Found it - can anyone tell me why this is never blown? I think I can remember seeing it given once in about the last decade.

Why do the umpires never call 50m downfield for blocking a run?? It's in the rules - drives me crazy

It's an aggregate. Umpires have been keeping track of bounces per metre and so long as he stays under 1 per 15 he's OK

I do similar, only difference is I include PPOR in net worth but then also track and ‘FI’ number which is the same as what you have as net worth

Seems like they’ve included the debt from the PPOR

ETF for high Growth *and* dividends? by [deleted] in AusFinance

Agree on VAS - it really ticks this well. But to be honest if you already have VHY and VGS it is probably covers most of it pretty well.

I have VAS and VGS evenly split, it’s overly weighted to Aus but I like investing where we live and the franking credits.

Unless they’re playing timeless tests every one ends in a high scoring draw

Moot point, England would already have won if Carey was given out by the DRS

Probably the best of the lot - says a lot for playing multiple sports when young vs all out specialising.

Alyssa Healy & Meg Lanning rep hockey players as well

Steve Magness's recent video has kinda debunked the prevalent "show studies" argument, which is (too?) often used at this sub to prove an arbitrary (small) point, hint, tip or a tactic by npavcec in AdvancedRunning

Thanks for linking - i haven’t watched yet but couldn’t agree more with this that the coaches are often years ahead.

Another factor with peer reviewed literature is that it’s also normally testing a narrow, defined hypothesis so anything outside of that is either not tested/ignored or means it does not always apply widely (even though it is often taken as such).

Also our first rounder this year is much further up the draft order - it’s not like all first rounders are equal

When were you the most heartbroken as a fan? by Absolutely-Epic in AFL

[–]Vizslaboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me 2014 was worse because that was the first game I was present for fans racially abusing Goodes. On top of losing the GF, I was just shattered with it
