I tried that earlier in the year. It's like watching a badly dubbed movie. The sound comes a couple of secs before the vision. I can usually blank out cr@p commentary but I'm sick of the idiot directors who call for all the close-ups of players pimples with the result that you can't see wtf...

Tomorrow 11am

I have a question: how many seats have to be sold at aami before you start paying the same amount for pretty dud seats? I got my lions collingwood one on Monday am and am stuck up in the southern stand behind the goals (perhaps a lesson to not buy on the net). It's the main reason I bought...

I'm puzzled by the "it's a matter of physics" argument. Are you saying this is the first time that someone has been tackled in the action of kicking a football? I'd have thought it happened occasionally during the game. It's been a while since I've taken an interest in the minitae of Rugby...

An earlier poster suggested something outside the box - csrap all finals. We could go teh other way and revamp the finals. There is certainly nothing sacrosanct about them. Perhaps teh first two weeks could be a home / away final. If series tied, highest ranked team goes through. To keep...

Hi, not wanting to butt into a friendly exchange of viewpoints but didn't Australia change its colours a few years back from blue and gold to green and gold. Strange I haven't noticed much reduction in passion for the Australian Olympic team, cause they still seem to be Australian. Side...

Hi, Lions supporter lurking. I think I agree with just about everyone that the deliberate kick OOB was inconsistently applied on Saturday night. I also think that Scott's kick was deliberate. Perhaps an easier way of determining intent for a deliberate OOB is if teh ball is kicked in...

If they wrap the series up early, can we expect a youth policy for the last couple of tests? Lehmann is not teh future of Australian cricket

The kid seemed to be playing OK in attack until he was almost killed against Melbourne at Colonial a couple of years ago. At teh moment both he and McGrath seem to playing well within themselves in terms of risk taking. Bolton got burnt badly against Carlton last year, as a few did. The...

So your worst case is to plan for Headland bouncing around bottom teams for a couple of years or that an experienced AFL player is as bad an injury risk as a 17 yo. After teh draft, when could the team that picks up Headland on-trade him?

Hopefully we can house many viewpoints under the roof of the Brisbane Lions. I personally have no problem with celebrating our joint history. I have no connection to teh old FFC but feel nothing but joy that the current club can be the vehicle to remember a foundation club. I don't like the...

This is getting good - what happens if the ball hits the goal post and pinballs against players as it falls to teh ground. How many points are awarded? Who does teh counting? Even better get a loose player in teh square and keep kicking it into the post until the opposition run to you...

I was reading recently about advances in medical science that may help retired footballers to be able to walk without pain. I believe Dunstall was unable to walk (or maybe run) without pain for a number of years after retiring. A footballer earns money directly from teh code for say ten...

I'd have thought the most marketable guy on teh list was Charman - given teh dearth of ruckman in some sides it would be interesting to see who other clubs would offer. Of course, we would never trade him as it would place enormous pressure on McLaren. In teh same basket (ie.e, merely bait)...

Re earlier suggestion of lace up jerseys - I think they would be a bit dangerous. Given the discussion on teh main board about jersey clashes and the material currently used in jerseys, there may more incients of mistaken identity if these Foundation games are played at night.

Which is when the Wizard Cup match between Brisbane and Melbouren occurred. The players would need to run around with drips in their arms teh entire time. Why would the AFL relocate someone against established teams in developing States when existing expansion clubs in football States are...

That's a friendly first four games

First, I have no (well few) problems with Eddie commentating Collingwood games. From teh rumours I heard (all unsubstantiated), the amount of video footage that was retained at teh time of the Buckley striking charge did nothing except increase the spectre of COI. I would prefer if he didn't...

IMO the Federation game celebrates the origin of the VFL with the jerseys worn at that time. As a result, teams that joined later don't get to wear the 1887 jerseys. The Brisbane Lions (and the Brisbane Bears) fall into that category -as do the WA/SA teams, Footscray, NM, Hawthorn (please...

They could go very silly as well with chopping around teh rounds. A few years ago the NRL had a weird draw where teams played each other a couple of weeks apart. Not sure what it was trying to achieve.

The most interesting question is, who plays Geelong in Round 21? That way we can start our Brownlow betting early

If it was flu they'd play and get thrashed I thought this was a common problem for Australian cricketers on teh sub-continent

I know someone who got married in 1990 on GF day much to the chagrin of her many Collingwood supporting family members.

All of above Is it my imagination or has this week really slowed down? The days as we get closer to teh end of the week.

I wouldn't watch the celebrations at the end, but watching clashes and match-ups is always worthwhile ... until teh inevitable blow-out occurs. If you're in a group then there is usually one person to have a good natured bait with at this time.

The national anthem at rugby is also a bit of club song. It's sung at the opposition - certainly supporters do. Thsi all adds to the noise and atmosphere. There is no similar point at teh start of an AFL game as it's everyones song. I still agree that it looks impressive. It possibly also...

Does this mean that Melbourne Park will only be used if Brisbane win?

The set-up and what you intend to do look fine. But I'm no designer, and I am using 1028 x whateversettings . The content is in a stripe in the middle with large (1" border each side) on each side. The dot points down the bottom have (consequently?) drifted left off the left hand grey...

Cloke didn't miss - he was just too efficient. If he'd done it badly, he'd would have gotten off.

Given the noise in the Brisbane room, the clubs could probably earn a little bit on teh night selling entry to supporters. Mind you the Vic clubs wouldn't be happy missing out on that sort of action.
