Btw, the world will be awesome if Saints win today.
Carlton and Essendon out, and Pies losing will be good

Reckon it is the other way around. Other than flogging Carlton, they have really beaten any one that good since apparently becoming premiership contenders.

Just a bit of a brain fade for which he has apologised for. Hopefully he won't get special treatment at the tribunal.

Yeah not understanding this Adelaide hype. A year too early.
No more home finals for the year for one.

Bugger. Were well and truly outclassed by the Saints yesterday. We didn't play that badly, but didn't look like getting close in the second half. Reckon we can just give the Saints that cup now - with a weeks rest, only a big choke in the GF can stop them now.
Pendlebury's basically gone for the year, and Rocca is doubtful. Was pleased to see how well the big fella did, but then he got hurt anyway so
. Reckon the Crows should be warm favourites against us, with the players they're getting back, the couple we've lost, plus an extra couple of days rest. And even if we win over them, can't see us beating Geelong once they have their week's rest.
Have to say that I always find this drawn out finals system a bit of a waste of time - it rarely ever throws up many surprises, and we always end up with some mismatches in the first week. It obviously makes money for the AFL to have half the comp in the finals, but as a sporting spectacle it adds little. This round the highest ranked team won each match, and overall its something like 75% of finals are won by the higher ranked team. Reckon a final 6 would be better.

Well there are already a couple of female goal umpires aren't there? Sure I remember seeing the odd one when i went to games in 08?

Should have clarified field umpire.
Yeh Chelsea Roffey is the one going around at the moment. Used to be based in Brisbane but now out of Melbourne. She spoke at our Junior Pres night last year, only time I reckon every single person in the room has been 100% attentive.
Gotta love women lol
