Great game to watch, especially in a parochial Brisbane crowd who refused to see the funny side of Australia being flogged. A pity that Australia will probably remember how to play by the final.

Cool so Bodene Thompson had as good of a season as I thought? Could be a shrewd buy, but goddamn that Foran thing just sours it. Maybe Foran is in the final stages of signing too and Watson got confused....yeah that must be it...:negative:

Yeah he was consistently good and played in a lot of positions.

Clearly we should get rid of him.

Looks like we might be getting live Channel 9 Sunday football next year, but lol at Nine's director of sport "wishing they broadcast in HD" and saying everyone had to work together to get the ideal situation of live football. No, you're the fuckwits who love delayed football and you already have an HD channel you refuse to use.

I'm fairly certain from what jt has said that they have some targets in mind but they're not available yet (or they don't want to tip anyone off, at least). It looks like Anasta is talking about third party deals signed under the old CEO and hopefully they get sorted out soon. Bad, but not as bad as it first seemed.

After seeing the deterioration of their cricket coverage I'm thankful that we have at least a couple of adequate league commentators left on 9 in between the buffoons, cricket doesn't even have that small mercy anymore.

Cricket hasn't had that luxury in ten years, from my recollection.

At least league has a variety of biases in the commentary booth so it's a little interesting to hear interpretations of events (except for Gus ignoring the video he's watching and forgetting any semblance of the rules so he can rail against whatever nonsense he is angry at this week).

There's been a worrying lack of scandals this offseason; I'm waiting for something big to come out and shatter the peace. Considering everything that's come before I assume the natural progression is for someone to be found guilty of necrophilia.

I'm pessimistic about the Tigers' chances but that's only because I've seen them play every other year and know that they are terrible and also all we've done in the offseason is sell our better performers and try not to get injured.

Mills, if you make the thread I'm expecting something special - I put a lot of effort into making derogatory comments about the Tigers and will be very sad if there isn't a similar level of effort put in to telling the world how much of an abortion the team is.

Mother-in-law got my wife (the actual fan) and me the top bracket of Season Tickets for the Titans. It feels very dirty to see my name on the back of the membership card. On the upside, the first game we get to see is the Tigers game so at least I can look forward to that before seeing the other 11 home games of Titans dreck.
