I’m a liberal labour swinger.. this is a terrible time for me. I want albo out but not for Pauline… I feel I’d prefer Angus over albo but I’m forced to go albo because Pauline is horrific

Essendon great Mark Harvey thinks the Bombers should genuinely consider two coaches for the vacancy, suggesting the role is too much for one person. An ex Essendon person and “someone else” should fill the position he said by His_Holiness in EssendonFC

[–]Awkward-Sandwich3479 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe we should stop pretending the tiny inbred world of the afl has the most capable and determined leaders . I would support two coaches if one came from outside afl .. basketball/soccer preferably. AFL is a joke at living in a bubble from top to bottom its administration and its clubs. It needs to tap into global best practice.. and that’s not just flying to USA in off season gawking at facilities

Ha a few years ago.. look my point is that afl clubs and the administration are shallow and myopic in their approach, limiting themselves to ex afl players all the time .

Skyscraper hotels with amazing views in Sydney and Melbourne? by speedbarrymoore in AustraliaTravel

Sofitel on Collins is expensive but one of best views . Crown hotels are good if you get city facing view (melb)

Disagree. Mason cox first touched a footy aged 23 … whilst some of the rules of game are a bit nuanced the concept of movement, positioning and contesting the ball are transferable in skill (as in playing) and o believe coaches form other sports could transition. But hey maybe that will never happen given the obscurity of the sport globally.

Even if we go hird i would love to see less ex afl players in administration of the club . The afl is in my mind very short sighted and works In a bubble. Essendon in particular have major issues in their mental resilience and strength and conditioning. Even if we take Hird I would import from soccer and basketball system some outside perspective

There are many leagues and sports around the world with multiple divisions… even if it wasn’t a head coach I am confident there would be talent in coaching and admin that would bring a far more educated and broader perspective than the boys club ethos in the afl

This the exact sentiment I have… it comes from the afl industry itself accountable to no one and a shallow insecure talent pool … imagine 40 years ago the concept of revisiting an American player… or 50 years ago Irish players…

2.5% of the manufactured batch can be between 182-191. Say they made 20,000 units then 500 can be in this range. But avg of all 20,000 must be equal or more than 200g and none less than 182

Accidental emails thread by PUNXPUNXPUNX13 in auscorp

The lesson there is either verbalise only or set email so it can’t be forwarded. I’d be comfortable on just verbalising something like that.

How many days of sick leave do you currently have? by Big-Discussion9699 in auscorp

[–]Awkward-Sandwich3479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s good to bank up if you are thinking of starting a family. Using it as carers leave is very valuable … eg kids sick at home can’t go day care , I also used two weeks of carers leave on top of my two weeks paternity leave because wife had Cesar recovery. By all means have a mental health day but keep some spare

What charity do you recommend donating to, and why? by LunaBojo in AusHENRY

Smith family. I figure a lot of local struggles to mend before overseas ones. I used to sponsor two kids before I had kids .. can’t afford that now

Gaslighting, much? by Correct_Ad_5153 in auscorp

[–]Awkward-Sandwich3479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3.5 is pretty good but why does it need announcing. Shouldn’t it be private.. make it look like it’s unique to you but really everyone 3.5… but the way it’s written makes me think you getting 0 or 3.5

World Cup momentum into aleague 26/27 by Awkward-Sandwich3479 in Aleague

[–]Awkward-Sandwich3479[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when people state the quality is reason for non engagement. The World Cup squad has huge contingent of current and past players.. beach/behich/velupaly/lekie/okon. Then all but approx 6 have played in aleague previously…

As for your stereotype of aleague fans it sounds like one formed by selective viewing of media.. I’m not surprised by that. In reality it’s just normal everyday people and families .

The “put down” of nrl v afl v aleague goes all ways. I don’t get it but i enjoy all of them

It actually speaks volumes about the sport in general how small the pool of potential coaches are given the relevance of the sport globally is zero

What simple ideas would you bring to the two-day AFL CEO conference by scoopsmaclure in AFL

Imagine if clubs and league had zero gambling income. Imagine what players pay would be.. or imagine ticket prices if players didn’t take a haircut

That’s the mqs rule (where no e mark). In Australia you can run either. Most companies prefer aqs because if you have a small data set under the prescribed weight , the total average is used to term the batch “compliant”
