If you want to go quickly, go alone.

Fan-bloody-tastic :( :( :( :(

Even if the Power wins, it will do SFA in easing the pain of what happened a fortnight ago.

Still, carn the Powwwaaaa!

Also talked about two breaks in season - one over mother's day round, then split round at round 14. only two sunday games in round 22, so as many teams as possible play friday or saturday, going into finals.

Main issue they need to get right is not showing the same game on 2 channels (Fox and FTA) while another game is being played :evil: :evil: Saturday nights is the classic.....bring back fox footy!

Cool, glad its in Adelaide, my son and I will have a ball wearing our Premiership paraphanalia.
Any chance they can unfurl the flag at Aami instead of at Geelong? :D

Hope there's a Good Friday, in fact even more I hope the SANFL take the bull by the horns before the AFL and do it first.
Why is our sport stuck 50 years behind other sports in regard to this? :?
Such a bloody boring day and it would be great if a footy match is on while I have my traditional BBQ with mates! :D

You'll win as our mob will still be on the piss. Steve Johnson looked terrible the day after the grand final. I'd hate to see what he looks like now!
