    Most Annoying Tropes

    What storytelling tropes annoy you the most in fiction? The most annoying one to me at the moment is when a character sees a ghost or a hallucination of another character (either dead or alive) clear as day and talk to them like they are really there. Usually the character has no mental...

    Awards Season

    Golden Globes were today, some good winners, loved seeing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood win...but did anyone see the bits from Ricky Gervais? f**k he was good. The looks on some of the hollywood hypocrites' faces when he told them to shut the f**k up about politics. Bravo.

    Salary Cap Effectiveness

    After what seems like a decade of Roosters/Storm domination I had a look back over ladder positions from the last 2 decades to see how well the salary cap is doing at what it aims to do - create an even spread of playing talent across the competition, making the comp close, competitive and fair...

    Grand Finals We Didn't Get to See

    Following on from the great club sides thread, many people bemoan the fact we never got to see a GF in the early 90s of Brisbane v Canberra. What are some other GFs (or any match-ups) that we never got to see? Many Grand Finals don't end up being the best two sides, especially in the old...

    Will we see great attacking teams dominate the comp again?

    Since Melbourne started the wrestle in the mid-2000s the comp has been dominated by teams who win by dominating the ruck or rock solid defence. Apart from a few teams (Tigers 05, Eels 09) the top teams have been primarily defence-oriented, with recent years seeing teams deliberately cheating the...

    European Club Seasons

    Hey guys I'm heading to Europe between the end of February and mid-May next year and looking to play some footy while I'm there. My plan was to head to Sweden as they used to run a 4-team comp in that time but now it seems they are down to 2 clubs. Anyone know any other comps that run in that...
