Hands out a YELLOW card on that 1st clue. lol

So much for my next guess. Jim Veal

In the year 2030. Our game has changed a little from what we used to watch. Football Ground = Arena Playing area = Pitch Umpires = Referees Commentators = Sports Announcers Footy supporters = Fans Backline = Defensive zones Forward Line = Offensive zones Between both 50 metre lines (perhaps we have gone back to yardage) was known as the centre (now midfield), = neutral zone Out of bounds = dead ball Mark = Catch Kick = Punt Handball = pass Free Kick = stoppage / Penality ---------------------------- Full game =2 x 20 min Quarters : Midweek games (night games only) . 4 Weekend Games (late start- Day / and Night games) MGC (Formerly the MFC home) Now only used for Blockbuster Games AFL National Comp = Divided into conferences MFC as we know it, Now plays at Casey in the Minor League Melbourne Demons = Melbourne Daredevils ------------------------------------------------- More of what we can look forward too MCG now known as ASA (Aust Sportsbet Arena) No walkup admittance, Pre sold annual Sponsor suites (fills 90% of capicity of seating) the other 10% are club / member suites. ASA now holds 2500 Suites each with a max of 30 patrons in each) For an annual fee of $3000 per ann,football fans can subscribe yearly to Sportsbet and have a reserved Suite Players are leased to clubs on a 3 year sponsorship run by Sportsbet. Salary cap has been done away with, in favour of Sportsbet Auctioning off leases to Clubs. Cap on clubs purchasing leases on players on the highend of leases,to keep the conference on a even and competetive basis. Game Day at ASA. 2 hours of pre game entertainment. Rock bands, Dancing girls, Digital music and any other crap tney can come up with,hype blasted thru the suites and outside. Scoreboard updates every 10 mins with the latest odds ie Winner, 1st team to score, 1st player to score, 1st team to get a possession etc etc. Every luxury seat in a suite has a touchpad for placing bets activated with your suite key. Allows to place bets in realtime not just the game, but worldwide,at the touch of the screen. Calling of the Game: (Speakers blasting around the arena with the announcers voices). WELCOME to ASA, tonights blockbuster between Melb Daredevils V Tasmanian Tritons (Southern Conference) 1st announcer "Good evening . big night for both teams in this knockout for this conference, then perhaps a chance to be the last team to be in last group for the playoff." 2nd announcer " Thank you BobbyB, The fans will be loving this, the build up so far as been mind blowing. For the viewers at home, we hope you enjoy the call. Dont forget those at home you can bet in realtime on this game. (TVs are in 3D HD, and have a similar device activated with Sportsbet Box, for betting, same as in the suites) (National broadband) Foxtel, taken over by Sportsbet, is availvable for $3000 per ann for all live sport, or $1800 football only. Sportsbet own rights, markerting etc, ) Kickoff in 10 mins. .. more hype.... Here comes the Tritons, wearing their bright green helmets, The Daredevils will need to hold the Tritions quarterback throughout the game as he has been a damaging player all season. (his stats flash up the video scoreboard, and in the suites and at home) 10/1 for 1st possession 20/1 1st goal. $50 $100 to $2000 unit bets. (1st announcer). yes Junior, one to watch. The daredevils also have Watts guarding the defensive zone, he leads the way in the Mid Conference, with rebounds, and stoppages and having an excellent season. Ok, I have gone to the exterme, and taking the pi$$ Our footy is just fine the way it is. Just keep it basic and stop complicating it any more, and I (we) DONT want to hear or see anything but Aussie Rules when we go to a game! And how about dropping Amercianisms while we are at it.

Lets be honest here... If we are all sweating on the next clue so we can post our next guess, any chance we might need to get outside more often? Just a hunch.

Yeah it is, I think I got it this time. But I cant post it.

That was for the outright lead

doesnt pay to blow your guess too quickly, waiting your next turn is murder but then again, smithy & jack have been on the ball on most of them.

our QM isnt giving much away I think I got it, its going to be a long wait until the next clue, unless WJ nails it.

James Cook

The supporters are making their opinons known. The comment section has been closed. http://www.theage.co...1115-29ej3.html If the AFL refuse and turn a blind eye, then perhaps we request the MFC to speak up on our behalf, as should all suppoerters /clubs and get rid of this crap. Stamp it out, Stomp your feet, and drown out the noise pollution.

John Lord

His service game was renowned worldwide. Many games went to juice.

On your scoring you would end up in the minus Bowled more maidens over than wickets taken in a test. And didnt set foot on a cricket pitch to do it.

The rules committee has reviewed the scoring system. The old system was working perfectly,now we have reverted to changing it on the run. Just like the real AFL. 4 pts scored for the 1st clue : 3 pts for the 2nd clue : 2 pts for the 3rd clue : 1 pt last clue. (9pts = supergoal for guessing who it is before the any clues are given) = just kidding. > Current Standings... 4 (wins) - gsmith12 -- 15 points 4 - Whispering_Jack -- 15 points 2 - stingrays -- 8 points 2 - Deevoted -- 7 points 1 - 45GH16 -- 4 points 1 - DemonWorshipper -- 4 points 1 - Miles From Nowhere -- 4 points 1 - Old Man Rivers -- 4 points 1 - red and blue forever -- 4 points

Morton to West Coast?

Thats the best comeback since Melb Vs Brisbane Rnd 7, 2008.

I am a dubious on your scoring system. I made 3 facts and yourself just the one, And we Share? the points I assume you work for ATO or a bank (1 for you 2 for me)

a drunk, woman abuser, and Robin Hood .. do I get a point?

All that ties in with the clues. I'll hold my guess for the moment. Good get Jack. "I want to be a millionaire" ch9 is your best option after this winds up

I added the clubhouse leaders to my OP I will do the top 3 unless 3rd is tied, 3 names that are clear leaders. Might get a bit long if there are a few names with the same wins. Wont hurt for those interested to keep track of wins, Every bit helps

I considered that last week, but for now only you and I were willing to sit in the chair, jack experessed some interest. Might wait and see if this lasts past much longer than the ND. It was my intention to fill in time until that. A scoreboard would spark some rivally. Clubhouse leader : only the top 3 listed? open for discussions

whew, had a heap to narrow down. I am bridging the gap. Must be only about 20 behind 'big' jack now. PS: nice work R&b had to think hard and long on that one.
