Go #3!

I barely follow it but I used to play over here in the round football off-season and my club team was the Wgtn City Saints, modelled on you know who. All the teams were modelled on AFL sides (not great on the originality factor).

Holy shit, that was a close game. It wasn't skill that got the Pies over the line (by 1 point! and about an inch!), just sheer bloody stubbornness.

By the skin of your fucking teeth, mate! :shock:

Actually, good to see the Demons showing some fight... :tup:

Medhurst was a better pick-up for you guys than many thought at the time...

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Cats vs Hawks today. Should be a good match.

After trailing the Hawks all day, a late surge let Geelong escape with a 9 point win...

Go Cats! :tup:
