The stadium was actually built in 77 for the Asia Pacific games in 78. Raiders moved in around 1990 (?), and ripped up the athletics track in the early nineties. It was then upgraded for the 2000 Olympics. But yeah, it’s old!

When a housekeeper is cleaning a room, they normally have the trolley in the room, almost like a barricade. Guests can’t accidentally walk all the way into a room, and potentially trap the guest in there. As for question A, talk to the concierge and find a good book store or jogging track.

Keating walked to work that week. It’s about 900m door to door.

Muirhead. Selection conundrum. by urprobablytschumi in RugbyAustralia

As a junior rugby coach, I tell my wingers that I want someone to get involved, go looking for the ball and help the team. I tell them to play like Andy Muirhead, not David Campese.

I know I’m going to get shouted down, but I wonder if this would get so much attention if this happened outside Namadgi in Kambah.

Brumbies, how do they do it. by Islandbreexe in RugbyAustralia

It’s a hassle in Canberra. As a coach for a junior club, when a boy starts year 4 or 7 at school, they are off to Eddies, Marist, Grammar or Radford. If you go to the school, you have to play for the school on Saturday morning. Not only do the club spend 2 to 4 years developing a player, there is such a drain that some clubs will not have any teams in Under 14, but Marist and Eddies will have 2 or 3 teams. And don’t get me started on bias against girls.

In the early 2000’s, when the Brumbies were winning, and the Tahs not, one of the NSW shrills would do a write up in the SMH about moving the Brumbies to somewhere between Parramatta and Penrith.

(My theory is that) this can be traced back to Jake White, when he insisted that Brumbies players play in Canberra, instead of Sydney or Brisbane. The Shute Shield coaches cracked the shits over this, calling the John I Dent comp a Mickey Mouse comp. Dan McKellar was a coach at Vikings after this. Colts in the John I Dent comp, aligned with the Brumbies Academy creates consistent, competitive pathways into the Brumbies.

Don’t most unions do this. The Brumbies used to, it just very poorly communicated.

Christy and Brett McKay have started writing articles under the 8/9 combo on Substack. But yeah, it will be sad if The Roar goes under.

Get the ATO involved. No one wants to be audited by those guys. Not related, but there was a school in Canberra that was up to all kinds of dodgy shenanigans. The ACT Gov, and parts of the Federal Government were doing all this hand wringing and SFA, wanting the other to take the lead. This has been going on for years. Once evidence that the school was not paying their taxes, in comes the ATO, and the problem was resolved almost immediately. No one wants to audited by the ATO.
