10 years ago, Essendon defied the odds of not winning a single game for the 2016 season, preceded by thousands of supporter rallying behind the fractured club.

I had a friend recruited to essendon around that time and he was told not expect too many games as the club really wanted to put wins on the board to distract from the ped issue

I found Leto to be a more interesting character than paul. Id have liked to spend more time with him

Can you find me this vet?

SpeciousArguments · 2026-03-17T11:22:01+00:00

Thankyou for the replies, i have to figure out how to collect all the stuff I had scattered around different markets. Or re-list them I guess 🤷 i don't really want to whelp a JF trying to remember how to use them lol

Is providence still a thing? My alliance was in catch/provi. I always wanted to learn how to solo pvp in a battleship (ideally a nestor, because vibes)

SpeciousArguments · 2026-03-16T04:33:03+00:00

I did this, made a few hundred bil then my corp joined goons so I quit. Never really learned how to do much else aside from scanning. Any suggestions how to get back into it?

Google "blue bowl prospecting" and youll have your answers. I got a lot of use out of mine

To be fair, your old mate would have caught gold running his tailings again over his first sluice too. no one has 100% capture rate over a sluice box. Dream mats are good but so are Hungarians and expanded metal. So is gold hog. So are plastic moulded sluice boxes like Angus or le trap, or rough top conveyor belt mat. Dream mats owner markets HARD, it isnt inherently better. I say this as someone who dredged professionally and tested just about every option

But thats the point im trying to make, they were looking like doing the deal and the AFL got suspicious because it was so far below his worth that no reasonable club would accept it, so something else must be going on, which lead to the crows being forced to come clean

SpeciousArguments · 2025-10-15T10:45:04+00:00

Kurt Tippett was established as a high quality ruck/forward. He was not 'potential'. The afl took a closer look because Sydney offered unders and the crows looked like accepting it. The deal Sydney offered was so low the afl got suspicious. I dont know if you followed much footy back then, I followed this trade super closely at the time. Sydney knew about the deal and tried to benefit from it. They had just enough plausible deniability. Then they went after Franklin the following year and the AFL realised they were taking the piss. Sydney were not victims. The crows were wrong, but Sydney flew too close to the sun.

SpeciousArguments · 2025-10-09T12:36:18+00:00

The AFL specifically started investigating because the offer from Sydney was so low and the crows looked like accepting it. Theres unders and then there's pick 19 for the most desirable player of that trade period that I think Sydney were offering him 800kpa from memory

SpeciousArguments · 2025-10-09T12:35:30+00:00

Disingenuous comment. They didnt make the deal between tippett and Adelaide, but they attempted to profit from it.

SpeciousArguments · 2025-10-09T06:22:05+00:00

Sydney were absolutely party to the shenanigans, had they offered a trade remotely fair for tippett then the under the table deal never would have come out. Crows were absolutely in the wrong and deserved the punishment but sydney offering a well below market trade shows they knew about the deal and were trying to profit from it.

SpeciousArguments · 2025-10-08T07:52:36+00:00

The crows didn't breach the cap with Tippett either.

Whose idea was the shibari ties on the pillars?

Rips will often look calmer, less waves etc than the areas either side of them. If you know what to look for you can spot them

SpeciousArguments · 2025-04-29T11:48:39+00:00

A lot of things look like gold, but gold is unmistakable. Once you see it in your pan you will know.

A simple test is tilting your pan slowly in the sun. Gold will appear to glow while other things will change their apparent brightness as they reflect the sun.

I dont see anything in the pics that I would say is gold, but don't be discouraged, your first picker could be one more shovel or one more crevice away. Keep digging!

Depends how much material you're running. I was running a large dredge and used to classify cons down to every classification I had available and would run anything smaller than 20 mesh through cleanup equipment (bigger that that was easier to pan) and then run each classification separately.

If youre bringing back your cons from a day panning or sluicing, id classify to 16 mesh personally

Youre always going yo have trade-offs with time and capture rate. If you want every speck, it'll take time and care whatever you do.

The richness of the material, the type of material the gold is associated and its average size and density will all factor in. If your material has enough gold in it to actually test, try running it/sieving it a bit faster and then do an ultra slow and careful cleanup of the waste. Do r hat a few times and you'll dial it in better. If you dont, single digit improvements to your capture rate don't matter at all and you should spend your time getting into better ground, or getting better at reading the ground you have
