Right, so they poached the finals system, Karmichael Hunt and Israel Folau? Got ya.

Actually morgieb is spot on. AFL used McIntyre in the 90s I believe and RL used the system currently used by both comps before the two comps swapped.

The AFL is probably better suited to this system anyway.

big time performer that guy. had a wayne carey-esque impact on the game in the first half.

He's been pretty poor since he came back from injury tbh. Yesterday was his best game since he came back by miles.

Smashed up the Lions and Dogs, but this one was obviously the one that counted.

I'm sure 98 probably caused a rethink of the system.

Hearing reports an AFL player has fallen from a balcony and died on an end of season trip in Las Vegas.

Yeah I just saw the story on news.com.au. Fuarkkkk who is it.

EDIT: BF points to <snip> from Port Adelaide. Shiiiieeet.

EDIT2: Probably better that I don't post a name until confirmed.

 

[Spikey]

probably angus divefries

Holy ****ing ****.

 

[Jono]

Media not naming him even though everyone knows, because his family hasn't been informed yet.

But sportsnewsfirst.com.au have named him. Dogs.

 

[Ausage]

Parochial instincts aside, that's absolutely awful. Huge story.

Sportal didn't name the player, but named his position in the draft, who he played for and some of his family members. Not hard to figure it out. Classy way to generate web traffic.

Haha this was my exact thoughts.

Jeez, saw the photos of some of the Port players here in Aust on their way to the rooms to be addressed by Port officials. Sad stuff

If it turns out alcohol or drugs was a key cause, I wonder whether this will have an affect on where the clubs allow players to go for their post-season trips.

 

[Ausage]

Given it's Vegas it's hard to imagine there wasn't some serious inebriation involved.

 

[Jono]

John McCarthy officially named now
