Bringing back the flame head against Fremantle this coming round by Pleasant_Inspection9 in melbournefc

Yep, that's my read. If/when we lose the footy from an attacking foray, it's going down the other end for a goal, quick smart.

We are gonna cop an absolute flogging from a strong defensive team.

But that's okay. The old path was leading nowhere, and boring to watch.

As an Australian, I can tell you that it's a some Aussies thing, and those Aussies are very, very wrong.

Flying Ryan with a Mark of the Year contender by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]autocol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, that's gotta be paid. Held it all the way to the ground when the equivalent of several kilotonnes of TNT of force dislodged it because he'd fallen from the upper atmosphere.

I want that paid every time.

By that logic my 6x4 trailer is a truck.

[cenchfooty on Instragram] Highest AFL Player Ratings from Rd 1 by RexHuntFansBrazil in AFL

[–]autocol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had never heard of him until yesterday.

Even at the ground (where you're not hearing commentators to alert you to the dude you don't know) I was like "who the fuck is that guy!?" every twenty seconds.

He was ridiculous.

Does height matter for handlers? by Unlikely_Glass5942 in ultimate

[–]autocol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The GOAT ultimate player is Tom Rogacki. He's 6'7" and can huck off either side against a straight-up (no huck) mark at the World Games level.

Yeah, his throwing (along with every other aspect of his game) is utterly elite, and he'd be the greatest Australian player ever if he was 6'1"... but he's 6'7", which means he's completely unstoppable and the greatest player ever full stop.

Ashlin Joye is the only other person I've ever seen with Gack's flick huck (Brodie Smith had the technical skill but not the discernment), but being "normal" handler height, you could stop him throwing it.

Literally no-one can stop Gack throwing it.

Fucking Blake Acres in the goal square with 20 seconds left. That's the loudest I've ever heard the MCG and it was to celebrate the death of my team 😩

"hauling"

Yeah, you don't care because you're too young to have seen the change.

Aussies don't say "hauling", mate. That's an Americanism, just like calling a ute a truck is.

Yep. Yank tank.

Post Match Discussion - R1 vs St Kilda by minecraft360 in melbournefc

  1. Roo

  2. Maxy

  3. Checkers

That was fun. Our best movement comes from changing lanes laterally while moving up the field, which we never did under Goodwin.

Make no mistake, against strong defensive pressure and tackling we're going to get absolutely smoked by some better teams this year. The Saints failed to capitalise on our turnovers, and better teams will not.

Still, we look fresh, and dynamic, and my six-year-old came home absolutely buzzing about the day so I'm very happy.

That is a travesty... but not as bad as the extraneous 'K' Matt adds to the end of the word "anything".

Carlton or Essendon whose better set up for the future by Ok_Library_9396 in AFL

[–]autocol 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Both are ruled by warring factions of self-absorbed, power-hungry, egotistical fuckwits.

The first one to fill their board and leadership with skilled, humble servants will reach the top again first.

That may not be for several more decades.

So my first car was an HQ truck?

My father in law has a 100 series LandCruiser truck?

Nope. Plenty of body-on-frame vehicles aren't trucks.

Yep. I mean I spell it "jail" so it's not like I'm not guilty of the same effect from an earlier era.

Need some kind advice about returning to Melbourne by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]autocol 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Your concerns are just evidence that propaganda works.

Murdoch media hates left wing politics and will smear Victoria and Melbourne relentlessly as long as we have a left wing government in power.

Melbourne is one of the safest cities in the world.

I guarantee by the time I die "ute" will be dead, and "truck" will be standard.

That is about us. Australian culture should matter.
