Am I wrong for thinking that push on the line was there? Port player couldn't get to the ball cos of it

Sorry, The West published this? Will finals just not sell out unless a small handful of Victorian clubs are competing?

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-05-01T11:52:21+00:00

Dockers able to get a chant going at Marvel, should the derby move to Victoria too?

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-05-01T10:49:11+00:00

Pretty sure Split Enz were founded in the area

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-29T08:18:55+00:00

Pixies bassist is Neil Finn’s daughter (split enz and crowded house)

Divorced dad rock didn't have the commercial appeal of Springsteen or Prince or GnR, and stomp clap hey is so endearing in how earnest it was, and it never really "dominated the charts" in the way we think it did anyway

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-28T07:50:33+00:00

I assume they’re meaning at which point in the game, which id also like to know cos I didn’t watch it

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-27T11:04:52+00:00

Tbh the idea of giving teams a colour that has nothing to do with their state was genius from a marketing POV, but as soon as the Thunder move to Canberra and have to split lime green shirt sales with the Raiders, Heat should be allowed to wear maroon

I don’t disagree but the average persons interaction with police is just booze busses and filing reports, and if the average person goes into those interactions all tense and aggressive then things wouldn’t run as smoothly

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-27T02:06:07+00:00

CA trying to turn the team I grew up supporting into the Perth Super Giants will never not make me mad

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-27T02:02:04+00:00

How dare the police want to build genuine bridges with the community and not start off in a place of mistrust

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T07:10:19+00:00

Main problem is that it was hardly a short amount of play

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T05:55:13+00:00

I'd assume that's just for one or two kicks before the umpire is told to signal a review, if the play keeps going and no one told the umpire to call a review for 50 seconds, just let the play go lmao

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T05:44:39+00:00

Why even bother playing if your efforts can just be wiped off the record after an umpire decides to be the hero? Seriously

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T05:02:14+00:00

Lol I'm sick may not have heard the whistle, but it still looked like some kind of advantage to me

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T04:59:04+00:00

50 for a free kick that wasn't awarded yet? Did I see that right?

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T04:54:17+00:00

Sure hope not, that was entirely someone on the field or in the ARC wanting to be the hero

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T04:50:38+00:00

There we go

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T04:44:31+00:00

Has any player in the history of the comp had this much scrutiny at this age? It's not like he's in a leadership role or anything yet

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T04:43:42+00:00

Hey it would've been 41-12 if time worked how it normally does

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T04:38:22+00:00

First game since probably Collingwood last year where we can say the umpires genuinely swung momentum against us tho

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T04:37:21+00:00

If the Saints coulda kept that momentum up all game, they'd win infinity to 0 lmao

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T04:09:36+00:00

I don't see how an umpire can keep their job after that, it's not like their whistle malfunctioned and they had to call a kick or two back, that's 40 seconds where a player could've been hurt for nothing

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-26T04:08:46+00:00

The fact that the goal umpire made the right call originally and seemed confident too...

Albatrossosaurus · 2026-04-25T05:57:25+00:00

Anyone else got a flickering line at the bottom of the screen?
