    I was listening to 'Sports Today' on the radio last week, and Johnny Gibbs sugested that they were going to play a Monday night game, what happened to that idea?
    You know it makes sense.

    But surely they can make an exception when it's the sole Victorian team playing at the same time as the biggest AFL club in the state? Even moving it to Sunday evening would be better.

    I'm no rugby fan, but I don't want to see Melbourne fail to attract crowds.

    Television dictates when the match will be played, Channel 9 say 4pm Sunday, then thats when it's played...

    Why should their schedule be dictated by another sport?

    League fan; Hull over here, St George in Oz. Aussie Rules seems a mess to my uneducated eyes.

    Anyway, nothwithstanding:

    St. Kilda(6)
    Adelaide(2)
    West Coast(1)
    Collingwood(5)

    Newcastle(4)
    Brisbane(3)
    Bulldogs(2)
    Melbourne(1)
    - As featured in The Independent.

    "This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers."
    - Victor Marks makes the case for stiff-legged and stiff-armed 35 year old left-handers in Ashes squads
