There's also Strade Bianche (on SBS) if you're into cycling - which you may (or may not) be, given that it's not motor racing.

It's on FTA TV - Channel 10. 7:30-10:30 tonight and tomorrow night.

Don't forget there's the Race of Champions this weekend as well.

By my count there should be 25 races on the first night of the RoC (18x group races, 4x quarter finals, 2x semi finals, 1x grand final). Given that the broadcast only goes for 3 hours, of which 1/3 will be ads, the race:filler ratio should be pretty good for the actual programming content part...

Why are Seb Loeb and Mick Schumacher seeded straight through to the quarter finals? It's not as if Mick Schumacher is even a particularly good driver.

According to cricinfo, all 3 teams chose to field this round - Tas put QLD in to bat, NSW did the same to WA, and SA with Vic.

I don't know.

The AFL has an equalisation policy, which reflects (among other things) the fact that not all fixtures are created equal. The equalisation policy takes into account that some game slots are less popular than others, both for spectators and advertisers. Clubs which are continually banished to...

The base amount is player salaries, which are paid for by the AFL. I wonder what the other $1-1.5M Adelaide received was for?

... and yet, here we are! Given that clubs are already making use of the F/D rule, it has obviously been agreed to. They just haven't documented it publicly. The policy/rule exists - it's just the public documentation which is MIA. It took them 4 (or more) years to update their...

Nah... it's either laziness, incompetence, or both (probably the latter). We know they have a rule in place, because we've already seen players selected under the Father/Daughter rule. Maybe they don't have a M/S or M/D rule yet, but they definitely have a F/D rule. Failure to document their...

I'm sure they'll need to address it one day. For now though, all it says is "the person's father", without defining what "father" means. As you say, it could mean a lot of things, to different people. Fortunately, no club has gone out of their way to abuse the seemingly ill defined rule...

It took them at least 4 years to acknowledge that the LTI list had been replaced by the Inactive List, and to define how the inactive list works. We shouldn't be surprised that the terminally incompetent AFL are taking just as long, if not longer, to update their documentation re: F/D, M/S and...

It's not that he has no interest in the Whyalla community - it's that he's a straight out snake oil salesman.

Interesting... F/S requires the father to have played 100 games, whereas F/D only requires the father to have played 1 game. There is no mention of the F/D, M/S, or M/D rule in the 2025 AFL Rules document. As with the Inactive List, they appear to be several years late in updating their...

As I said... the rule probably exists, but the AFL is VERY slow in updating their publicly available policy documentation. The language has been updated to refer to "a person" and the "person's father", which is obviously aimed at broadening the old F/S rule to become a defacto F/D rule. There...

As of the 2024 edition, the AFL Rules document defines only a Father/Son rule, though the language used has been modified to make it applicable to both sons & daughters. There is no Mother/Son, or Mother/Daughter rule mentioned. That's not to say that such a rule doesn't exist - just that the...

To be fair, there was only about 15 min of new footage included in the movie itself. The other 45 min was adding the names of every ****ing NZer to the closing credits (OK - it was all the members of the LotR fan club, but it felt like the names of every living kiwi).

If we're talking worst movie ever made, then dreck like Swept Away is where we need to be looking - not movies like Love Actually, which while overrated is still not in the bottom 1000 movies ever made.

Not any more, they don't - they sold their rights to creative control to Amazon. This means that Amazon now has the final say in everything about Bond - including casting, scripts, directors, etc. That's the whole point of this thread. Wilson & Broccoli no longer have any control over Bond...

Most of the previous Bond castings were relative unknowns, at least as far as the movies were concerned. Sean Connery was best known for being a former Mr Universe winner, before being cast as Bond in Dr No. George Lazenby was a male model from Queanbeyan (not Mudgee), who had never previously...

England all out for 179. And with that, Afghanistan was eliminated from the tournament.

Poms 7/129 now. At this rate they won't have enough runs on the board to force the Saffies' run rate down, even if they were to bowl them out for 0.

If England beat the Saffies, then both Afghanistan & the Saffies finish the Group stage with 3 points - so it all comes down to Net Run Rate. The Saffies currently have a NRR of 2.140, to Afghanistan's -0.990. For the Saffies to lose, their NRR would need to drop below -0.990 (i.e. to -0.991...

Australia are through, and that won't change. Australia are now on 4 points, with both Afghanistan & South Africa currently on 3. Afghanistan don't have any more games, and can't move past Australia. According to comments in the Aus/Afghanistan match wrap, the Saffies would need to lose by...

Essentially, he's right. They would have no problem driving inverted, across the ceiling, such is the downforce that they are able to generate.

It really didn't take that much time. The cricinfo statsguru interface is reasonably easy to use!

They should also ban teams from making other modifications to the car (i.e. repairs), while the race is red flagged. If they want to do repairs or modifications then they can do them after the race re-starts. I'd also have lapped cars take the re-start from pit lane, thus negating any need to...

It's very simple. For the cost of him playing 1 game, which he is almost certain to play anyway, we have the opportunity to sign any kids he may have under the F/SD rule. It's an absolute no-brainer.

At the end of the day Milera is on 99 games, and it's almost certain he'll play his 100th at some stage during the season. It would be absolutely remiss of the club, effectively shooting themselves in the foot, to leave him stranded on 99 games and ineligible for the F/S/D rule. His...
