If I were him, I'd hide it and say "I gave it away" or "sold it already". You go find it!

It would be irrelevant, because the record books would show that there was no winner in 2012, or that Sam Mitchell was the winner.

And they'd just forge a new one.

Saw a GWS player take a mark near the centre circle and run half the pitch to score a goal. I don't think I've ever seen an AFL game where there has never been a defender in his own half before.

That's how shit GWS are. We didn't even need defenders in our own half.

It sounds like when goalkeepers step up to play the offside trap.

What a game at AAMI stadium. Certainly a lot more noise than you'd find at Hindmarsh.

If Port could kick straight they'd have turned it around by now.

I hate when people say they only enjoy one sport... if you can't appreciate the nuances of different varieties, then I feel people are just too stubborn. There are massive differences in tactics, abilities etc. I don't go out of my way to watch some sports, but still enjoy them for what they are.

I don't watch curling, thinking "this would be better if it was more like football". Take it for what it is.

Except for Motor Racing.. that's just boring. And watching golf.

I never really got into AFL until my son started asking questions about it and decided to look into it. I still don't know a lot of the rules but have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed the games I saw on the weekend.

We gave that game to Essendon. No Watson and half of Stanton yet 3.9 in the last quarter cost us the match. Also a slack second quarter didn't help. For me, we definitely held our own and should have even won it. Good signs though! Lets stick it to hawthorn.
