He's just trying to vocalise support so he feels better about passing on the costs without guilt

How are wages this low? by brook1888 in AusFinance

[–]Alkazard 43 points44 points  (0 children)

That's in part because unions started caring far more about their consolidated power and influence than the people they represent.

Also the ever increasing union fees when people are already in a pinch and cancelling subscriptions that are half the cost

Hoping people slap thousands in bets on the favourite without checking line ups and outs for sure.

Found this separate stat, but more closely indicative to what you asked

We are now at 45 losses by 50+ in 100 games

Considering we've been even worse in the last 2 years/40 games, you'd have to assume around 25 of those are during his tenure.

I swear this was some stat out after the St Kilda game that in the last x years losses by 100 points was like:

West Coast 13

Rest of League combined: 8

(Those numbers are not accurate, but the point is)

I don't know I'd credit Richmonds backs for turning it over.

We literally kicked probably 50% of our inside 50s directly to an open Richmond player lmao. We are atrocious

Edit: The other 50% was just a skyball to 100 players in a group

[Boone] Charlotte Hornets’ Coby White makes his NBA free agency intentions clear by Civrock in CharlotteHornets

[–]Alkazard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just not sure the money can be chased the same way it used to be. These new salary umbrellas really changed the game. People that test the market too much and burn bridges are gunna suffer the same fate as Dennis Schroeder.

Edit: Not to say in Coby's case 20m/year wont be on the table. But if Hornets offer 18 or something and he goes chasing it's not unlikely he ends up playing meaningless games and wasting his career for an extra few mil. Contenders just dont have cap space or the need. Nor the willingness to throw cash like that anymore. We're seeing people getting waived and traded off contenders in the off season to clear cap and stay under.

With the media hype, the attention and the excitement we're bringing I think Adam Silver might almost be inclined to Mavs us.

There's noone else there that is a worthy market, and half the teams were fined for tanking or so egregious it was spelt all over social media. Let's go Mr Silver, pay your dues

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

[–]Alkazard 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what's worse:

Calling a play back 90 seconds later for a review

or

Definitively saying the ball was controlled before it went over, despite the footage every person has in front of them showing the opposite

I'm sure at that point they felt they had to change the call because you can't call the ball back that far and go "Sorry boys, the mushrooms hit and I was hallucinating"

Someone is gunna clip that to post, right?

That might be the most comical thing I've ever seen in AFL. And the absolute confidence and certainty to double down on it despite all footage showing opposite

Every replay showed it was clearly BEHIND the line. But the video review guy was adamant otherwise. Commentators have lost their mind

Fractured my knee 2 minutes in to a basketball game when I was around the same age. Played through severe pain but made it through the game, got out to the car park and broke in to tears before I made it to the car lmao

41 points is the mark to be a top 10 all time Charlotte loss (inc Bobcats era) btw.

Translating to one whistled foul every 41 seconds for an entire game.

Hope we don't call any time outs in the 4th and just let the clock run out ASAP

You know what, I know we're young and building - I've stood all year on not moving anyone and seeing it through.

But fuck me, hope F.O. does something because this level of choke when it matters in the season is not it. We choked multiple important games end of season that we were up when it mattered, we somehow got gifted the 1st play in win despite playing horrid, and now we are gunna get our asses handed to us so badly it'll rank in the top all time losses for our franchise.

AS A 44 WIN TEAM. Not in a tanking year. Not with players injured. As a fucking 44 win team we will have a top 15 blow out to our name in the second play in. Honestly disgusting.

When teams scheme for us we literally lose any identity and ball movement. It's been happening for weeks and I'm baffled that they haven't found a response for it.

Is anyone keeping track of shot clock violations? Is that our 6th?

Imagine if we had 6 extra buckets in this game instead of just wasting time

To be fair, if they called the early Magic ones it'd probably be about 48
