Would be devastating for Aus rugby to drop a team now. Cities are just too far apart for one team to support multiple regions, would be a ruinous blow to rugby in whatever state lost the team.

Force pip Highlanders 19-18 in Perth

That’s the approach you want to take to this discussion?

Really?

What on earth.

Well, that relieves some pressure for McCartney.

They got taken to the cleaners by another triple-digit number at number. Wouldn’t you be drinking?

They make you go to Wales? You poor buggers!

Racism is prejudice backed by power, and not just of the legalised variety. It’s people with power exercising it against those who have less and can be anything from passing discriminatory legislation (like the US narcotics laws that criminalise the powdered form of cocaine popular with WASPs to the crystalline form most common amongst African-American and inner city communities despite being the same stuff) to taxi drivers dodging dark skinned passengers.

And was frog-marched out with a club CEO coming down to personally apologise to the player in question.

Your posts aren’t deleted because of being right or wrong – your posts get deleted because you are a code warrior first, second, and always and any occurrence of being “right” is by happenstance alone.

A significant day for AFL race relations

Particularly upsetting to see from someone whom I very much doubt is out of high school. At least when it comes from an old bugger you can say “well, they will die out soon and be replaced by a more tolerant generation”. This IS that “more tolerant” generation!

I will say I was impressed by Eddie’s response. I’ve hung a lot of crap on that man but he did the right thing today.

Feel for Adam Goodes; he shouldn’t have to put up with that, especially not during a weekend like this. Especially with the tremendous performance he put in today.

Twenty years ago, Nicky Winmar takes a stand after being racially abused by racist Collingwood supporters in the outer at Vic Park.

New millennium, new home ground, new away team.

I dunno. This country lies to itself so often and so comfortably about its problem with race relations.

Yes, I’m feeling hopeful – with any luck we get some of those 10,000 FootballWest invitees back.

A-League 2013-2014 draw unveiled, with FTA considerations

Probably not dissimilar to the situation with Subiaco Oval and Glory – apparently the terms were very generous, just so the administrators could get some summer use. No doubt this is part of why the new stadium project is designed to take on T20 stuff, as well as having bump-in seating and the like.

Should help reduce the melanoma counts 🙂

It seems so simple on the base of the rules – if you get tackled after having had an opportunity to dispose of the ball, you’re gone. Otherwise, its a ball-up. Its the waiting to see if it comes out that I think is the problem; doubly so as it gives time for more waves of players to arrive at the ball.

My open-letter to AFL supporters

Gerard Whateley, Dennis Cometti and Gerard Healy are the three pundits I respect the most. Mike Sheahan is up there.

Robbo is … depends on the day, very hit or miss, but when he’s on he’s very bright for a potato.

“F##k the ball, get into ’em!”

Perth Glory’s Home End and Shed Memberships just came out 😀

Home end is down to $206! Was $250 last year and $300 the year before that!

Can the Victory reach 50,000 and beyond?

Yarp, was the principal home-end/away support group for the Socceroos. Kind of got shafted when the FFA started shifting around their ticketing. GGA wasn’t much, but it was something, and in the end the FFA replaced something with nothing.

An abysmal state that probably reached its zenith when we were sung off the terraces in the previous-round WCQ at AAMI Park against Saudi Arabia.

Heh, teams lost more than heritage in the grounds rationalisation move.

West Coast Eagles vs North Melbourne: AFL live scores, blog

Combine these two close games with the Brisbane game this morning and the Subiaco game last night, and add in Gold Coast notching up another established scalp and we’ve had quite the weekend so far.

Collingwood vs Geelong: AFL live scores, blog

Amazed that Freo could pull even the two points out.

Thought they were absolutely gone.

Fremantle Dockers vs Sydney Swans: AFL live scores, blog

Yeah, has that going for it. Very empty feeling when it all ends in a draw, of course.

ARGH, HOW DID THEY LET THAT SLIP, THEY WERE FREAKING GOLDEN

Collingwood vs Geelong: AFL live scores, blog

Two wins for Queensland teams, both very good wins (particularly Brisbane’s!)

Now to see if WA can make it 2/2 and Geelong can hammer the Pies, and my weekend will be motoring along very well indeed (particularly after the Bunnies’ friday night game).
