For years I worked FIFO overseas, and used WatchAFL to follow the footy. I also had a vpn so that I could still use the service at home in Perth. Great quality stream, I believe using the Fox feed rather than the povo Ch.7 feed.

COVID put an end to my travels, but I retained the WatchAFL + vpn subscriptions, which was cheaper than paying for KAYO.

But now they've caught on, and vpn's appear to be blocked. I downloaded a different vpn service, and while it worked initially, it wouldn't work a second time.

I just tried the AFL Match Videos, but they don't appear to be great quality either. Any suggestions?

Ah man I just got jizzed on by the soap dispenser again.

So this has definitely been a f**ked up week, our other older dog died suddenly this afternoon. She was racing around the paddock with our puppy at lunch time and a couple of ours later we were driving her down to the emergency vets. Buried her right next to her older brother

My condolences man. Sending love to you and the missus

Just finished up watching the movie Fall on Netflix.

For someone who is not cool with ledges, that was a sweaty palms of a watch.

7/10 (probably a tad too long)

Use the FIFO money to pay for Kayo

That's brutal GF32. Sorry to hear mate.

Thanks mate.
We're not sure what to do now, the puppy we've got is a really social dog, she hates being alone.
We're thinking about giving it a bit of time to sink in and then in a few months looking for a 1 or 2 year old dog that needs rehoming

So who wants to watch the world burn?

AKA hoping for a Trump victory

Gut feel is the world burns either way

But the riots from the far left if Trump wins will be savage.

Different to Jan 6th

That was bad because of the location being the Capitol building and was a terrible look

Compare that though to what happened during the George Floyd riots which were more widespread, over a longer period and very destructive/violent

That’s what I’m envisioning if Trump wins

Some huge difference there Keys

1) Didn't happen in 2016 when he won
2) It was protesting against the killing of a black guy, latest in a long line of instances of police brutality against minorities
3) 'Terrible look' was trying to overturn a democratic election based on fake evidence Trump and co knew wasn't true

While there may be civil unrest if he wins, doubt it descends into full blown riots

 

[squashface]

Both sides are pretty delusional at the far end - I guess that’s the idea of being far right/left.

Another Republican supporter in the bar told Tomasi he was "scared" the Democrats would cheat the election.
"I'm scared they're gonna cheat again, but I'm also confident. I feel like it might be too big to rig," he said.

Already in the headspace that if he loses then it simply must be because the Democrats have cheated and it isn’t legitimate is a very bad path to be on.

As I said before, suspect we are heading for some sort of violence whichever way the election swings.

I mean, you know, people are entitled to vote for who ever they want. Let there be a thousand blossoms bloom, as far as I am concerned. But I ain't spending any time on it because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in north Queensland

Thanks Bob.

When he said every 3 months I thought he was going to start whining about the seasons/weather again.
