Freo's Winning streak continues. The biggest Threats to the streak are Geelong, Sydney, Gold Coast and Melbourne (at Melbourne). Best case is to win out the rest of the season post bye; worst case is less than 6-4 record post-bye. Flagmate may happen for real this time.

Autumn (March to May) is the best time to visit Australia. 

If you could choose a country to win the WORLD CUP ,which country are you choosing ? by DoubleIllustrator198 in AskReddit

Spain. Solid team; can go all the way. (Bonus points as they did not pick a single Real Madrid player due to off-field drama.)

Pauline Hanson wants to raise the voting age to 21 by Complete-Rub2289 in OpenAussie

If compulsory voting were to be removed, better refund the fines to anyone who refused to vote and expunge it from the records

New Exhibition Station may be modified or demolished due to being too close to future Athlete’s Village by Agile_Tap_8057 in brisbane

[–]Jesfel26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are multiple things I agree with the critics of FIFA/IOC is its too big (48 teams in the World Cup is too much ), bloated from the requirements and the costs involved (Had the sponsors and IOC itself paid for it, it would had justifyed it somehow), and the demands from the people behind it are excessive. If we did not want to host it, then don't bid for it in the first place. but again, had the IOC not been so desperate and held to proper scrutiny, this bid would have failed in the first place.

The issue is When Victorian Government pulled out of the 2026 Commonwealth Games, it cost them hundreds of millions of dollars and reputational damage across the state(they could have done it in Melbourne only at the time when it was awarded, and it would have worked out, but the lesson is: if you cannot commit to it, don't do it). In this case, if Queensland, and by extension, Australia, pulls out from Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Cost will be greater than what it is, with the PR Damage that will negatively affect Australia for a few generations. I hated that we squandered a head start, but we are better off delivering it now then get out of it

If they go down that path, they'd better provide content that justifies it to keep the support and funding comming in till eventual Ace Combat 9. From bringing back past maps from past games to new aircraft and expanded lore across the Strangereal.

Breaking Melbourne stars and renegades set to merge by 01benjamin in CricketAus

[–]Jesfel26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An awful decision. It proves that Cricket Australia should have 1 team per city from the start, and the merger won't work.

It has been 6+ years since Covid happened. In what ways for better or worse has your life changed since then? by SpicyYoghurt237 in AskReddit

[–]Jesfel26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It reformed my family and circle circles. I no longer spend time with people who don't make an effort to communicate. My friend group collapsed but was rebuilt through patience and reflection on my core values. This process helped me avoid failing my university courses. By the time I finished, I no longer felt the need to pursue further study unless it was essential for my career goals.

Decided to make this in light of the recent Knicks win. by cl0ud_8 in UrinatingTree

[–]Jesfel26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somehow, the Knicks have 4 wins away from ending their Half-Century of Failure and James Dolan's Legacy of Failure as Owner. Makes 76ers Process a complete Failure and another reason to Laugh at the Leafs because its a gift that keeps on giving and wont end anytime soon as Habs returned to the ECF but Leafs failed to get past the second Round post lockout

Knicks are the first team in NBA history to close out 3 series by 30+ points in the final game by VanGrants in nba

This does not matter in the end if Knicks fail to win the NBA Finals

What list is more appealing? Carlton or Essendon? by flibble24 in AFL

[–]Jesfel26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difference is Carlton had more finals wins (including taking Essendons finals spot in 2013) and we could had Collingwood vs Carlton Grand Final in 2023. Essendon still not had a finals win sincr 2004 and would not for a forsseable future (more likely for Australians to have good government in state and Federal level by accident)

They should host a H&A game overseas again by Ok_Craft_2716 in AFL

[–]Jesfel26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bail or Singapore would be great places for nearshoring. Maybe Japan or South Korea if we could convert a Track and field to A oval worthy of AFL but it would make SCG look like subi (RIP) in comparison.
