A tie! Gee, I thought it at the time, how much would India rue their last 2 overs. Even the simple fact they didn't get to bat the full 50 overs - with missing out on that last ball. Great knock from Strauss it sounds like, can't believe England didn't get there needing 50ish from the last 7 overs with 8 wickets in hand.

Sachin! Crazy end to the inning as India lose 5-11 from the last 11 balls/7-33 from the last 24.

Theoretically, if rpfc was around would he (and therefore the rest of us) be able to keep choosing but they'd have until 5:30 tomorrow to make the selection?

OK. Very funny. I get it. It's clever and witty and etc. etc. But whoever just picked up Grimes had better cut it out right now.

How'd you get Boyd?

And you probably said the same thing about Gary Ablett at 19.

That's what you'll get from 9-10 out of 10 19 year olds.

Don't see the need of playing Frawley up forward, would rather see Garland given a go there first. Wouldn't be against a Watts/Garland switch for a while to see how they go/further their education.

The potential (and IMO, likely) downside far outweighs the upside for mine.

Not according to the AFL website

When you're the best player in the AFL you can play wherever you like.

You honestly think that this was a viable option for those who love North Melbourne and wanted it to remain as their club? If that were offered to the Dees 3 years ago, I would've rather have risked death in Melbourne.

The white one with the demon on the front - I know because I own the one Matthew Whelan wore that day B) You may remember that we didn't have a sponsor and so gave up the space on our jumper to support the bushfire victims.

Vics by a run to knock NSW out of the final!

I can't recall a single NAB/Wizard etc. pre season game when we've worn our traditional top.

I thought we were going to wear the clash strip in each game, like we do in most/all pre-season comps.

Where's that image about not feeding the troll?

Fantastic, thanks mate. A non Monday would be great for me as I teach, but up to you and others really.

It's good fun and a lot of really good people involved. I just couldn't really justify the cost for a couple of functions a year, maybe when I save up a bit.

Would love to but can't do the draft time!

The nerves are jangling

Wonderful series Jack, am enjoying each read (as usual!)

Somehow, he didn't actually win Mark of the Year in '98 for that screamer. Winston Abraham won it for a much less spectacular effort. Though Farmer gets all the recognition and media for it - I wonder if Norf fans are upset about that?

I think the latter, but I don't think aboriginal people make much of a distinction.

Much of this thread rests on the side of a pissing contest devoid of facts or proper perspective.
