Any chance you could knock up 26 more of these threads to coincide with our games next season?

I don’t think I’ve ever been less interested in a grand final.

90 beers in 90 minutes. Can it be done?

Might need some help from Boonie

Will be Simon Hills last A-League call. I might be chopping onions.

He’s been a tremendous servant to the game here, but I think this is the right time for him. I feel like there’s been something missing in his commentary in the last couple of years. Maybe going back to the UK will reinvigorate him as well. I wish him the best.

He nearly walked away after the whole Foxtel shmozzle.

He battled gamely, but we (Aussie fitba)'ve broken him.

Agree with both your comments. Simon has been a legend.
But he has been making commentary mistakes that he previously wouldn’t have, (mixing up players, referencing a previous game incorrectly, misquoting A-league rules).
Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s the best we’ve had and I will greatly miss his calls and analysis.

I’m very firmly in the camp of Simon Hill is a legend but it is time for him to move on, as seemingly most people above are as well.

For all we know there might also be a broadcast change as well coming up that Hill is aware of, and he can’t really be bothered going through the whole interview process as well like last time (and he was ditched last time before getting hired back).

I heard of drinking game for Bathurst a shot of beer ever y lap. 161

Maybe that would work in the GF, could get messy if there is extra time.

10 tinnies based on 120 minutes. If you can’t do that, then what’s the point.

I probably averaged 10 tinnies in 90 for most our games this season. For the good ones, anyway.

A shot is 30ml and an average can of beer 375ml. 161 laps is 12.88 cans of beer.

Seems pretty doable to me, especially as I think it will end up as being less than this with beer head as you pour.

12 cans of beer in 7 hours is child’s play

True that, you’d have to fill it in with other alcohol in between just to get a buzz

There’s no fumble kick ball being played down there.

Somewhat surprised the A-League didn’t try to host it at Docklands.
