I don't get what is happening with tripping, has the rule changed, why are players now allowed to dive at the footy and take out the opponent's legs?
Did we miss the memo?
And it appears if you tackle someone and that tackle slips down below the knees it's play on. Kosi did twice in our game against the Dees and wasn't penalised, it happened multiple times to us as a team today and that specific non-decision cost us at least 2 goals just in the last quarter.
Harry needs to raise his knee when someone is backing into the pack to intercept.
Harry is not that type of player, it's never going to happen, not him and not Weiters, certainly not Young. I have to wonder watching Young today, could some of today's decisions push him over the edge, make him a bit more aggressive?
That aggression issue is why I posed the May question in the list management thread, I think we need a player who is, I bet if he returns to the AFL he ends up at the Filth. I've overheard McRae has returned early to go and watch him play again!
As an aside, I watched the Norp players take Newman out of the contest metres off the footy multiple time today. He wasn't really in a position to contest but it's still an illegal action that normally results in a down field free kick, in one case the Norp player had his back to the contest and basically shoved Newman in the throat.
I hear that coming from the EV industry and it's investors, I don't blame them for making hay while the sun shines(sorry) but it's not likely to last without political interference.
Several WA mining operations are now converting to hydrogen fueled vehicles because it works in remote locations and can perform in ways that EV cannot, they did try EV but the recharging delays and battery degradation became an issue. When you need to go you need to go, and they go around the clock and a long long way. In some operations a 20 minute delay can cost them more than the price of the vehicle!
To me batteries remain the big issue, unfortunately a lot of the battery R&D and manufacturing has occurred in cool climate locations, places it snows and regions that think 25°C is a hot day. The most up to date research has exposed the degradation of some batteries in moderate or hot climates is 300% greater than reported in cool climates, as yet they do not know why it's unexplained, but it's confirmed by the findings in the mines. The irony for Australia is that the batteries are chock full of technology to warm them up correctly, but here the problem is cooling.
As an aside, mining has a project to convert iron ore trains to hydrogen fuel cell, I believe a prototype is already in service.
Are you worried about the amount of 91 ron required to achieve the mission ?
The boosters are solid rocket motors, the main vehicles is fueled by hydrogen and liquid oxygen with water vapour as the exhaust gas.
Hydrogen is the same technology we should really be using for transport, fast to refill, long range, conventional delivery, water vapour is the exhaust.
The progression of science i can see space x doing regarding a take of and landing. Artemis 2 is going up, orbiting the moon and coming back. We've done that before, sure they might be testing something. Not sure, I genuinely dont know the goals.
It's not quite the same as before, in that previously Collins and others in the Command Capsule orbited the moon while colleagues rode the LEM.
It's part of the schedule to establish a long term base on the moon, in which case this route will be repeated many many times as part of a re-supply delivery run. They are also testing equipment and technology designed to be used in extended missions.
Long term, they need moon bases to obtain heavy helium, Helium-3, to power future fusion reactors. Because despite the rhetoric no serious physicist or resource scientist believes renewables can deliver the energy we are going to need.
Yes, there were some dubious frees paid and some obvious ones missed.
Cut it out @Baggers, blokes do 9 good things and get crucified on the 10th by the umpires, and fans want the player strung up!
Clarkson is a dead set Clark Kent who hates our guts and even he looked embarrassed after the game, I've never seen him look sheepish in a victory over us before!
Kangabies kick 7 goals to 3/4 time... then kick 7 in the last qtr. 'nuff said.
How many of them were from dodgy frees or non-decisions?
Twice in the last a bloke has his legs taken out and isn't protected, both result in goals, another goal a player cops front on contact in a 2 on 1 and no free is paid, and the player gets a sling tackle in a one on one in full free view with no other players blocking the view and it's play on.
No sling tackle on Jagga? Just about had his neck broken!
You can't defeat that sh1zen @Kruddler, and if you don't make a scene about it you are screwed because the umpires now have the anticipation to defeat us, the same mindset that is bringing our players undone affects adjudication.
It's OK to bang on about what we do and don't do, but you can't let that rubbish slide.
We lay legal tackles and go unrewarded that result in opposition goals, they try to break tackles and fail and it's a ball up or play on, we get taken out in the contest illegally multiple times and it's play on.
Try as you may, you can't defeat the umpiring it always always wins.
They scored 3 goals this quarter from dodgy decisions, make that 4, OH was just legged without a free being awarded in D50.
