Yep, one will be from me. The footy is the primary reason I pay such an extortionate rate for pay TV. Not impressed at all.

Hope Foxtel looses the footy, or go back to a 24hr AFL station! :(

On good authority, (a mate who knows him) has suggested Newton is 90% sure to play as some one from the backline has not come up, possibly due to illness.

What utter nonsense this has turned out to be. It was utter rubbish the moment you heard it. Threads like this I can't stand.

The words 'on good authority' have no meaning, except that you can bet that it's no authority at all. That phrase is like the word 'rumours' that appeared so many times in that hopeless piece of 'journalism' in yesterday's Age about Fevola's gambling problem.

The first 3 words says it all....

Clearly a mate who does not know him well enough.

I actually believe the opening post, because Frawley certainly didn't look right today.

It's possible he was ill.

I agree too yet saw Juice and Rivers at half time juice looked proppy walking around

I would hate to see what type of bloke you are when we lose considering you posted after the game.

So I got it wrong...Boo freaking hoo.

Good authority was a guy who regularly plays golf with him and used to live with him.

Smile, we won and lose the big dirty black cloud that you seem to carry around.

And if you cant stand the threads....hmmmm....waiting.....hey I've got it....dont read them and only read the 100% true threads that pertain to facts and no opinions at all.

Fair enough, I was a bit extreme. I'm very happy after watching the game actually. I thought there was enough stuff along the lines of 'Newton will be brought in' yesterday, mostly illogical. So you have my apology. But I do think something that's just hearsay shouldn't be lumbered with the phrase 'on good authority'.

Just because it didn't occur doesn't mean the source wasn't decent.

Bailey himself could have said Newton was a 90% chance of playing - it doesn't mean he definitely will.

As for Frawley, I share your sentiments Jaded.

Just cause Newton was talking himself up to a friend does not make the info less accurate. It's not a big deal.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
