Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Was absolutely terrified for the last 15 minutes. Just scrappy gritty footy.

Also Ken nearly breaking up during his quick talk with Richo post-game :( Such a top bloke.

Nicole Alexander (nicole_alexander) | 98 comments Just watched replay of Federer/ Murray match at W. Fabulous tennis... can't wait for the final.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Always hurts losing to the Camry's, but was nice to see Port storming home like they did so many times last year. Just not enough in the end :(

Finals definitely off the table now, so hopefully they start working on figuring out how to stop this from happening next year. 2015 needs to be a blip on the radar.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Well at least now we can stop pretending we're going to get anywhere near the finals this year. Need to spend the next four games sorting out a plan B, cos Plan A ain't working.

Hopefully get some free games into some younger players as well.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Gorgeous. I stuck $10 on, $100 return :D

I have no idea why the odds were so hard against Port, we've got a great record against the Hawks over the last couple years. I was gonna put $50 on but didn't have it on me at the time, wish I had :P

Especially considering the year we've had it's a terrific achievement. Also the Crows not reacting well, gotta pad them memberships

It appears that Australians have become quite popular in American football :) http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2015/...

Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) What a boring AFL Grand Final! A bit late :P

Where's our sporty people?? LOL! The NAB cup has been going for a little bit - a shame the Cats were beaten in the last few minutes last night:(

Ah wait till the real season starts Brenda, then you might hear me. Having said that I have to admit to getting home at 10pm on Friday night and then DH and I sat down to watch the Sydney Carlton match. Didn't see the Geelong match but sounds like they were unlucky to lose it with Freo's super goals.

Brenda | 80079 comments Mod
Yes they were unlucky Dale. I know this is ONLY the NAB cup and it's not as important as the real thing:) But I suppose for the die hard fans it's still footy isn't it;)

http://globalnews.ca/news/2574582/can... so Apparently that happened ...

Being Canadians, we probably apologized afterward :p

It is Brenda. Have mostly only watched my own team but watching a bit of Melbourne and St Kilda today.

At least until the real thing comes along.

LOL! Very true;)


message 1320: by Dale (new)

Dale Harcombe | 6919 comments Thought you would be at the footy Michael yesterday. I was watching it on TV . Thought Port would run over the top in the second half. But St Kilda did well for a while.
How do you think Geelong will go this afternoon Brenda? Should be a good match.
Happy with our Sydney guys and especially our debutants.

We're really hoping the Cats will beat Hawthorn Dale...fingers crossed!
Your Swans did very well!


message 1322: by [deleted user] (new)

I heard on twitter that Michael's team won. So congrats, Michael. I hope you had fun at the game :)

Good win to Port and also to Geelong. Didn't see either game. Was watching a replay of GWS beating Hawthorn. Gotta cheer on the other Sydney team as long as they are not playing us.

What about the Cats win!!!???!!! OMG what a thrashing for the other team. Such a great win...

Dale and I are wishing each other the best of luck - may the best team win! lol

Of course I pick the Cats though Michael :)


message 1338: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80079 comments Mod
Don't know - hard to pick that one..


message 1339: by Dale (new)

Dale Harcombe | 6919 comments Sorry, didn't see these posts last night. Was too busy watching the game. Happy for our Sydney boys and keen to see what happens in the game today. Think it will be GWS but Bulldogs could just as easily do it.


message 1340: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80079 comments Mod
Congratulations to your Swans Dale :) They definitely were the better team on the night. I've said over many years - the break never benefits a team and with it only being the second game in 28 days for the Cats it showed. The Swans sizzled and played brilliantly. The Cats were shell shocked I think.

Good luck with the GF Dale - I think you guys are in with a very big chance :)

Onward and upward!

Thanks Brenda. Hope you are right. I agree about the break. Have to say I always thought the bye before the finals was the stupidest idea out.

Brenda | 80079 comments Mod
Yes - and it doesn't matter who has it, it seems to affect them all the same way.


message 1343: by Dale (new)

Dale Harcombe | 6919 comments Yep. Be interesting to see if it is the same this arvo. In which case the Bulldogs would win, I guess.


message 1344: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80079 comments Mod
I'm not writing GWS off, but feel the Bulldogs could well win... I guess we will see soon :)

Dale Harcombe | 6919 comments Anyone watching the game at Spotless? A bit of damage happening.

It's a great game! Close; like last night's should have been!


message 1347: by Dale (new)

Dale Harcombe | 6919 comments Certainly not much in it.


message 1348: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

No...will be a tight quarter! GWS are looking good though...

WHAT.A.GAME!!! Commiserations to GWS!


message 1350: by Dale (new)

Dale Harcombe | 6919 comments Certainly a close one. The sentimental favourite won.
