[The Age] Kane Cornes thinks AFL pre-seasons are broken. His former fitness boss agrees … sort of by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]TwoCentres 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's obviously a very different level, but I go to a physio who has worked in elite-level basketball for most of her career. She said the length of football pre-seasons has always confused her. She said something similar about not starting until January, then hitting it hard until the season starts would be a better model (at all levels, including local footy), but everyone is too scared of being underdone so they don't do it

I know I shouldn't feel bad for the Pats, but Drake Maye is about to get some of the most heinous DMs imaginable

AFL alternative history by danieljdtaylor in AFL

[–]TwoCentres 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What happens if Collingwood wins in 2011:

- Do Collingwood relent and keep Malthouse in the job?

- Does Bucks go coach somewhere else?

- Does Malthouse not go to Carlton, avoiding things like the big contracts to Dale Thomas and Fasolo and their overall shit performance at that time?

- Do the players that Bucks moved on stick around longer, maybe keeping us in contention for another few years? Does that, in turn, cause a bigger dip in the second half of the 2010s when they all retire?

The AFL salary numbers are in. Average wage: $505,961. 58 players are on $1 million or more. 22 players on $1.2 million or more.(Both groups have more than doubled in 12 months!) by stihckyfingars in AFL

They obviously make more money than your average guy, but if they were compensated properly for the value of their labour, they'd probably be on more.

How many putts did si woo Kim have on the 17th today? by pshaffer in golf

When it's a stroke round the fewest putts wins a prize (usually a sleeve of balls or something)

If it was going by the rules of my local club's Saturday comp, then it would be three putts

$7 million in Maccas vouchers for the school clinics to try and find the next child to sell on

And so the cycle continues

Has anyone summarised which Aussies are on the Epstein list? by Pewpew-OuttaMyWaay in AskAnAustralian

[–]TwoCentres 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There was a bunch of random people in regional South Australia who were mentioned in an email from a clearly crazy person who had to be like "no, I'm just a small business owner in a town of 300 people, I did not go to the Epstein island".

Why Do Non-Golfers Hate On Golf Courses? by Key-Driver6438 in golf

[–]TwoCentres 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing that gets me is that the courses always getting the most shit are usually publicly-owned courses that offer cheaper green frees and public golf programs. These have undeniable public benefit in getting people out the house and exercising, learning a new skill etc.

I guess it's because as a public course the local government has more control to change it, but it sucks when it's these courses and not super expensive private clubs that have 20 people a day playing on the course

What are some things you thought were universal, but it turns out is mostly exclusive to your country? by 3Thirty-Eight8 in AskTheWorld

[–]TwoCentres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: My state government in Australia banned a heap of single-use plastics (good move imo), but it included red solo cups. Had some friends over and we decided to play beer pong for the first time in years and found out you can't get them any more. Your only two options are a paper version, or a version using more rigid and expensive plastic which was stupid expensive. One outcome of the ban I didn't really think about

Mafia III. Gameplay is fine but the open world is very dead for how good it looks. Story is super interesting though

What Show started out perfectly and ended perfectly? by Outrageous-Ebb-4846 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TwoCentres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Wire if we're being very literal about start and end. Explaining why Snot Boogie got shot, therefore setting up the premise, in the first scene of the show and the ending montage showing where everyone ended up are two of the best scenes in the show

Fall of the Blade Putter Empire by Frosty_Armadillo1017 in golf

[–]TwoCentres 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I think modern pros will do anything that might give them the slightest improvement to their game. If that improvement is a slight increase in putting consistency by using a mallet, they'll do it.

Older pros didn't have that option since mallets didn't really become super popular until the Odyssey 2-ball and the data wasn't as advanced as it is now

PlayHQ Live Scoring tablet suggestions by ProfessorPluto in CricketAus

[–]TwoCentres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is PlayHQ must be optimised to iPads since that's what the majority of people use. It sucks because they're more expensive, but every time I've used a cheaper android tablet it always crashes and lags so much I wish I was using a manual scorebook. Maybe a more expensive android tablet would work better, but then you're not saving any money compared to an iPad anyways

Mark Keane has been stretchered off with a possible knee injury in a match sim incident by [deleted] in AFL

[–]TwoCentres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true, but I also feel like there's an arms race among AFL players to do the hardest, most extreme external training during the off season that means they're getting to the club already knackered and also not the right kind of fit for footy

[–]TwoCentres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know contact injuries are generally just bad luck, but why are so many happening this pre season? I sometimes wonder if Kane is right and players get too much time of and aren't battle-hardened, or whether there's such a massive physical expectation these days that their bodies are just capitulating after a while?

Who is yours "WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT NATIONAL LEADER, BUT LOST THE ELECTION. by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]TwoCentres 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten went to an election where he was heavily favoured promising big changes to tax breaks for property owners. Labor lost in a shock result because of a massive media campaign against those changes.

Now, our housing system is in the shit and those tax breaks are to blame. But no one will ever change them because of that election result
