    ***Official*** Spot-Fixing Scandal

    And that's why this is such an insidious problem - you can't take anything at face value anymore. Think it is reasonable to assume that there was something specific to the allegations for the ICC to announce an investigation. That's not to prejudge the result of the investigation, but just...

    A.F.L. Thread II

    :yawn: I've got better things to do than review old GFs - like anticipate my team playing in this year's one.

    A.F.L. Thread II

    My Mum was at that game. So this is personal for me. You bag out the Pies for their GF history (fair enough too, unforunately) but the fact that that is the only time the Saints have managed to get over the line says plenty about them as well. As does the fact that the haters are all reaching...

    Flintoff to Announce Retirement

    One of the players I've most admired/feared and at times hated. ("you've got a busted knee you **** - stop bowling so well and fall over already!!!" - Matt79, 2009) Game is certainly richer for having had him in it, and poorer now that time and physically inevitably has caught up with him...

    Partisanship aside, jeez I love GF week in Melbourne (obviously love it more when the Pies are IN the GF). Brownlow night, everyone from both teams wearing their scarfs around town, footyshows on high rotation on the telly, the Parade, boozy long lunch on Friday, then the day itself. Best week...

    Nick Dal Santo this morning pretty much said they game style doesn't work as well in the wet. Will be interesting. Will be interesting tracking the 1001 stories, rumours and theories re: Luke Ball and Dal Santo's fitness this week. Fingers crossed Ball is fit.

    Wow that sarcasm mark thing sure is hilarious. Makes me laugh almost as much as you including the fap smiley in every post like a kid who's just learnt a new swear word.

    ^^ Nah, unlike the Cats, they can't hurt good teams on the scoreboard, unless Milne kicks a bag (which won't happen with O'Brien on him). Too slow, too unconvincing going forward. Tailor made for our style.

    Don't know whether you caught the Qualifying Final, but it wasn't pretty for you guys and that would be influencing people. I do agree with you in general though - it will make little practical difference to Collingwood being hot favourites whether St Kilda or Bullies win tonight. I'll predict...

    Far out, if I was interested in listening to a bunch of twits from cricsim chat amongst themselves, I'd probably go there rather than CW

    The Aamer Situation

    Every now and again, it helps to make an extreme example out of someone to encourage the others to perform well/behave properly.

    Know you're trying to put a brave face on it, but I've seen the artist's impression of the state you've been in since halfway through the first quarter tonight:

    Saints fans are the worst. Just **** off. Murphy's denial of a self-evident truth about the quality of a player reaching the stage where it wouldn't be out of place in a conversation about flat-track bullies in CC... :p

    Hope Luke Ball is fit - the club have said it was a hammy twinge, but hopefully we're foxing and it was cramp. Him winning the Norm Smith against St Kilda would be the final icing on the cake.
