So far we have myself, Drew, Spanky, Nick, Lell, Lisa, Samarah, Timmy & I think I mayhave convinced Mary in my drunken state Friday night. Oh, and of course you Mr Maka.

Del, you're welcome to jump on board as well.

Geelong will take out the flag.

To win by 100 points in the finals, against the Kangaroos who are a good side, that has definitely put them in the Grand Final for me, and the way they are playing and from what I saw from the other teams on the weekend they are in the best shape and should have no trouble winning the flag.

:thumbs-up:

Not that the finals mean much to me this year seeing my team didn't make it in :icon_sad: anybody have any word on who is most likely to be Essendons next coach?

Franklin looked alright.....

It was particularly nice of Neil Craig to put the Crows worst defender on him - then leave him there the entire game even though he was getting thrashed.

Worst coaching decision ever!!!!

Between a very average coach & a selfish captain the Crows never stood a chance. Their elderly list didnt help the cause either.

disagree

Most the goals he kicked, were pretty tough. I woulda had Bock on him in the 50, and Massie outside that, which, is where he kicked the goals from

hasnt there been issues in the past with Neil craig not being able to make vital moves and changes quickly in the coaching box?


does anyone think his job could be in danger? i reckon they will give him another year, but i can imagine there will be some crows supporters out there wanting blood..

disagree that the roos are a good side, how they got to where they did is beyond me.

I think it'll be a power / geelong final though, port might just be able to do it too...

the roos are a good side. geelong are just unbelievable at the moment

the cats played at least twice as good as every other side on the weekend. probably more.

the crows played like they had done all year. not good enough. and they got what they deserved.

port looked alright, but they only just won at home to west coast (who have been pretty shit for a number of weeks now). they themselves didn't play very well, and only won when west coast's injuries started to take effect.

collingwood looked great saturday night to be honest.

if geelong don't win the flag, then i'll be a very surprised man. they are twice the side of teams like port/collingwood/ hawthorn and west coast and more for the rest.

i reckon it will definitely be a port v geelong g/f, but i reckon the cats will smash them.

i dunno i dont rate the roos at all. they have a few stars they rely on too much (grant, harvey, simpson) you shut a couple of them down and they're screwed.

however they have done really well this year to get where they are now but there weak list is gonna get exposed again this week again against a fast running hawks outfit.

I've been looking forward to going to the prelim ever since Port beat West Coast but I just saw that tickets range from $62 for the worst seats through to $93 for the best ones.

I really want to go but for a game thats the same weekend as Parklife I'm not quite so sure now.

Thats a lot of coin for a game of footy.

fuck the collingwood and west coast game was scrapy as hell but what a finish. Dont think ive ever seen an AFL game go to extra time for a result. The players were fucked by the end of the game. Collingwood scraped through agaisnt the eagles without 3 match winners in the team. They will have to improve about 150% if they are going to get near geelong. I hope they can get up and be competative after the effort they had to put in for the win last night. As much as is pains me to say the cats look to be in a leauge of their own.

Interesting game tonight im hoping the hawks get up purely because of the hoodoo the kangaroos seem to hold over port.

Yeah thats what im hoping too. The kangaroo's wont drop this one easily though, after the thumping geelong gave em last week. I just hope the hawks will be too fit and too fast for them. Should be a good game though

Happy with the result tonight. Would much rather play the Roos than the hawks.

How shit were the Hawks tonight. Really, really average with no real winners on the ground. Franklin may be capable of some big things but he is way to inconsistent to be considered a champion just yet. Looks like Crawford won't be playing the first couple of games next year as well.

i think we've beaten the roos the last few times we played them. i reckon after a week off and no little niggles port will have too many runners for them. hopefully rawlings gets sited for smacking hodge in the face too. i havent been confident in them all year but im feeling pretty good about this one.

Interersting to read that Carloine Wilson has said Chris Judd will be Carltons Captain next year. Now, i cant stand her, but she is often spot on with her "sources". As long as it doesnt involve trading pick 1, that'd be pretty much one of the greatest things ever to happen to me.

The thing is that so many people (yourself included Subbo) big him up and go on about how good he is, it's only natural that when he doesn't fire that he gets labelled as having a shit game.

Anyone with half a football brain knows that with youth comes inconsistency.

He'll be a marquee player in years to come, but in the meantime - let us enjoy cutting down the tall poppy.

A Midfield Of Judd, Stevens,Murphy and Gibbs is a beautiful, beautiful thing


we cant lose from the position we are in.If judd picks us, its either take what we offer or West Coast have to let him walk for nothin ala Nick Stevens.Greg Swann has said the Number 1 pick is not for sale. So either we get pick 1 and 3 or 1 and Judd and lose say a player and pick 20 on top of that

Apparently Its down to the Pies and Us

As much as I hate the idea, I reckon Collingwood are going to get Judd.

Nothing against Carlton, but I reckon the pies have a lot more to offer. Especially for a player used to playing well into September.

agree with more to offer judd in a sense. I know he's big on facilities and the Lexus centre is the best(ours is being built in 2 years) and yer finals aint somethin weve played much lately but we have a young list thats on its way

however

Weve got more room in the salary cap, the 5 richest man in australia runnin the joint and a lot more to offer the Eagles. And u think the eagles will wanna deal with the pies after theyve just knocked em out the finals? I reckon judd will pick a couple clubs, tell the Eagles who will then decide "yes, we will work with them" THEN we'll get the Chris Judd announcement of where he wants to go

he may end up in the draft yet if they cant work out a deal, would the blues use their no.1 pick? or will he be off to tiger land?

as if you'd offer a 30 year old a three year deal when he's only been back a year after surgery though.

i reckon he's being a prick considering the crows did the right thing by him while he was injured.

don't care that much though, i kinda wanted him to get the arse anyway. he just doesn't win a tap.

sorry, i thought he was 30.

looks like the crows are going to get a pretty good deal out of all of that anyway. i'd happily trade a 29 year old with a shoddy knee for a 20 year old with a heap of promise.

he was pretty average this year. del always goes on about how he was no1 in hard ball gets at the crows this year. that's because he's useless and can't win a tap. fucking hits the ground most of the time and he has to try and fix his shit rucking.

Arrogant Power worthy of our boos

   

Patrick Smith | September 24, 2007

SPRING will finish off what the winter threw up. Geelong and Port Adelaide, first and second after the regulation 22 rounds, will play off for the premiership in Saturday's grand final. You ought to barrack for Geelong. It would be a cheer for sportsmanship.

Port Adelaide outclassed the Kangaroos in football terms only in their preliminary final on Saturday. The manner of Port's victory was arrogant and contemptible. Captain Warren Tredrea hooked a clever goal in the third quarter then stopped and bowed to the Port fans. It was inappropriate and a sign of disrespect for Port's opposition, but it represented the mood of his team and his audience.

Chad Cornes would later do a goose-stepping jig to celebrate a simple goal. It lacked grace, but it was more over-exuberance than disdain for the beaten Roos.

Nonetheless, it ignited the drooling crowd who lurched into a Mexican wave. It is believed coach Mark Williams admonished both players, but it was Williams who grabbed his tie and dragged it up like a noose in a boorish gesture after the 2004 grand final win.

Tredrea would say later that he had been a dill by bowing, but sportsmanship is an instinctive quality. It is knowing how to act and what to say when the contest is at its hottest, not when you have caught your breath and cooled down with a drink.

If you have not been born and bred a Port Adelaide fan, then you could do worse than support Geelong on Saturday. For all its business trappings, football remains a sport and should be played in that manner.

Competing ruthlessly does not mean playing without dignity. The fact that Port players helped form a guard of honour for the retired Glenn Archer was a genuine gesture but also reinforced their earlier conceit.

Port's victory has assured the AFL will get a competitive final. The premiership is suddenly no gimme. Port displayed a convincing mix of speed, skill and experience against the Roos. Balance that against Geelong's erratic performance against Collingwood on Friday night, and it suggests the Cats' first premiership since 1963 will be hard-earned.

Given that Geelong considers all its players will get over the little niggles from the five-point win over Collingwood, the only problem for the Cats is the position of second ruck. Mark Blake had four disposals against a ruck opposition that had been devastated by his team-mate Brad Ottens. Every time Blake replaced Ottens it seemed to coincide with a Collingwood charge.

While Geelong committed to Blake towards the end of the season, it might still be that Steven King is a better, more experienced option. The former captain was critical to Geelong's success in yesterday's VFL final against Coburg.

Collingwood was both clever and relentless against Geelong. Mick Malthouse gave the players a plan to deprive Geelong of the corridor and they were relentless in their zeal to implement it.

The Cats were forced wide and the ball carriers had little peace because of the intensity of Collingwood's tackling.

Magpies president Eddie McGuire will no doubt wonder what his side could achieve if Chris Judd joined the Pies' midfield. As they stand now, they are less than a kick from a grand final.

Port will provide two vastly different story lines in grand final week. David Rodan was released by Richmond at the end of last season and picked up by Port with the last pick of the draft. He will play in a grand final, and the side that gave him away won just three games for the year.

The career of Michael Wilson, 30, has been hobbled twice by knee reconstructions. On Saturday he shredded his achilles. He is a patched-up man as it is and he might now retire. His strength and his defensive skills would have been invaluable against Geelong. His story is a sad one.

The Kangaroos have played in four finals under Dean Laidley. Three times they have been slaughtered. They lost to Port by 87 points in 2005 and this series lost to Geelong by 106 points and Port by 87 points again. The one win was against Hawthorn - by 33 points - in this season's semis.

Rather than discredit the coach, it underlines his ability. Laidley has lifted a very ordinary list of players to an elite level. Because they have few very good players, it is a level that the Kangaroos find impossible to compete at with any authority. The Hawthorn win says as much about the Hawks' immaturity and lack of versatility as it does the depth of talent at Arden Street.

Laidley is yet to re-sign with the Kangaroos. It should be a formality for both coach and club. But the club will forever struggle when it is not enough just to be grim and aggressive.

The Kangaroos need an injection of talent. For the moment, it is an ordinary team in an elite four weeks of the season.

Friday night's preliminary final at the MCG was played before 98,002 people. It was regarded as one of the very finest finals and unlikely to be matched by the grand final. After Port's performance on Saturday that might not be the case. Far from it. Just don't barrack for Port.

Still - why Port have aren't allowed to be conceited when they are literally destroying an opponent is honestly beyond me.

They never seemed to mind when Akka would do a handstand, or when Melbourne players do any of their celebrations to the crowd after a big goal.

FFS - It was a home game with 95% Port supporters there. Tredders was hardly throwng it in the face of the opposition, he was acknowledging our supporters and celebrating what was by then a massive win and a place in the GF. Anyway, if a team isn't anywhere near a standard to be playing a prelim, and then didn't show any heart or committment when they got there..... well, fuck them. They deserved to be ridiculed and every moment of the thrashing needed to be rubbed in their face.

Conceited - Maybe

who do we like for the brownlow tonight chaps?

GAblett for me. This stuff about people stealin votes off him is a myth. Look at the recent winners. Goodes, Judd(Kerr came 2nd that year) etc. All from top teams

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Tredders or Cornes did anything too over the top...

BUT you used Acker as an example...90% of people think Acker is a wanker for doing what he does. As long as Tredders and Cornes dont start doing it all the time they'll be right. That said, Cornes does a bit of it, and I think he's a fucking knob jockey.

The true favourite for the brownlow imo has to be Perrie.

Umpires seem to notice guys who stand out - they always gets the votes. What stands out more than a dogy glove and spectacular fuck ups - his mistakes are generally the highlight of every crows game.

Don't count out the power of the sympathy vote.

When was the last the Melbourne media made his handstand the focus of their coverage of such a dominant game.

There was so much to offer praise about in Ports supporters but what do the media focus on - a single move by Tredrea when his team had the game well & truly won and something which I have no doubt every Power fan at the game would have loved. Any teams supporters are as important to the club as their players. Nothing wrong including them in the victory or showing them are hyped you, as player is about how the game going.

If they write about anything, write about how the Roo's played with such a poor attitude and lack of conpetitive spirit that they pretty much disrespective every thing their footy club stands for.

All i know is those fucking Victorians won't have their beloved trophy back in their hands for at least another yet yet.

When was the last time he actually played in a dominant game?

I think you missed my point, I didn't think either of them did anything wrong - but if it becomes a regular thing then they will be judged by it. Chad has already done it a few times...and no one likes arrogance in their sports stars (Carey, Acker, Buckley) unless of course you support them yourselves.

So just to reiterate, because I know you still haven't slept:

Tredders: OK by me
Cornes: Didn't really think it was over the top but he is a serial offender and I think he is a cock gobbler for the way he handles himself (both on the field and in the media, he's his fathers son...good at what he does, but just has an up himself attitude)

 Yup well that wasn't very pleasant.

 Can't really say too much, Cats way too good, Port were terrible.

 Was still a great year by Port and almost every player on the list will improve next season. You can bet that once the hurt wears off they will have something to spur their pre-seaon on with

 Thought the umpires were really terrible against us for the small amount of time the game was a contest, 4 or 5 too high decisions where the Geelong player ducked into and made the tackle go high. But it didn't really affect the result in the end. Can't blame the umps for a 20 goal loss.

I don't particularly dislike the Power, but when they have supporters like Noddy talking them up 24/7 I can't help but hang a bit of shit on them.

As a neutral supporter yesterday the comment I could make was that they just weren't desperate enough, and didn't take their early (1st quarter) chances. The movement and delivery into what was a forward line set up that probably wouldn't have worked anyway was another MAJOR problem.

The Cats were just too good and shut them down.

Congratulations Geelong!

 These are all number 3 draft picks from the last decade. Judd was number 3 also but I think that is considered the super draft or something.

I dont believe Judd is worth 3 picks - definitely not worth two 1st round picks.

Considering he'll also want 1/4 (if not more) of the entire teams salary cap as well.

Also, even with Judd I can't see Carlton making the top 8 next year either. They will improve but as a whole they still have a fair bunch of below average AFL players in their list.

i disagree. but then again, i don't really care.

i'd be happy to take josh kennedy. he's a decent young player. certainly not an unknown IMO.

3 picks and him though is way too much to ask i reckon. who's to say that judd will ever get back to how he was...

a random player? There is a football world outside of Pt Adelaide believe it or not.Check out afl.com, itll blow your mind. Josh Kennedy is a 6ft 6 100kg centre half forward taken with pick 3, 2 years ago. He will be very good, but like all big, young kids, will take time to develop.

No way in hell they are gettin pick 1 and 3. Its not like we chased Judd, he left. That immediately puts the eagles on the back foot. Id give up pick 1 if thats what it takes, but i dont think it will. Perfect scenario, he goes in THE PSD and prices himself out of richmonds range. Picks 1, 3, 20 and Judd, would make for a handy summer:)

And who ever said Judd will be playin 10 years of mediocre, final-less football clearly doesnt watch enough of it to comment. Ray Charles could even see we've got some very special kids and the future is bright

TWO Adelaide Crows footballers have been caught out posting hand-drawn pornographic pictures on a website accessible to children.

The Adelaide Football Club ordered the crude images to be removed, condemned the players involved and yesterday issued an apology.
The offending pictures were displayed on ruckman Ivan Maric's Facebook homepage.
One – sent by fellow ruckman John Meesen – depicted a female performing a sex act on a man, while the other image, posted by defender Andrew McIntyre, was of a penis with arms.
The pictures sparked outrage from politicians and Young Media Australia.
It is the latest in a string of off-field embarrassments that have plagued the club this year, including a betting scandal, players breaking curfew and last month's alleged assault of a female outside a city nightclub.
The Adelaide Football Club emphasised yesterday the players were unaware Maric's homepage could be accessed by anyone registered with the publicly accessible Facebook website.
"The boys thought their homepages were available to only their friends and were taken aback (to realise they were available to the public)," Crows commercial operations general manager Phil Harper said yesterday.
"I showed the images to (Football Operations general manager) John Reid and the boys concerned, Ivan Maric and John Meesen, were spoken to and we will speak to Andrew McIntyre after the SANFL Grand Final (in which he plays for North Adelaide today)."
"What was drawn was inappropriate, in poor taste and immature and we apologise to anyone who has been offended by them."
The club ensured the images were withdrawn from Maric's homepage and it had since been blocked to public access, Mr Harper said.
"The club is disappointed in the players' behaviour," Mr Harper said, adding that they would face fines or match suspensions if involved in any similar incidents in the future.
Young Media Australia acting chairwoman Lynne Rutherford said she was shocked such images were posted on a website popular with young people.
"This issue is about the fact the images were accessible to young people, including Crows fans who would naturally seek out the home pages of their heroes," Ms Rutherford said.
Family First MP Dennis Hood and Australian Democrats MP Sandra Kanck said it was inevitable these images had been seen by youngsters, give they were on Maric's homepage during the week which coincided with the start of school holidays.
"This site is popular with youngsters and I'm sure some boys and girls would have stumbled on this home page," Ms Kanck said.
Mr Hood, a Crows fan, said: "It's only natural for young fans to look up their heroes on a website like this and it would be likely this would have happened."

Mattner to Syd is an interesting one. I like him, fuck knows how he was not gettin games at Adelaide. Think he'll slip into Sydney's defence very nicely

RIP Cris Mainwaring. He owned the wing there in his AA years.

Adelaide on the other hand. Seems to be plenty of players departing that club but not a lot coming in return.

Richmonds Manager as leaving trade week today

Richmond's director of football Greg Miller has cast doubts on his club's ability to attain Brownlow Medallist Chris Judd and has revealed the Tigers are "just keeping Carlton honest" by lingering as a dark horse to claim him.

"No, very doubtful," Miller said when asked about the possibility of the Tigers snaring Judd. "We don’t think that's going to happen.

"Our indications are that Carlton are down the track ther

Carlton to pay Chris Judd $6,000,000 for 5 years.

I reckon they'll struggle to hold onto some of their young stars in a couple of years once they start demanding more money.

Personally I'm shattered the crows lost Perrie. He was the best thing to ever happen to that club, a true champion of the sport. If the crows are mess, it's because they lack someone of the caliber of Perrie.

Crows manage to pick up one decent player during trade week, but Symes is a running back flanker. The one thing the crows have is decent players in that position.

You would think they would try and chase a forward of some description.

Stuart Dew did end up at the Hawks.

Stoked that Port picked up Matthew Westhoff. Everyone at the Tanunda footy club rate him as a better player than his brother. Only time will tell.

Also very relieved the Crows didnt get Ebert. Shame he went to West Coast but its still better than seeing that surname in a Crows jumper.

Some rookie player from Collingwood got caught drink driving on the weekend.

Apparently he went to move his car so he wouldn't get a parking ticket, went around the block and got pulled over and breath tested and was twice the legal limit.

Cost his club $1.5 Million in sponsorship, cost him a $5000 club fine plus whatever the drinking offense will cost, and he's been forced to give up alcohol.

I kind of like it though. You can't just load up on stacks of superstars. You can't choose as many so you need to be more careful with them. And it now means you need to put more thought into the $150-$250K type players.

And all the good 150-250 players from last year, even those that weren't even that consistant are all in the mid 300's now.

I'm getting happier with my team after chopping and changing a few times but there are still a lot of gaps I just don't have the money to fill with anyone decent. Last year there was enough money for a good playing list and a few decent reserves. My reserves are all absolute rubbish this year - pretty much all unproven youngsters.

Mixed feelings. All the talent in a world but he just doesn't get it. I don't think he's a fkn wanker at all, just a dumbass. He's on his last chance now apparently so we'll see

Fkn glad he's playing this week tbh

Every time you see a video of one of his many indiscretions he is always pushing people around like a big man. He's a wanker, face it Tongue (most footy players are haha). This has no bearing on his ability as a player what so ever though, you know I think he's got skills.

I don't know, perhaps he's just one of those people that turns into a complete douche as soon as you add alcohol to the equation.

I think most ex players have trouble being objective and call the game like a player instead of a commentator.

What a round of footy though. Some great games (bulldogs/crows) probably the highlight for me.

Stewart Dew OUT

I considered it but figured it would be smarter to wait another week and enjoy the hopefully extra $30-40K he'll be worth once they adjust prices.

I was in the unfortunate position of having neither of my emergencies playing and some useless prick in the pocket not getting a run either. Research while unlimited trades was still happening may have come in handy.

 Fuckin Chris McDermott. Is he the biggest wanker columnist in sport right now?

 Two recent examples : Claimed the 1st round Power V Geelong match was over at half time.

 Well, easy to say that in hindsight but the power were realistically a shot at winning with a few minutes to go.

 Now he is saying, after Round 2 that Bock is the All Australian Centre half back. Bock is playing well for sure but STFU McDermott.

 Pretty much every time he writes anything now I want to rip my eyes out.

Nothing at all wrong with the tackle Thomas laid. Will be thrown out before even going to the tribunal.

He was committed to the tackle and couldn't change anything about it. 3 years ago it wouldn't even of been a free kick.

Was lovely to see Basset on the stretcher though. Weak cunt.

 The worst part of that was somehow it ended up with Vince taking a set shot from 30m out?

 WTF. It happened between  the Powers 50m line and the square, right near the boundary.

 He will probably get rubbed out for that too cos the AFL are hot on the spear tackle thing. Had Bassett not have been knocked out it's play on. Since when do the rules change because someone gets injured?

Heaps of frees in that game were soft as after Basset got stretchered off. How funny was it when Thomas knocked out Basset and then gave him a shove in the back as he got up. Only in the AFL or ice hockey do you get to witness that in action! (With the exception of a Mike Tyson boxing match, of course)

Be pretty rough getting 3 weeks for that. He didn't need to dump him as hard as he did, but it's a showdown, it happens. Still, they do harp on about duty of care these days so I suppose pinning a guys arms and letting him break the fall of a really hard tackle with his head is a little reckless. I was just disappointed Matt Thomas never had the ball around Scott Thompson icon_cry

Also, as someone else said, Port are shit, they shoulda shat it in yesterday after all the injuries.

Big ups to some common sense in the AFL for once.

Quote
THE AFL Match Review Panel has thrown out the match-day report on Port Adelaide's Matt Thomas, as well as clearing several other hard Showdown clashes after giving the matters lengthy consideration.

The Panel normally releases its review of the previous round of matches by 4pm on a Monday but took until after 7pm tonight to make rulings on a plethora of incidents in Rivalry Round.

Thomas had been reported for engaging in rough conduct against Adelaide's Nathan Bassett after driving his head into the turf in a tackle. The panel said that Thomas tackled Bassett as he kicked the ball. Thomas went to his knees in order to take Bassett to the ground and the momentum of both players forced Bassett forward.

Thomas had both of Bassett's arms pinned, so the Adelaide player was unable to brace his fall and Bassett's head hit the ground. Thomas' tackle was considered to be a single motion, rather than a tackle and then a sling to the ground. It was considered to be different from the examples highlighted to clubs in the 2007 AFL Tribunal DVD, which was seen as two different motions within the tackle.

Therefore, the action was considered not unreasonable in the circumstances and therefore not reportable. No further action was taken.

Port Adelaide ruckman Dean Brogan also attracted the attention of the panel but was cleared of any wrong doing. The panel ruled that contact between Brogan and Adelaide's Luke Jericho from the second quarter of Sunday's match was fair.

"It was the view of the panel that the ball is handpassed to Jericho, but goes over his head. Jericho turns to chase the ball and, at the same time, Brogan runs in from the opposite direction with his eyes on the ball. One to two steps from contact, Brogan's eyes leave the ball as it is now out of his reach. Brogan's chest and the front part of his shoulder make contact with Jericho's chest and shoulder region. Brogan does not turn side-on to bump Jericho. Contact was considered unavoidable and not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was required," the panel said in a statement.

 It also viewed contact between Port Adelaide's Michael Pettigrew and Adelaide's Scott Thompson from the fourth quarter of Sunday's match.

"Thompson backs back to contest a mark, while Pettigrew runs in from behind and to the side with his eyes on the ball. Pettigrew jumps to make a contest, but realises he is too late to do so, and turns to protect himself, making the bulk of contact to Thompson's shoulder and left side. Although contact was slightly late, it was not considered a reportable offence and no further action was taken," it said.

Lol @ saying Brogan had his eyes on the ball. Not saying I think he should have been suspended, but he was never going to make too much of an attempt to grab the ball unless it fell directly into his hands. Free kick at the most and I don't think it even got that.

ha agreed. No way was Brogan looking at the ball

and Josh I've said from the getgo, we'd finish around 12th-that next year would be our improvement year.Sure, i've had many a Judd mast(geez he looked good last week), but I'm a realist

How must Staker be feeling considering he just got knocked out and not one player (except a piss weak effort by Hunter) even bothered to get involved or have a go at Barry.

Says a lot about the mental state of that team when not one of them stood up & got involved.

Scary isn't it, I foresee pain, misery and heavy facial reconstruction on the cards.

A boxing promoter was trying to get Barry Hall to fight Willie Mason from the NRL. When Willie heard about the idea he was quoted as saying "Barry Hall, are you serious? He'd punch the living piss out of me!".

Absolutely classic game between Collingwood & North Melbourne. You just have to admire the old shinboner spirit. They have a way even though they don't ever seem to have the greatest list to just fight out these impossible wins. From all reports it was a cracker between the Hawks & Brisbane as well. Definite forward shoot out from the look of things.

Freo vs Crows was an average game though. Neither team looked overlly good today.

Fuck I love AFL.

Victorian TV is so funny. ABC news tonight spent minutes on the Melbourne matches, showing footage and so on, but only briefly mentioned Port & West Coast. Seriously, if I had sneezed I would have missed the result.

Fucking Victorians.

and how is that any different to adelaide media with the Crows?


*edit* Go the blues! Had forgotten what 2 in a row feels like. They seem to be starting to gel with one another-plenty of mast worthy moments on sunday. Judd starting to dominate. He's a freak

Big test against the Blows this week. Adelaide are gayly  drilled. Will be a challenge for our kids not to get touched up

the Blows

Hahahaha the Blows? Dude, that is so, so lame. I expect better from the likes of yourself :p It's even worse than calling Carlton the Poo's!

Anywho, looking forward to the game. Should be an interesting battle in the midfield.

Yet somehow they still seem to be happy with their consistently underperforming team.

 Mark Harvey was interviewed on On The Couch tonight. One of the most cringe worthy interviews I have ever seen. Wallsy, Mike Sheehan and even Gerard Healy were grilling him and he had no answers. :shudder:

 Apparently when Judd ran out on the weekend, Selwood went to stand him and yelled out to everyone ' He still has crook shoulders' and Judd replied ' It's from carrying you and a few others over here for the last few years'

was a good game disapointed the big v had a win but they earned it. Mybe buddy coulda kicked a bit straighter.

Still i woulda much rather of seen the old red S.A guernseys come out instead of the dream team but i suppose that is a thing of the past.

big test or the Navy Blue this week against Brisbane. Significant game too-the last time we played Brown had 28 touches, kicked 10 goals and Paegan was sacked. Keen to see how far we've come

*edit* actually i take that back. Maybe its the crisp overtones of Sol Lager talking, but impressed with the way the Blues haven't given up. Last year, this would've turned into 100 point loss

not looking forward to an angry Geelong this week, especially with literally half ouer defense out. Could get quite ugly

still that said, 4 wins in 6 outings has me smiling. The future(especially with the new teams coming in and locking the draft) looks extremely bright for the Navy Blues!

Haha I noticed that. I'm not a big fan of players making heros of themselves, but after kicking that I believe you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Oath, Lloyds was average.

We are the Navy Blues,
We are the old dark Navy Blues,
We’re the team that never lets you down,
We’re the only team old Carlton knows,
With all the champions they like to send us,
We’ll keep our end up.

And they will know that they’ve been playing
Against the famous old dark Blues
