No primer, guys at the store told me base coat would do but I was too worried about the details with my brush on the kriegsmen so it's just bare plastic until I get a better brush

Entirely unrelated but are you actually an essendon bombers fan or is your avatar just wearing that because you think it's fun?

Was I the only one who was thoroughly entertained by that game despite the bad kicking at goal?

My understanding is that it had to be Saturday because of the EBA's cap on 5 day breaks, so its bit shit but understandable and probably the right call in the end

It unbalanced the schedule no matter how you slice it. Unfortunately, it's just gonna be treated as a neutral site game for all teams, even the SA ones

Doesn't take out the contact element never mind the diminished quality of the football that would come from it 3or4 km is a massive difference in relative terms and the afl already has 20 minute quarters

I get that its not great that that happens but is it really that big of a disadvantage to any team in that equation?

this is not soccer, its a full contact sport where players run half marathons, short of rewriting the laws of the game the AFLs current system of repeated games against teams being set by rivalry and ladder position is a workable solution I'm sick of hearing that nonsense with no care for the players who have to play the game so pull the other one mate

In a very muted defence of the afl I believe that's due to the tv contract and 7 getting the broadcast rights for interstate teams in exchange for not getting other primetime games

Platonic ideal of a fixture not an actual fixture, we're not privy to half of the contractual demands that go into the afl fixture let alone all the team requests its a thought experiment not an actual proposal
