yes ht, it's no glass and it's no mug either. It's a chamber-pot and it's overflowing

not to mention the glass is chipped and cracked

time to dich that antique oija board, fency and get a nice shiny modern one that works.

will they open yarra park for parking? hope so

i remember when a radio was a wireless

found this in wiki seems too my issue with tuners fixed on 9/10 frequency boundaries only applies to modern electronic based tuners

just curious now. currently am stations in oz are tuned on multiples of 9 ?hz and in fact radios are generally fixed in only being able to lockin on 9 ?hz boundaries as i understand it some countries use multiples of 10 ?hz (eg usa, japan) whereas most 'british' countries use 9 I once bought a portable radio in japan and it was useless here. only a small number of radios have an option to select 9 or 10 So, what's the history wyl. was oz on the 10 system and switched to 9. did people have to buy new radios or did people just tune in on 1422 and the signal of 1420 was strong enough to not make a difference ?

it's not a black and white issue, ldvc. it's just a trend personally i hope footy smarts trumps athleticism in the longer term, but many recruiters place big emphasis on athletic type stats and then developing them to become role type players, rather than looking for talented footballers with creativity and great instincts, then developing their athleticism. lot of coaches don't like creativity and instinctual play, it's all about strict structures and game plan. of course though, you can't beat someone with footy smarts + great athleticism in the same package

a game for goldfishes and cocker spaniels?

cheers

thank you, guran.........keep up the good work with the PFL

interesting. hope you are right also interesting that our best 2 endurance players are a tall and a short(ish) anyway, i agree less rotations should bring back more emphasis on skills (and more one on one) with a bit more space. i'm not too sure the afl will be reducing rotations much in the short term though

it's certainly true that average height has increased over time, but I would think that average football height has increased moreso it's also true now that with professionalism the game has changed such that athleticism (vs raw footy talent) is being increasingly desired/sought/required.

i don't consider 178 (5'10") and 179 (5'10 1/2") as being short (other than in relative football terms)

no one is claiming that there are no short footballers playing afl. there are, but their numbers are declining as are the available positions they can play. the odds against them are just increasing the romantic notion of anyone of any size or shape has a reasonable opportunity to play football at the top level belongs in the past. it certainly used to be true and was one of the more endearing aspects of aussie rules.

they'll probably bring in shane "the human foghorn" mccinnes

i just love it that roland was a semiotician. such a wonderful word........very 'woody'

viney at 5'10" could have been a kpp in a 60's premiership side jetta at 5'11" would have been a tall in previous eras anyways these guys are a looong way off being 165cm are you saying viney and jetta are "short" guys (off the football ground)?

that might have been true about 50 years ago, andrew short players have very restricted opportunities and need a-grade skills to get a game these days

well as gawney said he was more disappointed that the young players who went to the aflpa didn't first go to the players leadership group, if they felt intimidated going to the coach (or coaching staff) so. players had the option of 1. talking to coach 2. talking to assistant coaches. 3. talking to leadership group 4. talking to aflpa. lot of disappointed people there.

d-l is ah-ha on 'ology

mcclure is a figjam

not for this little ducky, ethan. i'm waiting for AFLY

i believe they signed on originally quite late i.e. feb/mar, so i imagine contract runs in multiples of 12 months our next (?) major sponsor will also sign on late by the look of it Correction: AHG not shown in sponsor list on mfc website (only principal sponsor shown is iselect)

sounds like there wasn't a house left standing. knew i should have got into the construction business.....damn
