Blu Ray version 2019 AFL Grand Final out now
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
I'm pretty good with technology but, since the DVD (and combined VHS
) player still works, I really can't see the point of Blu-Ray. We have a smart TV and sometimes I watch HD versions of channels and can barely see the difference.Then again, as I sit here typing this, I am listening to a record through my valve amp (Ali Farka Toure if you want to know) and I love the sound of records and valves.
To be honest the constant updating of technology just seems to add unreliability to the whole equation. At my work the computers and systems are so much slower than they were 10 years ago it is just not funny. They also take up masses of screen real estate to the extent I now have 3 screens and can still be waiting for something to happen on each of the screens. I'm quite happy to stay with the older technology and just hope I can still play it in 10 years time. Technology is infuriatingly unreliable and I just want something which works, not impressed by most of the so called advances they try to sell us.
Someone earlier asked about radio calls on the DVD, the 2017 GF DVD had a few so I'm hoping the 2019 will when the Victory Pack comes out as that's the one I'll get. Have a few already thanks to someone linking them here, but don't have 3AW. Also I like the ABC radio so I have that one - I just play it on a tablet while watching the DVD with the sound down. Haven't listened to the KRock call yet, worth listening to?

Ali - ‘the river’ when driving through a heat and dust shimmering Arnhem Land. Great album.I'm pretty good with technology but, since the DVD (and combined VHS

Using dedicated GPS because on a budget and chose the cheapest monthly mobile plan, ($30), I can get which only has 200MB of data and using my phone as a GPS would chew up my data in no time right? That I am asking this questions shows how little i know.

200mb of data? Thats 1 email isnt it?
I prepay with kogan at $180 per year for 3g a month.
Have a look into that mate.
Try Aldi mobile.
$15 a month , no contract using Telstra network. 3G of data .
I'm on $25 pack, 18G of data with rollover of unused data .

Here's a still from the 2017 GF, DVD on the left, Blu-Ray on the right (click to enlarge).
The Blu-Ray image has substantially greater clarity. Look at the chalk line behind the umpire for example.
Some will still say they can't see much difference, or that the difference isn't worth worrying about. Fair enough.

Blu Ray vs DVD is chalk and cheese, blu Ray every day of the week.
I used to do the same. Wanted the cheapest deal I could find because I simply had so little use for mobile data. What I got was 300 MB per month for 6 dollars. Eventually found that wasn't enough so now I am on 1 GB for 10 dollars.
Note also with Google Maps you can pre-download your maps while you're on wifi. So what I do is keep about 100 km radius of where I live downloaded. Google Maps will then only need to use data for traffic conditions etc. If you can do without that, you could switch mobile data off while you're driving and it will still work and won't use any data at all.

I can see the difference, but I'm looking at a computer not far from my face as opposed to a TV across the other side of the room.
I'm sure Blu Ray is better resolution but, yeah, don't think I'm worried about it.
Fastin Bulbous, yep like the River, not sure you can get it on vinyl though, this one is self titled as far as I can tell.

In fairness to the club, there might be more to it than that.
I have a mate who owns a small winery. He sells from the cellar door, but also to local pubs and bottle shops. If he sells his wine from the cellar door cheaper than the bottle shops, then they will not stock his wine. So he basically has to sell it from his cellar door at a price that makes him the most expensive place to buy it from.
FWIW, the club is cheaper on this DVD than Sanity by 4 cents and $5 cheaper for the victory pack.
Yep, compare Cornes dribble to what Daisy Pearce said at the start of the second qtr.
"{Davis} looks a bit proppy. He has got the job on Jack Riewoldt and I think the only reason it hasn't really hurt them is because the fluency just hasn't been in there in Richmond's ball movement yet."
Both watching the same game, whose call would you rate more?
That is just amazing.
Daisy makes about four or five different points in that comment and every one of them was 100% on the money.
Cornes on the other hand comes out of it like a goose.
But even I don't think he's that stupid.
Clearly alot of the experts are just following the narrative that they think is expected of them by certain elements within the AFL and the media hierarchy.
Don't know why they do it because ultimately they will be shown up by those that just speak their mind and are correct.
I sorta agree in that they were following a narrative of what they HOPED was gunna happen ie a GWS win.
People are giving him too much credit saying "He's wrong on purpose to elicit a response." The people employing him might do so to elicit a response. He's wrong because he's an idiot.
I’m going out on limb here. But I rate Daisy, reckon she’s one of the best going around.
