Engorged Onion

You look like one of the most under rated guitarists of the last 20 years or so Steve Craddock. Are you Steve?

Well done for not censoring your face! (unless of course it's someone else!)

That's brilliant @Watson11 - my hypothesis was correct :)

Does anyone have a calorific indicator?🤣

It cant be said either way. Correlation isn't causation....and you know what is said about hindsight. Not meaning you @DubDee, but the language of Premiership Hangover is superficial punditry - but it's what 95% of readily accessible AFL pundits do.

What are the factors that you think create the media notion of a 'hang over;? Personally, I dislike that language, as it infers that expectations (that have been set by media/supporters) haven't been met, or that once a Grand Final has been won, the players aren't as compelled - which I feel is a disservice to the playing group and FD.

Great question! I was hoping by the nature of 'Every Angle' in the title of this thread, that the down the ground vision would have been part of it...alas.

Jack was very very good at not buying into his frustration. The quick multiple shakes of head - but steely eyes on Liberatore.

From an Explain Pain (and Fatigue) perspective - the body wears in, it doesn't wear out. Not only was Burgess/Gooodwin/et al. exposing the body physically to distress, but emotionally to the discomfort as well - both are forms of exposure therapy and imperative in managing the experience of pain . Which dovetails in to the anecdotal experience of what @tiers has mentioned above.Here is one of the coolest video's I have ever seen on explaining the science behind pain, as well as been amusing, it takes very complex understandings and makes it digestible. Without boring people about one of my favourite topics -(pain and psychology) - what influences the pain (and fatigue) experience is 'meaning'. What I mean is the meaning behind the experience, will amplify the 'felt' experience. Take Dermott in the 89' grand final - he wasnt superhuman - his brain was sufficiently able to experience the discomfort in service of what mattered - as it was a grand final (the meaning) - this would not have happened in round 18. What does this mean for Burgess and the playing group - well, clearly there are thesholds that the tissues being used can sustain before its over its tipping point... but what Burgess and Co have done, is slowly increase the baseline of that threshold....and the lived experience is that the players can cope - both physcially and emotionally - and this is ALSO what plays out in the final quarters of matches - its belief - and I mean genuine belief that the players can 'run out' games - as its based on lived experience, which means that they are less stressed (which impacts on fatigue experiences --> disposal efficency) etc... I would presume the athletes will also now be MORE willing to continue to train in a similar manner, and push the envelop - due to the rewards that have come in 2021. (Like Pavlov's dogs - linking success to earlier discomfort in service of something important).

In having a one month anniversary watching of round 23 onwards this afternoon, before I head out to a local pub. (with my 5yo who wants to wear a tuxedo 🤣 and we will honour, as he wants to go to a fancy restaurant (its the BHP))... Every single time I see this person, post Max Gawn's goal against the cats, snapping form the boundary - I just feel he/she encapsulates every Melbourne supporter who drinks...EVERY.SINGLE.TIME *I'm just going to neck what I have in my hand, get another, kick back and enjoy the show!

No blame here - I was more concerned about your 'oft quoted' OCD traits... 😀

Presume that's the other way around Andy?

How's me math!! 🤩

I heard about it yesterday - apparently at The Potato Shed in Drysdale @drysdale demon - but the proceeds do not go to the club, allegedly.

Let's say it is $30 and a70,000 attend. That's a cool $2,100,000. That $2,100,000 can be used towards a belated thorough analysis the 2018 Preliminary Final.

I suspect EO was using a bit of 'dry' humour.

gets lots of the pill though...

Thanks for that, but is there a given reason why they are adverse?

Why are they particularly adverse? Personally I am in two minds about it.

Did I see on this thread (which I now cannot find) some uber cool shoes for sale - were they new balance? or adidas? the gif rotated through the varying colours , and I was rather hammered at the time I looked at it. 🍺

Nah, just trying to find 'somewhere' to wedge in a $hite reference to his name from the run sheet.

Hall of Famer?

Does anyone who follow other sports and leagues around the world have another team where there is a similar scenario going on? Or are we here in the AFL (and I suspect we are) the only league whereby not all teams play each other twice, and/or multiple teams share one home ground as well as other ground inequities?

I thought the same with that statement!
