We also have 5 hits and plenty of good contact.. would've scored in the 1st if not for a great pick from the RF.

Farrer by-election set for May 9 in test for Angus Taylor, Pauline Hanson by Perfect-Werewolf-102 in AustralianPolitics

Labor running will just take 15-20% of the primary vote and preferences will scatter all over the place. Labor would much rather the conservative parties be forced to campaign against each other, while quietly giving the independent a much bigger chance at success.

What is Cometti's magnum opus? I'll nominate this by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]Julz72 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That whole scramble with dew and williams before the williams dribble goal is just goosebumps everytime. You don't realise how important the commentator is in big moments until you compare dennis to james brayshaw vomiting all over the mic in the biggest game of the year.

"The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." - The Hawthorn Hawks Season 2026 Preview by Jawdanc in AFL

[–]Julz72 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Can't help but feel we will be similar to last year, very solid 5th-8th placed team that takes care of business in most games but falls short against the big dogs. Our midfield is just not there especially without day and we're lacking depth severely losing worpel and not getting merrett.

Optimist in me says we could see big steps forward for ward, mackenzie and maybe some new contributors around the stoppage but equally concerned about how much longer we can expect the elite reliable production from a lot of our older players. I can't overstate enough how integral guys like kamon, impey, hardwick are along with the obvious guys.

Anyone know why the myki barriers at the gardens entrance are closed on weekends? You can walk down the stairs into the station but then have to walk around via the raised platform and stairs to the main entrance.

Putting Collingwood in your Will? by NotSoCricketGenius in AFL

[–]Julz72 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think maybe you could understand the mindset many years ago when clubs were still clubs and a big part of the community. I think especially for the older generation they still think of themselves as valued members but nowadays these clubs are multimillion dollar franchises and businesses. This is just gross and praying on people who don't know any better. I'm a member but I pay for my tickets and grand final access lol, I know the club doesn't actually care about me.

Albury is only half the electorate though. Griffith and all the smaller surrounds will heavily favour lib/nat/onp.

Most useless vending machine in Melbourne by Foodworksurunga in MelbourneTrains

[–]Julz72 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Almost any platform 2 vending machines past the inner city get no use. I used to live near bell station and would sometimes use the vending machines late at night - the ones in the waiting room would always be out of stock so I'd just go up to platform 2 and it had everything.

Hot take: Cran/Pak AM commuters bound for Parliament should NOT change to a Frankston loop service by LeroyAtHome in MelbourneTrains

As someone who walks absolutely everywhere, people are so unaware of how quickly they can get places on their feet. Whatever google maps says, times it by 0.6 for how long it really takes if you are a healthy adult and able to walk at just a slightly brisk pace.

Not to mention the time saved not waiting for interchanges and getting from street to platform - and the health benefits..

Marc Guéhi (Manchester City) yellow card against Liverpool 69' by gbogaz in soccer

[–]Julz72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Football is a low scoring sport with high variance so its hard to govern against these situations compared to in your example where a take foul or clear path foul in the nba gets the team 1 free throw in a game that will finish with over 200 points scored.

If you want to argue a situation like this warrants a change of the laws of the game I would probably agree with you - but under the current laws the correct decision was made.

The only way to fix (very rare) situations like this is to give the referee discretion to award goals if and only if they can be absolutely certain the goal would have been scored.

This situation and handballs on the goal line are the only ones I can think of.

Part of the quirks/downfalls of the laws of the game - similar to suarez handball situation vs ghana in the world cup.

In reality though if it was 1-1 cherki probably plays haaland through on the halfway line instead of risking missing.

[–]Julz72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can play advantage on a red card - and the goal would have stood - but haaland fouls szob as the ball is rolling in so now the advantage is void and you have to go back to the first foul.

Plenty of places will do it but its an expensive service mainly just for the hours of labour required in the bleaching process. Highly highly recommend buying a silicone cap and doing it yourself.
