Goal of the year?

Throw of the year.

I haven't bothered to look at it again but my initial take on Gawn having to go off was a Geelong player deliberately backing into him and slamming the back of his head into Gawns nose.  Correct/incorrect?

The last time I created a thread like this it was last year and we went on to smash the Crows in Adelaide.

Will it work a second time? Let's cross everything and hope so..

Anyway, when we beat Geelong, I will... 

... think my tickets to Perth for round 22 might be worth more than the suprisingly small amount I paid.

26 possessions in the first half (13/13), 2 marks and a goal.

Thankfully Territory Day was last weekend else those scrub fires would've been the least of the players worries

Not much of a music video.. but a great track.

Gotta love the media outlets that couldn't be bothered using any of the multitude of cleanskin images of Pert a 5 second internet search provides but rather decided that Collingwood sponsers deserved more exposure.

Port cannot defend i-50.  They also can't execute the too-cute kicks they're attempting.

No .. they get smaller crowds and are probably less vocal and feral than WCE.

20%.  So far in 2018 WC average home games get 53697, Fremantle get 45585.

Hi Trisul - that was an interesting interview. Ferguson's an eloquent speaker (and writer), for sure. What are the main points you got from it that you think are relevant to our topic? 

Hey Jara.  

I could summarise the interview, but I don't think that's what you're after.  Islam(/Islamism) in the West is a very specific topic, though specifics are actively discouraged these days in favour of the excessive pursuit of tolerance.  (Cue Aristotle)

It requires specific and analytical discussion of sharia and its outcomes without instant dismissal as prejudice, an acknowledgement of the harm that has beset countries and their populace after the ascendancy of Islamic autocracy, and therefore an examination of the clear path to Islamic totalitarianism that is defined within the religion and emboldens extremists and fundamental adherents alike.  

That is what I took from the interview that relates to the topic.  

From the timestamp, 10 minutes relevent to the discussion:

Redtails dominating late in the first.

Absolutely.  Adelaide even with a bunch of guns out are a very good team.

A 1 win point will be just fine thanks.

I'll begrudingly support a 0.0.3 to 0.0.2 win so we keep our percentage going up.

Pleasure Island taken already?

Conversations with John Anderson: Featuring Peter Baldwin

Watched the replay last night.

snorted when Hibbo went to throw  the ball back to the boundary umpire in the third as he was running back to set up and threw it into Lamb’s face (and then the subsequent smirk - gold)

Boys will want to play wet footy and not muck around.

If drop kicks come back into football it will require a rule change, or, to use AFL-speak, a fresh interpretation of a rule. Currently if a player is tackled and kicks the ball after it hits the ground first, it's considered to be incorrect disposal and a free is paid to the tackler. I don't know why that's the case. It's a drop kick, not always expertly delivered and never deliberately intended. But it's still a drop kick.

True, but that happens often enough and is only sometimes called (there was one not paid in the bombers game).  I think the drop kick actually has a place for quickly going somewhat under the coming defender that was on the mark to an open man forward and wide.  

 How about the drop kick?  I reckon Hibberd could get a good 70m pass going from defensive fifty to thirty out that doesn't go above chest height.  

At an event a few weeks back, Stephen Pinker spoke about how humanity has progressed across many critical measures over recent centuries.  I've linked below to the 21 minute mark (the final three minutes) where he starts to ask why we don't recognise this.

(The analysis of human progress starts at 2:09 for those interested)

if not this week when is the 2nd replacement game?

Carlton.

A fascinating one hour interview with Scott Adams on Trump.  References his predictions, Trumps skills, persuasion, tweets, potential with North Korea, Russia and more.  From November '17.  

Trippled down on the forward pressure.  Think that dam will burst. 

Brayshaw a worry imo, hopefully he works into it.

  No?
