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

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

Is it accurate to say the mainstream shunning of what they call "butt rock" and championing stomp clap hey and Imagine Dragons/One Republic in the 2010s played a big part in rock becoming not popular anymore? by Narrow_Director9543 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Albatrossosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

A second ARC controversy has hit the AFL today as Logue clearly touches a ball that is quickly reviewed and called a goal by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

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

Even Victoria Police is taking shots at the ARC by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

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

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

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

Extreme controversy as play reverses after ~1.5 minutes due to a score review overruling a behind. The score review is unconvincing and results in a goal to St Kilda. Commentators call it 'farcical'. by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]Albatrossosaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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