    And the drug cheats are going to put away Hawforn. The fawning over the cheats in the commentary is really, really starting to grate.

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    I used the remote. Anything is better than that.

    When we play them hopefully it will be an easy 10 goal win for us. Bont to star and Tom Boyd to kick 5 goals

    We're a strange breed - we clap and cheer the 'fairytale' of convicted dopers returning from their ban moreso than the champion cancer sufferer returning to captain his team.

    Melbourne knocking over the Saints in the manner they did could be an ominous sign. As Sedat pointed out earlier their midfield depth is impressive plus they have a bit of height all over the ground.
    Mitch Hannan had a good debut for them as well.

    It's being reported that Nick Riewoldt hyper-extend his right knee. Apparently it doesn't appear to be an ACL but it could see him miss some time.

    They're going to be a tough match up. Still have Hibberd to return to their back half, too.


    Quite a few surprising results but it just underlines how even the competition is.

    I agree it's sickening but we are all partly to blame. We stood by while WADA went far too hard after the players while they didn't do a thing about the people who were actually to blame-Hird, Robinson, Dank etc. The people who issued the orders.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    The athlete is responsible for what goes into his body. WADA didnt go too far at all.

    Just heard, Moz has a broken leg!? Fark I hope this report is wrong. Radio reporting as such, apparently.

    Surely no way he has a broken leg. You'd know it. Fractured maybe. Sounds like he'll be missing a fair amount of time though
