Patience, Bingers. It will hit the tonne. As sure as the Mighty Dees are Premiers, we’ll hit the tonne. 

The tonne is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms. It is also referred to as a metric ton. It is equivalent to approximately 2,204.6 pounds; 1.102 short tons, and 0.984 long tons. The official SI unit is the megagram, a less common way to express the same mass.

Surely you mean a ton - as in 100 runs -> cricket

Care to adjudicate?

Isn’t it so that ton and tonne are the same thing, just as program and programme are the same?

Let’ hope @Demonstonecan settle this. 🙂

 

One ton is roughly equivalent to 2200 pounds or 1000 kg’s. To put this into perspective, the average adult male weighs about 90 kg’s. It would take 11 adult men to equal a ton.

For those wondering about other things that weigh one ton I’ve provided a list below

  • Baby Humpback Whale
  • Walrus
  • Black Rhinoceros
  • Wild Asian Water Buffalo
  • 1979 Volkswagen Beetle
  • 110.6 million feathers
  • 333 Standard Red Bricks
  • 73 Bullion bars of gold
  • 31.2 cubic feet of saltwater
  • Adult Male Moose
  • Saltwater Crocodile
  • 22 cubic feet of sand
  • Great White Shark

Your welcome

Tonne is the name for the metric unit. Ton was (is, in some very limited parts of the world) the imperial unit.

It's not out of the question that "tonne" is used as a synonym by some fancy pants recalcitrant avoirdupoirists in the same way that "programme" became differentiated from "program". (Program was the original English spelling, then the first Jesus freaks went to America and took the spelling with them. Some time afterwards the English decided to Frankify their language with  fawncy spellings, such as "programme". For that touch of class. Same word, different spelling.)

This group is special.

Bloody Special  They have with the coaches  etc. changed the outlook of our Club and really given us a chance to get back to where we were 57 years ago. One of the powerhouses of the AFL.

Thank you every one Thank  you one and all. Let's make this a dynasty of a classic kind which we maintain for a decade or more. Top of the Heap!!! Go Dees you might Demons.

The usage of "ton" in this context most likely derived from the old measurement of tonnage in shipping, where a ton was taken to equal 100 cubic feet of general cargo space.

Anything that reached 100 (e.g cricket score, vehicle speed, number of pages) became referred to as "hitting the ton".

Does Libba think it's his job to remonstrate every time a Melbourne player tackles a Dogs player? Is he the faux tough guy that has to push any opposition player that has fairly brought a teammate of his to the ground.

Perhaps if he spent more time getting in to position and less time pushing and shoving he might have been more effective. 

Jack just gets on with it he cops a wack and just gets up and plays on.

With the release of the new Matrix movie, I thought that making this analogy was apt.

I've been thinking of the best way of describing our our comeback from the halfway point of the 3rd quarter over the last few months. This is close to the best way of doing so. That said, the Doggies are in no way the first team I'd compare to Agent Smith (the Hawks, Bombers or Eagles are worthy candidates). I do have a soft spot for them for sure.
 

Like Neo, it was almost like when we re-realized that we WERE the best team in the league, nothing they could throw at us would land.

I can't remember if I've said on here before, but I'm gonna say it again, so glad someone thought to go with the jumper point during the many goal celebrations in the game. Such a classic but you can really only bring it out in big moments, otherwise it's cheapened. So to very legitimately do this in a GF and actually remember to do it among the chaos was great.

Just wondering aside from kayo I know there's the afl app but I found in the past I couldn't use the afl app on my big tv. Can you use it on android TVs? 

I dont really want to give any of my hard earned to Murdoch.

Your tv a smart tv? See what is available. AFL app on phone has replays. 


Watched the replay (again).  So many magic moments that BT simply misses.  There are so many small acts that add up to greatness.  15 goals to 1.  Unbelievable.

mrs Nekkid sees me watching the replay : ‘are you winning?’… ‘not right now, but I have faith’ (bang, bang, bang, bang, etc)!!

glorious!

DETECTIVE SERGEANT CHRISTIAN PETRACCA: in my deep cover disguise as a professional football player, I have secured an on-field position in a football team and have tracked the killer to Perth. I have reason to believe he could be here in --- wait ... THAT'S HIM!

THAT BLOKE: Oh Christ. What's he doing here? Is he looking at me? Don't panic. Act natural. Cover the scars with your hands like you're just ... oh Christ. It's all on camera too. CURSE YOU, DETECTIVE SERGEANT CHRISTIAN PETRACCA!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
