lucky country.
Blessed that we live on a big island.

The way we've handled this crisis makes me feel proud of our country and most of the people.
Our health system, while still has issues, has handled it pretty well.

Both the government and opposition have made the right calls mostly at the right time.
Thank f#ck I'm an Aussie!

Hahaha. There's a remedy for that.

Good topic of discussion.
On stats its hard to disagree. Going from lightweight to light heavyweights is a remarkable record.
This stat alone says in any weight division his speed and skill stands out.

Clay/Ali however fought in an era of big big money.
This meant he had no padded title defences...against the biggest, hardest punchers on the planet.
Big money meant big pressure and he always stood up.

Sugar Ray Leonard's record is right up there as well.
His title fights against Hagler, Hearns and Duran showed his skill and movement. Those 3 were tough motherf$ckers!
Again, big big money bought about big pressure and he generally delivered.

My top three.

How about Aussie fighters?

I think if people keep going to shops in large numbers restrictions may stay longer in this phase

How can they justify restrictions when there is no virus present. Time to wake up \\


Cos the SHEEP believe what the the Main Stream Media prints,

Wake up all you sheep we are being conned.
Get woke people.

Which one of you is Choc?

Clubs will be given the opportunity to sit out the year if they wish to and I'd say the majority will take up that offer.

If clubs choose to do this they will be signing their own death warrant.
You're a big club with lots of juniors like my club.

Where's everyone going to train?
Something as simple as disinfecting change rooms on game day....5 times two rooms (Assuming you'll be able to use them)
will be pretty onerous. Then again after Sunday games.

Players on contracts will still need paying.
Where's the money coming from with no gate or bar?

Sub in Graham Wright for Thomas and its about right.
