"Today is not finished until tomorrow commences"






TODAYS JOKE

Round 20 Wrap

August 18th 2008 08:50
With Round 20 out of the way we are now two weeks from the start of the 2008 AFL Final Series. The competition is certainly starting to hot up, so let’s have a look at the results from the weekend.

Collingwood and Port Adelaide kicked off the round on Friday night at AAMI Stadium, with the Magpies running out easy winners by 29 points. Port Adelaide's season was declared over a long time ago by coach, Mark Williams, and it is becoming increasingly obvious their heads are onto 2009 already. While Collingwood were never challenged in the match, it must be said that their opposition was not the strongest. Their big challenge will be Sydney this week, it is a must win game for them to consolidate their position in this year’s finals

Aussie Aussie Aussie - Oi Oi Oi

August 13th 2008 11:35
The 2008 Beijing Olympics have crept up on us all. I don't think I was alone when I say that I was not buying into the hype leading up to these games and wasn't all that excited about watching them. But we are Aussies, and nothing keeps us from our sport!

I must admit, since the Opening Ceremony on Friday night - I have been glued to Channel 7, watching every possible minute and every possible event. As much as a sport fanatic as I am, I wouldn't think twice about changing the channel to avoid watching a swimming or equestrian meet, but there is something about the Olympics that changes all that in us. We feel like it is Australia versus the world and we cannot get enough of it! We are an extremely patriotic and proud country at the very worst of times, but an event such as the Olympic games emphasises this to an extent not even I can believe

100 Goals - To Run or Not to Run....

August 13th 2008 10:48
The debate has heated up today over whether fans should be allowed to run onto the ground to celebrate the 100th goal of a player. As Hawthorn superstar Lance "Buddy" Franklin, and Carlton spearhead Brendan Fevola close in on the monumental achievement it has sparked pleas from the AFL for all fans to keep off the ground in the interest of safety for all involved.

It has been a time honoured tradition that fans race from every corner of the ground to celebrate the milestone of their hero. It has been four young years since we have seen a player kick 100 goals, Fraser Gherig brought up the ton against Port Adelaide in a Preliminary Final in 2004. We have to go back 10 years to find the last player to kick 100 goals in the regular season, Tony Lockett in 1998. With the modern game continuing to evolve, the old fashioned Full Forward has become a thing of the past - which makes Franklin's and Fevola's achievements this year so much more impressive

Tanking Revisited

August 12th 2008 11:41
As we near the end of Season 2008, there is no better time to reflect on the year that has been. We have seen an influx of gossip, headlines, and controversy this year and arguably one of the biggest stories is that of 'tanking' reports.

We all heard champion ex-Bulldog and Brownlow Medallist, Tony Liberatore give his story and opinion on events that took place towards the end of last season during his time as an Assistant Coach with Carlton. The unprecedented uproar that followed this story led great debate throughout the football world and fingers began pointing at other clubs possibly guilty of 'tanking
