Annoying isn't it?

On another footy forum I read it's usually: "did you see the back of the Herald Sun? OMG OMG OMG"

Life FM have come along way from when they 1st started doing SANFL footy i used to hate it when the sturt games were on life but now they ar just as good a RPH

[spell_check]

Well done to the LifeFM crew, considering you guys are only one of two regular broadcasters (and do a fine job of it), you deserve the credit for it.

Even if it was it would be fitting imho ... Pre-Crows days he gave plenty of exposure to the SANFL, credit where it's due.

[sturtpeter]

Sorry.

should have been precise in my opening comments.

[Big Phil]

[Lunchcutter]

Just a continuation of your "I know something you don't know" theme SP.

Well done Life...and good to see Soders getting some recognition for his efforts...
