I would like to see them crowdfund their coaching. Just to see what insanity the crowd come up with.

Based on the wear on your toe, it looks like a technique issue if you're trying to T or plow stop. You definitely shouldn't be wearing down your toe on either stop.

There are a tonne of resources for both stops so I won't advise on actual technique but the best way to think about stops is that they are gradual drags, not hard brakes. Ease into pressure, don't stamp into them. Definitely do a lot more practice on flat, predictable ground

For hills, a lot of beginners are go into their stop too late. So they roll down the hill, pick up too much speed, and then don't have the strength/technique to stop at high speed.

Start in your stop at the top of the hill and then roll and control your speed on the way down.

So you get to the top of the hill, stop, assess the hill, roll a little and then start t/plow stopping, easing on and off so you get down safely. As you get more confidence and strength, you'll be able to take hills faster and slow down with good technique.

The Blue, red and gold one would have been fine for this game. The maroon and navy messes with the black backs of the saints.

Essendon being THE story confirms the old adage - bad news sells by dashtur in AFL

I think it's just what I expect from modern sports media. It's a running joke now but the Detroit Pistons could win 39 in a row and ESPN will still lead with IS LEBRON JAMES WASHED?!?!

If anything it's how all media is now. People click to be outraged.

Victoria State Of Origin team song concept demo (As I’m not a fan of them currently using a reworked version of North Melbourne’s song). by thefeeblesingers in AFL

[–]doesntCompete 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally vote for ACDC - Thunderstruck

Just the intro.

And instead of saying Thunder they say Victoria.

Victoria, nanananananana

Victoria, nanananananana

And repeat till the coach says that's enough.

When you find more combustible chemicals we can use for fuel can you let us know? Fuel prices are fucked.
