The Sport Spot - Comment here on what's happening in the world of Aussie sports!

I am getting sick of Port's total inability to play 4 quarters. Good first half, useless in the second, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters golden, but the other team were 50 points ahead at quarter time. Sort yourselves out!

And with lights Brenda. Ah but our Sydney Swans did okay last night too, I might add!

Well we are still improved from last year, I think everyone has been getting ahead of themselves. We were never going to make finals this year. This season is just about development and improvement. Next season we should make a push for 6-8th spot

The Swans did very well Dale:)

Yes we were pretty happy, Brenda.
Because obviously, there's only one SA team with 5 wins 5 losses who isn't in the 8. There is no bias in the media at all.
Have to say we were pretty happy in this household with Sydney Swans win on Saturday. We play Port next, after the bye.
I managed to get an American friend of mine into AFL, he's chosen Sydney as his team. I was pretty happy with their performance last weekend, definitely shut some of the Crows supporters I know up.
Was in the car with a die-hard crows supporter during the third quarter. It was nice.

Port win by 90 points and Crows lose. That is a good weekend, in my opinion.
I would have to agree. How perfect would it be if Port beat Sydney, especially considering Sydney mutilated the Crows. I would cry from happiness.
I am not optimistic, but it would indeed be fantastic.

Australia through to the 2014 world cup! :D Can't wait!

3 Sydney Swans guys breaking the record this weekend of games played together by a trio. Goodes, Bolton and O'Keefe their 254th game together. Have to hope it is a blinder for all the right reasons.
Mod
:D
I thought Boaky is going to be fit to play? Damn, thats a big loss. Mitchell is good too though. If we are to have a chance we need Wingard, Hartlett, Westhoff and Shultz to have amazing games.

Westy has been pretty quiet for a few weeks now, it's a shame.

Oh it was :P
HOWZAT!!!!!! Crows fans can bury their heads this weekend!
Port thoroughly deserved their win. They played well against our Sydney boys.

I watched a video of the last two minutes of that game, absolutely amazing. I don't particularly like either team, but christ almighty.

He did alright in his first hit out and will be good for us. He doesn't have to kick a bag each week just play his role. He'll do that all right I think.
Michael wrote: "How on earth did Geelong lose to Lions when 40 points up in the last quarter? Totally amazing. The 8th biggest comeback win in the history of the game."We turned the game off and we reading and then thought we'd come back and check the score. It was 97 all at that stage. I nearly died with shock.
I've got a headache from yelling so much at tonight's game.What an absolute ripper.

Great game and great atmosphere. :D"I wish I had been there, but I shouted myself hoarse in front of the TV. I could barely hear the commentators over the crowd, from siren to siren the noise just didn't stop D:
Glad you were representing. :D
I can only imagine Liam. Didn't see the game but another good win for your guys.

I'm not sad about that:)
Crows lost again, this season just keeps getting better.
I've got all picks right in the footy tipping so far this week. Hope it stays that way.
Sydney win but hardly convincing. Still it's 4 points.
Mod
I prefer the AFL, but one of my workmates from Queensland (I'm also from NSW..."
I feel your pain Steve! I don't think you will be getting any peace this year either. Not looking good for NSW.
