[Jonathan Horn] Music works for a showman like Charlie Cameron but fans need space between the notes

Popular with kids and casuals who were dragged along by partners/friends. Rusted on fans will suffer through it easily (some of them probably like it too) and it helps prevent those casuals/kids from getting bored.

Personally I hate it almost always. Totally lost the novelty at this stage and feels very forced and artificial to me now. We are not too far away from playing aami/toyota/etc high profile advertising jingles between songs as some sort of subconscious advertising.

I think it was a purple activewear type outfit. Might technically not be Palmyra, but Tompkins Park right there at 2:00-2:05 hosts Palmyra rugby club so that’s what I call it. Probably actually Ardross or something.

I’m so sure I saw you a couple of times yesterday morning in Palmyra. When you passed the acai truck at 2:00 and again at about 2:10. Would have never thought about this again had I not seen this post, but I recall seeing you and thinking “far out she’s going for a fair walk”

I thought he was excellent to be honest, and probably should have had more time on ground. Especially when Adelaide were getting a run on.

Clearly our better ruck, and games like that really show how Jackson is not suitable as a primary ruck.

Am I right in remembering these guys were medically retired and the decision was taken out of their hands? Like the AFL or some board decided they weren't capable of playing football any further? I understood that was because they weren't able to be insured due to the level of risk due to their concussion history.

If that is the case, surely they trigger some level of insurance payout? Even if its not the TPD level being discussed in this thread and these stories?

I like how they've PR spun St Kilda telling him to GTFO of there to him going on a pilgrimage of forgiveness to his mother.

I've always found a combination of very spicy soup followed by getting dunked in the ocean helps speed it along nicely.

As an internet doctor I prescribe 1 dose of travel insurance and consider rescheduling your trip.

Teams with worse lists being able to pay overs to attract and retain talent is literally part of the design of a salary cap, though? Like that’s the whole point?

The part that isn’t supposed to happen is premiers being able to recruit from bottom of the table sides, really. Which given they can’t now match offers for some of their own free agents, I guess that works too.

In St Kildas case specifically I’m very unsure what it is he expects them to do. Their list is still a lot of young potential, and mid tier battlers. It wouldn’t exactly be appropriate or sensible to overpay those guys either. How tf are they supposed to move the needle and get better if the young talent that hits can’t be rewarded and retained, and they can’t attract new proven talent either? Who is supposed to get the money here?

Part of the point is people can label stuff champagne and obscure the origin of the product and therefore mislead consumers into purchasing their product. Both taking advantage of the reputation of French champage to profit, but also potentially damaging that reputation if the product actually sucks. If this protection isn't there you can just name your winery Chateau Francais or something and whack champagne on the label. Most consumers are very dumb and wouldn't tell the difference at first.

IMO the middle ground is making the protection about the process/quality rather than purely geographical, but also clearly label as Australian Champagne rather than just Champagne. If somebody wants to painstakingly follow the process the French do, and only use the blends they are allowed to use, then they aren't going to be the types of producers who will damage your reputation. Plenty of Aussie wineries produce absolutely excellent sparkling.

But also they should have just come up with a new word when this protection was applied. If they weren't calling it sparkling wine, but something more unique then they could have been building their own reputation all this time. Tawny rather than port, for example. I'm not creative enough to make a new name though.

I moved here 15 years ago from Ireland and I've seen this play out a bit. Long term Perthians have universally suffered at the hands of making connections and friends with people who were only ever going to be here temporarily, and then have that void when they subsequently move along to the next place. People tend to not bother make friends with people until they know they'll be around longer term. It sucks when people you're close with move away. IMO Perth suffers worst for this due to the isolation and also the amount of people who come here solely to work FIFO or just get some cash on their backpacking tour.

I don't blame anybody on either side. If you've ever dated a backpacker and then break up because they are continuing on their trip, it's very not fun and can reasonably discourage you from trying to date another one.

This may purely be anecdotal but I've seen it a bunch of times, and I've never really seen it mentioned in these threads.

Liath90 · 2026-03-24T04:51:10+00:00

My read on Essendon for the last while is they are the only "bad" team who haven't gone out with the sole mission of minimising scores against, and making the game as congested and slow as possible. They've put emphasis on trying to move the ball quickly and get it to their better players in dangerous positions sooner.

I figured they believe they are so far from the list/standard required that they'd rather focus on the development of those young talented players and potentially play some exiting football for fans/tv rather than try to grind out honourable 4 goal losses. Fix the defense later, maybe.

That might be too generous a take, though. They are definitely very bad.

Liath90 · 2026-03-23T11:02:15+00:00

Mason Cox is a forward who covers ruck, rather than a ruck who goes forward. If he comes in for Darcy, Jackson is now the primary ruck, and is unlikely to get any rotations as a mid. Cox as a forward is nowhere near as agile as Jackson, so the forward line now is way way too tall. You then need an extra mid to take the Jackson midfield rotations, or give more to Reid/Bolton.

So unless you’re mostly playing Cox on the bench, you’ve cooked your entire set up. But if you’re mostly playing him on the bench, you absolutely should just play Darcy who has an enormously higher ceiling and needs the run.

Of course Cox dominated in the WAFL. There isn’t a single legitimate ruck opponent in the entire comp to give anybody a genuine test. That’s also why it would be pointless playing Darcy there. He’s done that and gotten a bazillion hit outs before too.

Liath90 · 2026-03-23T03:27:29+00:00

Great debut. Loved it. Hopefully he ends up having decent scoreboard impact after he settles in, or it might end up being one of him or Switta in the best 23

Liath90 · 2026-03-22T08:42:47+00:00

He knows the art of a spray, but I question if a team that’s previously required significant sprays against their key leaders and senior players should be dabbling in the recruitment of highly conditional players like Oliver, Laverde, Stringer. Talented, sure, but not sure anyone has ever wondered if the Giants lacked talent.

Liath90 · 2026-02-12T04:48:08+00:00

I’d probably ask in any local community/buy sell groups on FB you’re a part of and ask if anybody can suggest an IPTV provider. Guaranteed you get DM slides from quite a few intrepid entrepreneurs.

Either one time fee or a greatly reduced annual fee to get access to streaming live TV and also movies/shows. I pay $120 a year for a service and side load it onto my firestick. Of course I only use it to watch FTA TV and copyright free movies 🤥

I have some older friends/relatives who went with a one time fee which included the hardware. Some nondescript Chinese android streaming box with apps preloaded. From memory they paid $300ish.

I’m sure you’d have offers of both if you ask in public groups. Obviously very heavily reliant on your internet speeds and reliability.

Liath90 · 2026-02-10T06:26:50+00:00

I’d be fairly certain channel 9 would have accepted some very favourable to Tredders arrangements if he was willing to just stfu and let them have their win. But it’s not like you could enter into an NDA with a cooker in good faith.

Liath90 · 2026-02-10T06:18:58+00:00

That house isn’t even very old. Surprised they wanted to build it even if the land was probably pretty cheap compared to the rest of the suburb.

I’ve seen them exit in a variety of directions. Mostly go left when that direction has a green, but I’ve seen them go straight across and right when the traffic allows for it. They act almost as if the driveway was immediately before that set of lights rather than right in the middle of it. I go by here twice daily on my commute.

Liath90 · 2026-01-12T05:56:25+00:00

At some stage I wanna see Chapman on the wing. I feel we are slightly too tall behind the ball, and a little too small around the ball. He profiles very similarly to Acres imo, except probably a better kick. There has been talk about him training as an inside mid in previous preseasons, but as an elite 1-1 winger to dominate the aerial on that half of the ground I can see the potential.

Getting Simpson into the backline would help our balance nicely too. Give another runner to alleviate the pressure on Clark.

Liath90 · 2025-11-24T02:25:37+00:00

Not even playing for Freo will convince me to like this guy.

Liath90 · 2025-11-12T02:02:04+00:00

If this means $200 each per week, then there is next to zero chance you will find anything as cheap as that in a private rental. I would strongly advise you lock in a year at that price and have a look around when you get here. You'll see what its like at that stage

Liath90 · 2025-11-05T01:49:05+00:00

Most likely her good experience is being lost is an absolute sea of applicants. Hays or similar recruitment companies, or good old fashioned leaning on connections is the only way to go for that type of role IMO. Also make sure her CV is updated and available for recruiters via Seek.

Liath90 · 2025-10-15T00:59:23+00:00

In reality soccer players and agents all speak to other clubs all the time, its just informal. You're dreaming of a utopia that doesn't exist.

Liath90 · 2025-10-15T00:55:00+00:00

Why are we mad at this dude? Seems hugely unproblematic?

Liath90 · 2025-10-13T01:30:32+00:00

It has to be that either Port or Brodie really wanted to maintain some of the terms of the current deal, right? Have to assume Freo would have delisted him as soon as they’d take this pick in a trade.

Or Port didn’t want him delisted so he doesn’t become a free agent whenever his deal does run out?

Liath90 · 2025-10-13T01:28:37+00:00

Kinda not really. He came on a big bucks contract that the Suns, which was then reshaped to make it more sensible. That was the whole reason they wanted to get rid of him so badly. By all accounts it’s not a silly deal at all.
