WOW........are performers paying to be the halftime entertainment these days. I didn't realise the SANFL was so hard up for cash. I guess it compliments, what will be one of the worst GFs of all time.

My mistake. Didn't read it properly. Change haltime to pre-game then. Thank the Sweet Zombie Jesus, i'll be sittin in a corporate box all day.

If you get any free bundys drop me down a couple.
Ring me before you drop them though.

Like those odds of 1-19 or 21-40 on the Eagles. Reckon I might have a few dollars on that.

Can't believe Centrals are $1.50.

I believe these odds to be generous.

I WANT TO KNOW WHY WE ARE FAVOURITES TO WIN, AFTER THE YEAR THAT WE JUST HAD.

Its October.

What time does Amity Dry open?

Recent finals record.

because as stated its FINALS and when you have FINALS + CENTRALS = MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the doggies should be shorter then the $1.50, its a GIFT. The Eagles have never beaten the doggies in a final. leading upto the second semi, they were very confident that they had the doggies measure, but as its been proven over recent years, the doggies have the best game plan for finals.

I think the Eagles will be shattered after being so confident in the second semi, yet they got destroyed. they were lucky to hold on in the end last week. If the Eagles are in front in the last 1/4 which i think is highly unlikely the doggies only have to run the game out to be a chance to win. the eagles last week tried to save the game as early as the 10 min mark of the last 1/4, you dont want to be doing that in A G/F.

A great calibre of umps.

Dry as a nun's nasty.


Actually - I'm spewing, I missed out on being part of the half-time entertainment by just a few votes. damn, damn.
Woulda been a dream come true to be in the Mail Medalist motorcade wearing a Doggies scarfe, while the boys take a break from mauling the Eagles.
