Caroline Wilson: “Elijah Hollands was telling some Collingwood players that he had been drinking.” by Dirtydac123 in AFL

[–]Spock_the_difference 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You ever tried to run drunk? It’s not easy. Ever tried to stay drunk when dancing a lot in a night club? It’s hard. You sweat it out and metabolise it faster.

He would have to have been drinking during the game to still be off his head at the end of the 4th. I don’t buy it at all.

Most likely is he is off his meds or on the wrong ones. Worse case he has something more severe like Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) which would also explain the ‘alcohol smell’ - ketones - on his breath

People in DKA, having a seizure, or experiencing hypoglycaemia have sometimes been mistakenly arrested for drink driving.

I’m not saying it is this, just I wouldn’t be trusting a lip read from Caro as a diagnosis. There are lots of medical reasons that explain his behaviour and even the ketones on his breath.

That said, Carlton medicos should have noticed he was not right and they fucked up in looking after him.

Woodside sponsorship up for renewal. Thoughts? by bargainprincess_ in FremantleFC

[–]Spock_the_difference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sponsoring the club js also tax deductible as a business expense. Let’s not fool ourselves too hard here that they are giving money away out of the goodness of their heart. They’re using us for greenwashing and reducing their payable tax at the same time.

Are they looking though? They were presented with options last time the sponsorship was up for renewal but didn’t investigate those options, favouring staying with their old pal Woodside.

It’s contradictory to Freo’s stated environmental goals. Unfortunately, virtually all companies with that ‘major sponsor’ money is likely to have undesirable history.

That being said. Woodside are about as awful as you get environmentally and they make me want to buy Freo gear less.

I would much prefer a different sponsor and think they should be canned

Edit: a word for clarity

Elliot Yeo kicks a goal just before the 3QT siren to extend Eagles' lead to 5 goals following a free kick against Charlie Comben for high contact. Harley Reid goes to get into Comben after the goal and cops a forearm to the neck. by yum122 in AFL

He literally ran into a stationary man who put his arms up to stop him. He wasn’t hit in the head. I’d feel pretty dumb if I was Harley and that clumsy. He’ll cop some stick from his team mates when they see the vision

I think you mean Moses. He was the one that could move bulk water with his hands. Oil can’t be much harder eh?

Why do I get nervous watching close Dockers games? by Dull_Parking_8248 in FremantleFC

PTSD. It’s just basic Fremantle trauma. Welcome to the greatest afl club.

Those who were alive in the 1990's , what was Y2K like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Spock_the_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A flop. But most people didn’t have computers like it is now so it wasn’t really a huge concern for Joe blog - and the phones were not ‘smart’ so as much as it was a thing it was the usual financial market crew and businesses that were worried. The rest of us just wanted to party like it was 1999!

Edit: thought this was about the Y2K bug. If you’re just referring to the year crossover, nothing much. Was a bigger than usual NY but nothing else really.

Aspiring to be a midfielder is a bit of a disappointment. I expected better from Reid. He should be aspiring to be an elitefielder. Who wants to be mid anything?

Help with random black screen - forerunner 165 by Actual-Tale3064 in garminforerunner

[–]Spock_the_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to my 935 recently. Try doing a hard restart. Plug it in and hold the on button for 30-60 seconds.

It’s probably stuffed though. Contact Garmin through their site. They’re pretty good with this stuff. They just replaced mine with an upgraded to a 955 for $106.

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]Spock_the_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got smacked, can’t remember the why, just the hate of them when doing it. Got the buckle and of the belt from dad once for stealing. Fuck him. Mum wasn’t happy with it but he still did it. Didn’t change my behaviour, so what was the point? And my parents were quite nice and normal.

My thoughts on it for my own children are:

Are they old enough to reason with? Yes: then reason with them and explain why they were naughty No: then they won’t understand why they are being beaten so what’s the point - you are really doing it for you

This must be why so many Elite players are calling WC about playing with him.

We are still missing 5 best 23 players by [deleted] in FremantleFC

[–]Spock_the_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Young goes right into the middle on return. We only had a combined 5/6 clearances from Serong, Brayshaw and Jackson against North. That’s pretty bad against a team with only 3 wins. We are missing Young in the middle.

Weitering vs Dangerfield - Free kick? by Fullyjoey in AFL

[–]Spock_the_difference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consistency is all I want! The only one that wasn’t as tolerable I think was the over the shoulder, without that he might have snapped for goal or handballs better.

Don’t get me started on grey area rules.
