Chris Fagan's next lunch with Leigh Matthews. Fagan: "I've achieved a threepeat, just like you Leigh." Leigh: "You do realize I've won four premierships as a coach!". And that's how the Lions retain Fagan. Go for a impossible task in the modern era: 5 straight GF's. Do what Leigh couldn't do.

They said at the end of the '03 AFL GF, that the Brisbane side that won '01/'02/'03, was the best of the modern era. The Threepeat Part Deux, has likely cemented the Brisbane Lions as the best AFL club this century so far. And, now only two premierships off tying the mark of Fitzroy of old.

000

Half time at the AFL GF, and all the kids in the crowd are going nuts. It's tied 6 goals, 7 behinds a piece. But I wonder what would happen if those two numbers combined... #AFLGF

That loud "Ahh f**k", you heard, came from Sydney Olympic Park. That was Peter V'landys cursing. #AFLGF #NRLGF

Yes, the Dolphins lost: but if you made the Roosters as a collective run a mile in a prelim at Suncorp in the process, it's a damn achievement. Don't squander this moment, like the Gold Coast Titans did in 2010: where it was a peak, before only making the finals twice in sixteen years.

Terry Denton and Andy Griffiths, were practically Australia's version of Quentin Blake and Roald Dahl: Terry being the illustrator, whose name was made by a significant professional relationship with a author: that being Andy Griffiths. Will be mourned in many a school library come holidays end.

NRL GF entertainment kerfuffle only make the folks at the AFL smart: because they not just secured their GF entertainment in March, but secured it before the NFL had a chance to find talent for Rams/49ers at the MCG. Tones and I, is 100% aiming for Ed Sheeran curtainraiser work in the US.

Next week's NRL prelim at Suncorp, has a seat already reserved in the sky. One reserved, for none other than Big Artie Beetson. The Dolphins finals marketing campaign says it all. Every First Led Here. Dolphins have to break the Roosters like they did on August 29, for one more first in 2026.

What Hawthorn should do after tonight's game as a team. Unwind with a dinner tonight... and tomorrow: Sam Mitchell, drum the hard justice in like Sheeds did in 1999 (when Essendon lost the 1999 prelim by a solitary point), make the entire team attend the 2026 AFL GF as spectators for motivation.

Brisbane Lions into a 4th straight AFL Grand Final... with Hawthorn fans treating the MCG like it was Lang Park in the mid-eighties, after a Blues win over the Maroons. One step to go for a threepeat of their own... much like the Voss/Leppitsch dynasty that kicked off at the G, almost 25 years ago.

Hopefully after those 16 hours of back to back Bach, he doesn't end up with a Bach-ache... but perhaps a visit from Tim Shaw to his house to present him with a Demtel Bach CD, his to keep.

Adrian Cutts @lybaskw.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

A very bold prediction. Due to the fact we have no knowledge of when FRLG compatibility with Home happens other than a generic "October 2026" date, makes me think we'll get a Pokemon Presents presentation in October, that focuses on a RSE release for Switch 1/2... that is Home ready.

Adrian Cutts @lybaskw.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

A very interesting question lies: Level-5 doing a western port of the Switch 2 remake of Yokai Watch 2. I wonder if there will be a push for a official release of the Switch remake of the original game in the West too...

Just watched the Jai Arrow interview post-game. I definitely think he’s on a far faster downturn concerning his road with MND than Neale Daniher was at this point post-diagnosis. We’ll probably hear of his passing within two years. I guarantee it.

New bus stop installed in village with no bus services

Villagers were bemused after the stop was installed nine years after their service was withdrawn.

So, #PokemonWorlds is headed to Singapore. A mere 4-8 hour flight time from anywhere in Australia: that's including the new Western Sydney International due to open later this year, and one of the more notable AU-UK stopover points (eclipsed by Emirates via Dubai and Qatar via Doha in recent years)

100

The one thing TPCi needs to prepare for: a influx of Australian visitors for Worlds next year in Singapore. 6-8hr flight, decent timezone, 4th largest market out of Changi.Airport, connected to a decent amount of Australian markets. And, that's before timezones come into account for streaming.

000

Let's hope it wasn't caused by Ed rushing to Detroit Metro Airport to catch a Delta flight to San Francisco. #PokemonWorlds

000

But the big wild card (mind the pun), was the announcement of the first feature length film based off the TCG: Pokemon: Wild Card. Biggest problem right now: how to stop scalpers from getting the film when it releases and selling it at a premium.

000

As for Winds and Waves: Why the hell is Game Freak trying to repeat the stunt they did with Legends ZA, this time for a new generation drop the starters, and very little else for twelve long months. Wouldn't be surprised if there were some in attendance in SF quietly pissed. #PokemonWorlds

000

Very interesting move to go with Singapore next year. Maybe it's the big clue concerning where Winds and Waves is being set we've been expecting. #PokemonWorlds

Adrian Cutts @lybaskw.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

@joemerrick.bsky.social: Watching the YT feed, and agree with some on chat: TPCi needs to have mods on YT tournament chat streams.

000

The one prediction I can guarantee for the #PokemonWorlds opening ceremony: Ishihara saying you’ll have to wait until Sunday for news. They want a giant Chase Center pop for every announcement made at the closing ceremony.

100% think that WWE's #WrestlepaloozaPerth announcement is designed to explicitly counter a potential announcement at All In this weekend about a AEW Melbourne debut next year. Drain the hardcore east coast fan (while alienating casuals), so they can't afford both WWE in WA and AEW next year.

110

Adrian Cutts @lybaskw.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Our opinion on #WrestlepaloozaPerth: In a cost of living crisis, the only people who will be able to afford to go to this WWE PLE are those who actually live in Perth, because they don't have to fly to Perth to go to the show.

Timings for Australia for #PokemonWorlds this weekend. -Opening Ceremony (Moscone Center): 2am AEST/Midnight AWST Saturday 29/8. -Closing Ceremony from Chase Center: 12:30pm AEST/10:30am AWST Monday 31/8.

Adrian Cutts @lybaskw.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I somehow think a regional NSW art gallery is about to get significantly higher traffic. The Western Plains Cultural Centre in Dubbo currently has on loan (until November 2027) from the NGA in Canberra a Yayoi Kusama installation.

The one thing I wish the Pokopia Bubbly Basin DLC had. Special conversations between Shellder and the Slowpoke line. I reckon a lot of us want to know what a Shellder really thinks of Slowbro (Shellder on tail) and Slowking (Shellder on head), or a Slowpoke actually talking to a Shellder.

A Worlds/XP preview stream (a first: usually it's a Pokemon Presents leading into Worlds (outside 2024) in recent years) is a very interesting move. Championship Sunday's final moments at Chase Center will likely be Presents-esque... especially in the wake of Bank closure announcement.

100

Adrian Cutts @lybaskw.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Yes, it's sad that Bank is finally getting shuttered. But this move now cuts off two key generations from Home. Both Generation 5 and 7 (and to a lesser extent: the HGSS DS Gen 2 remakes and Gen 1/2 3DS Virtual Console titles) will need a long-term solution.

100

Adrian Cutts @lybaskw.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

All I am thinking of now with this announcement, is a car somewhere with Sceptile, Swampert and Blaziken... much like they did in 2014.

And the proposal for such a square goes back further: first pitched by SCC in 1959 for a far different location than the Beberfalds Corner: one that involved demolishing the Queen Victoria Building. Heritage listing the QVB put first put the brakes on a new Sydney CBD square in the early 1970's.

I somehow think these cats tried to make their way to Brisbane to chase the CityDog-themed CityCats. Although, I'd check the boat for dead owls, small guitars, runcible spoons, honey and money wrapped in 5 pound notes first.
