I PM'd you but you might not have got it, because the Awful App is weird with messages, but the video link is broken for the Grand Final highlights package.

Sure, there's like one person that actually wants to watch that again, but still.

Doubt it. I don't think a team has ever gone winless in a season, for that matter.

No AFL team has done it, but 6 VFL teams have done it 13 times in total.

Pretty much the result that I expected sadly but at least it means that Trent Cotchin isn't a brownlow medallist.

What result? Read the bottom of the page, "We're publishing this now but the final status of this Brownlow hasn't been settled". edit: :argh:

Also worth noting that he won the 1999 rising star as a ruck-rover, 2003 Brownlow as a ruckman, and the 2006 Brownlow as mostly a wingman, while kicking 468 career goals from the midfield and as a forward, which is 4th highest for Sydney and 65th highest in league history. Should have had a Norm Smith in 2012 too, he willed Sydney across the line almost on his own in that last quarter. He could do just about anything on the football field, far and away the best utility to ever play the game.

And he did that with a torn PCL for half of the game.

I really thought the Packers could take it all the way this year. About 9 years ago, I did a team swap with a guy in my World of Warcraft guild. He was from Wisconsin and a shareholder of the Packers, so I said I'd support them, and have ever since.


Of course that means he got the Demons. I feel kind of bad about that.

This is pretty cool, using a drone for overhead footage of a match simulation at melbourne training, interesting to see play from angles you don't usually get to (outside of afl finals fever for windows)

Is the video stream erroring out for anyone else? I guess it might have been a live stream and they're finished. The link on the AFL website has the same error.

Honestly, this loving guy oversees this poo poo, get a free year off to France, gets the boot and has his contract paid out and then some rich oval office pays for his legal bills too.

So that's his ASADA bill after their costs were levied against him. Who's going to shell out when his costs for the Federal Court and Full Court appeal come due and it's found that Chubb aren't liable for them? And who's going to pay for this round of legal action after he loses?

I was more talking about people asking for advice on fitness and nutrition. There's a huge resource in the fitness forum that a lot of people don't realise exists and don't take advantage of.

I don't think I could possibly care less about what system of units people use when talking about their weight; the actually important thing is to watch trends from week to week and month to month. Measure your weight in carats and your height in parsecs if it floats your boat.

Yeah, he's complaining about the Swans and AFL not telling Collingwood what they were working towards, making logistics far more difficult for the club and supporters than if they'd let someone know - and that they only found out the game had been moved on social media. He never complains about playing at the SCG (no one in their right mind would) which is how you represented it. Sorry if I hit a nerve there big guy.

What, exactly, do the Swans owe Collingwood?

Except for the Giants, they seem to have realised the seriousness of it straight away. Escorting McVeigh out of the club immediately and then putting in enquiries as to what they can do with him is the exact right move.

The fact that the AFL hasn't given them an answer, even when the AFL knows the answer is "no loving way you shitbirds", and has known since January, just speaks about how terribly they've have handled this whole thing. They've crammed their heads so far up their arses they just think it's all going to go away.

The public transport for Etihad basically implodes if it gets a decent crowd. I don't see how it could be any worse if they aren't retarded.

They would have a crowd arriving for a game at the MCG at the same time a crowd leaves the new stadium and Richmond would collapse into a singularity of bad planning choices.

At both ends of town you're a short walk from a couple of good bars to kill half an hour before getting on a train to avoid the crush, but if you're fighting a crowd coming the other way it would be mayhem. Add that into The Fence at the MCG and gently caress that.
