The bad news is the Cats normally lose when playing on my birthday
Hawks are good things
Matty Wade is a star and deserves more respect from the forum family!

Dont worry about the debate on Petrie being the worst 300 gamer ever, Firrito is hands down the worst to play 274 games, i couldnt believe he had played that many.

Rough on the true club greats to have Firrito mentioned along with them I reckon.

Farewell to an absolute champion of the game.

He's no Ken McGregor though.


Obviously, Chris Groom deserves a mention there too.

WTF AFL? Why should the 6v7 teams get the most days to recover after week 1 of the finals?

I'd think the teams that win the top 4 qualifying finals would have longer off ;)

Yeah mate I wouldn't know what it's like to finish in the top 4 because I'm a ******* Crows supporter....

Seriously though what a disgrace that they get a longer break than the losing top 4 side.

How do the swans not get the Thursday??? How does a low ranked final side get the longest break??
