So you are telling me he isn't the next Dustin Martin?

The strangest part of that comparison was always that dusty is highly skilled with explosive athleticism and speed

SPP is none of those things and has none of those attributes

You know how ripped jeans is a thing amongst the kids these days and they try to out do each other?

So you know those jeans with the knee rips that make you think "may have well just worn shorts"

Apparently, Mrs Rioli had a pair of those jeans on and Jeffrey handed her $200 bucks and said if she couldn't afford clothes then he would help her out in a public setting.

To be fair, I pay my wife out about the same thing.

I was sitting at the traffic lights and a mid 20’s bloke was walking across the pedestrian crossing. He was rocking the prison guards took my belt look. His pants crotch was literally at his knees so I in a deadpan manner said “excuse me mate, do you know your pants are falling down”. He just kept on trundling along. My then missus, got up me about it, I thought I was quite polite in my subtle pay out.

Their target market is anyone. Anyone can become addicted.

The poor and the aged just have the time to sit there all day.

They market it as entertainment.
It’s not specifically aimed at anyone and is aimed at being entertaining.
If your sucked in by that, that’s your own fault. Don’t go near the things is my advise.

 

[FR0GGY]

Surely pokies can’t be addictive because they are entertaining, they’re boring as bat shit.
Has to be the prospect of winning.

I'm sure everything about a poker machine has been designed in a way to draw you in and keep you there. I'm also sure that they have a target demographic.

Alan Jackovich on the Front Bar. Just a classic appearance. His description of the hypothetical dust up with Glen was a total cracker.

I remember seeing a sa v wa state game at footy park when Alan was playing in the sanfl (wwt?) and glen was playing in the wafl. Had a bro v bro excitement to it back the even as Alan was already a bit of a mercurial goal scorer.

Just like any other product or service.

Generally, exploiting the vulnerable is frowned upon.

Haha yeah! It's pretty bad now. An ad always seems to appear just where you are about to press.

On that, is anyone else experiencing bugs with this site at the moment on their phone? Freezing up a lot.

Good job on trolling port last week. It’s our turn again...

Pokies should be placed right alongside the general garbage bin, the recycling bin and the green bin. They are trash cans for money.

Baffles me that in this day and age, with their uselessness so well known, that there are still adults who flush significant portions of their incomes down that dunny.

Coles and Woolies have chocolate bars at the checkouts. Just so kids can see them and hassle their parents to buy em.

They never have fruit there.

All businesses exploit the venerable. It is called Marketing.

Yes, it is a bit choppy. Keep getting "this page has become unresponsive" if only for a few seconds, and hitting the wrong link because the page has stalled.

You made a huge jaw dropping gaff. They'll probably do you in the wet

It's Australian culture to do this.

Excuse the Facebook link, couldn’t find a YouTube version.
I came across this this morning, thought it was worth posting to show a few younger posters what the SANFL and Unley was like pre AFL. Also look at some of the Port thuggery.

Ever spent any time living or working overseas?

Baby Jumbo Eddie Fry takes a hanger. Thanks for that. Might have been there.

Bruce Macavaney sounding posh at the start

Not only did we have the Douglas calamity cost us the first Showdown but SPP landed a 65m bomb on the run, straight through the middle, in the last quarter. A million to one shot for a player of his skill level.

He kicked it out of his arse, like all the other rogue goals Port have scraped home against us with over the years. I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t pure arse.
