    Zuma's Top 50 - 1 Bob Dylan

    Just coming back to this. Such depth in Dylan's collection of songs. My top five favourites these days looks very different: 1. Where Teardrops Fall - seems like simple jazzy pop but somehow runs much deeper. Following love into darker places. 2. Every Grain of Sand - set it in the cold war...

    Have other sides caught up tactically to geelong??

    I think part of our tactic was making positions less static, but I feel a lot of that was about Blicavs and how to use him best. Hawkins always took ruck up forward, Blicavs always played everywhere and as a fill in ruck. So logically, if Blicavs is running around on the ball, why do we need...

    Analysis If Dustin Martin wins a 4th Norm Smith medal and premiership will he be regarded as the greatest player of all time?

    Great career and one of the greats of this generation, but he'd be no more the greatest of all time than the triple Brownlow medalists. He doesn't even stand out that clearly from the other greats of this generation, which I feel are a step below some of the greats of the past.

    Play Nice Scott Morrison - How Long? Part 7 - Prosperity Theology, The Coal Man + His Bootlickers

    I was wondering if PVO mentioning Payne as a lead in was to allude to it being her, or if him mentioning Payne excludes her due to it being too close to not protecting the source? Guessing the ramifications would have to have been considered beforehand with her being on the short list of...

    Carlton player Liam Jones refusing vax - Update: Jones retires from AFL

    I can't believe there are so many people stupid enough to believe that stuff. A small percentage of society has always been straight up nuts, but I feel like some people are enjoying messing with other people who are gullible and not smart enough to check the basic facts. Like when they...

    Scott Morrison - How Long? Part 5 - The stroll out.

    Yes, I'm pretty sure sky is a noun. And the noun describes the atmosphere and outer space seen from the earth. Which is quite definitely a thing with physical properties. One of them being that it looks blue on a clear day.

    Scott Morrison - How Long? Part 5 - The stroll out.

    Sorry for continuing off topic, but I thought I should correct this. There is no optical illusion. The actual colour of blue sky as seen by the eye or measured by equipment is blue. The overall spectrum of the light that particles in the blue sky emit down toward the Earth is also blue...

    Radiohead 50-1

    The second feels almost like a Sigur Ros concert :)

    Radiohead 50-1

    Top 4 for me is: Fake Plastic Trees Let Down How to Disappear Completely Reckoner I can never decide what comes next. I love You and Whose Army in the album context, but it loses a little as a stand alone song, Weird Fishes and Jigsaw are cool, but not quite the same level as the top 4...

    Politics Climate Change Paradox (cont in part 2)

    If you want it not to be a matter of faith in the word of others then educate yourself. Use the time that you use for arguing garbage in here to instead learn science and understand it better. I already mentioned that they are modeling chaotic systems so the exact changes in climate are hard...

    Politics Climate Change Paradox (cont in part 2)

    I'm not sure what you expect scientists to do. It is a system the size of a planet. Do you want them to invent a shrink ray and put it in a lab? The sensible approach is measure and understand effects of things then show these things are happening in the system. There are measurements of...

    Israel Folau - HIGHEST PAID PLAYER in the AFL. What a joke.

    You can say it, but it is pretty illogical and seems like spending too much time in other people's business. The wording also makes it sound like other people's love life or bedroom activities need your approval, which seems a bit presumptuous.

    Politics Climate Change Paradox (cont in part 2)

    I believe DARPA is the military research. Obviously, everything in the cold war was a little military focussed, but NASA was created with the intention of being a civilian oriented agency aimed at peaceful applications of space science. Most NASA research is exploratory and scientific to...

    Politics Climate Change Paradox (cont in part 2)

    Like the theory of relativity or any other theory in science? I believe it's called the greenhouse effect, but I'll entertain the idea that your post was serious ;) I'd expect this is one that takes very little to verify in the 21st century. We know gasses, we know waves and radiation. A...

    Politics Climate Change Paradox (cont in part 2)

    As a brief summary for the layman: 1. It has been known for a long time that having increased carbon gasses in the atmosphere causes a greenhouse effect and traps more heat. 2. Carbon gasses enter and leave the atmosphere as part of a natural cycle (one main cycle is extraction of carbon by...

    Politics Climate Change Paradox (cont in part 2)

    Interesting how many votes there are for "climate change is a scam". You can even educate yourself straight off the government website. https://www.environment.gov.au/climate-change/climate-science-data/climate-science/understanding-climate-change They also educate on what peer review is and...

    Review Geelong defeats GCS by 27 points

    If he improves his delivery into the forwardline he'll be quite useful. Having 7 clearances in a game like that is pretty handy.

    Best player per team in AFL era (1990-2019)

    Watched both, and if I were picking a team I'd go Snr. There are very few players like him, if any. He'd be in the argument for best in the air, best on the ground, strongest in a pack, best from the boundary, fastest, most evasive, etc. Jnr is amazing, but the opposition could sort of match...

    Mitch Duncan - The Best Wingman in the League?

    I actually felt like a lot of our players had been played out of position to fill gaps for the last few years, but now everyone seems to be settling back into where they should be. Go back three years or so and Duncan was one of our most important players, then we brought in Danger, then...

    Contenders and Pretenders 2019 ( edited - Page 32 current discussion ) Are Richmond now the team to beat?

    I think Tigers will do okay. The only issues I see are injuries, and perhaps that their game plan might not work as well in the current context (with new rules plus injuries). There seems more players back preventing the fast break through the zone and there also seems to be more open space...

    Rumour Dusty's "coke snorting" gesture at GWS player

    Lol Didn't they use lime for marking in those days? That would seriously hurt to inhale too.

    AFL 2019 Round 3: Melbourne v Essendon, 7:50pm AEDT MCG

    Seeing a player burst out of the centre and goal like Gaz in his prime or Nic Nat was pretty special. I don't want 6-6-6 to make that an everyday thing.

    AFL 2019 Round 3: Melbourne v Essendon, 7:50pm AEDT MCG

    Melbourne's stats this season are a pretty weird anomaly. They lead the league for contested possessions, clearances, tackles and tackles inside 50 per game, and they are also 6th for inside 50s. So it seems like they win the ball more than any other team and pressure more than any other team...

    Good win Bombers!

    The only thing that can save this game is three Melbourne goals.

    AFL 2019 Round 3: Melbourne v Essendon, 7:50pm AEDT MCG

    Just turned it on. Looks like they found a way to combine comedy with football. Is it a wet day or something?

    AFL 2019 Round 3: Adelaide v Geelong, 7:20pm ACDT AO

    Yeah, there are a lot of best 22 players not out there. I hope we keep the hardness once they come back.

    2018-2019 NHL Season

    They outplayed us and definitely deserved the win. Strangely, I get the feeling that almost none of their goals would've got past Vasi though, if he were in. And I'm not too worried about a rematch in the playoffs with Hedman back and Vasi in net. I really don't want Columbus though because...

    AFL 2019 Round 2: Hawthorn v Bulldogs, 3:20pm AEDT MCG

    And Dogs kicked 9 goals, not 7. I can understand Hawks fans wanting to imagine alternative realities though.

    AFL 2019 Round 2: Geelong v Melbourne, 7:25pm AEDT GMHBA

    I think Melbourne are looking much better still at the moment :).
