Kiss of Death

Sounds like Prince may have snuck away to Rio!

Freddy Got Fingered. Cannot stand it. Worse than Plan 9 from Outer Space in my opinion, at least I finished that movie.

I see Rancid's pathetic cheap shot on Watts has been forgotten. Only the fact that Viney 'attacked' him remains.

Needs to think on his feet. Spent 3 quarters being beaten in arm wrestles before starting to move and lead and provide a valid target and suddenly picks up 3 goals. I was getting sick of yelling at him to lead and provide an option in the first and third quarters

Potential Mature-Age Rookie?

Kid had some sweet timing on those shots. Top order should take note.

Well, there had to be a thread that was longer than the cricket one at some stage

I can't remember where the comment was, but there was a whisky discussion somewhere on Demonland a while back (read: months ago, probably in this very thread). Finally picked up one of the mentioned ones (the aberlour a'bunadh) after work today and my mouth is exploding. In a good way. Cheers to whoever those fine gents were *raising glass*

I only like most of those teams if they win (and other people tipped against them).

I think the P word appeared because of the newspaper columns last week. As soon as a coach/board member/bootstudder mentions the P word or even just the F word in the press, the faithful start nodding and agreeing away. Foregone conclusion they say. Anybody tip the tiges yesterday? Had about 15% of people tip them in the work league, seemed a little low, I would have thought more would have a flutter based on the blues' pre-season form.

I love this thread, it's gone on forever. Reminds me of "POINT KICK-INS"! Enjoying the fact that Perth is played so late over here in the eastern states too!

I keep doing double takes while watching the cricket these days.. more than a passing resemblance to Colin Sylvia in my eyes..

Geez, can't buy a ton.

Happy he slid to 34

Speaking about Cricket, how about those Bushrangers eh? I've been listening to Tasmanians having tearies all night. Poor things.

Go you aussies. NZ 1 for 15 off 8 overs... keeping the runs down with tight bowling. Petey Sizzle currently with 1/4 off 4

REALLY happy that i had a lunch to attend and couldn't make it.. what a horrid weekend.

Cmon Dutchy

Very worried we're gonna have a repeat of yesterday tonight!

wasn't me Cricinfo (hasn't Baggygreen turned into a useless website?) let me know that Punter was out, however i've only got the updates, and i'm sure harbhajan getting pointing will have caused riots! Now i just have to put up with my indian mate at work tomorrow... he's already SMSing!

Anybody with Foxtel able to tell me if Harbhajan is rolling around Bangalore?

Cmon you Deshis! Banga about to defeat NZ - they need 7 runs off 35 deliveries right now

I was expecting more hair product from Beamer

It wasn't too bad - dribs and drabs arrived immediately after, they had a big screen up with the Debt Demolition logo, a small stage with some 'beats' being played out by a guy with turntables, pony rides for the kids (which was really cute), a bunch of breakdancers and jumping castles etc. They players turned up around 6:00pm, a lot of signatures and friendly chat behind the grandstand, and then the rest of the players turned up at the front. I saw a lady having a nice chat/debate with Bails about our game plan, and he sketched out a little football oval and showed some details for her! Was really good to have a chat with Brad Miller, he was very very approachable, Cam Bruce was ridiculously distant - almost seemed put out to chat with me. Isaac Weetra was good to chat with, although it was clear a lot of people weren't sure who he was - same with Cale Morton (surprisingly) . PJ says things are feeling good after the surgery but it's still not long after (still had crutches). Moloney looked snazzy in a suit, most players were in tracksuits. Jimmy was there pressing flesh, my god he is tall. There was a rev-up about the Debt Demolition, a quick chat about how we're doing, but i had to leave fairly shortly after that. I do know Bails was going to have mock interviews of a few players, i overheard a support staffer chatting with him (he was to be up next) but i had to leave around then. A little disappointed i didn't stay, i wanted to get a few videos on the snazzy new cameraphone and youtube them. All up there would probably have been 500-1000 people there, but i'm a terrible guess of figures.

Grimey said he was caught out a little by the speed of the game after the match, will be better for the run. Anybody else hear a little cheer around the ground when he got his hands on the ball?
