  1. If you are out of breath, you cannot breathe.
  2. I haven't voted because I neither love it nor hate it. Could we please have an Ambivalent option?
  3. I think you will find that the leap in the pre-Christmas over the recent years is due to the advent of Direct Debit.
  4. It will get done at the last minute. Essendon are waiting to find out what we have to trade when all the other deals are done, they will push for our second round pick, if we still have it, or accept next year's second round pick.
  5. I don't trust the AFL, they make up rules on a whim. I would want it in writing from them that you can count a first round pick more than once in a year.
  6. I was under the impression that we cannot trade our 2017 first round pick this year because we traded our 2016 first round pick last year. If this is the case, it is pointless to keep talking about trading it.
  7. I'm on automatic, it comes off my credit card, as I assume are the vast majority of the 18000 renewals.
  8. Clause a is easy, you have to have played at least one VFL game. Clauses b, c and d relate to the Development League and can be ignored. Clauses e and f are only applicable if your AFL team is still playing; ours isn't. Clause g is the only one that counts; you must have played at least one VFL game, Senior or Development, and not played more than 12 AFL games. The most interesting point is g(j) which has been used several times in the past; the CEO of AFL Victoria can declare anybody eligible.
  9. We have Spencer signed for at least another year and Mitch King ready to go next year. Whilst I would consider taking a ruckman at any of our picks, I do not see it as a pressing matter.
  10. I live by the mantra "The more you know, the more you know you don't know." The Physics department at Melbourne Uni are overseeing the establishment of an underground laboratory at a gold mine in Stawell that will try to replicate the findings of an Italian study that found that we are surrounded by Dark Matter; it is effectively the return of the Ether.
  11. I recently attended a series of lectures to mark the 100 year anniversary of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. The new hot subject is Dark Matter. We should try to work that into a comment in this thread.
  12. The curvature in space is caused by the gravity well created by the blackhole. We cannot see a black hole, we can only infer its existence by the effect the well has on light as it passes beyond the event horizon. BTW I have a degree in Nuclear Physics, this sort of stuff has always fascinated me.
  13. A blackhole is not empty. It has so much matter that light cannot escape from it owing to the gravitational effect of the massive mass. They are called blackholes because we cannot see them.
  14. 6. Gawn 5. Tyson 4. Vince 3. Hunt 2. OMac 1. Jetta
  15. If Hogan doesn't come up, I would think that Pedersen would get the gig. If we are going to blood one of our newer frorwards, it would be Hulet; he has a more AFL ready body and has out-performed Weideman this season.
  16. No, no, no, a thousand times no!
  17. Fair enough, I had forgotten that. It would all depend on what they see as available at the end of the draft. They have to announce rookie upgrades before the draft.
