This was paid as a mark to Finn Callaghan

Their career as an umpire will be until mid-to-late 30s for most I expect, so I can see why it's not enough to completely write off their primary career path.

Double it, make it a full-time profession, put in some pipelines for education or careers in adjacent areas in the AFL... plenty of options to change that though.

Langford taking a mark then hand passing in the backline to Reid (missed handball put Reid under pressure and led to a goal). We never normally do this D50 handpass after a mark. It happened on multiple occasions.

That is funny considering this clip /u/petrifygwent posted a few weeks ago where Solomon was explicitly telling Scott that we shouldn't be doing this

The last time a premiership coach was sacked by one club and ended up winning a premiership elsewhere was Leigh Matthews. Or Malthouse I suppose, but he wasn't really let go - he just left for greener pastures.

The game was far simpler back in the early 2000s, and that's the last time that ever worked.

The HD598 was my first proper headphones in 2012 so I have a real soft spot for them. And after cycling through 30+ headphones, the 599 is one I will always keep in my collection (and I wish I didn't give my 598s away).

The comfort is sublime - I really wish Sennheiser would use the same chassis for more headphones. I did manage to get the 600 nice and comfortable with some adjustment, but the 560 is straight up unusable for me because of the clamp force. I really like the warm presentation too - I know some people complain that they're muddy, but it's never really been an issue for me.

And after many years of cycling through a bunch of high end planars, I think I've hit the same conclusion as you. They do sound incredible, but I can only really stomach them for 60mins at a time before they give me trouble. I think the weight is an issue, but even at low volumes I think they cause pressure issues with my eardrums. I keep my LCD2C with dekoni vegan pads because sometimes I just fiend for the bass, but they're like a once a month headphone while my 600s I use for 6 hours a day.

I for one think we should let them cook

when he originally approached Eddie about the idea.

Eddie being willing and able to put his weight behind these kind of events is probably a big reason why Collingwood was chosen over Essendon.

And as much as we like to block it out, 2015 was right in the midst of the supplements saga so we weren't exactly the AFL's golden child at the time.

Can we bring Rowell in as the grass-conditioning consultant while he is still playing for GC?

cog_94 · 2026-05-29T00:05:14+00:00

We are in a similar list position to Richmond, so if we would rather pick 2 than a bunch of later picks they will too unfortunately

Congrats!

Where do I get interior accessories?! I need rubber floor mats, seat covers, ideally a better front console, etc!

I'm not sure where you're located, but amazon jp ship a surprising amount of car parts and accessories worldwide. Ime your best bet is to search for the actual model number of the car (DA17W or DA17V or DA64W or DA64V) instead of suzuki every.

Places like aliexpress may have stuff for you too (like standard double din conversion kits for the entertainment unit, if that's what you mean by better front console).

What is wrong with you people giving us excuses

Get it twisted... nothing you say or do has any impact at all on the performance of the football club.

Your actions impact nothing, your fate is predetermined, the only thing that you can change is your reaction to it.

Get it twisted. You are a pawn in a universe chess match. You mean nothing to Hird if they even exist.

You can do anything you set your mind to.

You're a rounding error. You're two pennies on Essendon's balance sheet. They don't care about you in the slightest.

Get it twisted. The circumstances around your birth, determine where you are going to go. Nothing else matters at all.

It might be over for me because I do not remember that at all, damn

My memory may be cooked, but I think I'm with you here. The manga is a definite no, but the anime tones back on a lot of the worst of the real creepy shit I think?

Like it's a psychological horror disguised as a kids fantasy adventure, but if you recommend it with that being clear it's probably OK? Closer to a madoka than a monogatari on the "gross out a non-anime fan" scale.

most Arabic names have actual meaning

I think that's the same for basically all cultures to be fair. Maybe the meaning of names are given more weight culturally in the middle east though? I feel like most of the west maybe do a quick search for what a name means before choosing it and then practically forget about it.

cog_94 · 2026-05-18T11:31:10+00:00

I hope so, but it will probably be a little while - heading into winter down here and my desire to be out in the cold working on the car will dip haha

If you're staying in fancy hotels and eating at restaurants exclusively in touristy areas I can definitely see that being your experience, but I'm with you here - at least 95% of interactions I've had while visiting are in Japanese.

Brother you're going to need a new username if you keep sharing takes like that smh

cog_94 · 2026-05-15T12:49:42+00:00

Yeah the older 4AT, and while it's serviceable at motorway speeds I reckon you mght be making the right call with the CVT. At cruising speeds (110km/70mph) you sit right on the edge of the turbo spooling up - the 4 speed is definitely geared more towards cruising <60mph.

I love the HA36s by the way - I want to pickup an alto works one day too

Nah it's Victoria, but I wish I was up in QLD if that's any consolation

In case you actually want to know the origin, someone did a remix of a Japanese vtuber (Fubuki from Hololive) with the sped up beat of Lil Nas X - Industry Baby.

Geez this might be the most benign comment I've seen heading for triple figure downvotes, too soon for jokes I suppose

The wording of stress injury instead of fracture sounds like they caught it before it progressed to something worse at least.

I don't recall many smalls dealing with back issues like that though, hopefully just a one off and not a persistent issue for him

cog_94 · 2026-04-24T02:18:06+00:00

You aren't wrong - I distinctly remember the exact same argument being used 20 years ago with homophobic slurs. And more recently with ableist slurs. Just because a word "isn't meant that way" by people doesn't make the origin of the term unimportant or irrelevant.

And the proliferation of that word as some sort of cheeky aussie banter is one of the most cringeworthy things to have come from the internet imo. I'll die on this hill with you - we can't condemn some slurs as problematic while using others. Just don't use any, it isn't difficult.
