Best Value Way to Watch the Footy...?
Four 'n' Twenty 18 pack going for $23.99 at Costco. Might sneak a couple in under my beanie...

Best Value Way to Watch the Footy...?
Yeah, its a topic that has been covered before, but I thought I'd begin anew in case there's been innovation in the field, so here goes: What is the cheapest/best value way to get footy on the TV or streaming app? Free to air sux, obviously, and Kayo is comprehensive but expensive and Foxtel is even more so. Any other alternatives? In explanation, now that I'm back in Aus permanently, membership/attendance is competing with TV coverage for a limited supply of $AUD, so... I turn to Demonland for help and support. I mean, where else?

TRAINING: Friday 2nd December 2022
Phwoar..... what a simile. High art. Beads n flowers, guns n diesel all in one.

We cannot draft again from WA
Langdon hails from South Yarra, I believe. Lever from Romsey.

Just build that bogan-proof fence and be done with 'em... 😉

Mapping the Barassi Line
I've been living overseas for 20 years. The first time I returned to Aus and went to Marvel, I cam away feeling as if the place had been designed form the foundation s up to fleece the customer of as much cash as possible. Even the pies are more expensive there. The game and the identities are not the same, but things always change, don't they? IMO, its the result of the age of debt which is hopefully coming to an end now. There are too many teams and the talent is definitely spread too thin. If we think in terms of 'elite talent,' then F1 has 20 drivers. That's 20 in the entire world. Of course, there are hundreds of engineers, so the analogy falls down somewhat, but that's truly elite. Comparing AFL to American football, imagine a single US state with a population halfway between Texas and Florida, running a league of 18 lists of 44 players. How elite would that league be? Not very elite.

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
When I find myself yelling "run!" and "run the ball!" in frustration at the TV, I know we are in trouble. Another one of those games where we don't play to our strengths, bombing it long and going slow, slipping and fumbling and too darn soft..... Injuries don't bode well, but I reckon we'll be back after the bye.

Smokin' Maxie Video Caption Competition
Witnessed this bizarre and amusing sight after this evening's game. Thought it might generate some amusing titles/descriptions/captions.... 653834819_SmokinMaxie.mp4

Eddie’s Bold Plan to Revamp Umpiring
I like it.

The very, very contentious 50 for Dissent Rule
The umps need to be professionals. Would solve many problems. Pay them as well as players and you'd have every fitness fanatic player-who-wasn't-quite-good-enough fangin' at the bit to be positive part of footy....

Docklands Stadium Makeover
Baseball is very similar..... Went to watch the game and it was the least thing on most people's minds. Very disappointing from an Aussie's POV. Bloody hell, just turn it all off! Maybe get Jack Viney to do an ad, "Even without fan activation, you still have a game kids can love...."

Farewell Luke Jackson
Lots of people overseas refer to it as AFL. Gives me the $h*!t$...

Farewell Luke Jackson
Yeah, they took him to werribee park zoo and gave him a balloon afterwards. Can't stop talking about it....

How many times have you watched the replay?
The numbers don't go that high.

Game plans, tactics and all that jazz
Maybe we are a little hazy in the GF aftermath, but our forward line was dodgy most of last season. If not dodgy, then at least unsettled or less than optimal..... or some other politically pedantic term or phrase. I reckon this season will see that piece of the puzzle in place, and I'm backing BBB for the Coleman and another two of us in the top ten to fifteen.

RIP Harley Balic
Poor bugger. Family tragedy. Keep your eyes out for the signs, everybody. Can happen to anybody, anytime...

Training Ground?
...not Peng Shuai, me thinks...

Glenn Boland
So you're not from the area? Get over to Port Fairy. Take the walk around Griffiths Island around sunset and keep an eye out for the wallabies. I'm guessing the Koroit boys won the Hamden League again...?

Am from the area myself... W'bool, that is. How's the weather?

Best Way to Watch
Yeah, the tyranny of distance, to quote an old one. Tiny population. Havign said that, see my note above re prices in the middle east. And I'm in a tiny country with a tiny population.....

Best Way to Watch
Errr.... somewhere in the Middle East. I don't like to say for personal reasons. Paranoia, that is.
