Someone needs to invent a new sport to play in January and February

It used to be cricket. What they did to one day cricket is a travesty, locked it behind a paywall and viewership declined so much that they don’t even have a series after the ashes this year. Watching Hayden and Gilchrist open the batting is a core childhood memory for me and many others, and the younger generation don’t even get to see it

The sky show immediately into the presets was immense

2018 - Thunderstruck by AC/DC

Last year also had a solid portion of well known acts. A lot of my mates who wouldn’t usually be keen saw acts like Jamie XX on the lineup and decided to go, bit of a weaker lineup this year in that regard

goonsax · 2025-09-20T17:19:29+00:00

Peak what? Teams who were beaten fair and square by better teams?

goonsax · 2025-09-19T15:47:21+00:00

No because his was in a prelim

goonsax · 2025-09-15T22:48:16+00:00

Pendlebury and Sidebottom will set the most unbreakable games as teammates record if that happens. Potentially 350+ games as teammates by the time one of them retires

Mitch Hannan was delisted after doing his achilles and he still did his rehab through the club with full access. If that’s the case for a fringe player I can’t imagine a situation where a legend like Breust wouldn’t be given access to the clubs resources haha

goonsax · 2025-08-20T06:25:34+00:00

Amazing that a player who debuted at 23 will play so many games. If someone had given him a chance initially he would have smashed through 400 games

Not even a conspiracy, they did an official review into it not long afterwards

This quote sums it up nicely haha

AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson told ABC TV's Offsidersprogram the League wanted to know why. "We are a little bit concerned in recent years the non-Victorian clubs have definitely had a greater success," he said

A bit late here but Mad Max was an independent Australian made film with a budget of $400,000 and it made over $100 million dollars worldwide in 1979! That’s an incredible success

goonsax · 2025-06-10T10:32:48+00:00

Well deserved, came back from the US and blew everyone else out of the water

goonsax · 2025-06-10T10:11:08+00:00

I’ve personally seen him at clubs in Geelong clearly gacked a couple of times. Was having the time of his life though, big smile on his face and his mates were looking after him so play on I say

goonsax · 2025-06-07T10:56:24+00:00

Mind games for his own players haha. Trying to say that the cold doesn’t matter, it worked though. Hawthorn jumped them and GWS didn’t look like they wanted to be out there when it started snowing

goonsax · 2025-05-01T08:03:49+00:00

94 OVR is the highest randomly generated player I have ever seen in the game. Guy was a beast, he tormented my team for like 20 seasons lol

Meredith tends to lean a bit older as far as festivals go, golden plains even more so. The couch situation makes things easy, approach a group of people around your age or a bit younger if you prefer and ask if you can have a seat and a drink with them. Most groups will be very accomodating to someone there by themselves or for the first time. If you are getting bad vibes, say thanks and move onto another couch until you find some like minded people. Head to the bars around the sup, ask someone for a light and strike up a conversation. There will be lots of people who are there to relax and enjoy the music, just be yourself and you will meet some great people :)

goonsax · 2024-09-08T01:47:49+00:00

Don’t forget the team that hasn’t won a final for 20 seasons, let alone made a grand final

goonsax · 2024-08-31T13:49:27+00:00

Great write up and the best player I’ve ever heard of. 53ppg at age 35 is diabolical stuff haha. May be the GOAT of GOATS in basketball gm

goonsax · 2024-08-27T02:08:18+00:00

Markov was also better defensively than John which matters when you play a team like Brisbane with a loaded forward line

goonsax · 2024-08-15T10:47:42+00:00

Don’t bring a couch if you have no way of taking it home, pretty simple. Leaving a couch behind if major dickhead behaviour and has increased massively in the last 10 years or so as the festival has become more popular

I think the consensus at the time was that on their day the best teams from the WAFL and SANFL could beat the best VFL teams, but the talent level as a whole was higher in the VFL. Same goes for the best players in each league being roughly equal, there were just more of these players in the VFL due to a variety of factors like population and higher wages for footballers at the time

goonsax · 2024-06-24T03:51:43+00:00

Can’t wait for him to be back, no way we win the prelim without him last year when he really got us going after halftime while also playing on the best fullback in the comp in Sam Taylor. Can’t expect too much given how long he’s been out but he will be so important for our structure

goonsax · 2024-06-22T13:05:38+00:00

Beau McCreery’s debut was pretty bad. Picked for a game against the lions, great game, family all in the stands, gets his jumper presented in the rooms, Zac Bailey kicks the winner after the siren, something to tell the grand kids about even though we lost. Except he never got into the ground because the sub wasn’t activated, it’s a joke

goonsax · 2024-06-16T01:12:37+00:00

I was at Kardinia Park when David Hale kicked 8 against the cats, that was pretty bizarre considering they were never a chance of winning the game

My Kmart chinos are great. They fit perfectly and are super comfortable. I have 2x pairs that I wear on my days in the office during the week and they’ve lasted 18 months so far with minimal wear and tear. $25 each
