And the US promoters had gone a little overboard trying to sell their product. Newspaper ads for the game promoted the clash thus: “Balls. Brawls, Bloody Right”. “In Oz, it’s been legal for years. Aussie Rules football it’s organised mayhem. The roughest, toughest sport alive”. Anyone who hadn’t got the idea by then had it driven home when Sydney ruckman John Ironmonger was photographed sitting on a footpath, tearing at a large piece of raw steak with his teeth.

This sounds interesting and would love to hear more about it when you sober up or fix your auto-correct issues. ?

Only Essendon fans could whinge like this after a game they were gifted by the umpires.

That's a hell of a lot of precise multitasking to do in a split second when you're trying to actually smoother the ball.

Interesting question. I believe he is qualifies for father and son at both the Dockers and the Dees.

That would certainly save some costs.

Perhaps we should relocate overseas. I suggest somewhere tropical.

World Champs!!! ?

Thank God for the mute button. Can't listen to this song.

Umpires for the win.

That looked touched to me.

Frees now 29 to 14

How was that mark to Finlayson not paid. Umps giving the Bombers an armchair ride.

I find it easier now that $cully is gone.

28 to 14 frees to Essendon. Umpires BOG for Bombers tonight.

The 23rd player is Casey’s new signing Ariek Lual from Noble Park who replaces the injured Corey Machaya on the club’s list.

This is a photo from the Noble Park FC website.

Just mentioned on TV ~ Brisbane have only 2 players on their injured list. We get four new players on ours every week!
