Grand Final day is just about one of the most exciting days of the year, so it would be awesome to see the Dogs there.

I think they will finish top 3.

[dazzler]

Just before one of the morons come online...


Who Cares! :rolleyes:

[namtrak]

come on show your colours

I am!! I support the Bombers, SWMBO follows the Tiges!

[dazzler]

My Tips;


1. BULLDOGS (Pace pace pace.)

2. ADELAIDE (Still strong, great coach but slowing)

3. FREO (Emerging)

4. SAINTS (Talent but no resilience, Clarkes will fall early)

5. MELBOURNE (strong but aging, injuries will slowem)

6. WEST COAST (Drugs/car crashes/drunken fights will make them stumble)

7. PORT ADELAIDE (Dunno, just seem to be okay I guess)

8. BRISBANE (fair dinkum :oo: there on the rebound)

9. Kangaroos (as always :rolleyes: coach will blame everyone else but self)

10. Collingwood (Father son rule will still influence stupid decisions)

11. Richmond ( Getting there but not yet)

12. Sydney (Forgot the "no morons rule"and now have spider. Will return to the old days of giving up if not in front in the 3rd)

13. Hawks (Nearly there, bit young and not strong enough yet)

14. Essendon (coach more intersted in his celebrity status than the team)

15. Geelong (talent but no brains coach)

16. Carlton (Its time to go)

Come on!:2tsup:

DAZZA NEW COACH GOOD THING YES OR NO:?

[Gra]

DAZZA NEW COACH GOOD THING YES OR NO:?

Some overpaid, testosterone fueled moron, will get arrested in a nightclub,:doh: the newspapers and TV will make a big fuss:o, and nobody will truly give a rats a@#$%.....:~



HMMM guess what team I support.... None of them I am an atheist:~:~

#$%$%^ football

[SPIRIT]

Atheist What Do They Play In Vfl Or Something

[dazzler]

DAZZA NEW COACH GOOD THING YES OR NO:?

I think he will strenghten what Thomas had built but there are two things that will get in our way;

1. The players were VERY close to Thomas and the way he was knifed will play in thier heads a bit I think. Like as in history, troops will go that extra mile for leader they love but not one they havent gelled with. Lyon will get the midfield up and running well but that was progressing well anyway.

2. Still not enough time to fix the poor management of player fitness and rehab from the previous 2 seasons.

Saints should have won 2005 and finals in 2006 but they are just frail, cant even blame badluck for most of the injuries and our fitness coach just resigned so that is only gunna get worse.

As long as we finish higher than the swans - god I hate em but dont know why. :D

[SPIRIT]

What About Your Front Line Seems A Bit Hit And Miss Afair
Roo Is To Good To Be Stuck In That Spot

Feel The Same Way About The Pies :~

[Pat]

Footscray!!!!!

Who cares where the rest get!:)

[Carry Pine]

I can't believe all the hype about the Tiges. You guys certainly know your stuff. I hope Gazaly looks in at some stage and puts in a good word for the Crows.

Carry Pine

[SPIRIT]

yep and not one toothless pie supporter anywhere :D

[Grunt]

Gumby, may he rot in hell, is a Collingwood supporter. So is DanP.

They're everywhere and they breed like blow flies.

[macca2]

I support the Eagles and however is playing the Dockers.

Eagles for the flag again in 2007.

[Grunt]

Go Dogs!

It's footy season again. :D:D:D

Spent 30 minutes on the phone with my business partner and we discussed football for the 1st time this year. Every Friday and Monday from now until October. Damn, it felt good.

[Clinton1]

Collingwood should go alright... in the top 8 this year, at least.

I'd like to see them finish higher than whoever Lignum supports :D, Carlton, Essendon, Swannies and Brisbane.... but top 8 will be fine.

[Bob38S]

Just before one of the morons come online...


Who Cares! :rolleyes:

I'm afraid you'll have to pick me :B

I sorry, I just cannot get enthused about any form of hand/foot ball at all [for this read all codes].

The only thing worse is possibly, basketball or horse racing.

But, by all means don't let me stop you blokes having fun - just be patient while I grab my flak jacket, helmet etc before you descend. :;

Now if you were to talk motor racing - Go the V8's :U:U:U

[Lignum]

I'd like to see them finish higher than whoever Lignum supports :D,


Tonight i barrak for the Roo`s :D

And i bet youl be facinated by this fact. Yesterday Joel Bowden said he was surprised that Polak and Kent Kingsly were as quick over the first 20 as Deledio, Tambling and Floey :wink: How goods that :D

[Clinton1]

Sorry Lig.... haven't had the chance to watch any sport (or the opportunity:(() for a while.... so I've no idea what you are trying to say. :~

[SPIRIT]

how hard would it be to set up some sort of footy tip game :rolleyes: :? :?
maybe neil could :? how many would play :?

[Bob38S]

Bring em on....go Holden

Yep at the back of the grid:U

Barely Holden together. Only car which comes from the factory with built in rust as an option.

How can you have any respect for a company which has the king of beasts sitting on its ass [can't spell the correct word as it is not allowed] as a logo - should be stalking, prancing, hunting - only thing worse would be sleeping - Ho Hum. :U:U:U

[Grunt]

how hard would it be to set up some sort of footy tip game :rolleyes: :? :?
maybe neil could :? how many would play :?

I've already talked to Neil about setting up a footy tipping comp. The plan is that I was going to tip in $50 and Neil was going to match me for a winner takes all prize of $100 worth of UBeaut goods. (The loser gets to spend a week naked with )

There are a number of free online footy tipping comps that you can setup sub-comps. I was thinking of using the one from Victorian Teachers Credit Society. These won't be open until closer to the start of the season.

1000's could play

[SPIRIT]

hay u car nutters holden don't play in AFL,,:oo: car racing is soooooooooo boringgggggg around around they go :doh: :doh: you sit at the track here comes a car zip ...and think is that it ..l need a drink

[Lignum]

Im in :2tsup:



Wouldnt be hard. Sign up 2 or 3 days before the first game. :D

Tips in 2 hours before first game of the round. :D

You would be the perfect person to moderate it as its your idea:D

You just post the games and we cut and paste and highlight the winner in bold and you tally it and post a running total :D

Maybe winner can get some ubeaut cream or something :D

And if Thugby supporters want to do the same they just organise their own if they want :?

1000's could playsomthing on this site would be nice so others could join in easy l play on afl tipping but you play people you never talk to
a realy good game is dream team at bigpond AFL site

car racing is soooooooooo boringgggggg around around they go :doh: :doh: you sit at the track here comes a car zip ...and think is that it ..l need a drink

Car racing boring?

Sitting in a lump of metal and plastic and going round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and is very exciting :wink:

[Grunt]

I was thinking just having a link and copy and paste the ladder in to a thread each week. It'll take all the headache out of dealing with it.

[Grunt]

The VicTeach site uses the same software as the AFL site. I've used both over the last 2 years. I was going to use the VicTeach one entirely for selfish reasons. I'll be using the AFL one already with a different user name and no one will know who I am.

[Grunt]

And to keep the masses happy Collingwood are being thrashed by the Roos. :D:D:D:D:D:D

l was also thinking this computer thingy in front of me some could do the work like a poll :? if this sounds dumb im not good at computer stuff cut and paste could test me :B but l can see it wouldn't be to hard to do

[martrix]

yep, for sure tipping comp would be cool. Maybe anyone who wants to can chip in something woody related for the grand prize.

I will throw in some lubberly sets of book matched veneers?:2tsup: :D

[SPIRIT]

[fred.n]

no need to worry Arty, I definately won't worry the front runners:rolleyes: :D

As for the avatar......isint he a beautie:oo: :2tsup:

[Lignum]

It would be an interesting half back line if the Roos Andrew Swallow, Lions Simon Black and the Pies Brad Dick lined up in the All Australian side :)

[SPIRIT]

good one one pat :2tsup: doggies will do ok top4 :roll: hay did anyone watch the richond game l was at work how bad was it :C :C anything good happen :? still tigers for the 8:2tsup:

[Grunt]

I watched the first half. Cats mauled them. Cats looked really good.

Pay no attention to the pre-season as a form guide for the real thing.

[Lignum]

Tiges feilded midgets as all the talls are out, even Tucky rucked for the bulk of the game as Knobhead still isnt fit enough for a qtr. Richo done his hammy:( and the stupid new "no hands in the back rule" will be the end of Gaspar (bet they wish they kept Kellaway) Foley again dominated the center clearances, Browny kicked a miracle goal :2tsup: Lids had a great 2nd half as the leading forward and Polak was ok but didnt dominate. But as Grunt said its only the first game and remember the Cats won last year and fell away :D Roll on round 1 :2tsup:

[SPIRIT]

not a fan of knobs can't string two games together

[Lignum]

Same. Brilliant tap ruckman but totaly useless around the ground and carnt mark or kick. After Staff pulled the pin i was hopeing as a stop gap measure they would have looked harder at Spider or Gardiner (who i rate) Patto has exceptional potential, but most big blokes take upto 5 or 6 years to get their act together. Shame Simmo is injured:( he is our knight in shinny armour:D And Sarge had a good game in the 2`s (a draw, first for the year) He will be a gun for us this year. I still reckon we will make top 8. :wink:

[Shedhand]

And to keep the masses happy Collingwood are being thrashed by the Roos. :D:D:D:D:D:D
Whenever, I see Collingwood and North Melbourne play I'm, reminded of that stupid movie called "Dumb and Dumber"

My tip for first coach to be sacked this year:

Mad Micky Malthouse. Eddie will bone him...

[Grunt]

I thought he already was.

[fred.n]

If only they would get rid of Sheedy
IMO he's been there WAY to long........
A new brush sweeps clean, maybe Hirdy will retire and go to senior coach in one swish of the cleaning process??

[Shedhand]

Unfortunately, I reckon Clarkson will get dumped about May/June after 4 str8 loses and Lethal will come home to see out his coaching career with a Hawks flag in 2008. :2tsup: Although for that to happen mad Jeff K will have to go. Lethal can't stand him.
