Nic Naitanui Retires
I live in Europe again now so almost exclusively drink champagne - for like $4.99 per bottle - and I reckon only six or seven out of ten people here have ever heard of Nic Naitanui. They also don't know what a hot-dog is, so my diet mostly consists of eating affordable horse O'derves,

2023 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
I've consistently reiterated how wrong I always am as to drafting, including in regards to Luke Jackson, whose MFC scouting vids only came out once we had drafted him at #3. Nothing from the above Curtin footage screams top ten to me, let alone being the next Pavlich (I played alongside the original one for a bit when I was younger and thought he might become the future 'Pavlich'). Are your big-ups based on something observable in the footage, or via an off-screen assessment?

Nic Naitanui Retires
Took a massive grab right in front of me once to win a pre-season game in Perth. My hotdog was even worse than possibly imaginable. But I got free transport tickets to the ground, and beers only cost $27 per cup.

The cheesy early-90s music thread
Binman's personal assistant floated 'Rhythm is a Dancer' earlier, alongside some La Bouche classics. However, I fear such openness may cost him his current job, and he may have to go back to making films and coaching kids' football, which sounds suspect when written together alongside the promotion of Cher's vocally-distorted abominations. (Please note, I love Adam and this is only a friendly jape). x

The cheesy early-90s music thread
Snap. Not the awesome German band behind 80s power-tracks 'I've got the Power' and 'Rhythm is a Dancer', but as to my personal life story. Loved Collette a little bit too much.

The cheesy early-90s music thread
WCW and I met after another Simon, not Paul but Red, put us in contact courtesy of a request from my scientific handlers. Apparently Walking had some involvement with the Skyhooks as well? Still not sure how that song relates to me, except that even singing 'Happy Birthday' is a 'Horror Movie' due to my condition, my salty tears spoiling every frosted cake in the vicinity and upsetting any gathered family members.

The cheesy early-90s music thread
As WCW mentioned - or maybe envisioned - you were in for a hiding for no reason trying to guess. It's a reference to a personal medical issue, in which I was born with the membranes of my tear ducts connected to my vocal chords and can't sing karaoke without involuntarily crying, with the curious exceptions of Skyhook's 'Horror Movie', 'I go to Rio' by Peter Allen, and the Paul Simon classic 'You can call me Al'. My name isn't Al though, or Betty, and neither me nor my baby has ever been to Rio, which adds to the intrigue for the medical professionals currently studying me.

Umpiring discrepancies
A lot of people suggesting the 'soft call' should be scrapped (or muted), with the decision sent upstairs and then returned to the goal umpire if there is no conclusive evidence. Others have pointed out the occasional (highly infuriating) miscommunications between the goal and field umpires and what ARC ends up reviewing. Why not then just get rid of the faceless 'middle man' adjudicator, and leave ultimate responsibility for the decision up to the experienced goal umpire who was on the spot and knows exactly what he or she was in doubt about? If unsure, the goal umpire can call for a review, and then directly direct the technologists on what to play back. This could be done via a movie director-style playback 'tent' set up somewhere behind the goals (sounds cumbersome and potentially dangerous, but I have faith we can figure it out). Goal umpire, in this particular instance, can then ask for the best footage on whether it touched the back of so and so's hand from various angles and freezes. On the balance of the available evidence, the call would probably have gone our way; the goal umpire is absolved from making one poor, split-second decision, and is only hounded if it's an absolute post-review howler. Add a clearly defined 'benefit-of-the-doubt' rule, be it a goal or point, which the umpire can signal if they remain uncertain.

I agree. Red and black should be reserved for Nazis, deadly spiders, and demented dommes.

Larry Page has said that he now feeds filet mignon to his his dogs in the hope that once AI takes over he will be treated in the same regard. He also thinks it's his profound duty to usher in the next major wave of human development on earth: i.e. handing over to artificial intelligence. This is one of the guys who holds a major key our collective future, almost without any oversight. If that doesn't give you goose-bumps, you're basically foie gras already. Stuff like this thread is just an easy distraction to what is really unfolding right now.
