Those are all PART of what they should be showing. However, the show is called "Alone" - and it's about how people cope with being alone, in the bush, with no (extremely limited) contact with other people for a prolonged time. It's as much about their mental & emotional states, as it is about...

I doubt it. They're very happy with the TV and SBS on Demand numbers. It's the highest rating locally-produced show on the entire network.

Choosing Hamish Blake as the reunion host was just bizarre. Surely Gina Chick would have been an infinitely better option? I agree with your comments about the ending. If that's what you think, then you really don't understand what Alone is all about. Alone is not just about survival, it's...

It was definitely a strange one. They really did have no choice but to pull him out, given his physical condition. It must have been a regularly scheduled medical check-up, given that his partner hadn't arrived in NZ yet, so it wasn't the usual "fake check-up while the partner sneaks up on...

... and I wouldn't bet on Smith retiring (or being delisted) either. That's pure wishful thinking and/or BF groupthink.

Agreed. Any other track and Sainz would have screwed his race completely. On SM-X205 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Geez, I really know how to pick them don't I. Last week I predicted that Tamika was the only certainty to go through to the final episode. Who was the only person to tap in Ep 9? Tamika. This week, I predicted that K would be pulled early in the episode, on medical grounds. To be fair, they...

No. It's all done electronically - not talking heads on TV. Just a draft tracker on the AFL website.

The way it's worded, if you've had prior opportunity, then you need to dispose of it "immediately" with a correct disposal. There's no "attempt" for a player who has had prior opportunity. Players can get away with an "attempt" if they haven't had prior opportunity.

Yes, absolutely. Here's the list of players who nominated for the 2023 ND: https://www.zerohanger.com/every-nominated-player-for-the-2023-afl-draft-revealed-145295/ Toby Murray is on the list. Toby Murray also nominated for the 2022 ND...

During their formation year, when the AFL was desperate to generate interest in the club by the local banana benders...

I was wrong on that one. It's not a free, provided the umpire is satisfied that the player is making a genuine attempt to dispose of the ball. Attempting to handball, but failing, IS a throw. Here's the definition of a throw: If the player fails to make contact with a clenched fist, then...

This is my understanding as well. It should be noted that the concept of "incorrect disposal" only really applies in the context of an HTB decision (i.e. when a player is being tackled). A throw is illegal at all times, regardless of whether or not a tackle is being applied. The rules have...

Probably not... though I'd be extremely reluctant to put a % figure out there, as to what is & isn't acceptable. The club has said that there are 10 players on their merit list. Do not expect the club to be drafting anyone outside that list, because anyone outside that list simply isn't...

The should absolutely grab a player if they think they have the potential to make it. On the flip-side, I see no reason whatsoever for drafting a player who they don't rate, just because we have list positions available. ... and by all accounts, there are only 10 players in this year's MSRD...

That's true for players requiring an 18-month contract. It's not true for players on 6-month contracts. These can be delisted at the end of the year, with no change to our final pick count.

But why spend any resources on them at all, if we don't rate them, and think their chances of making it at AFL level are remote at best? Just because we have resources available, it doesn't mean we should be pissing them away on players who have no chance of making it.

That doesn't mean that they have any chance of making it, or are worth the club spending time/resources on them. ** The issue here is the club's time/resources, not the players' time.

Very much the latter.

Rule 18.6.2 and 18.6.3, in the 2024 Laws of Australian Football: https://resources.afl.com.au/afl/document/2024/03/20/a1cd31c5-e4f1-47a1-a8be-005d0b990cbe/2024-Laws-of-Australian-Rules-Football.pdf Also, Rule 18.13 Looking at those rules... If a player has had prior opportunity, then a...

If he misses the kick, then it's "Incorrect Disposal", and a free to the tackler.

According to McLaren, Sainz ramming Piastri resulted in "20 points" of aerodynamic loss, which equates to 0.5 sec/lap. The repairs they did during the red flag reduced the damage to "10 points", or roughly 0.1-0.2 sec/lap. The bigger concern was the impact that it had on OP's ability to keep...

I think they had to be put on the Inactive List yesterday, in order for us to have an extra pick in the MSD.

Yes. All AFL contracts expire on 31st October, which is before the last of the draft nomination dates. On SM-A5360 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Not quite. The game you're referring to was R2 2017, when Adelaide defeated Hawthorn 113-89. Our last win at the MCG was in R17 2017, when Adelaide defeated Carlton 89-77. Our record at Docklands is far better (and we play there more often). Our last win at Docklands was R6 2024, once again...

For those who are interested, SBS will be showing Alone S10 (US version), starting next Tuesday (4/6/24). SBS VICELAND & SBS VICELAND HD 8:30pm - Alone S10E01 - Before the Drop 9:25pm - Alone S10E02 - Game On Alone S11 (US) starts in the US on 13th June, and will probably be available through...

Agree 100%. Should be Gina hosting the reunion.

Apparently Jay Clark, from The Hun, says that Dawson left Sydney because of the cost of living: https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/sydney-cost-of-living-storm-brewing-over-afls-four-dirtiest-words/news-story/4adb550a6c4923202496313df9fb3911 Utter bullshit of course... but what else do you expect?

I must admit that I'm not a fan of the show's production decisions this season. I'm not talking about their choice of location, which has been a massive upgrade on the dingy hell-hole that was Tasmania. I'm talking about them spending a lot of time building up storylines, then failing to...
