Unseen for 61 years !
We have found the only surviving TV broadcast of the 1964 Grand Final.
Long thought lost, it shows Ch9's 3rd + 4th qtr telecast.
You can now watch it for the first time since Sept 19 1964.

Hi @FOXSportsAUS and @WarrenSmithFOX
Your subscribers are not happy watching Brandel Chamblee when the best players in the world are live on course at the PGA 🤷🏻♂️

@AndrewKirbyGolf Way more enjoyable than watching easier courses with soft greens, just wish DP could afford shot tracker in every tournament

@outbreezyWC Did Huddo say “we’ve seen that before” when Selwood was doing this 😂😂

@BradKlibansky I have the unedited Ch7 tape of this game. Commentators with mic still on at HT talking about how the game was done. Might be wrong but from memory this was the game Dermie cleans up Yeates, leading to his retaliation in GF

“Footy Flashback”- 🎥 👇
Round 6, 1989- Hawthorn v Geelong @ Princes Park
Geelong led Hawthorn by 49 points at 1/2 time. The Hawks would go on the kick 17.10 in the second half, including 10 goals in the last quarter to win by 8 points in an all time classic 👀 ⬇️ .
Final score:
Hawthorn 26.15.171 v Geelong 25.13.163 😱🤯
Who was there and remembers this game?

We are going to a play-off! 👀

@ads_11ruby @HawkTalkPod Haha I saw this tweet before and thought the same thing. Jordan did this a lot and rarely got any recognition

A few more thoughts on the possibility of life beyond Earth. All these thoughts are guesses. The lack of firm evidence for alien intelligence (so far) is sometimes called the Fermi Paradox, and it is a paradox. Put simply, there has been over 10 billion years and there are many millions of worlds in the Milky Way on which a civilisation could have arisen as far as we know. At first sight, one might therefore expect that there should be many civilisations in the galaxy far in advance of us, and we might have expected to see them. Why don’t we (or, let’s be careful, why is the evidence not bloody obvious!)?
One answer might be that civilisations never develop interstellar travel. I don’t see any reason why interstellar travel is impossible, and I think we’ll develop it if we survive into the 22nd century.
Related - perhaps civilisations don’t ever solve the problems posed by industrialisation and the discovery of nuclear weapons and never make it to the stars. Topical - see Oppenheimer!Maybe just ‘getting along’ as a global civilisation is harder than science.
Maybe (see UFO hearings) they are here but we haven’t discovered them or somebody knows but has managed to keep it a secret? Maybe. But if this is the case then at least I can say that the alien civilisations aren’t making their presence very obvious, otherwise my Astronomy colleagues who spend their time gazing at the sky and listening for signals would surely have spotted them! But let’s not rule out the possibility that we just haven’t detected them (or there is evidence but only a few people know about it) but they are indeed here.
My guess is that the average number of civilisations in a typical galaxy is low - perhaps less than 1. That’s a guess, based on what we know about the evolution of complex life on Earth. Put simply, it took the best part of 4 billion years here to go from cell to civilisation, and that’s a third of the age of the Universe. I think this MAY imply that, if this is typical (lots of ifs) then the Milky Way may be filled with microbes but not complex living things at our level of intelligence. This would be my guess.
BUT make no mistake, I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised if a UFO landed in Oldham town centre tomorrow morning and the captain said ‘Take me to the leader of Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council’. In that case the Fermi Paradox would no longer be a paradox, I’d have learnt a lot about biology and I could get back to tweeting about other interesting stuff. I’d also ask them why gravity is so weak relative to the other forces of Nature.

@simonbiddle @SFKband I really belted this one out Simon, it felt good, I let some emotions fly. Always nice to sing in a SFK choir.

Every time I see @SFKband I desperately wish they play Truly. Gutted missed this gig.
