When I worked in our factory many moons ago my mate Geoff and I had to go work on this pig of a machine that a dude called Jamie used to run.
Jamie kept fanging it out and we were working our arses off when Geoff went over to Jamie and said "If you keep putting this machine on flat out I'm taking tomorrow night off work and going to go to your house and f*** the arse off your missus".
Jamie walked off and came back a couple of minutes later with his wallet and opened it up to show Geoff a photo of his missus and then said "What? You'd f*** that?"
Jamie was a skinny string bean and his missus was a huge wildebeest.

Apparently it's clear to Murphy and Carey that the latter wasn't banging the former's wife too.
I don't really have much of an opinion about sledging, other than wishing it would all stay on the field. No sledging kids, sick relatives, or racially vilifying someone is about it for me.
Most reports intimate that Murphy started the sledging with Carlisle (cokehead type stuff), then Carlisle gave it back but his went too far, apparently.
Might've been mentioned elsewhere but the rumours are around no 19 from Saints had a 'run in' with Jessie Murphy and hence his Saints team mates were sledging Marc Murphy about it - hence the animosity during the game.

Too right. I'm a Carlton supporter but Murph needs to grow some balls. If you're going to dish it out then you need to cop whatever comes back.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

Hence why I think the rumour might be true.
Yep you don't respond like he did if it was crap. Must be an element of truth to it.

Your totally missing the point of what this venture was about for Port Adelaide, Its already made the venture worth while via one sponsor at $1m a year for 3 years and I'm sure there are more to come but if worrying about the size of the crowd makes you blokes happy please go ahead......
I say 'Well done Kochie and Port Adelaide, well done'.
I agree, but dispense with the propaganda. "Sell out" my ar$e And filling one area chock a block full of PP supporters for the cameras to scan to when there were large areas with ratios of 1:3 - 1:4 is a scam But you'll be right. With Weatherill and Rucci; you have the biggest spruikers in the business on your side.
At least you're World Champions now
Half the grounds capacity was unavailable as despite being in China they were still using Australian standards in relation to crowd safety with things like fire exits and things like that. With the facilities at the stadium 11k was all that would fit under Australian standards. They're already looking at ways of increasing capacity for next year. So yes, every available ticket was sold

All parties have agreed there was a sledge but denied Carey was mentioned. What part of the sledge was true?

Maybe the rumours of a current Saints player and her?
