There are reports that up to a dozen football fans are excited about raffle specialist Brent ‘Boomer’ Harvey beating Michael Tuck’s game record this weekend.

“I suppose I should be excited; it is an amazing record,” said footy fan Elise Mayberry.

“I assume North fans are excited. I’ve never met one, so I’m not sure but you’d think they would be.

“I just wish it was someone else you know? Like anyone else.”

Long time Kangaroos fan Bertie McNichol said Boomer had always said he was motivated by the haters.

“No wonder he’s played so long then. He could play until he’s eighty if that’s what gets him going.”

Hawthorn fan Derek Suarez said he was disappointed Michael Tuck’s record was being broken.

“I guess this is what people mean when they say it’s tough being a footy fan. As a Hawthorn fan I never really understood what that meant.”

“This has left me feeling pretty flat. Don’t worry about me though. The annual premiership always cheers me up.”

A spokesperson for North Melbourne said there had actually been a huge amount of interest surrounding Boomer’s 427th game.

“We even sold one of those commemorative jumpers the other day, which I can tell you is a busy week for us.”

Couldnt have put it better myself

Wedgie is right. Once Ebert goes the only thing Port Adelaide about the Power will be Alberton oval. You can 'one club' it all you like but you sold your soul and your existence to form an AFL entity that was referred to last night (admittedly during the Cricket with non-SA commentators) as 'South Australia's Second AFL team', I had visions of Booney wincing when the commentator said this.

In before ' Redlegs rooted the SANFL'. Can't argue there.

Edited for accuracy

LOL. Go back to talking about Port Crowds. The league was rooted long before then. The Vics sucked us in badly from 1987 on.

Are you the anti-Jacko?

seriously would the game be any worse off if there was no ruck rules apart from any high contact is a free. Absolute lottery atm

Any coincidence that Port had a huge win and Hartlett didnt play, imagine what couldve happened if they dropped him 10 weeks ago.

My mail is he is no certainty to be there next year, the only sticking point will be getting another club to take over the last 5 years of his contract. Lucky there is still Richmonds in this comp

Tom Lynch if not already is going to be a genuine star of the comp

Yep could be the best player in the comp within 2 years, if Gold Coast ever get their act together in the midfield

Younie left the game at 3 qtr time to go to the main event. Cnut.
Even the coach knows it's a crock of shit. Honesty is the best policy.

Can not wait to hear Rowy and Bicks pull themselves over reasons why Younie left the game at half time

i am sure it will be completely justified !!! :roll:

This is the lowest of all time lows this one!!!!

They'll just have a crack at the SANFL about the programming

I don't think there's enough credit being given to Shayne and Marc, not just for the unusual spelling of their names, but also the absolute commitment to spreading themselves around so many clubs. They've done a remarkable job, have probably seen more of SA and grass roots footy than most of us.

Also shows a very significant commitment to learning the words to club songs.

Maybe thats why Mitchell went to Callington late in his career

The worst

The AFL giving the Hawks a dream run again
Thursday night footy
The umpiring 'rule of the week'
The Bye rounds
Week off before finals
Score review - should be All or nothing at all venues

The Good
Some of the teams that have been closer to the spoon than the 8 in recent years heading in the right direction.
The closeness of the top 8

Do you mean the draw by us having all our double up games against teams below us on the ladder?
Or having the 2nd most 6 day breaks?
Or the most interstate trips out of all the Victorian teams?

I am shocked that it took 13 posts before a Geelong fan mentioned the Hawks and even more shocked that you are still the only one. Does this mean there is a sense of resignation amongst the also rans?

how long until we get rolled?
9 wickets to go Benny

Lucky to make lunch Day 3 what a fricken debacle.
This Sri Lankan side is the worst they have put out in a long time.

And the sledging from our bowlers was a disgrace, when you are getting pumped like we are i reckon ya just shut up, just makes them look like bad losers doesnt it Jim ;)

Love the commentator taking the piss talking bout an extra half hour to finish the game tonight

Didnt they just sign Boof for a few more years? :roll: :roll:

And as for sending in nightwatchmen, Thats just a sign of weekness.
FFS No, 1 team in the world are sending out bowlers to do batsmens jobs,
Quite simply PATHETIC and you deserve to be embarrassed with such negative tactics.
Australia became No, 1 in the 90s by taking the game on, not hiding behind a rock.
Not to worry, have a home series coming up and they'll all be heroes again batting on spinless roads
Agreed and thought the same. Sending Lyon out there was bullshit, definitely a weak tactic. You're a top order batsman FFS you should be good enough to handle it so get out there, face the music and make some runs.

Kahwaja showed how piss weak he is mentally, his dismissal on top of the decision to send Lyon in backs it up

Who's Dan McCullen, genius?

Umpires keeping Melbourne in it now, Vandenberg misjudges a leap and gets a free for it

Imagine if Sydney and GWS finished top two. It would be a disaster for the league. They need the sponsored Victorian team to finish top so the bandwagon fans and their pets hit the G for their annual pilgrimage. They'd like to see the Crows in 5th as well so the Oval is packed. In order to keep Fraudthorn up top the umpires have had to work overtime this season but they've duly delivered in matches against the Bulldogs, Saints, Crows, Roos and now the Demons. It's pretty obvious today because the Hawks are badly missing Frawley who has done a great job covering Lake.

By giving an already great player like Cyril RIoli his own rule book and paying tricky touch woods to Ceglar while Bernie Vince gets nothing for getting his nose broken the league have displayed thier hand. unlike the 2012 and 2014 Preliminary Finals , they aren't even trying to hide it any more. This Fraudthorn side could not beat Geelong 2007-2011, Brisbane 2001-2004, Essendon 1999-2001, North and West Coast of the 1990s and certainly not the REAL Hawthorn gun team of the 80s.

Fraudthorn are as plastic as the teams that helped them create this second rate dynasty. They guard space and play pathetic uncontested football. Any dominant side should be good to watch but this team isn't. When it gets tough they play unsociable which just means they get away with shit that other teams can't get away with. Even if this club wins six in a row, after the commentators have stopped masturbating history will remember them as a highly successful team during the weakest period the game has ever known.

Hawks by 22, I reckon Melbourne are tiring.

REB

Are you ok mate, do you need someone to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen.

Warning: Anybody who disagrees with the genius that is Wubbsy, Booney or Crows fans will be labelled a troll. You're both entitled to your opinions as am I but its wrong and I'm right.
If its not a player swap similar to what I'm proposing its pick 3, he's got 10years left as a top liner.

Hamley Bridge the newest club to join the BLCA. They have reformed after a 6 or 7 year break. Will be in A3 and A5

You Power blokes keep coming up with good excuses to abandonwagon, I'll give you that much lol


And Days I've been a paid up member since Port joined I rarely miss games I've stood in crowds of 12-13 thousand pissing with rain losing to Carlton I've seen plenty of bad mate.

Sorry Carey was posting on my phone and couldnt do a wink, had to settle for a lol. Anyone who buys a season ticket has a right not to go if they wish, up to the club to put on a performance you cant miss

If Hawkins gets games then Sloane is goneski

Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk

how are they even remotely similar. Jumper punch vs spoiling.

Youre right they arnt remotely similar, a better comparison is Jonas. Both late, both had the same intent Only difference is the result of the action which brings Sloane down from 6 to 3.
If the Crows were to make the Grand Final would they bring Sloane in after not playing from now until then?

Totally agree. Would love to know if Booney's opinion of him has changed at all in the last week.

Yeah just what we all want, more of Booneys opinion

I did enjoy us just taking the piss for 3 hours giving the Crows fans some hope

Booney wrote:Petrie and Dal Santo "greats"?

Dont worry about the debate on Petrie being the worst 300 gamer ever, Firrito is hands down the worst to play 274 games, i couldnt believe he had played that many.

The bottom line here is that this was an absolutely common sense decision by the SANFL. CEY has missed two SANFL games all season and replaced a suspended player otherwise it would have been one. The permit system is in place for exactly this sort of situation, so it is completely within the rules and by no means an abuse of the system. Absolutely the right and logical call.

But youre quite happy for Seedsman to play even though he hardly played SANFL. Common sense would also mean he is ineligible as it does for Sloane and Smith. You cant work your logic both ways, hypocritical flog

matt35 wrote:Correct; Seedsman does not need a permit. Seedsman is eligible, as are Smith and Sloan, because, as was the case for Port in 2014, finals qualification rules do not apply until the team is eliminated at AFL level.

We'll just use the rules when it suits you then.

Is there any mathematical/computer programming wizzes amongst us?

I need to know if its possible to do a cricket draw simultaneously for 4 grades, with team numbers of 8, 6, 8 and 12 in the 4 grades.
It involves an A grade team and B grade team from the same club in 2 of the grades so sharing of ovals and avoiding clashes is a must.

The MyCricket program doesnt allow me to incorporate the 6 team grade into the draw. It must have between 7 and 12 teams to be able to work out a draw simultaneously

add a 7th team called "bye" that plays at a bogus home ground

would that work?

Thats sort of what I have done now, havnt had a chance to look closely to see if it works.
Added another 2 team so its an 8 team draw, just have to manually edit the matches involving the 2 bogus teams,

Just adding one team would also work as it automatically generates the bye

Wow, the league is saved! Crows and Port are happy.

You'd think they'd get the Captain on rather than some nobody

Me and days very rarely agree on everything, but we have a mutual dislike for the cows :)
That's not hard, all football fans and South Aussie's dislike the Crows and this is a South Aussie football site!

Its about time the pride of South Australia was removed from their song, theyre far from it.
Yeah, maybe. Hawthorn will always be the happy team while they get the ride from the umps though

Yeah AFL possibly have a tough decision to make if we get to GWS. What do they want more Collingwood to remain as the only 4peat team or declare the venture to GWS a success with a flag. Tough choice ;)

What a let down this game is after the first 3.
Baaaaaaaalll every faaarking tackle.
What a match up, Petrie vs Hartigan, one for the ages

Crows easy faves for Saturday. Theirs to lose
Geez, out in straight sets 2 years in a row would constitute a massive failure and surely put the heat on Longmire
No heat on him... We like being the underdogs :)
Should be a ripping game, but like I said, crows should be easy faves


How bout you blokes grow some and back your team in instead of worrying bout being embarrassed if you lose
I for one think we will smash the puppies along with the dreams of all you losers who take a 2nd team because youre side is on end of season trips. Then when everyone jumps on the Giants wagon the week after we'll crush those dreams too.
Hawks v Sydney for mine.
If im wrong more than happy to take it from all the Bulldogs/Giants fans ;)

End of discussion..

We are clearly debating this so Eddie comes out on top for Benny.

Qualification
- must be on Adelaides list
-must have played at Carlton 1st

This narrows it down to Troy Bond, Troy Menzel and Eddie Betts

Further qualification criteria
-No Troy's allowed

Winner Eddie!!!

Yeah lets get a few crowtards together to fix the game said no one ever!!

Well done to the Dogs, well played, the Bruest miss to put us 5 goal up was costly.
Bont great, Macrae smashed us especially when you consider the output from our wingmen.
No Roughead all year was the key, did well to be at the top at r21.

Nuggety Goodness you're welcome to go your hardest and good luck next week,

The rest of ya can go fornicate with yourselves.

All Sydney GF from here I reckon, hope not my hip pocket could do with a Geelong win

Fast forward a few weeks and oops not even a prelim to show for it!!

One of the biggest chokes in history probably only second to the Crows team of the mid naughties when they lost home prelims
