I hadn't heard of them as a clothing company and assumed the Tobacco advertising laws still applied.

Thanks for the info.  

The Peter Jackson suit ads were almost as famous as the Kevin Dennis car ads not to mention the Franco Cozzo...... "norta melbourne and foot- is- cray"

anyone know how many people usually turn up to the VFL final?  thinking of maybe going but etihad atmosphere is terrible at the best of time but esp when only 5,000 there

be better off playing it at Optus oval of something

Go. Support the Scorps and support the Melbourne players. The Dogs fans get behind their VFL team so we need our fans out there and in full voice!

Well I've been to Casey Fields a few time this year so I'm used to seeing the Scorps at a shitty venue so I shall make the trip to Etihad,

Go Scorps!

Definitely getting down to Etihad to support all of our players and the Scorps.

Just finished watching. He seemed very confident Salem, Grimes and Hulett will all be back in for the weekend

Been out of the country for a couple of weeks so am VERY keen to see some fair dinkum AFL when I get back on the weekend.

This NFL circus stuff where they take 3 & 1/2 hours to play 4 x 15 minutes of (alleged) action does my head in - (altho' the cheerleaders provide an interesting distraction in the dull moments).

Hoping like crazy that the 'Shitihad Curse' doesn't afflict the Scorps!

After the Carlscum debacle and the slaughter at the Cattery, anything which provides the Club with a sense of momentum would be extremely welcome.

No Don't, I took my Mrs to Bunnings for a sausage on valentines day and she didn't appreciate it.

And she still has the nerve to tell me I don't care about her.

Some women are never pleased.

Time for a jolly good flogging doc.

On a footballing note I read that Salem is considered likely to play. Our erstwhile reporter has posted the link above.

I have to say I find this incredible. Salem was out like the proverbial light yet they are saying the concussion was very mild.

With all the concerns about, duty of care and litigation, not to mention the possibility of damage emerging later - why would you take the risk?

Great  VFL GRAND FINAL preview with "Matty" talking footy with "Plappy" !

He was apparently pretty good in the rooms and then went straight home to rest. The Doctors obviously think it is not a risk, or he would be out.

Yes no doubt that is the case RL.

However I still find it difficult to reconcile with way he looked after the hit.

Granted it didn't look good.

yes, will be on fta

thanks daisy, hopefully catch it online somewhere..

After our last meeting with St Kilda, I swore I would never go back to that shocking venue.

However, I am making an exception this weekend as I feel starved of football already and excited about seeing Casey in the GF.

I was talking to a former Casey player yesterday (he left at the end of last season) and he feels Casey have it over the Bulldogs and will win comfortably.

Agree Uncle, not worth the risk IMO. Will win confortably without him anyway! Mild concussion who are they trying to kid!??
