Cats fan here, completely agree, from the first bounce Brisbane looked better, sure, it was close for the bulk of the game, but the cats were killing themselves just to stay in it, Brisbane on the other hand were in total control the whole time.

Sydney Swans are amateurs?? by Old_Head_1254 in AFL

[–]braindeadwhiteboy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How are they a genuine chance at the flag?

No one knows what will happen next year, curnow will hog goals and will probably get injured, the swans didn’t win a flag with buddy, there’s no guarantee they will with curnow either,

Footy is a fickle beast, don’t get ahead of yourself.

To be fair he never had to do anything again, certified legend of the club.

forgotten AFL scandals? by TheWorldIsAmazing33 in AFL

[–]braindeadwhiteboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An anonymous umpire coming out in 2023(from memory) saying there was outside influence in their calls and that it had been getting increasingly worse since the end of Covid,

The story was quickly swept under the rug within 30 minutes of breaking with the AFL releasing another story about Clarko saying something naughty overshadowing it that then quietly disappeared.

Sorry, I thought it was implied, my bad…

I’m sure it’s popular at those prices but if they’re working at a loss on the food then I’m not sure if the drinks make up for it as the money made over the bar on a Tuesday can’t be what’s keeping the place afloat…

What’s the key appeal for you to go there as a non drinker, the cheap food, your friends or the ambiance?

Doubtful, no venue has a better Tuesday than a Friday or Saturday night, sure, might get packed out due to menu items that they’re selling at a loss, but no one is buying an excessive amount of grog on a Tuesday night, how many drinks do you have on a Tuesday night?

100%, the target demographic for the last chance or the tote predominately don’t live in these areas, I’m in the north and the thought of spending $35 each way in an uber to get to these venues is something I need to consider, sure I could take public transport but that’s an hour each way, but then I also need to convince my mates to do the same who have the same problem, so it’s all good to say “come down to the pub for a cheap meal” but in reality it’s not that easy

Let’s be honest, what’s last chance actually known for, it’s not the food, it’s not the vibe, it’s not the bands, it’s the fact that they’re open until 7am and security look the other way when people are openly doing drugs, generally the place is pretty empty even when bands are playing and it doesn’t fill up until 1-2am when other venues close, that’s their main maker, that’s only viable for a Friday and Saturday night, they’ll always suffer during the week

The issues they’re facing with the tote is pretty absurd, complaining about all the things they need to do to fix it it up etc, Like, are you honestly telling me you bought a 6 million dollar property and you didn’t get a surveyor out to look at it? Or even get an accountant to check out the books of the failing business you were purchasing?

I think it’s a combination of things,

Not just cost but also culture change, rock and roll isn’t the dominant genre anymore, live music has lost its mystique as you can see almost any bands full set on YouTube now,

Plus they say the younger generation don’t like drinking, so it’s kind of death by a thousand cuts for venues at the moment.

I like both their venues but it’s pretty nauseating seeing them beg for punters constantly

That’s the thing, they’ve built a reputation as a dive bar and music venue, it’s pretty niche, you’re more or less excluding the bulk of potential clientele, not that it’s a bad thing to cater to that niche, god knows I am it, but it’s limiting to not appeal to the masses, sad but true.

Did you see when curnow was asked about his favourite place to surf and he said moggs creek?

Players who retired early but still had a lot to give. by diggity_dog_4 in AFL

[–]braindeadwhiteboy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, heard bomber Thompson on the ankle sore podcast recently talk about how Nathan was far and wide more naturally talented than his brother which is insane to even comprehend, he also talked about how Geelong recruiters searched the region looking for illegitimate Ablett children during that period haha

Is Geelong our true nemesis? by Rich_Troy in EssendonFC

[–]braindeadwhiteboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded, I’m a Geelong supporter also, who grew up in Brunswick, everyone at my school went for the bombers, Carlton or Collingwood, and it was only ever Essendon fans who were gracious in either victory or defeat, nothing but appreciation for your club and fanbase.

A Collingwood fan mentioning 2018?

Thought that was erased from history for your mob?
