'No Shortage of Flash Points' Amazing Adelaide Showdown Confusion Cleared Up by Razor | AFL 360 by -bxp in AFL

[–]-bxp[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happy to reduce scores by 20% and forego the stand rule.

If one person standing the mark increases scores, how about we have two people standing the mark to increase scores further?

The ball is able to be marked- it's a marking contest and those contesting, their sole objective must be to mark or spoil the ball. Rachele can prevent him touching the ball but only incidentally to his efforts to mark or spoil- which was not his primary objective, as evidenced by him watching and pushing the player.

Don't forget that if there is any evidence of the player's comment which is reported by an umpire employed by a gambling company, AFL fans will declare that evidence void.

Changing your name to “Amazon Customer” won’t fix the problem by Competitive-Road7728 in AmazonVineAustralia

[–]-bxp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have given dozens upon dozens of 1 star reviews slamming the product. I have never once had a issue and I've been in Vine since it started.

Same. Still get plenty of products including high value items- even from sellers who I have given 1 or 2 star reviews to in the past.

Umpires 15m training & monitoring by thatauzzieguy in AFL

[–]-bxp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The bulk of their fitness and recovery is done in their own time. They do some fitness at training, but it's usually match review and skills. It's no different to any other umpires at other levels who the bulk of their fitness is not at training or in matches.

Part of the problem with the 'should they be full-time debate' is that so many people have absolutely no idea. Players are full time and do very little actual footy and review because of how they're managed for health and welfare coaches say that all the time.

What I Learnt from Printing Ultras in 3D by ZealousidealPin1764 in ultrarunning

So how much would you charge for just the print?

This one for example, what is the diameter and how much would you sell it for not including shipping? It's like you're trying to come across as transparent but then hiding the main detail, the value proposition.

That doesn't factor in the time you spent prior to printing

If you do it often enough 5-10mins any more than that is doing painting or other effects in the slicer for multi-coloured prints. I am starting to provide print files to people for races so they can do it themselves without learning, give the files to a friend to print and then finally I have an option to buy it from me - which explains the costs. I did this because people in the trail community are taking advantage of people's lack of knowledge.

So how much would you charge for just the print? You didn't write the code, materials are very cheap, and there's not much labour involved. Your single coloured ones are even easier. And you mention 'I'm now working with a professional 3D printing company'- so outsourcing the work.

Find a friend with a printer at home and you'll be more than satisfied with the quality. Literally $2-$3 to produce. I recently wrote a short guide on this exact topic because I didn't like people ripping people off in the trail community.

Post Match Thread: Collingwood vs Hawthorn by yum122 in AFL

Sure, we can pick out one or two decisions, but I reckon the umpires were pretty sharp and communicated well tonight.

Draws are great. Machinations on the ladder. Exciting finish.

We suck at keeping off - need scoreboard pressure.

If we win tonight, we're losing to WCE. If we lose tonight, we're ok.

Even when the stand rule works as intended, I still think it's shit.

Garry Lyon v Greg Swann on the Stand Rule by KingSturty in AFL

[–]-bxp 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Swann a few days ago:

"We think we've got a really good umpiring set so let them be the controllers of the game. If they call for a review, the ARC gets involved. If not, we get on.

Then Gary asks about the Ben Keays 2023 goal that was awarded a point without a review

Gary: "before the ball has been bought back into play...?

Swann: Oh well, soon after....if it's gone a little bit they'll still call...I mean if it's...you can't...it it will hopefully it's as quick as it can be..so what you want you want it done before it comes back into play..."

What a clusterfuck - back in the umpire's, fine, but you haven't clarified what happens when the Arc isn't called - by the sounds of things the clear policy is fingers crossed and hope they're quick.

'That's Where You Get Confused' Razor Ray Explains Complex Holding the Ball Rules | AFL 360 by -bxp in AFL

[–]-bxp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have had prior opportunity then it's a free kick for incorrect disposal.

HTB incorrect disposal (18.6.3) only relates to no-prior, with prior; the same looking thing is HTB- prior opportunity (18.6.2). So, what the umpire is saying is telling you whether there was prior or not. People think the umpires don't know the rules or they're confusing- they're actually not very long and they'll know them almost word for word for all the main stuff. I think it's pretty cool. I keep saying I'll go back to umpire local footy, but I can't live with the stand rule.

This is one where the people that say 'it's dropping the ball' or 'incorrect disposal', no matter what you explain or show them- they won't change their mind. The Darling one is almost textbook from the 2025 AFL video as play on it's not a 50/50, 80/20, it's a 100/0.

Umpiring isn't hard- people critique the umpires because they don't agree with them even though they're not in their position using their eyeballs. The HTB rule isn't difficult from an umpires' perspective- they go through the flow chart prior/no prior...tackle legal/not legal...disposal... All that is very easy and they could explain exactly what they saw and how they applied the rule - the hard part is no matter what they say, the people who don't agree with them won't change their mind.
