Haha thanks mate, it's actually not too bad during the day it's just when that Sun goes down it gets proper Arctic.

Interesting McGuire said on footy classified last night when Collingwood signed mick Malthouse as coach a sponsor gave him a car which paid for him for a couple of years
 
After Dayne Zorko’s latest embarrassment in a long line of indiscretions, I’m actually starting to think that us passing on him all those years ago was a genius move!

How to advertise our great game to overseas viewers.....NOT!

All thru this season, I've been able to watch the VFL games thru the AFL website, and that has been an added bonus.

So really looking forward to the Suns v Box Hiil tomorrow.

As a prelude, thought I'd watch the Swans v Casey game today......nup, can't do..

All I got was "this video is not available in your location"

Well done AFL......you've just kicked another goal :thumbsdown:

I'm back from Bendigo.

My 7th attempt at the Australasian Lasertag Championships has resulted in my best-ever team finish of 6th place in a 24-team field (Up from a previous best of 11th in 2020 and 12th twice before that). Not bad for what people were calling a "development team" in the lead-up to the competition.

I managed a Personal Best finish in Doubles (14th out of 62 pairs) and also managed to go into the Triples Double Elim bracket as the #1 seed but the style of gameplay shifted away from what had gotten us a perfect record through the pool games and we ended up finishing 9th.

But a Top 10 finish in the team's event was my goal for this year and we managed to go into the Finals Series with it already locked away so I'm over the moon with how the last fortnight panned out for me.

Off to Hobart in early August next year to do it all over again, We vote for the host location two years in advance so I was thrilled to find out that we'll be heading to Auckland for the 2024 edition (After many years of my trying to get it voted in)

Thanks to everyone for not burning down the place (As much as a particular demographic of posters tried) and not giving SUNS any more of a hard time than you normally would. Might need to invest in a laptop for next year though if we're gonna be in the Finals race come late season :tearsofjoy:

You joke but the winner of the Juniors event this year from my team is 15 and started up here when he was a wee munchkin.

The Victorian scene is a bit thin at the current moment, Only sending one team each from Werribee/Melbourne and Bendigo. (Finished 8th and 11th respectively)

Hopefully by the time your youngster gets towards 12-13 there'll be junior leagues in Victoria like there are in QLD and a couple other states.
