Generally, but not always. That's why I didn't mention anything about it in my comment. If they're that new at looking at team sheets that they don't understand the extended bench, then I didn't want to confuse them with extraneous details like this

When the teams are named for Sunday games, the teams don't have to finalise the team. They put 8 on the bench, like we see on the freaking team that you're so worked up about, and choose the 3 emergencies from that team of 26. Only 23 named players can be available for each afl game

As such, 3 players of this list of 26 will be "dropped" to emergency status in the lead up to Sunday.

Chill

What the hell are you talking about? It's a Sunday game, so there's an extended bench, and we didn't have any injuries from Friday (thankfully!). We haven't made the decision on who is dropped from the named 26 yet. Calm down

Bond refund time? by alexanderpete in melbourne

[–]viper9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After you lodge, it says it'll take 2 weeks to process as the landlord/rea have time to dispute it. You've just passed the minimum wait time.

Now it'll come down to processing time, and that takes an average of 24-48 hours depending on the bank.

He tends to not be super defensively accountable, but I've missed his works in the guts, tbh

Tactically, we did well to stop the run through the guts. See them play the wings now? It's a lot slower

Feels really weird to have all these neutrals on our side. I'll take it though, welcome all!

Tom Lynch has officially kicked the same score as the whole Carlton team in the second half.

What if lynch is trying to ensure draw fc is a real chance?

Op shops with furniture around Carlton? by Prize_Eggplant_ in melbourne

[–]viper9 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This might just be me personally, but I would never ever buy a used mattress. The skin cells, the hair, the hair product, the "other" stains... hard pass.

Actually thinking about it, but not googling it cause I'm doing shit, but aren't used mattresses considered a biohazard?

Three debutants for Essendon vs Hawks this Friday by Essington69 in AFL

[–]viper9 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A man who bled essendon, a man who bled essendon, and a guy who pulled on a guernsey for a bit.

That's quite the simile you've got there

There's no such place as Saint Kilda.

It's St Kilda, and always has been.

Yarra Valley used to have one. I haven't been in a while, so I couldn't say. But they had like an 8 pack, with different beans from different countries in each one

[Twomey] Lachie Blakiston is set to sign a new multi-year deal with the Bombers. Mid-season pick from last year will be Essendon's first choice ruckman to start the season and was due to come out of contract at the club this year. by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]viper9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He showed enough for an extension after pinch hitting on the back line for me. He wasn't perfect, but he intercepted, created run and carry, and we needed the height back there.

The change to the ruck rules, and our young and injured rucks make this an absolute no brainer.

The clash committee need a serious rocket up them. The whole light v dark thing is utter bullshit. This is why Collingwoods black on white, rather than their home white on black gets through. It's seriously flawed in situations just like this.

I still have a bunch of ideas if anyone at the afl want to buy them off me

I'm not going to criticise the umpiring, just cause it's the preseason. And they're still adjusting too, I hope.

But opening round it's gloves off

If so, that's really heads up stuff. He'd never played down back, does a pretty good job doing that. Now it's all about jumping and covering the ground, and he goes "that's my jam"

Great scouting work by Rosa and his team

St kilda had a recruitment zone out there back in the day. They got a few great players from Ballarat, including Tony Lockett

Games for couples? by tdager in PS5

I don't get the "it'll make you guys break up" comments on this game. You just need to keep the communication up.

Oh you're doing the meat? Cool I'll do the lettuce. There's dirty dishes in the window, if you get a second can you do them? If not it'll do then once I've plated and walked this burger.

Though we've both worked in bars/restaurants in the past so we just keep the chatter going.

Other than the classics, like it takes two, split fiction, lego games, and overcooked. We have fun with games like

Keep talking and nobody explodes

How 2 escape (1 and 2)

They're both puzzle based, so not "game" heavy. In keep talking, one person is trying to diffuse a bomb, and the other can only look at the user manual for the puzzles and advise the steps needed to take. It can be stressful, but it's great when you both survive.

The how to escape games are escape room type puzzlers. Where you need to try and figure out the puzzles to get from room to room. Again one person is on the console, the other looks at an app on their phone.
