GabrielJ is a Collingwood man. Known as the Magpies (or just the Pies), this club produces the most rabid set of fans known to mankind! I'm sure he will have lots to say... :twisted:
Coincidentally, tonight is the grand final of the pre-season cup, and, you guessed it, the 2 contenders are the Cats and the Pies!
Go Cats!
Australian Rules Football...
It has rules???
Actually, the first time that I saw it, I swear that I saw someone get penalized because they didn't hit somoeone...
P1: I am a nobody.
P2: Nobody is perfect.
C: Therefore, I am perfect

About me: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate and wine in each hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
Great start to the season by Port Adelaide. Like Geelong we kicked rather crappily.
Why didn't Collingwood bloody beat Crows it would of made my weekend perfect.

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.

Well, the Cats had a rather unconvincing win over Richmond this afternoon. The Tigers actually were leading for a while, until we got serious in the last quarter. And Ottens will be out for a while...
GabrielJ & Goldenmane will be happy, with the Pies having a solid win over the Demons.

We did? Awesome.
I didn't get a chance to pay any attention this weekend. Bloody work!
*goes to check the highlights*
I was wondering why Burgeo was shaking my hand in congratulatory fashion tonight. He's largely incoherent at the best of times, though.
I came here to sneer at the Cats and JimC. Stayed to see what was going on. Oh, yeah, blasphemy is a victimless crime.
The Swans were impressive, after a slow start, knocking off Hawthorn quite easily. My impression is that it will be a fairly even season, hopeless cases aside...
A solid win for Geelong last night against the Pies. Blew them away in the 2nd quarter, and hung on for a 27 point victory. Collingwood's wayward kicking for goal didn't help their chances...

Port are playing Melbourne they SHOULD win but you never know this season i fear.
