Forward passes

[Clifferd]

Well that's going to be hard to pass

You don't say. Now I'm without a ball to test this theory and the dogs had a bit of a feed of my ball

Genuine question, Not being a jerk, actually think your grasp of the maths is pretty good so I'm curious if you have the answer (which I don't)

Does your method account for the velocity of the hands moving in the opposite direction? I.e. If the hands move faster backwards than the player moves forwards it would reduce how acute the angle would need to be? Or is this not a factor that needs to be considered?

The speed of the hands will determine the speed of the ball, if you could throw a a pass fast enough then this wouldn't be an issue because the ball wouldn't have time to drift forwards with momentum.

Yeah, inertia absolutely needs to be considered. Using chip tech, I don't think it would be overly difficult to get and factor in data on existing forward velocity.

Got to say, I started two unit physics in hsc in 1985. I was a biology student two weeks later

I understand the concept, throw a football out of the back of a ute going 50. It ain't going backwards

Well not if you are Montgomery Burns.

Very true. Strange but sexy man that guy

Pfft I came 10th in my year 12 physics class.

Nevermind that our class only had 10 in it.

Haha. Smithers not so much

Who wouldn't tap that?

Benji's pass is forward under The_Shield's new system.

It's like when you throw an apple at some dumb prick out the bus window. You have to throw it like 10m early to allow for momentum of bus, otherwise you hit some other poor bastard

Drop the same apple in a passenger plane travelling at 750 kph and you don't see it travel to the back of the plane at that speed.

Just saying....

Or throw a tennis up in car at 100.

Give em cars to drive on the feild and you'll getter a better idea

Sorry, just catching up and haven't read all pages. Is this about the merge still crying over not being able to win a game with a 40% better completion rate and lopsided penalty count?

The sharks one wasn't the only one this week though.

Tom T and DWZ could both have been playing in the NRL.

Amin to that!
