    Prediction Who's poised to be the disappointment/let down team of 2024?

    Most years there's an unexpected bolter and big improver, however the usual occurrence in any year opposite to that is the team that has a lot of hype/expectation/predicted success that bombs. It could be missing the finals entirely, going from finals to bottom 4, a premiership team failing to...

    BBL 13 (23-24) betting

    Kicks off soon. I've had some strong years betting H2H in recent times, and it adds a lot of interest when watching the games. Post your match day, player prop and future bets for BBL 13 here.

    Business & Finance Side hustles for money

    I'm sure there'd be lots of people here with a side hustle, either a legitimate business or a hobby that makes money on the side, drop shipping, flipping cars, restoring furniture, selling artwork, gardening, day trading financial instruments, being a handy man, pet sitting, cutting hair, doing...

    Multiplat Baldur's Gate III

    Couldn't find a thread on this which is surprising. It's made by Larian Studios which were the producers of Divinity Original Sin I and II, and this game looks very much in that ilk and mechanicly similar (btw if you haven't played DOS I & II you're missing out on 2 all time great games...

    Finals effectively gone. What do we do from here for the 2023 season?

    With finals likely gone (or are they?), and no first rounder in 2023, we are in a really difficult position. There's no benefits to finishing low by way of a top draft pick, but at the same time we still need to invest in our future kids development, whilst also trying to honour the club greats...

    Employment New job experiences

    Just started a new job after a long tenure at another company. Been here a few weeks, was at the old employer for almost a decade. I had a good experience with my old employer, but just decided to make a change as I had reached comfort/boredom/a bit of stagnation. Am not 100% I've made the...

    MRP / Trib. Brisbane challenging Rayner's suspension

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/828929/update-brisbane-will-roll-the-dice-at-the-tribunal I've been wrong on just about every tribunal prediction I've made this year, I think he will get off which probably means he gets a week. I'm still not quite sure where I stand on this one, I want to protect...

    Opinion COVID and the Grand Final - the AFL needs to confirm now

    This is a hypothetical, but a very real one the AFL might face in a final or Grand Final. Fast forward to the last Saturday in September, and the 2 best teams are in the Grand Final. On the Thursday, one team loses 6 players and their coach to COVID, and it happens to be their best few...

    Gameday All Stars game

    Anyone else watching tonight? The opening war cries are spectacular.

    Opinion Excuses/Reasons/Factors in not winning - Why is it taboo?

    Bit of a dive into one of those accepted but not totally logical footyisms, that there are "no excuses". We often hear coaches use this phrase after a loss, and it is also often used on Bigfooty when talking about the losers. Examples might be team A was missing several high profile, key...

    Prediction The Richmond Captaincy thread

    Deserves its own thread rather than a scattered chat. I've kept it to the main choices. Can discuss predictions and the eventual leadership group when announced. Does seem odd that it's almost mid Feb and we don't have any news. Thoughts?

    Multiplat Marvel's Midnight Suns

    Without seeing the gameplay yet, it's a yes from me so far.

    Gold, Silver and other precious metals

    I've just started looking into the investment options offered by the Perth Mint and to diversify a little am thinking of putting a very minimal portion into Gold and Silver. Anyone had any experiences? Long term trends show an upward trajectory so it looks a fairly reasonable long term hold play.

    List Mgmt. Club greats - time to say goodbye

    At the end of the year: Cotchin, Riewoldt, Houli. It's a hard call, but tell me I'm wrong? These guys are only going to decline further and are finished. A chance to send them off against the Hawks in the final round at the MCG would be my recommendation.

    Cars & Transportation Novated car lease

    Anyone do it? Trying to crunch the numbers and work out of the tax savings make it worthwhile and its a good deal. Will need to upgrade car in the next 12 months but thinking of just doing it now to get a decent price for my current.

    Roast Change in gamestyle.

    -No more surge running by hand -Just bombing it long in hope -Non existant forward pressure -Kick and mark game plan we don't have the skills for -Non existant plan going inside 50 What the hell has happened? Why have we deviated from what won us 3 flags in 4 years that no team could stop?

    Fixture Second Tier Comps 2021 and the impact

    Does anyone know what's going on with second tier competitions in 2021? I know that the Eastern comp particularly for the Victorian sides has been on hold a few weeks. Are clubs playing practice matches with each other? What about other state comps? I feel this is a pretty big impact not...

    Fixture Tickets for interstate games

    Hi all, I've been to interstate games before, but only a rock up on the day type thing. I'm looking to secure tickets to Brisbane v Richmond at the Gabba that's just been announced. Does anyone know when/how I could access tickets for that? I'm a Richmond member but unsure where to purchase...

    Prediction The next powerhouse club of the AFL

    If you look at the history of the league (tracing back decades) premierships seem to be won in clusters with powerhouse clubs owning the league for a few years at a time and dominating certain periods with success. Looking back to 1990 as the most relevant guide for the current league (around...

    Society/Culture Amen and Awomen

    There's a few articles and a video on this, I picked one that highlighted the complete stupidity of it though. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/media/ben-shapiro-amen-awoman-congress-cleaver.amp I'm not sure if you'd call it political correctness gone made, gender inclusive...

    Opinion Sponsorships on uniforms - Can we do better?

    I've often thought about this, one thing American sporting codes do well is protect the authentic uniforms and identities that their teams wear on gameday. They generally don't have sponsorships on their playing apparel (or it's extremely minimal), and it looks really authentic honouring the...

    List Mgmt. Do we need another mature age ruckman?

    I'm starting to think we need an insurance mature age back up for 2021, even if available as a rookie selection. 1. We know that Soldo will effectively miss the 2021 season. 2. We go in to the 2021 season currently with only 1 genuine recognized ruckman in Nankervis. While Nankervis is a great...

    PS5 Final Fantasy XVI

    Thematically this looks more like an old school classic FF game with swords and shields, a heap of magic, medieval type setting rather than the modernised type characters and hyper tech world. I like that personally, and looks like it will be story driven too with a lot more interest. What I...

    Opinion Finishing skills in the AFL are embarassing

    For professional athletes in the sport's elite code, finishing skills i.e. kicking for goal either in general play or via set shot are embarrassing. This is highlighted more when you compare the finishing skills (scoring skills) to pro basketball, American football field goals, rugby league spot...

    Opinion Whateley - pushing shortened quarters?

    I generally find Gerrard Whateley fairly balanced and measured, but there's no doubt he has a passive manipulative way of pushing an agenda and act like he's not. Listening to SEN this morning, it seems to be shortened quarters that has become his push. Has anyone else noticed this and what are...

    Twilight or Night Grand Final for 2020?

    I prefer the traditional 2:30pm start time for the Grand Final, but the AFL seems all but certain to test either a twilight or night grand final in 2020. If the decision is between these two start times, which would you prefer? The Twilight slot I've placed a general late afternoon start time...

    Travel Domestic Travel in AUS

    So with international travel pretty much off the cards until at least the end of 2020 (if not longer) many of us will need to itch the travel bug in Australia and possibly NZ down the track. Outside of the major capital city metro regions that are all worth visiting if you haven't been with...

    Where do you make your profits/losses?

    Racing or sports? Which sports? Are you a favourites or underdogs backer? Like handicaps? In play? H2H? Multis? Futures? Player performances? Over/under? Keen to see where people make and lose their money here. I have only ever been consistently and repeatable profitable on 3 things: AFL (Pick...

    Multiplat Tactics style/turn based games

    These are definitely a niche genre, some people don't like the turn based style and some like myself the more controlled battles. Have played the classics like the XCOMs, Divinity OS, FF Tactics and have been looking for a new one. Have seen some good reviews for Disgaea series and see this is...
