heard this take on the pod and it might genuinely be Alex’s most unhinged ever, why would they possibly be posting content for their fans about losses haha

@rodger.bsky.social just a reply to say I hope you’ll be covering the madness of the AFL Grand Final in your next all sports newsletter - the craziest ending ever. Fremantle led by 17 points with 4 minutes left, played their Wharfie Time hype song (after a week of debate about it)… and lost

The only possible AFL comparison I can think of is 2010 drawn GF for St Kilda, but even in that, they were more desperately unlucky than anything Also interesting: Brisbane winning the flag with the worst defence for a premier ever (per some advanced metrics) as AFL tweaks rules to favour attack

Proud to be representing The Mainstream Media. If I win the comp y’all have to admit momentum is real and predictive, and that some teams just know how to win

- Drinks/snacks cheaper at pharmacies than convenience stores (where you’ll inevitably end up at night before hotel for bed) - in Tokyo, Shinjuku Govt Building is a great observation deck that’s free (better than going to the more famous ones) - I love Eggs n Things for breakfast, mileage may vary

Totally get people enjoying the theme and the campiness. But it’s just so flawed conceptually. The missions are irrelevant, surely there need to be incentives for the traitors to sabotage? And the best gameplay strategy as a faithful is to be a bad faithful so you don’t get called out & voted off?

Finally watched a season of The Traitors. UK Celeb edition so not exactly a gameplay masterclass. But that show is just baffling to me; it really is people playing a basic version of Mafia badly? As an old-school Survivor fan & board game fan it should be perfect for me, but it just doesn’t work.

Great piece & rankings. I would absolutely recommend going back for Palau (fascinating descent into darkness and type of end game you never get any more) and Guatemala (awesome location, some great characters), I’d have them top 20. But I love that era & can’t watch modern advantage-packed Survivor

tbh based on how kpop fans react this would actually destroy their career

I only learned about the Broncos x Umamusume Pretty Derby crossover this week and it is why they are going to win the Super Bowl

Due to channel constraints it’s the only game they’ve been showing here for the last two hours, lol

Still quite nervous about the one-goal window you have to win today tbh

Fun fact btw, both punters in the title game have dads who are very well known in Australian football circles OSU punter’s dad is a very well known TV host/ex-team president. Notre Dame punter’s dad was a great AFL player turned recruiter. Fun little side story!

Bang on - hadn’t seen him in anything before so it was a LOT. My partner who actually watched Succession liked it a lot more.

1929 Collingwood went unbeaten in the home and away season, lost their first final and then got a rematch via the challenge rule which allowed them to win the flag

Can confirm I got fewer weird replies to here than with the same post on Twitter. Not none though!

North Melbourne is the first team in history to complete an entire top-level (AFL/AFLW) season without losing a game. #AFLWGF

Think the bigger problem than the age profile itself is the fact they’ve had so few hits in the draft outside of the guys they’ve been automatically tied to

Correct. On Twitter I can load new tweets while staying in my old spot and read them in order

gonna need Bluesky to hurry up and do the thing where I open the app and it starts where I left off. Zooming up to the top every time and having to read reverse chronological is dumb. The only good thing that happened when Twitter closed 3rd party apps was it got way better at that

Got a better experience catching up on overnight NFL content on here than on Twitter. The migration of sports accounts might make this thing an actual competitor. The vibes are so much better too
