Final 8: More exclusive (more than half of the teams making the finals would be outrageous) and the system in place at the moment is pretty fair. 24 rounds: Play every team once and 7 teams twice just like now. Not too fussed on this, however. Wouldn't like to go to 17 as it's too short IMO and highly doubt the AFL would agree to it with the less televised matches. Don't mind the idea of a season where you can play everyone twice but it's simply too long for a sport like Aussie Rules. Abolutely no Supergoals: Tinkers with the scoring too much, the game is already confusing enough, if people want higher scoring games you can just change goals to 10 points and points to 3.

If our debt was indeed $825,000, for interest to get that to 1.5 we must be paying an absurd amount of interest! Running costs wouldn't come into debt because they'd be part of costs for this year wouldn't they? And that shouldn't come out of last year because we made a profit, albeit largely on the back of donations - but profit nonetheless.

Pears is pretty good, I have big question marks over Monfries' disposal.

I think this is what happens when Sydneysiders write articles on footy (I'm just going to hope that the source: The Age doesn't actually mean it's an article from the Age).

Vics win!

I thought we'd gotten our debt to around $825,000?

I think there's stuff on the Casey board mate

Victory grand final into extra time. We were completely out of it until the equalizer then had chances to win it in the last ten. Both sides couldve got a second goal, and probably a winner. Thompson's injury has been a killer

They pulled the market hours after they put it up and I'm pretty sure they got smashed the whole time. It was definitely short sleeves and whilst Fletcher did stop a couple of his goals, he still nabbed one to pull in the $2+ it offered

It sure did.

It's no $7.50 for Jurrah to wear a short sleeve jumper in his debut.

Nah uni today mate

Go the vics!

The Bulls are 2/40 after being 2/14. Wright with the other wicket. Yeah, it was a shame abotu Wade. He'd played quite well (in the time I was there) and deserved a century. I do wonder if he thought it was the last over of the day because the ball didn't look anywhere near the type he was looking for.

I'll never forget his punch from the ball up at the 30 minute mark of the last quarter against the Hawks to get us the win by a point.

Please, please, remove that picture!

Certainly is a decent player, no Grimes though. Played a very good knock but an absolute 'mare of a shot to get out. Mustve thought it was the last over...

Pardon my ignorance, but is there any reason footy shouldn't be played on Good Friday but it's fine for Easter Sunday?

Mmm

All for it. Anything to get us an extra Friday night game as well! Can't see the fuss behind it - the NRL play on good Friday.

We've done well to battle back to get near 300

Still, far too long to hold a grudge - especially in terms of sport.

If we don't reach 30,000 members I will deliver you my nutsack by registered post.

Completely disagree re: Bate. A few generous years? He's only played 4 seasons and two of them have yielded top 4 finishes in the Bluey. One of our more underrated players IMO

March 18th last year we were on 24,000 ish. We hit 25,000 on March 23rd. We didn't reach 30,000 until April 29 - Round 6
