Don't know if it makes me laugh.. or if I rate it.. but last night on Kayo I discovered ESPN Ocho (think that's what it was called).. brilliant!

Cherry pip spitting
Pizza Acrobatic championships
Chess Boxing
Stone skipping championships
Juggle Dodgeball

WTF comes up with this stuff?! :lol:
Shame you missed the greatest moment in ESPN Ocho's history, about 15 years ago Peter LaFleur lead Average Joe's Gym to win the Las Vegas Open Invitational with a come-from-behind, sudden-death dodgeball win over White Goodman and the GloboGym Purple Cobras.
Full credit must be given to Patches O'Houlihan for the intense training with minimal preparation time.

Some fine commentary by Cotton McKnight at the tight stages.

None of this would have been possible without Chuck Norris.

Didn't something similar happen at Angus Monfries' house a couple of years ago?

Does your boss fine you when you do something illegal such as being caught DUI?
This is a fine on top of what he will get from the courts, its a huge penalty compared to the rest of society. As for role model, what rubbish, only 4000 of the Crows fans would know who he is.

My boss wouldn't fine me, he would sack me though as i'm sure would be the case with a lot of other people
If it is specifically written into your work contract, then that is fair enough.

So when will the AFL announce there dates start day pretty much the same as the NRL.

Absolutely no chance the AFL would give the NRL a 'leg up' not find a way to get games on TV screens.
This would only ever apply in NSW and QLD. I doubt an AFL fan from anywhere else in Australia would change codes just because Rugby League is on TV and the AFL isn't. I would still prefer watching old games of footy rather than live Rugby League.

The exact market the AFL has been trying to crack for how long now!!

Geez they are having to fund two entire franchises to crack the market, you think their going to lose any gains they've made over a start date.

They will find a way to have some games playing within a week or two at most of that start date. Even if it means split rounds to start with.
Yeah, was just a general comment.

They might even look at getting the NSW and QLD teams playing the first games if they are really worried.

agree with this comment. I only ever watch Eels games and the likelihood I'd watch Penrith vs Canberra is very very slight indeed, despite it being live.

Go the Panthers!
Booney or Mike Rann :-k

I had a crack at putting together a starting 18 using only 1 player from each team, below is my result. I put this together off the top of my head in about 20 minutes so don't come at me. I will have a better think when I have a bit more time to spare. Definitely some things to tidy up, but not a bad side overall.

AA squad 2018-19 as a defender. Scott decided he was a Ruckman during the 2019 Finals Series.

Struggling with isolation Pirate?
Mate, I'm going into work every day.

At first glance I thought his name was Bennymacca.

Did he change his name in between trolls too?

@BrendMacAFCFan to @AFCFan5?

I'm playing Willunga tomorrow morning.

Great win. That was some sort of last quarter from Parish.

Happy Birthday FC

Won our last 4 games at Adelaide Oval, wish we could have hubbed here lol.

I am not as generous with gifting A grade status, I think that list could almost be trimmed in half. I'll have a crack at it later.

My Friday Forecast -

* Cam Guthrie to act like a tosser at some point
* BC and MT to provide in depth analysis of the umpiring
* Dogs have not beaten a team in the top 8 and this will continue
* Cats by 33 points
* Attendance 2,648

Have scored 1 goal from their last 42 inside 50's.

Happy Birthday MT!

I hope you are able to celebrate with a few home brews in the sauna.

Happy Birthday CM!

I hope there is a Rib Eye on the menu later today.

MONSFAW by 17pts.

The score of 11.13 that the Dogs kicked would be enough to win most games these days.

The beef brisket I put on to smoke this morning.

My Friday Forecast -

* Boooooooooooooo
* Tigers start well
* Boooooooooooooo
* Port fight back and close at the half
* Booooooooooooooo
* Boak BOG for Port
* Dusty BOG
* Tigers by 9pts in extra time
* Attendance 24,234.

I'll get us away then,

R1 #6 Royal Order.

For the trifecta Race 9 #3 Express Pass.

Tuesday and Thursday were good warm ups. I expect us to be in profit by the end of race 6.

TAB have released a statement indicating the safooty syndicate has overloaded their systems.

It may run out of steam before it gets here.

He was finished end of 2016. Surprising he hung on that long and now coming back. clogging up a list

His 2019 Premiership Medal suggests a different story.

Not sure he’ll get picked up.
Has talent but is just horribly lazy.

A few years too young for Geelong to recruit him.

He would be better off staying at North and winning a flag or 2 in a few years and then going to Geelong.

Breakdancing has been added as an Olympic sport for the 2024 games in Paris.

Cry me a river.

They are going to back in Burns

Terrible terrible terrible
If Warner and Pucovski aren't available, what options are thete? Burns recent form is poor, but his test record is pretty good.

Harris and Marnus can open.
Though Burns test record is pretty good like you said so that may get him the nod.
Leave Marnus where he is making runs. We need to pick 2 Openers, not promote a batsman to fill a gap.

All the best for today Amber, and also the rest of Festivus.

Merry Christmas to all of you, and here's hoping the Crows can go Back2Back in 2021.

Need to get Rohit out cheaply, he can score at a rapid clip.

The Offset Smoker I bought in November arrived yesterday.

Hopefully crowd restrictions are lifted by the time we tour there next, they will fill the joint.

Nice one.

My only tip, when you season it keep notes on fuel load, temp reached and how long it stayed there, great learning for when you do your first cook.
Brisket ready to go for tomorrow, nectarine wood dry, smoker looking sexy.

Quick stocktake...approx 23 cans....hopefully 10 or so left for tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Spargo. Heading to Anne's house for coffee and cake this afternoon I'm guessing.

Managed to get up early and the Brisket is smoking away.

My Friday Forecast -

*Mitch Duncan BOG
*Jack Steele keeps the Saints in touch for most of the night
*BC and MT lament the umpires even though they are favouring Geelong
*Cats by 29pts
*Wedgie takes umbrage to any comment posted after the match that refers to Geelong
*Attendance 38,422

My Friday Forecast -

* Fireworks early as Brisbane target the Richmond forwards
* Dusty continues his good form and is BOG for Richmond
* The commentary around Port's guernsey designs gets more comments than this game
* Charlie gets on his bike and kicks 5
* BBFFC by 22pts
* Attendance 35,652

Happy Birthday JK.

Excellent game. Similar to the same fixture in 2019 when Glenelg kicked away in the last few minutes. Lively crowd on Sunday, and the audience participation award probably goes to the Bay bloke to the right of the Percy Fox Stand who grabbed the match ball from an out of bounds on the full call against the Tigers and refused to return it, for what seemed like an age, until the Glenelg defensive lines (all 18 of them) were intact. Not much the umps could do!
I'm sure they contemplated awarding the Eagles something.

Happy Birthday REB

Regards,

Pirate.

Happy Birthday and may the Seas treat you well.

Heading to Pt Douglas next week

Games start on 7 Aug with the GF being played on the long week end of the 3rd October.

SANFL press release
https://sanfl.com.au/league/news/sanfl-releases-updated-fixtures-for-2021-season/

'“For many years, the October long weekend was a really successful tradition for the SANFL Grand Final so both the League and Clubs agreed this was the most favourable date to conclude what has been another unprecedented season due to the Covid pandemic,” Mr Chandler said.'

Since the SANFL believes having the GF on the long weekend is so successful, they could consider leaving it there.

It worked well with a 21-game season, but with an 18-game season the season would have to be started very late April or have lots of byes/split-rounds to drag it out to late October.

21 game season with 8 teams would work.
