When does this contract expire?

Ah, now I'm feeling better!

Newton, Bate, Dunn....Watts...hrm

Poor guy if true. Though he definitely played pre season, I remember watching him at Vi$y Park

Haha, lucky you did otherwise you'd have called me "God"

Your point is well seen, but if Whelan doesn't play a few games this year, I will most likely venture to the top of Eureka Tower...and not for the sights. Dog?

Brad Green = Mental and I love him

Amazing, groundbreaking "story." Seriously, how do these guys come up with this crap?

I don't think you can compare AFL umpires with Union refs - especially by simply stating respect is respect. Moving beyond what Kennett said, what's your position on what I just wrote?

Fair enough. Why can I never bury my head in the sand and just pretend to be right? Life's not fair

I wouldn't say it's 100% Why would you waste two ads per set advertising for another one of your tv programs? Why would certain stations buy similar types of shows, setting up a stereotypically "channel 9/10 show"?

I see what you're saying WYL and I do agree, but buying the footy isn't solely buying ad space during the game. It's about adding to your brand and selling your other tv shows so that more may watch and your overall ratings increase.

Though she is the one with the car, so I suppose they will be "ours"

I personally disagree. I feel Kennett's comments were directed at the state of umpiring rather than at the inidividuals who adjudicate the rules - i.e. he was aiming his comments at the AFL forcing the umpires to pay rubbish free kicks that are often very incosistent (for instance, what the bloody hell is going on with the 50 metres penalty for holding someone after they get rid of it? It gets paid probably 1 every 4 times, the other three times the umpires pay a down the field free kick). The AFL has brought this criticism on itself. If it doesn't want its rules to be challenged, it should stop bloody changing them. The more they tinker and change, the more people get angry and start pointing the finger. No offence but comparing AFL umpires to Rugby Union umpires is almost impossible. Rugby Union umpires adjudicate a sport with minimal rule changes and are instructed to use only players numbers and shirt colours when talking to the players - they deserve respect because that is what they demand. AFL umpires are unnecessarily "miked" (sp) and instructed to adjudicate a set of rules that seem to change each week whilst calling players by their not only their names, but their nicknames! How can an official demand respect when they are calling players by their affectionate name?

In: Grimes, Whelan Out: Dunn, Bennel

LOL, thanks for the support boys

Grimes - Where are you? Whelan - Where are you?

If this is what he was thinking, then thank f$%k and get him in the team. A confident attitude and the leadership skills he has, wow. For me, if he meant that, then I'm Gary Ablett

Wow, please tell me you're joking.

I dobbed my fiancee in, and she paid with my credit card...cruel, cruel hilarious world

His backing of the AFL and their "management" of umpiring really underlined the troubles of being a poor club that relies heavily on the AFL.

Saints are flat track bullies - they will destroy us

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW

A few chants....yeah...if they were the same one's I heard they had better be left in the past, and many seemed to feel the same.
