Halligan mentoring new Bulldogs kicker Martin

[ILiveForDib]

martin kicks them better than Mbye.

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

 

[The DoggFather]

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Water is wet!

Moses mostly looked stilted and too casual all at the same time

Why aren't we inviting Hazem to be kicking coach?

 

[Papa Joe]

I cant remember any kicker hit them as hard as what he does. When he hits them they take off like a rocket & don't seem to lose speed.

Has anyone had an update on his contract situation for next season. Seen as we can't buy big name players due to cap restraints, I think he ticks all the boxes for us, he just needs to tidy up his penalty count.

I'll spew if we don't re sign him & he goes on to star next year elsewhere.

 

[Oatley Dog]

Funny how we lost so many games this year by 2-4 points and we had that Mbye bloke kicking for us that used to miss a lot if you remember? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

Not that many. He's averaged 78% this year.

 

[ThePedigree]

Not that many. He's averaged 78% this year.

How many games did we lose by 2-4 points here he missed 1-2 kicks though? Riddle me that.

Hate to break the bad news to you but the answer is ZERO. All the teams that beat us scored more tries than we did or (in the case of the Broncos) the same but their kicker kicked a penalty goal whereas Mbye was 4/4. Yes, we were within 6 on a few occasions this season but not because we scored the same or more tries.

Holland is a decent goal kicker too but just no power.... his kick offs only go 35m

Plus remember he used to shank a couple early ones too lol

I think he has improved significantly since those days. Last time he kicked I think it was pretty much a perfect score.

 

[slydog]

If he keeps playing 80 min and kicks at close to 80% I'm sure other teams will offer more money than we can offord

 

[Baby Blues]

Water is wet!

But is it though?

It shit me to death seeing Holland take the kick offs instead of Martin last week.

I've seen that debate. What was the conclusion again?

Is water wet?
Question Date: 2018-01-04
Answer 1:


Being a liquid, water is not itself wet, but can make other solid materials wet.

Wetness is the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, so when we say that something is wet, we mean that the liquid is sticking to the surface of a material.

Whether an object is wet or dry depends on a balance between cohesive and adhesive forces. Cohesive forces are attractive forces within the liquid that cause the molecules in the liquid to prefer to stick together. Cohesive forces are also responsible for surface tension. If the cohesive forces are very strong, then the liquid molecules really like to stay close together and they won't spread out on the surface of an object very much. On the contrary, adhesive forces are the attractive forces between the liquid and the surface of the material. If the adhesive forces are strong, then the liquid will try and spread out onto the surface as much as possible. So how wet a surface is depends on the balance between these two forces. If the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are bigger than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid), we say the material becomes wet, and the liquid tends to spread out to maximize contact with the surface. On the other hand, if the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are smaller than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid), we say the material is dry, and the liquid tends to bead-up into a spherical drop and tries to minimize the contact with the surface.

Water actually has pretty high cohesive forces due to hydrogen bonding, and so is not as good at wetting surfaces as some liquids such as acetone or alcohols. However, water does wet certain surfaces like glass for example. Adding detergents can make water better at wetting by lowering the cohesive forces . Water resistant materials such as Gore-tex fabric is made of material that is hydrophobic (water repellent) and so the cohesive forces within the water (liquid-liquid) are much stronger than the adhesive force (liquid-solid) and water tends to bead-up on the outside of the material and you stay dry.

Answer 2:


To answer this question, we need to define the term "wet." If we define "wet" as the condition of a liquid sticking to a solid surface, such as water wetting our skin, then we cannot say that water is wet by itself, because it takes a liquid AND a solid to define the term "wet."

If we define "wet" as a sensation that we get when a liquid comes in contact with us, then yes, water is wet to us.

If we define "wet" as "made of liquid or moisture", then water is definitely wet because it is made of liquid, and in this sense, all liquids are wet because they are all made of liquids. I think that this is a case of a word being useful only in appropriate contexts.

But is it though?

In liquid stage, yes. Or when it's ice and melting lol

Actually it's wet when it is steam and condensing too.

So to answer your question, yes it is.

EDIT didn't read your previous post.

I think the answer is no.
