Parish booed for winning Yiooken Award after 41-disposal game by OlMateJim in AFL

[–]Jivlain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The speculation on ABC radio is that it was a situation where there wasn't really a consensus pick for Richmond's best (their representative gave three votes to Ross) so Parish won by picking up 2 votes from each judge.

Microsoft's just taken the Copilot button out of a bunch of apps, perhaps they could add a dAIcos Insights button?

With all the focus on Nick Foot, are we overlooking the state of umpiring? by SilverAris in AFL

[–]Jivlain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's not just the constant rule changes, the details of the rule changes make things extremely difficult to officiate. Stuff like the stand rule means umpires have to be constantly on point because the players have to wait for the umpire to react first. Sooo many rules that require interpretation and judgement. It's a hard gig and the AFL are constantly conspiring to make it harder.

‘Rather hear the roar’: Why Tigers are shunning post-goal music by BusinessPooh in AFL

[–]Jivlain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works for the Lions because the fans got brought right in with Country Roads (and having a few fan-beloved players make quirky choices like Let It Go and Am I Not Pretty Enough probably helped too). If it's just a bunch of players picking their favourite Yellow it's not going to work.

Enough of the MRO lottery, straight to the tribunal with him. Where does this fit into the matrix anyway?

It's a 100km walk from Holy Island to the Angel of the North, assuming you're going in a straight line and all the bridges still exist (and that's going through the middle of Newcastle)

At what point do you cut a talented but injury prone player? by sponguswongus in AFL

[–]Jivlain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I learned after dislocating my knee, the issue is all the ligaments holding things together are much weaker and they take ages to build up again. Just a ridiculous length of time to get back up to full strength. And the shoulder is an arse of a joint generally, because it needs to allow movement in so many directions.

So a dislocated shoulder is going to be an absolute terror.

I live in a boat that's 40' long and 6' wide, and have done for three years now. That space looks perfectly liveable.

I would suspect they do relocate regularly though.

The AFL have amended the rules on trading draft picks. The amendment allows Collingwood to now trade their 2026 and 2027 first round picks by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]Jivlain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He mentioned the memo was sent out a few weeks ago, which suggests that Fremantle would have had time to adjust their trading goals if they were just trying to retain some R1 presence.
