Hey Kerrie, NAB cup doesn't count, so we have a little bit of time to wait!

I really hope the Crows beat the Hawks - C.Brown to miss round 1 will give us a little bit more hope in winning that game (already missing crawf, hodge and lewis).
Go Dees!

What a game between the Bombers and the Saints, down to the wire. So can't wait till the actual season starts.

Didn't catch it unfortunately but both teams looking not too bad at this stage of the year.
Happy with the Crows efort but not ecstatic. Still lapses in their game but for March, things look good. Will get out to the game this weekend and hopefully see a trophy being lifted
How good is Buddy Franklin? Honestly.
Interesting to see Paul Roos under inverstigation for allegedly telling one of his players to "go forward, but don't kick a goal"

Well, Adelaide vs St Kilda
If anyone watches, you may see me after the game! Volunteered to help out (so we got free tickets). Basically, once the presentations aredone and the team does their lap of honor or whatever, i help take the podium apart and cart it off.
Apaarently 11,000 fans watched Carlton beat the Bulldogs 13.15 (93) to 12.12 (84) in Chris Judd's first game in a Carlton jumper.
Juddy had 20 touches and kicked a goal. Fevola icked 4 but Andrew Walker was injured and Marc Murphy is on report. For the Dogs, Scott Welsh kicked 3 first half goals and Akermanis was named best ahead of Brad Johnson.
Port and Freo clash today at Norlunga oval today south of Adelaide - It's going to be 39 degrees. Good luck to them.

Only one demon Steve? and a rookie at that? Wonaeamirri won't get a game unless a player goes on the long term injury list, and even then there's three other rookies he'll be competing with for a senior spot. With luck like we had last your you won't have to wait long for him to get a game.

After a couple of changes, McNamara and Morton are on my reserves list also, I stuffed up with Wonaeamirri and the rookie list thing, damn!

Tragic - Seems i can't edit yours! Which is odd because i'm sure they have let that be done in other years...
Away teams might be an ok option though, which is what you will get

yeah how awesome was it last night having the footy on TV again. Yay for things on TV to watch. It was hard to watch Judd play last night, seeing him play for Carlton was tough and just weird. But in a way Im happy, because now the Eagles can prove they are more than a one man team. So can't wait for Saturday night now!

Not sure what to expect from Adelaide this Sunday, it's one that could go either way
Brad Johnson is playing his 300th game, but what most wouldn't realsie is that Tyson Edwards is also - The bloke must be one of the most underappreciated players in the game.

Altough that Crows lost hurt - There were still a lot of things to take out of it.
Don't get me wrong, a loss is a loss, and i was very dark, but the way the kids went about it, and the new attacking style (3rd highest score for the round) were big positives
For Bombers fans, Scott Lucas out for a couple of months at least is a huge blow!!

I did enough gloating to the guys in Sydney, but to say i'm happy with Adelaide breaking the West Coast curse the way they did is an understatement.
and Port going down the way they did is even sweeter, hehe

The Eagles losing has been very COSTLY for me! I had them in an 8-way standard multi, and if the Kangaroos win, then I will have got 7 out of 8, with only the Eagles letting me down! It was paying $45 too. I also had them in a 4-way with the Lions, Hawks and Swans. That was paying $12. Costly.
