That's funny Nasher. I was just thinking about that game a week or so ago as I reflected on the folly of the notion that rain brings poor teams and bad teams closer by virtue of the rain neutralising the skill gap. When in fact it doe the opposite.

I remember saying to a mate we had a chance of winning that game because of the rain and IIRC we got flogged by at least 80 points and barely scored at all. He said i was stupid. At the time time we were on the way to the game and stopped for a beer at the Rose Hotel in Fitzroy just as the rain came tumbling down. In a rare outburst of good sense we elected to stay  and watch the game at the Rose. Stayed dry. Beer was cold and cheap. Bar was packed. Dees got smashed.

I reckon it was more than a decade ago though.

 

8 years ago. During the Bejinng Olympics i'm pretty sure?

I have no interest in watching this game tonight. But if Freo win it puts the bummers on the bottom but I don't want them getting the number 1 pick. They were punished for cheating, they shouldnt be rewarded. But I want Freo to win so when we play them we arent the first team to lose to them in case it happens. 

Just saw highlights of the suns swans game. Gee thats old fashion wet weather footy. That's footy that was played 20 years ago with conditions like that.

One good thing was crossed off the list today - we won't be the team to give Fremantle their first win of the season.

Which is an absolute disgrace!

[SaberFang 7,141]

If we hadn't played Essendon in the first 5 rounds, we win.

It was an obviously strategic fixturing decision to play them against us so early in the season knowing they'd have fade quickly, just like how the AFL conveniently had them play against us, St Kilda and GWS in the last pre-season; the 3 bottom placed teams from season 2014, right in the midst of the uncertainty about the outcome of ASADA's case against them.

Possibly through one of the radio stations websites? 

Or the AFL website match centre:

Click the game you want to listen to then 'listen live'

Not sure if it changes state to state but I've got four broadcaster options and they're all working.

Collingwood are putting on a disgraceful performance - nearly 10 goals down at 3/4 time. Look very ordinary.

We will be the filth next week.

We were poor last week and still managed to stay in striking distance for 3 quarters.

Today shows Collingwood poor is even worse then us when poor. I take it as encouraging that we've improved.

Pies are so [censored]

We beat them easily once this year already and we will do it again by even more on QB

It was our only Friday night game that year, and one of few we get.  

I seem to remember DumbItriou saying something like "we give them a Friday night and nobody goes. Don't deserve any more". It was the opening of the Bejing Olympics FFS.  8/8/08
