I might want some for myself OMG--I couldn't believe they missed those first 2 penalties! I think this is somewhat unusual. I've seen a team miss one, but never 2, and in a row. I felt so bad for them. I do agree that Norway was the better team that day. The spray is Iced water with an anaesthetic in it which basically numbs the pain for around 5 minutes. Once the first penalty is missed the pressure builds so a second is more likely, once two have been missed, the pressure is relieved as your team is unlikely to recover, unless the other side has also missed. Penalties are very much about how someone can deal with expectations and pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted June 23, 2019 Author #302 Share Posted June 23, 2019 How clever. I'll have to see if we have such a thing available--might be good after 18 holes Never thought about it that way, good explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I was playing (league not afl) we only had magic water, towards the end of my career they introduced a magic spray, it was an ice spray that instantly cooled the area, I still use it on my back.

GUT2407 Posted June 23, 2019 #304 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Here’s one you can buy at Woolworths, it’s not bad, the one they use in footy is, I’m pretty sure, a prescription version that is even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted June 23, 2019 Author #305 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I don't know of anything like this but I think I've seen ads on TV about different kinds of sprays or pads you can use that can be hot or cold. I wonder if it's the same stuff. I will say when we were in Australia I needed to buy a special cream I needed for an infection. I only knew the US name for it and it wasn't available there. The people in the drug store we went to (a major one everyone down under recommends, I forget the name) showed me what they had. It turned out to be a lot better and way cheaper. I wish I had known, would have bought a few more tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted June 23, 2019 Author #306 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hmm, we have Mentholatum products here in the US but I don't recall seeing this. I will take a look the next time I am out shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 27, 2019 #308 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Swans (14th) play the Gold Coast Suns (17th) on Saturday Afternoon at 4.35pm in Sydney, they have two more wins so far this season so hopefully they can continue their winning form.

possum52 Posted June 28, 2019 #309 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Should be a win to the Swan, leading up to the big game between the Swans and Bombers the following Saturday at the MCG. After the Bombers' surprise win over GWS last night I'm quietly confident they will win. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they did, I was surprised that they were able to kick 6 goals in the last quarter considering that they had only kicked 6 for the previous 3 quarters. There was also plenty of pressure in their forward 50 on the GWS players. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of a sudden, we can watch AFL games on TV here in the US. Next is Hawks/Eagles on 6/29. Actually, I see the score posted now, so no suspense. Very close. It is so hard with the time difference.

Docker123 Posted June 29, 2019 #313 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Eagles pulling away at half time. Yay. Swans are 1/8, Gold Coast 6/1 according to the bookies. (I use a score app called Footy Live. Includes lots of other information.) Gold Coast has been radically inconsistent this year.

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 29, 2019 #319 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Swans up to 11th (possibly only temporarily due to other results this weekend) but the good news is only a couple of wins from being in the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted June 30, 2019 #320 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The young fellows shoulder (Callum not Murray) will put him out for a while and he’d been playing well, could be a big loss for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum52 Posted June 30, 2019 #322 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The injury to Callum Sinclair could be a big worry for the Swans. He has been playing well Mr GUT. But Essendon have lost their big ruckman Tom Bell-Chambers too for 6 weeks or so due to a calf injury so Sinclair's loss may not be too big an issue for next week's game but may be in future games. A few upsets this round - Magpies losing to North, Giants to Bombers and Power to Bulldogs. Makes it more interesting. Leigh Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted June 30, 2019 #325 Share Posted June 30, 2019 With Mr Gut’s beloved Blues knocking off the Dockers, the eighth position becomes far more open. Freo eighth with 28 points, equal with Port and Essendon. Four teams from 11-14th on 24. Including Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
