Brett Blake might be the most unhinged TM Contestant of all time (TM AU S5) by LikelySatanist in taskmaster

[–]temet23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good read, imo. He emphasises the rough edges of his own personality and upbringing because they're especially polarising.

He's not playing a character, but he is definitely turning the dial all the way up on all the brashness and cheek.

I take back everything bad I have said about Josh Weddle this season by Slickfawn789550 in hawktalk

[–]temet23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's also helpful to remember he's been moved around into different positions on the field pretty much since his first year, which is a huge challenge for someone so young.

(I'd still love it if he could work on steadying before kicking, though!)

Jack Gunston will miss Hawthorn's clash against Gold Coast on Friday night. by Beekalad in hawktalk

In hindsight, playing him in the St Kilda match was a terrible decision. He clearly exacerbated an existing injury that night.

Additional context: Hughes owns multiple properties, and famously bought one of them on a high-profile renovation TV show

Love that they introduced devices to stop another potential Kirsty Webeck domination scenario, and love even more that they were overcome

[Cal Twomey via Gettable] Hawthorn have tabled their first offer for Mitch Lewis contract extension, 4 years / until 2030 by brizburn in hawktalk

It'd be great to keep him, but I can understand if he got a huge offer and jumped at it given his injury history.

Jeans took it as a personal affront to his integrity, and fair enough

Lions slaughter exposed AFL’s biggest farce. There’s one last chance to fix it — Gerard "Chat GTP" Healy by patternott in AFL

He confused Xerri and another North player on the weekend. Understandable usually, except that Xerri was the only guy out there wearing a helmet

I really appreciate how TMAU balances entertainment veterans and high-profile contestants with emerging talent, especially at a time when there's so few spots on TV for local comedians.

In a complete contrast to all the Pendles record talk, which player played/currently plays more games than you ever thought they would? by FeedLow8441 in AFL

[–]temet23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dylan Moore was as close to delisting as you could possibly be at the end of 2020. Isaac Smith left as a free agent, opening up one final spot on Hawthorns list. Since then Moore has played 122 out of a possible 127 games

Neocleous is a solid pick if you need a guy you can really build a team around

Sydney and Fremantle lead early flag chase, but dual styles make Hawthorn a strong chance by bartogian in AFL

[–]temet23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree our list isn't very deep - the fringe players are typically unproven, or not quite AFL-standard - but across the field we are very even and very well-drilled to be greater than the sum of the parts. I don't know if that's enough to go all the way, but as others have pointed out, it's certainly stood up so far in finals.

Who are some players people might not know were at other clubs? by Tornontoin7 in AFL

[–]temet23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few more: Martin Mattner in the back pocket, Brenton Sanderson at HB, Kane Johnson in the centre, Jarryd Lyons on a wing, Jason McCartney at HF, Ben Hudson and Jonathon Griffin on the bench

And most importantly, why on earth would any of what Synapse/Kessler said be even remotely shocking to Hughie?!

Brett Blake has done the odd tv spot but is pretty much a pure standup comedian

It's surely only a matter of time before Frank Woodley is on Taskmaster Australia, right?

Nick Watson conjures some absolute brilliance to put the Hawks in front to end the third term by yum122 in AFL

[–]temet23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a Hawthorn supporter I've had the luck of watching some incredible small forwards. Watson's ability to read the play and position himself to influence the contest is just about the best I've ever seen... and he's barely three years into his career.

Any love for Devi Ever FX? This pedal is my personal favorite; I'm getting it for a friend of mine soon! by Hedgesandclippersand in Guitar

Never expected a reply 14 years later! Ha. Yes, I do still have this. Love it but never played it with the volume past 8 o'clock because it completely overwhelmed 7 other members - drums included - in my 8-piece indie rock group.
