i loved this movie as a kid, felt like the guerilla marketing stencils sprayed all over glenferrie station where the swinburne film school was located were levelled at me but the soundtrack (complete with diegetic vignettes from the movie) was killer

this track's primitive calculators from springvale. i organised a show at the barwon club in geelong and stuart just came down because someone wanted to hear them play. still a bit in awe of that memory

An interactive crash course on how to avoid being deceived by economists.

AFL’s tepid response to Geelong’s secret waiver neglects the true cost of concussion
By Jack Snape

The Cats’ deal with a player raised uncomfortable, existential questions. The answers are a price the game must pay to save footballers from themselves

There's still a maintained German language cemetary over in Grovedale.

I'll be trekking up to the Bareena Bowling Club in about an hour for the monthly Sleepy Hollow Blues Club afternoon. The usual jam session followed by headliners "Miss Lou's Blues (Feat. Travis Winters."

Interesting replies. I figured #Geelong had some dark history (like most places) when it came to colonisation, but I didn't realise we still used references to it in street/area names (Bell Post Hill, Boundary Road)

What is the weirdest or most interesting piece of local history you know about Geelong?

GWS Giants save their best for the best to show they are capable of a deep finals run
By Jonathan Horn

The Giants pegged back a 39-point deficit against an injury-ravaged Geelong to add another scalp to AFL wins over Fremantle, Brisbane and Melbourne

@nxskok @joannaholman This is true.

And the size of the oval at senior AFL level is not standardised, even today.

So you have something like GMHBA Stadium (aka Kardinia Park) in Geelong (170 m × 115 m), which is 35 metres narrower and 10 metres longer than the MCG (160 m x 140 m).

This has a measurable impact on games.

Sam Mitchell (Hawthorn's coach) has a tactic where he spreads out the other team's defenders by having his players deliberately kick the ball across the width of the ground.

(If you ever watch a Hawthorn game and you see the Hawks kick the ball from side to side, or you hear the commentators say they're "stretching" the ground, that's what they're talking about.)

That works a *lot* better at the MCG than at Geelong.

To make the situation worse, the AFL doesn't just use cricket ovals.

Engie Stadium, the GWS Giants home ground, is the former baseball stadium from the Sydney Olympics.

Which is why it has straight sides that converge in a nearly triangular shape at one end (you can see it in this photo): https://pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauskas/973894393236795877
