Ha!! Knew I'd get a comment from you Melanie;D
AFL all the way :) Oh, sh*t Michael....Port play Collingwood next. And people thought Geelong-Melbourne was a bad loss :S
Maybe Swan, Cloke, Pendlebury, Thomas, Dawes, Davis, Krakouer, Ball and Maxwell will be rested. And maybe Tredrea, Burgoyne, Wanganeen, Carr, Wakelin and James will all come out of retirement. If that happens, we've got it in the bag.

Enjoy your game Michael, I going to get into some reading:) Nite:)
Yay for the Broncos! Thank goodness someone's happy here! Thats the biggest defeat in Port's history. Oh dear.
What can you do? We're kinda sorta really hopless. Michael, we'd better hope Hartlett, Gray and Boak re-sign with us. If they go to GWS, we're screwed.
It was a night of disappointments the Swans lost by one! I didn't watch the game...my husband will be thrilled with that result!
Broncos game was amazing great way to celebrate lockyers record equaling match apperances 349...I would marry that man if I could
I'm happy after South Sydney's win last night...56 to 6 against the Eels. In honesty though I feel for the Eels no-one wants to lose by that margin.

Try 180 odd points, Melbourne to Geelong. I dont think Ive even seen a team reach 180 points, let alone LOOSE by 180 :(

I didn't want to mention teams Jess..upsets a lot of people..lol
Yeah, well, Port suck as well. 138 points. I cried my self to sleep that night.
Not really, but I was rather upset. I did cry myself to sleep back after the 2007 Grand Final though. Travelled to Melbourne and everything...

I might be able to go as well. Hopefully we beat them, purely so we avoid the wooden spoon. I'll also be barracking for the crows for the first time in my life, when they play the Gold Coast. If GC win that, Port get the spoon :(
broncos beat the Cowboys on Lockys record breaking match...I love my team :D
Just a casual 165 points, Michael. Ah well, we'll bounce back in a few years time. Jonas & Butcher looked decent in their first games. Im not a large fan of the EPL, but I'll be barracking for Chelsea if I had to choose :)
Liverpool beat Arsenal? That will be one happy brother and one unhappy sister-in-law! As for me, just don't mention the Dockers :-(
Afl season over for 9 teams, including Port, thank goodness. At least we didn't get the wooden spoon. And hopefully John Butcher re-signs with us. And Hartlett Bette have an injury free year next year. I think Robbie Gray & Travis Boak are the only really decent ayers we have at the moment.
Finals! Poor Buddy, stuffing his knee tonight. Seeing that in slow motion was gross! No surprise with the easy Geelong win. Collingwood & Carlton will do the same. Sydney/Saint Kilda is the game of the round :)
Collingwood vs Geelong Grand Final. Everyone else is making up the numbers.
2nd Semi Final: Carlton vs West Coast starts in 20 minutes. Should be a great game, but I think West Coast will win by a few goals, since they are missing Gibbs and its in Perth. Plus, West Coast are getting Cox and Kerr back. Regardless, Im going for Carlton. Dad says if its a Carlton-Collingwood Grand Final he'll take me to Melbourne for it :)
Mod
Exciting finish! Carlton almost got that mark in the goal square in the last minute. Im not a fan of either team, but that was a thrilling last five minutes!
Imagine if Judd had actually played a reasonable game. He got completely shut down.
I'd love to see The Eagles go into the grand final, considering they finished bottom last year (hey Michael, maybe Port can do that same :)), but I still think its going to be a Geelong/Collingwood Grand Final.
I doubt it though; all their good players were injured last year. But it'll be good to see all our younger players develop in the next few years. Cant wait until Heartlett, Boak, Gray, Trengrove, Butcher and Broadbent all reach their prime :)
Give us three years and we'll be a genuine finals threat. I can see many finals being played at Adelaide Oval, when its still brand new...
Psh, West Coast aren't that bad. They took it right up to Collingwood, fought off the Blues and came top 4. Geelong will win by a couple of goals, though not easily.
Port were pretty convincing in their ten goal prelim final win against the Kangaroos in 2007. Then look what happened the next week. Just saying anything can happen in the finals
Expecting big win for the CATS today; GO CATS GO then the magpies next week.

im so lost with NRL I think im going to have to go for the warriors just because i hate manly that much!
Go the Cats! To quote my homeroom teacher: "I'd rather eat my own excrement than watch Collingwood win another Grand Final"

Haha!! Jess, that's a bit extreme!!! lol
Just watched Meatloaf! Hubby said 'think he's getting past his prime'...lol
Mod
Definitely the Warriors Melanie!!! I don't like rugby league, but want the warriors to win!!
Game starts realllllly soon. Im feeling a Collingwood win. It'll be close for 3 quarters then Geelong will fall away :(
Mod
1 point at quarter...will be a good game :) Travis Cloke for Norm Smith Medal?

I knew you and Jess wouldn't argue...lol
