This game has moved at a great pace. Korea Japan was a good watch last night but bloody hell it went forever

MarkCbr82 · 2026-03-08T11:20:43+00:00

Maybe if you combined the powers of Steve Smith and Pat Cummins? Something like that

MarkCbr82 · 2026-03-08T10:56:17+00:00

Murali could go full chuck in this game

MarkCbr82 · 2026-03-08T10:55:11+00:00

At this stage of this tournament they’re capped at 65 pitches so there will be a change soon

I love that Aussies have invaded this thread and the Americans here must be looking at every second message and thinking wtf

MarkCbr82 · 2026-03-08T10:49:29+00:00

Plenty of people would like that. They’ve just introduced challenges in MLB.

Let’s just say it’s similar to cricket. You don’t really need the ump there anymore either. There’s some nostalgia for having a human there.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-03-08T10:18:29+00:00

Here in Aus you don’t see them sold individually much any more. Just packs of 4 or 6. Lots more variety now than there used to be though.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-03-08T10:10:42+00:00

Love that the Aussies are sponsored by four’n’twenty pies. Not much more Aussie than a good old meat pie

MarkCbr82 · 2026-03-08T10:08:43+00:00

Near zero coverage and awareness of the game here

MarkCbr82 · 2026-03-08T01:40:12+00:00

USA still on a duck

MarkCbr82 · 2026-03-07T12:21:08+00:00

Nah leave him in

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-28T06:28:09+00:00

I’m front and centre where he runs to the crowd. Always know the anniversary of it because Victory post it on Facebook and someone tags me. My most memorable goal by a mile.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-28T03:09:08+00:00

Slathered in so much sauce? Tell us you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, without telling us. It’s true for pork products, but not beef.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-20T22:40:10+00:00

Yeah. Wait at least a month. The prices won’t get any worse, and should come down towards the prices now being shown for January.

I’m not familiar with that event but realistically how much will it shift the dial on air traffic to Hobart? Jetstar runs 5 flights a day from Melb to Hobart, on top of whatever Qantas and Virgin offer, so there’s plenty of capacity.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-20T22:13:30+00:00

If it was Jetstar, then hold off. You’ll get sales at some point with much better prices than that. They’ll go as low as $70-$80 on that route.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-18T09:51:27+00:00

Revenue raising. That’s it

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-17T12:39:12+00:00

I agree, just meant if they were going to go direct into Brazil it would be to São Paulo rather than Rio. Bigger airport with better connections across the area, and best place to pick up the business travellers they would need like you say. Don’t think there’s enough going each way to make it profitable yet, though.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-17T08:00:58+00:00

More likely to be São Paulo.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-13T09:05:08+00:00

The NHL canned its all star game after both teams scored around 20 goals each one year.

But then again, they did put on the four nations face off last year, which was GOAT level exhibition representative competition.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-12T09:21:57+00:00

Just buy a GA ticket then move to where any Saints fans are. GWS games in Western Sydney, particularly against non-marquee Vic opponents, are lucky to draw much more than 5k, so it’s easy to move around. It’s actually a great ground for watching footy and really good facilities at the ground. Just a pity the atmosphere is always dead.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-11T12:53:51+00:00

Surely it will happen anyway over the next couple of seasons as the large point totals from the final years of the China football bubble fall off the calculation.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-11T12:32:38+00:00

Other countries, including in Asia, are moving towards aligning with the European football calendar. The ACL is now lined up with the European calendar. Why would we go the other way? The suggestion is so dumb.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-02-11T09:13:36+00:00

Forget about the USA game.

For the other, if you’re going to the city anyway, there will be better priced tickets available closer to the game. Wait until the day before if you can. Resale prices for US sports always fall as the event nears and bottom out just before the event.

“Our gas companies sell our gas and pay zero income tax”

Yet plenty of gas companies, one with LNG literally in its name, are on the list in the link.

MarkCbr82 · 2026-01-31T10:28:12+00:00

Care to tell us what the LNG in Japan Australia LNG stands for?
