Well, you can gloat over almost everybody other than Pies supporters. The default position for most of us is to support anybody playing against the Pies (red may make an exception for the Crows...)

Hard to say whether the Pies were awesome yesterday, or the Bombers were ordinary. First quarter was a Blitzkrieg, alright...

Are there aussie rules? I cant seem to fathom any at all apart from hit the guy with the egg.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Here, hold this egg...
I came here to sneer at the Cats and JimC. Stayed to see what was going on. Oh, yeah, blasphemy is a victimless crime.

Last year with the whole media here in mourning after the pies had knocked out the cows was a sight to behold. :shiver:

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.

Jimmy Lee Farnsworth: Erwin, admit that you are a sinner.
Fletch: Uh. Well, I've sinned. I didn't take any Polaroids or anything. But, yeah, I've sinned.
Jimmy Lee Farnsworth: The Lord forgives ya!
Fletch: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Amen. What? Other sins? Uh, I parked in a handicap spot on my way up here. Actually, on a handicap person. I told him I'd be back in five minutes, so that's not such a big deal.

I echo the above sentiments, but it may be a useful wake-up call to work harder & play smarter...

A lot of players 'went missing' in that game.

Wy the fuck couldn't we take a mark in the forward line? And then when we did we sprayed shots all over the place ... very strange of Jimmy Bartel to spray two set shots at goal ... he is usually a dead eye dick.

I have a feeling Richmond are going to pay for our boys' sins against Carlton ... at least that is what I am hoping for! That, and the clear record for consecutive number of home game wins (going for 25 in a row at home)

Carlton were bloody good though and am happy to see them do we as it makes for a more even competition.

Nice to see the Swannies (my wife's team and my 'second' team - we used to be members when we lived in Sydney) on top of the ladder. Should be a cracker on Saturday night against Brisbane ... Swannies to power home by 3 goals.

Here's hoping Carlton can play against the Pies like they did against us. Pies played really well on the weekend and it would be good if Carlton could bring them down a peg or two! ... And then whoever Carlton play the following week bring them down a peg or two!

Things I’ve learnt about AFL from watching Channel 7’s (shit) coverage.
  1. No play has endurance anymore – they have ‘a big engine' – or ‘lots of petrol in the tank'
  2. No player can run fast – they have ‘good leg speed'
  3. No one kicks anymore – they ‘dispose by foot'
  4. No one handballs anymore – they ‘dispose by hand'
  5. No one gets tripped – they were ‘legged'
  6. No one falls over – they become ‘unstuck
  7. Bruce Mcavaney thinks Riolli is ‘delicious’
  8. And he ask, ‘Don’t you just love him?’
  9. Apparently showing only a close-up of the footy rolling along the ground – and no players – is what footy fans want to see?
  10. Apparently showing the look on a coaches face is more important then a player about to play-on from a mark and kick a goal. :roll:
  11. Apparently 'Goaled' is a verb :think:

So what have you learnt?

Yes, the cliches flow during TV commentary like free booze at a football club piss-up...

The only answer is to get pleasantly drunk while watching a game...

0 and 6 and the woodenspoons were out amongst the Port Adelaide faithful as the lads ran over the top of the cows to rack up the 15th victory over the fruit tingles. :shiver:

Port have made a habit of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat this year... :eddy:

Except when they meet Geelong, of course... :biggrin:
