Friday Night AFL Open Thread

Some great games are on tap today.  The action starts at 7:45 PM Pacific with the Adelaide Derby, or Showdown as they call it in Australia.  A short time later(8:10 PM), Essendon will take on Melbourne at the MCG in what will be one of their best chances at a win this year.  After those games finish, the Brisbane Lions host the North Melbourne Kangaroos.  Game starts at 10:35 PM Pacific.  The two late games are St. Kilda vs Western (1:25 AM start) and Fremantle vs Gold Coast (1:40 AM start).

To get you properly started, here are a couple of preview videos.  The first is a gambling (!) preview directly from the AFL website.

The second is a funny preview show hosted at a bar with REAL beer.

Seriously, the AFL is run SO much better than the NFL.  No way in hell we see anything like those two videos here in the States.  Enjoy the footy!

(Writer’s note: if anyone knows how to embed these videos, I would greatly appreciate some assistance!  Thanks!)

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Hey, WCS. How did The Big Short end this time?

Unsurprised

The Running Man is such a great movie.

The Simpsons turned into Moonbeam City so gradually, I hardly even noticed.

Here I am, halfway through The Big Short again, and all I want to do is either get more drunk, retch, both, or maybe throw the dog through the window.

I don’t know if it was Nitzsche, Marx, Engles, Adam Smith, Dr. Hanham (my MA chair), a combination of my drunken/pilled up imagination, none, or even myself. Greed always wins out. All of the seven deadly sins, six of them still have to kick upstairs to greed. Also, unless Vito or Michael Corleone said the latter, I did first. I’m trademarking it now, so pay up.

Ain’t life a bitch?

I love Irina Shayk. What a combination of genes: Russian and Caucasus Muslim.

I prefer her when she doesn’t smile. She’d made a great Bond villain.

JSD, if you want stable you can always just give up like I did.

Oh yeah

Doing something I can’t remember I’ve done in at least a decade: rewatching the same movie back-to-back, The Big Short. I was in grad school, studying economic development when the economy went to piss. Witnessing it as a student, while every prof I had had been warning us, for years, this shit was on the way, and then seeing it all unfold changed my life. Seeing that people in the banking industry not only knew about, but, banked on it just reaffirms humanity is too sick to live.

Unsurprised

I know that if I watch it, I’ll have a stroke. I nearly did watching Wolf of Wall Street, and Jordan Belfort was far less of a piece of shit than these fuckers.

JustStopDude

You cats that are married and have stable lives….I have to say I am jealous.

Seriously…Just got done fucking around with a bird…and I think I threw out my back again. I would kill for a lass that just deals with my shit…day in and day out…and limited drama….

Now I can’t find the source of that other gif, but it is from a movie where everyone turns into vampires ~horror/comedy. I know that doesn’t narrow it down too much.

Cindy Morgan gifs? Midnight Hour

Eliza Dushku gifs? Soul Survivor

The other one you asked about.

Unsurprised

Moose started it by posting photos of her from a horror movie.

I admit it….

Just turned on the Norths v the Lions after a 15 hour day. Its vodka time,

WCS

Slow night ’round these parts (except for Moose, naturally).

Luke Wilson plays a priest in this movie. Holy cow.

Unsurprised

Remarkable how she’s gotten away with only showing off her boobs once or twice for fleeting moments.

Unsurprised

GIS isn’t helping me out a bit tonight.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Let me look.

This is from The Midnight Hour. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089593/

Unsurprised

Aha. She was the hot blonde who didn’t wear a bra in Caddyshack. I knew she looked familiar.

Senor Weaselo

One home streak is down, I repeat, one home streak down!

Unsurprised

Fembots have come a long way.

Do they still have machine gun jubblies? I’m pretty sure that’s the important part.

Unsurprised

Those are so 20th century. They have microwave emitters now.

Croooow

Who would’ve thought a team from the other side of the country would come in and beat Golden State on home court?
As cool as 73+ would be, I think the Warriors should consider resting for the playoffs. Championship should be the ultimate goal.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I don’t watch much NBA these days: how do you do that and keep your top players confident and sharp?

Unsurprised

Remind them it worked for the Lakers

I just think it’s possible they’re wearing down just a bit from the grind that is an 82 game season. They’re still a phenomenal team and they’ll bounce back.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That is a shit load of time to keep that intensity.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Fine, I’ll admit it: I like that movie.

Senor Weaselo

10.2, 1-point game.

Unsurprised

Who’s she?

No results

Senor Weaselo

And then Green loses the ball. Warriors have to foul.

WCS

I think my cholesterol level just rose 35 points looking at that.

I don’t think water slides have that affect….. however the association HAS NOT BEEN STUDIED!
