Dr. Gonzo

Hogan isn't taking 47 goals. He didn't create those goals from thin air. In many cases if he didn't kick those goals another player would have.

Does the Pope [censored] in the woods?

Hunter S Thompson is one of my favourite writers and Dr Gonzo is an alias he uses for his friend/attorney Oscar Zeta Acosta in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. As the originator of Gonzo journalism one of my favourite quotes of HST's is "buy the ticket, take the ride" which is what it's like to follow this club. In it to the death for better or worse. I love the way he communicates a seriousness/truth shrouded in nonsense/surrealism in his writings On BigFooty my username is Demonic Ascent chosen in 2006 when I thought we were about to experience the Ascent of the Demons - I was a little off on that one....

Anyone know if they will be archiving games for viewing On Demand? After a game is finished is it available on demand for a week, month, year, forever? Also no NFL On Demand (only live) is a killer. All in all though $25 a month is pretty good compared to the $120 or so I pay currently for iq2 and an extra standard box with all channels.

Didn't they have the $1 memberships? How many of those actually paid up by the end of the year? Are these audited AFL figures or the club ones

You probably need the ATV4 I don't think the 3 has the app store

This isn't greens it's NIMBY's

@Macca I always thought you were a 49ers fan but sounds like you're a cheesehead?

Steelers Panthers Texans

Having said that I also think the Panthers were being overrated a tad. Their wins haven't been all that impressive

NO EXCUSES!!!

People could be sleeping on the Steelers a bit, they have some very good weapons on offense and solid line players. Everyone's expecting a Pat's/KC AFCCG but I wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion. Anyone but the Pats please.

Saints Pats Chargers

Seriously how does Garrett still have a job?

I thought the Saints were a good bet today, rams haven't impressed the last couple of weeks just scraping past Denver and Green Bay. Let's see if they can regroup for the 2nd half of the season, nothing worse than being October champions.

Tough week to pick road teams Gonna go with Bears Chiefs Texans Would love to pick my Jets as we tend to win down in Miami after losing at home to the Fins but not too confident with the amount of injuries we've had

I agree but pretty sure it's in the ballpark of $1m a game - we'd have to get a crowd of 80k minimum at the G to come close (probably closer to 90k). And that's without factoring in these games would be played at Docklands which we'd never get close to that return Plus we have to come up with extra dollars to make up for the lost revenue we were getting from the pokies (we wouldn't have made any profits in recent years without that). I'd say we'll be playing there for the next few years at least.

It looks like a tough draw now but this time last year getting Adelaide twice looked tough as well. Commercially it's great that's as much as you can hope for from the fixture. Competitively if we're good enough we'll win. Prefer a battle hardened team than downhill skiers

The benefit is the $$$ we pocket

If we didn't sell home games we'd have 5 games interstate too. Can't complain when it's our choice

When they click they can be very good but a flag? I see top 4-6 as their ceiling. Fact is Bombers sell so of course spring/summer articles about the Bombers being flag favourites are going to draw eyes. Same things were said last year, how'd that turn out.
