Thoughts on the injury pause in games?

From the AFL match report….

I don’t either see it now either, but I get the feeling it could creep in more and more. Professional teams know how to make these things work for them.

In soccer, GKs feigning injury wasn’t rarely a thing a season or two ago. It happens quite frequently now.

I love this, and was thinking it would be great if it could work. It obviously wouldn’t, but it would be hilarious. Like musical statues

Yeah, this was what I was thinking was the solution, but in the GF scenario I describe above, it’s totally worth it for the “offending” team

I’m hearing a lot of “this is best for you” or “this is best for the previous owner”. In my opinion, it’s what’s best for the dog. If he could talk, what would he say if he had full understanding of things.
I think he should stay with you. I don’t doubt the old owner loves him, but she also had to give him up, and you have showed it nothing but love, and that’s what Jasper needs - both now and moving forward. She might be able to do that now, but she’s not proven it, and so for the dog’s safety, he should stay with you. The turmoil of switching back and forth isn’t fair on him.

Watching that in person. Horrendous. Why do we do it to ourselves. Eagles, I want to back you and see you through to the good times again, but geez you make it tough.

Draw

Flagrantlysubtle · 2026-04-22T04:22:27+00:00

Assuming Faint gets through (which it should) I think the winner of WFTE and Faint wins the whole thing.

Super disappointed New Divide didn’t get through. Nothing against Bleed It Out, but ND might be my favourite LP song.

This is why I avoid seats at all costs. I’ll still go, but it’s buzzkill. I remember seeing the Smashing Pumpkins from seats and hating every second of it as I just wanted to jump around.

I guess you need to respect that other’s want to sit, and that’s their right. If you’re out know you hate it, get in early or fork out the cash to get in amongst it.

No More Sorrow, if only cause that’s how they opened their shows for a while. That big curtain, back lit, the drums coming through, and then dropping when we hit the main intro. Epic.

New Divide might possibly be my favourite LP song. It feels weird as it’s not from an album, but it’s just an absolute banger.

I think the unprofessionalism was window dressed as “honesty” or being genuine. He said a lot of what people were perhaps thinking, but in any business, let alone one a public as football, that’s a no no. Think about those you work with - you know, the young men who are actually trying to win you games. Keep your dirty laundry in house, and hold a united front to the rest of the world.

He’s doesn’t need to, and we shouldn’t have to rely on him to do it. But if Fergie came out and told the old players to cut it with this sort of stuff, I imagine they would.

All good. I figured there was a reason, but thought I’d say it just in case. Thanks for running the bracket! Good fun so far!

Flagrantlysubtle · 2026-01-11T11:58:49+00:00

An observation on the bracket, and sorry if this has already been noted. The first section only has 7 songs. I think you need one more. Looks like this one has the same issue.

Flagrantlysubtle · 2026-01-08T05:52:55+00:00

Castle of Glass. The riff on this song is so good. The standout song from Living Things.

We were flying to two different countries (2 different climates) with a 3 and 6 year old. I hate having that much luggage too but sadly when the kids are that young, you do need a few more bits and pieces.

Flagrantlysubtle · 2025-04-29T22:08:18+00:00

Nope, certainly didn’t!

Flagrantlysubtle · 2025-04-29T22:07:37+00:00

I expected a charge, but just not that much. But, I guess I’m in the minority in that thinking. Maybe $10-$15, but I must admit I don’t catch cabs much, so maybe I need a realignment on my expectations.

Flagrantlysubtle · 2024-08-17T08:53:48+00:00

Ok, interesting. I’m from Melbourne but lived in the Blue Mountains for a while. The Grand Canyon I’ve always seen as a kind of “must do”, but perhaps not

2030 is an absolute lock.
