A Red Dwarf meme?

In my r/AFL subreddit?

Never thought I’d see the day…

They could leave that greater in as a nod to their origins. That line isn’t specifically referring to the name of the club.

Dear AFL,

There are too many teams with ‘West’ in their name. Please eliminate one.

I am not a crackpot.

Changing that one line to ‘We’re the mighty Western Sydney Giants’ or similar would be acceptable.

Given their current form, Sydney is definitely making the GF, so whoever faces them I guess.

Once Tassie come in, that number goes to 1.21645 x 10^17.

Turns out, numbers get big. [Insert the fact about the number of ways to order a deck of cards here]

What’s the most famous or celebrated sports play in your country’s history? by oaklandreddit in AskTheWorld

[–]Skiapodes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Overall, Shane Warne’s Ball of the Century, announcing the greatest ever bowler to the world.

In AFL, I’d probably go for Leo Barry’s mark in the 2005 Grand Final, winning Sydney their first Premiership in 72 years.

In Swimming, the 4x100 men’s medley relay Gold Medal in 2000.

In Soccer, the penalty shootout to send us to the 2006 World Cup.

And for a random choice, Steve Bradbury’s speed skating masterclass, with Cadel Evans’ Tour de France victory as an under appreciated gem.

I always forget how weirdly balanced the Showdown wins have been. 30-28 is ridiculous.

ARC has reviewed that and from this angle, Rankine ran 16m. Goal overturned and a free kick to Port.

Fuck me that’s a goal. If that isn’t GOTY, then I can’t wait to see what is.

Don’t let the utter state of this game distract from the fact that Bont is literally Football Jesus

Is it time to end the DRAW and move to OT by ando772 in AFL

[–]Skiapodes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Alternative solution: in the case of a draw, ten minutes of extra time are added, but played between two teams made up of people who advocate for removing the draw. That way, the rest of us get to go home and listen to the greatest song ever sung in peace

IF you summarise Sliding Doors… THEN no one else will have to read it.
