And Milne just wants a piece of the blonde
I know I'm supposed to let rip with the toothless ferals stuff at this point, but at the risk of sounding like a patronising d**khead, I really do respect what Collingwood does for a lot of these people. They would have pretty rough lives, and the footy gives them an outlet.
Yeah, you don't really want to be sitting near that if you're with the kids, but every club has its morons.
They tip millions into the AFL coffers and it is undeniable every team lobbies hard to get to host them at the MCG.
Congratulations (again) tonight.
But jeez it would be nice to beat the bastards in a Grand Final
Yeah I'm playing Supercoach. It's a really hard game at the best of times. I have loaded my side with Collingwood players and am hoping that will be enough to carry me through the season.
I have a bit of a soft spot for Hawthorn. It was either them or West Coast, I kinder supported. Sydney never interested me.
I do the NRL dreamteam. Not sure how points are allocated in the AFL one, but I've found after one round, I need to make a few a more trades. Well two this week only. It's addictive.
in my team, I have seven Parramatta players out of 25.
Might be in a bit of trouble when they have byes, then.
I've tried to go for no more than three in a side, so I can hopefully swap players out when their side has a bye.
I am relying on the Pies to blow away everyone else when they do play to make up for the byes
Mind you it is hard to pick a strong Collingwood team when the salary cap is so low.
I hope Krakour turns out to be a cracker.

I always forget about that Thursday night game to launch the season, thanks to the non-existent media coverage the AFL gets up here.
The Australia/India World Cup Quarter is on tomorrow night, so it looks like I won't see the season opener again this year either.
Unlucky timing for the AFL and particularly for whoever's home game it is.

Unlucky timing for the Cricket you mean. Down here everyone's eyes will be on the MCG tonight
Walk up gate would have to be affected.
One of the best things about the MCG - most games you don't have to book ahead for a ticket, you can just turn up if you feel like it.

That's seven about NRL games worth of people in one Thursday night game featuring two notorious underperformers. No questioning which is the dominant sport in this country.
Finally I will get to see some of this game. The Channel 10 replay starts at 11pm, which times beautifully with the tea break in the cricket
Saints fan here, who lives in Sydney
We've been crushed three times in two years...takes character (and a ton of alcohol) to support those Sainters
If you want to see Riewoldt or Nicky Dal in the nude give me or any other Pies person a shout, we all have the photos
Congratulations to St. Kilda and Geelong footy clubs, you have managed to cure insomnia for all time. Just watch a replay of that game, you'll be asleep in no time.
Not sure if it was the ageing bones on both lists, or this new sub rule, but that game was slow, riddled with soft frees and (Bartel and Hayes excepted) was a flair and skill free zone.
Terrible crowd. Maybe the fans knew what was coming.
The promised new attacking style of footy from the Saints must be on hold till next week. Nice to see we can still defend, but it ain't gonna be enough against the best sides.
Hoping for a much better effort next week!

1 point loss last week...draw this week...moving in the right direction at least!
I was at the game the last time Richmond beat us...in 2003! Nearly knocked us over tonight, though.
Much better game than last week - started shouting at the tele a few times, the footy mojo is coming back!
Saints have to win next week.
