I thought Booney was keeping a lid on things till I saw his car this afternoon




PS Just kidding, even I know that Booney is too classy to have a Commodore.

I think Titus O'Reilly said it perfectly when he said its like part of our childhod dying.
Very sad at such a young age.
RIP Dean

Yep, after 32 years, the end of the longest running major sponsorship in the League's history.

Only 58 years behind Geelong and Ford.

It'll be interesting to get Brett's thoughts....

Really struggling to get excited about the finals.
I'm content Geelong will win, but just a bit blah at the minute.

I'm the opposite! Excited about the finals but don't think Geelong will win.
Doubly excited because of the SANFL finals too, great time of the year!
Can't wait to be at AdelIde Ovalfor 3 games this weekend watching some of the best in each comp. Going to be a massive weekend.
I'll probably have a different view come Sunday night but at least both my teams have the double chance.

Looking forward to the other matches on TV too, love this time of year when the best clubs are playing.

13 years ago today one side beat another by 119 points.

Been putting off watching the movie based on her life on Stan, might have to give it a look in the next couple of days.
She was huge when I was a little kid.

Whilst closer to 5 mins I agree as long as we get 10k back and start next season with 4 points more than everyone else.

Remember when this was all about flattening the curve.

It was, then things changed, every day things changed.

Nobody answered me the other day, other than some freight issues, sitting to have a beer, some paper work for local footy and the casino being shut for poker, what else needs to be reopened?

Id kill to go see a gig at a packed out Gov
Went to a gig there a month ago, was great as much easier to get a beer when it has limited capacity! 8)

From midnight tomorrow, patrons at outdoor licensed venues will be allowed to stand while consuming alcohol.

A cap of 150 guests remains on private functions such as weddings, but guests will now be able to dance and drink while standing up.

Dancing will remain off limits outside of private functions.

Having my first beer of the day so I'm right!

Kris is a living legend of our football club and imo either number 1 or 2 if you were to rank our clubs greatest servants. Laird being the other person.

You guys would know better than me but I would have thought Stewy (Alan variety) might be in that conversation too?

If I was top 5'ing keeping in mind I was born in 83 so my knowledge / understanding of the impacts of the pioneers is a little understated.

1, Roy Laird
2. Kris Grant
3. Danny Hulm
4. Alan Stewart
5. James & Chris Gowans

unlucky Peter Jonas, John Platten Gary Window, Wilbur Wilson
I'd have Ken Eustice up there somewhere, probably 3rd.

Port supporter: " Got a long way to go home tonight mate"
Me: "Yeah, that 5 minute uber trip is a killer"

Good spirits here though, Port supporters are congratulating me on my guernsey, reckon it's very funny. 8)

Should be a good night. Great spot here 6 rows back for cheap tix, weirdly there's more Geelong fans here in this area, not complaining though.

Good first half by South, should be further in front.

When the going gets tough North get going!

Well done Panthers!
Glenelg had the umps and a quarter with the breeze and the mighty 'Thers still got up comfortably.

Still devastated and will be for a long time. This one really hurts. Football really does seem irrelevant despite him having a great day yesterday. Surreal we were drinking and laughing away hours before he passed

Even when my wife started coming to the footy 3 years ago he was the first to make her feel welcome, he was always the first person to ask people how their kids were going.

I'm an absolute mess atm, loved the guy to bits.

The Sheik and Skeff, RIP both you champs, I love you both, miss you both.

Can't be true as the AFL would have given Hawkins a game if it was.

Great easy win by the North Ressies. Central lost one game in the minor round and have now lost two two finals.
2 GFs next week!

PS Thanks @Booney for the info from someone that hasn't used twitter for years, appreciate the headsup.

Even my daughter hadn't heard of one of them!
I thought Cub Sport might have something to do with Carlton United Breweries or someone had mispelt a special edition Commodore but apparantley I was wrong on both thoughts.

We prefer blue but Eddie complained and got his way.

Congratulations Campbell Combe from North Adelaide!

A good send off for my old mate today, his sons spoke beautifully at the funeral and then after the funeral he did a lap of Prospect Oval while we stood at the Taj and applauded. RIP Holly/Sheik.

I'll have one for you both tonight.

Best wishes to all mate.
Have more than one for me, I had to drop Ian off at the wake as I'm heading to work now. I get to crack one open about 3am. :(

Not good enough against a premiership contender.

There's a gap between the top 4 and the rest.

There's a gap between the top 2 and us.

We'll be back. I love this club. #weareportadelaide

Bad luck mate, they tried their guts out but things just went the wrong way. You were very unlucky Brisbane won their QF and I think you knew then you were in trouble.
Dry conditiions might have changed the result too.
Thoughts with ya, hope you have a good day on the punt tomorrow and hve a good day drowing a few sorrows.

Kind of lucky my team that played in a Prelim tonight lost the game in 6 mins, no heartbreak and gave me a chance to watch the footy! Nothing worse than losing a close Prelim.

Some quality work from Lynch trying to help console a young Power fan last night. I know he plays the villain (personally I love those types in sport) and gets panned for it, hope this particular action doesn’t go unnoticed.
Met hime once and he was rhe nicest Gold Coast player to my son, happy to have a chat, sign autographs, etc.
Been a fan of his ever since.

Forecast temperature of 19 tomorrow!

Probably in a minority but the sooner the AFL implement the last kick/handball rule the SANFL has the better.
Umpires trying to guess the intention of a player is ridiculous.

Proud of my cats, it's pretty obvious the umps will keep screwing them till the momentum is fully in Brisbane's favour.

You wouldn't want both your teams to lose the prelims ;) :lol:

Could be worse, I could be a Crows and West supporter.
At the end of the day Geelong like Canberra and North were outsiders.
10 free kicks to 2.

Blatant cheating so far. Game should have been over.

Nah talking about your other AFL team :lol:
Lost me there, I was barracking for Richmond last night. :?

Awesome half Cats. So gutsy with what we all know what's happening. I've never been so despondent despite leading at half time of a game as it's so obvious what is happening. You would have thought that making us be the only club that had to do 3 hubs would be enough but nup. Geelong have no chance.

Free kicks
Brisbane 11
Geelong 2
FFS put the violin down. Yes you’ve had a rough go, but get on with winning the game. You’ve put yourselves in a winning position regardless of the umpiring, just keep going.
Sorry, I lose my shit too easy. I hate it too. I'm too old for this stuff. :(

Finally after years of me whinging the umpires are wearing white for an Eagles game!!

Even though I predicted it, it doesn't make it any easier, well done and we'll deserved Eagles. I posted on here pre season Jade Sheedy was having a huge influence at Oval Ave and I expected good things. Eagles have been the best team all year and clearly were the best side today. Congratulations WWT, have a great night. Awesome effort in a difficult year.

Yeah I know,I don't have spell check turned on my tablet as well as having a shitty electronic keyboard for my long fingers, as long as it's intent of my posts is obvious I don't care but there has been an influx of spelling Nazis lately (probably follow shit teams not involved in finals) so I'll fix it for you. ;)

Don't back horses too often but thought I'd have a go at the Caulfield Cup Tri, shame it was only $5. I reckon the Sheik got it up for me.

Enjoy your colours goung up on the chimney today lads!
At least I don't have to look at Bays and Port colours on there ever again.

Same here Rusy, last time I went through it I was a wreck and swore I'd never get another dog.
Then I meet my missus and she has a dog who is now mine and follows me everywhere so I'll have to go through it again.
Took my boy to the vet just to get a tooth removed this morning and struggled even then!
Damn dogs! :evil:

Jeremy Cameron

Happy Birthday Booney, all the best.

Final ladder, and the Mighty Gazzamgoo comes from behind to win it in the last quarter!!!
Well done Gazz, you win bragging rights.
Apologies about the delay to update it, I've only just sobered up!

They did in 2006. Funnily enough I was at the ceremony, I took Diss.

No, I meant Woodville pre merger.
Have another look at the chimney.

Ahh, with ya now.

Enjoy mate, that 2nd quarter was something truly amazing to behold!

Geezus, at least meatloaf could sing once. My ears are bleeding!

This is a million times better than the first two attempts of bands.
Should have got them to do the whole set.
