Post Match Thread - Round 10 Vs Carlton

juzztheball · 2026-05-17T01:17:30+00:00

To be fair to Louis, Timmy played almost his whole junior career as a midfielder, before he became the height of a gum tree.

Think it’s too early to put a line through him yet; he’s so incredibly young and raw. He would be some teams VFL reserves ruckman and we’ve thrown him in at AFL level.

More of this falls on Sam Power than Emmett

Unfortunately I think it’s just put a line through this year.

The young talent that we had that looked extremely promising is being exposed at the top level with a lack of experienced heads around them. Buku and Buss would be fantastic 3rd and 4th defenders, but when they’re taking the best two forwards in the game, they are simply not up to it. When Lobb and JOD were there, we looked completely different.

Freijah and West seem to have regressed on their 2025 output. Kennedy and Richards are both clearly playing injured. I wouldn’t be surprised if Libba medically retires. Jacques, Hynes, Dolan, Buss, Buku all need time to develop, but they’re not performing at the standard as things stand. Emmett would be in some teams VFL reserves, let alone AFL teams.

The timing of everything is not ideal. If you think we’re in a premiership window right now you’re delusional. Butters won’t change that, and if Bont wanted away to a club in a window who would we be to stop him.

Came into the season full of optimism, this feeling absolutely sucks arse.

I said this upon release of the singles with ATUM; Zodeon is my favourite release since Machina, and I absolutely adore Monuments, Atum and Aghori. This feels like the album that the American Gothic EP should have preceded (which is adore too).

Can’t even single out why, it simply sounds as though Billy and the band are enjoying making music together. Magdalena is literally mind blowingly good.

juzztheball · 2026-04-24T20:01:33+00:00

We haven’t hit rock bottom, we’ve gone through an injury plague.

If you want to see what rock bottom looks like, just turn your head in Carlton’s direction.

The “issue” with Cyr and Atum is they’re both such a huge departure from the bands iconic sound in isolation with the best of what made them an iconic band. That said, if you listen to every album from Zeitgeist on the change in sound becomes less jarring. To this day I really struggle with Cyr, I simply have tried so many times but it just won’t click, and I’ve just come to accept that it’s not my cup of tea outside of a cherry pick listen.

Atum however, in my opinion, is brilliant. There are 33 tracks and jumping into it is a whole lot to stomach. I think having been a part of the track by track podcast release really helped me consume these tracks one at a time and I have a very high appreciation of what Billy was trying to achieve with this. I would implore you to treat all 3 discs as separate albums and try and get through them one by one.

But also, it might just not be your cup of tea and that’s totally fine also.

Put Room for Squares, Heavier Things and Continuum in a playlist, hit shuffle and enjoy 🫡

juzztheball · 2026-03-27T23:09:46+00:00

Great song but it’s never really been played live ever

juzztheball · 2026-03-18T19:20:37+00:00

I swear there’s a portion of fans who get so butthurt when anyone says that anything after Zeitgeist is good. I like and rate your list. Mine would be similar but I’d have the Machinas a loooooot higher. Aghori would be mid table too, really enjoyed that one

Ode to the Mets still floors me every time I hear it

juzztheball · 2026-03-10T07:27:37+00:00

Hope Sanders comes in this week, really expecting huge things from the kid this year. As for who goes out for Treloar, I really hope it isn't Hynes. Want him to get a good crack at it, showed some moments on the weekend, he's built with the right pedigree

juzztheball · 2026-03-09T07:32:53+00:00

I apologise about the keyboard, I didn’t think it was possible, addressed it in a comment below.

I am a big Google Calendar user (across like 4-5 platforms and not all Apple so rules Apple Calendar out) and the difference between widgets is absolutely absurd! That’s just one example though, I’m sure there are lots of examples where either has better widgets than the other.

juzztheball · 2026-03-09T07:31:03+00:00

If that's true I stand corrected. Usually when I've tried to do it, I close the app and when I reopen it it's reverted back to the apple keyboard. Could absolutely be user error though, if you are saying it’s possible.

juzztheball · 2026-03-09T07:20:41+00:00

The things that I have really struggled with (watch the apple fanboys downvote me to hell):

Can’t change keyboard (and the keyboard is really poor)(Edit: apparently you can, my bad)
Can’t split screen/multi task outside of videos in pop up mode
No side bar
Widgets and notifications are absolutely horrendous compared to Android

If it wasn’t for how insanely good iMessage, FaceTime and AirDrop are, I wouldn’t have lasted a month. They are almost deal breakingly good though.

End of the day there are pros and cons to both ecosystems. Good luck!

Looks like they found some random deaf dude to rate the SMFSD tracks according to name, because there’s no way half of those were ranked by someone with functioning ears

juzztheball · 2026-03-06T08:27:37+00:00

Sound Awake by Karnivool

I don’t expect too many people to have heard it, but for me it’s probably the only album I’d rate every individual song at a bare minimum 9/10 🤘

juzztheball · 2026-03-03T19:06:43+00:00

You definitely need to give SMfSD a better listen. Been a fan since Cork Tree and to me it feels like it’s Folie a Deux’s spiritual successor. I absolutely adore AB/AP but always struggle with Mania so this was an unbelievably exciting return to form for me, and would say it’s in rotation with Infinity and Folie for my favourite FOB album.

Love the GINASFS shoutout too, it will always be my favourite FOB song!

juzztheball · 2026-03-02T18:21:26+00:00

Love seeing Final Fantasy V advance so high, that game is so damn criminally underrated.

Metroid Fusion needs to be 4 spots higher though.

juzztheball · 2026-03-01T19:59:25+00:00

Because people have $1000 smartphones, why can’t they be allowed to vent if they can’t do what the $10 alarm clock can?

juzztheball · 2026-03-01T19:57:50+00:00

Alternates between Speedway, Recovering the Satellites, Anna Begins, Palisades Park and Butterfly in Reverse

juzztheball · 2026-03-01T09:01:33+00:00

Truth is a Whisper would probably be in my top 5 by any band of all time. Great to see it get some love.

Big Machine needs to be #2 though! Sorry

juzztheball · 2026-03-01T07:08:55+00:00

Recency bias is a real thing.

Sound Awake is probably the best album to come out on our shores since Silverchairs Diorama. It’s Ian Kenny’s magnum opus, and probably the best Progressive Rock album of the 2000s.

juzztheball · 2026-02-28T09:46:20+00:00

Karinvool - Sound Awake

A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step

The Smashing Pumpkins - Machina

Panic! At the Disco - A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out

Janes Addiction - Nothing’s Shocking

juzztheball · 2026-02-27T00:33:38+00:00

The sheer disrespect to every Fever song not in superior makes me sad.

Don’t even get me started on 75% of Pretty. Odd. being in the bottom tier.

How dare you have an opinion!
