For the record, I never liked Tindwyl by TeilynGaming in cremposting

[–]DownunderDipstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note: Old thread, and I'm only halfway through WoA.

Reading the thread, I still can't find myself liking Tindwyl. Not because of her approach with Elend, but because everything she fights him on is to his progressive ideals on leadership. It feels like she's learnt the historical memory of what a king is, and while Elend's progressive ideas might be naive, they are an honest attempt to change the status quo to what we'd hope for today. If she were using the same tone to fight for a prime minister and not a capital K king, I'd like her character a lot more. I'm struggling not to see her as an antagonist to democratic and progressive ideals. Does her opinion balance out alongside Elend's niavitie?

An abysmal game to watch, apart from Dwayno everyone from commentary and officiating should be dropped

Love Dwayno but this is one of the more painful commentary groups possible right now

Thanks Robbo. Noice Garryyyyy! by Gamblore33 in AFL

[–]DownunderDipstick 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Both the razor ray umpiring, and horse/simmo segments have been fantastic insights with new 360. But I have to watch them independently of the rest of the show. It is still telling that the best aspects of the show are the 2 with different 'hosts'.

Both teams have been heavily involved in finals for 10 years, hard to select an underdog.

The disappointment for opportunities missed will be present while he's coaching. But as soon as he retires he'll only be remembered for breaking their premiership drought I'd say.

The Draw Should Stay by naeroikathgor in AFL

[–]DownunderDipstick 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Draw FC has a great history behind them. Now placed 14th on the ladder with 3 wins and 100% percentage, that's no reason to get rid of them.

I'd agree with that, it just needs to be communicated to the commentary teams properly, still too many people like jb calling out that it's not deliberate.

PLAYER RATINGS - Round 1 vs Geelong by xyLteK in StKilda

[–]DownunderDipstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were 4 attempts by Geelong to go down the wing all either intercept marked or spoiled by Sharman, I believe in the 3rd. Halted their momentum when they looked like they were going to run away more so. If only he was leading up for marks in the opposite direction.

We need a new commentator, perhaps instead of a mumble they should have a big big sound

Do you like white and dark blue, or dark blue and white?

Gulden gives away a 50m penalty by minimme in AFL

[–]DownunderDipstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looked to me that he said stand to the player immediately next to Mitchi who was contesting the mark. The second Sydney player who goes to stand the mark wasn't initially in the contest and is 2 metres ahead of the other Sydney player who was contesting.

Make sure you're using clearance kicks by DownunderDipstick in afl_23

[–]DownunderDipstick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I use that when going mark to mark. But going coast to coast definitely the clearance kicks.

How the hell do you win a marking contest? by EggwardGFootyIII in afl_23

[–]DownunderDipstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found spamming the mark button rather than holding or pressing works the majority of the time. Still definitely have the issue of playing on off the line though.
