What amuses you

Some Blitzers are really “out there”.

Just because you’re not cool enough to hang with us.

Not sure if this is ‘amusement’ actually.
But walking by my local oval today - girls game being played
Full-time score: 179-0

I mean - have you ever heard of anything like this?
0 … not even a rushed behind.
I just could not believe it.

Depending on age level it happens a bit back home. Not uncommon in juniors in country footy

Also might be against a team that’s never played before.

Our first VFLW game of this year?

OK, that was only 98-0.

On that day we found out the AFL’s ladder code monkey sucked, as we were given a percentage of zero.

Looked like under18 girls.
Two established clubs.

Could be covid affected.

How’s this for bizarre.

Local footy last week the home team had their full squad playing against a lower team. The lower team had a stack of players out with COVID, but the league said they had to field a team, with whowever they could find.

As it was Easter Saturday, not many other leagues or clubs were playing, so they roped in players, not from their reserves or juniors or ex players, but from another higher up league.

Home team went down by less than a goal, but you have to wonder if that’s how it’s supposed to work. Nekk minnitt you’ve got teams getting covid just to wim games instead of forfeiting

In the VFLW game, Footscray was affected by COVID and had some top-ups. But at any decent level zero is very hard to defend, and they’ve continued to mostly be horrid (but not scoreless) this year.

Our percentage is <430%; we need to improve it next week in the re-match vs the Dogs.

All AFLW players can drop back to VFLW, including after the AFLW season is over. Though 10 such Pies yesterday didn’t save them!

But if VFLW players play 50% of the season they’re not allowed to go back to their community club. That’s a net loss for everyone involved.

Not sure how I feel about being used as a verb in this context.

Walked past again today - same teams, U14’s Boys probably.
Roles reversed today - Home team 0-47 at half time…

Please come to our rematch vs Footscray next week!!!

League has to approve clearances, don’t they?

Yeah I haven’t looked into it. Sounds odd, but just going off a yarn with some locals.

But it does suit that league in particular, quite corrupt, and anti my local football club.

I’m not sure what’s going on here, but…perhaps the most polite vandalism I’ve ever seen?

There is a standing joke in The Philippines about bad haircuts. People ask if the barber is still alive. Well, about 30 years ago, one guy got so upset by the teasing about his new haircut, he went back and shot the barber. Dead.

First time I went to Bangkok, young bloke on business, and I arrived mid-morning, caught a cab and asked to go to my Hotel. Driver said, that Hotel rooms were never ready until 2 pm, so how about I take you for a haircut. He said cheap price and you will be fully satisfied. I had no idea what he actually meant. I didn’t check in to the Hotel until quite late.
