there's a tournament in melbourne now Ry for all the int'l teams ... i tried out for the Israeli-Palestinian one but didn't make it ...
been a Geelong man for the past 19 years.
Watched us lose 4 grand finals (89, 92, 94 and 95) and last year was just an incredible feeling. I couldnt sleep the night before the game, in fear that we would fuck it up again.
We deserve it again, and the only team that i can see stopping us is Hawthorn.
The most impressive thing is that our core players are still only 24-27, so hopefully we can dominate for a few more seasons yet

when i was in aus i chose the Kangaroos as my team.. we went to see them play collingwood on our first whole day in melbourne and at half time when the game was something like 54-58 I went up to the shop and picked myself up a Kangaroos jersey. Cue the most one sided half of footy ever which ended up around 112-64 to Collingwood!
I record the odd highlights show on eurosport but i dont really have the time to get too into and I know about each team/ players etc. I love it as a game though and wish it was played here as I think it is actually something I could be pretty good at

Well the Hawks couldn't do it earlier in the year when you were without Ablett and Ling, so I can't see them doing it in the Finals either.
I fancy the Saints do to quite well in the Finals. They won't win it obv.

Franklin's kicking style ensures he's always gonna miss as many as he kicks. The rough with the smooth and all that.
I think this Finals series is gonna throw up a big surprise somewhere. All it takes is for the Cats to have one bad day.

They'll have a second chance.

I'm emigrating to Perth next week. Who will I be supporting? Are they any good? Where's the season up to?
Cheers!

Bad timing Larry.
You've got a choice of the Fremantle Dockers or the West Coast Eagles, who are both shite at the minute. Personally I'd go for the Eagles, as they have less cunts in their list, and have better long-term prospects.

There's a great game going on at the moment between the Swans and the 'Roos. There's been a few dodgy refereeing decisions though.
42-40 to Sydney atm.

It was actually the worst game of the whole weekend.
Sydney are fucking awful to watch. Very impressive performance from the pies though.
