Just noticed ex-AFL player Fev is gonna be on I Used to be a Celebrity. Interestingly, each celeb gets to pick a charity (presumably there's prize money or something I dunno I've never watched the show) but anyway, looks like Fev has picked the Shane Warne Foundation.

I wonder if he's gonna change his pick to a charity that still exists.

I made the mistake of switching on to I'm A Celebrity for a few mins, Julia Morris had me switching back to the footy at lightning speed.


Should've switched on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend instead, it is a pretty fun show IMO.

Sounds like the first game of the preseason was pretty bad, not that sad it's not on FTA, now.

Did Billy Brownless say more than he was quoted as saying here, or are people really getting him saying a wife 'belongs' to him from him saying other men shouldn't sleep with his wife? (Although if they were in fact divorced, still kind of a silly thing to say.)

"don’t touch a man’s wallet, don’t touch his wife"

Yeah, I cant imagine why anyone is saying he is comparing his ex-wife to property.

I can't either, because saying two things together doesn't actually mean you're saying they're exactly the same.

Also, 'compare' doesn't mean what you think it means.

The one thing making our draft not as homogenous as all the American drafts. Got it.

"No good Friday footy, but hey, Easter Sunday is fine."

Well Good Friday is traditionally a day of mourning, whereas Easter Sunday is one of celebration.

So maybe a match like Essendon vs Melbourne would be appropriate for Good Friday.

Or, since the day commemorates an unfair trial leading to an execution, the previous year's premiers could play a home game against the previous wooden spooners with the most easily swayed referees officiating.

There's a draft and a salary cap.

With regards to best players, Josh Kennedy is the reigning Coleman Medallist, (most goals kicked in a season, and started off this season pretty well with 8) Nat Fyfe and Gary Ablett Jr are widely considered to be the best midfielders, and Alex Rance seems to be one of the most highly rated defenders. You'll hear a lot of different opinions on who is the best, though.

Don't know enough about Pepe to make a comparison.

EDIT: Well crap.
