Yep! Come join us Lil! We'll explain everything.
Definitely no Collingwood. Yuck. I recommend the West Coast Eagles.
Or if you like living on the edge - of your seat, then the nearest cliff - Richmond is perfect.

But rest assured that when we do start winning again at the end of the season Richmond admin staff are accustomed to members requesting a new card to replace their 'lost' one.You also have to be prepared to buy a new microwave each year (in which to Anger-Nuke[SUP]TM[/SUP] your membership).
For the love all that is good, don't pick collingwood.
Who do you barrack for Sian?For the love all that is good, don't pick collingwood.
You'd love Leo Barry then.I went to the 2005 GF (vs Sydney). Heartbreaking loss. So heartbreaking, in fact, when Mr. BF offered to take my to the 2006 GF, I refused.
I'll bet it did!Of course we won that one. But I was probably better stressing at home than in public! (Damn one point win almost killed me).

Ha. The goal umpires haven't worn those white outfits for a number of years now. These days they're in black pants and greenish t-shirts, and their signals are a little less robotic too.
I hadn't heard anything about the Sampi hold but the picture tells the story.Mr. BF knows to change the channel whenever that clip comes on. He's well aware of my (major) issue with that mark. Yes, it was a good mark. But Ashley Sampi was being bear-hugged by one of the Sydney players to stop him flying for it.
Should have been a free kick for holding. (Quite a number of commentators have pointed this out since). It's just such a blatant free kick. Would've had a shot for goal too.
Geelong vs North Melbourne.
Hell yes! Do we have to write them in invisible ink?So, ajaye (and of course any other interested Australians and non-Aussie but interested parties ) should we have weekly tips for each match?

Richmond vs Collingwood
Western Bulldogs vs Sydney
Hawthorn vs Adelaide
GWS vs Gold Coast
Brisbane vs Essendon
West Coast vs St Kilda
Geelong vs North Melbourne
Melbourne vs Carlton
Port Adelaide vs Fremantle
And Danger.I'd say I tipped Geelong just for blacbird, but I simply rate them as a far better team than North.
Hi, I'm a new transplant from NRL country, and know nothing about this game. Can someone give me the 101 so I can blend in? It involves jumping really high in the air, right?

My other half barracks for Carlton and I have no soft spot ... they're terrible. He'll be amazed if they win a game this year.
I did um and ah over the Bulldogs vs Sydney GF rematch. Sydney always tends to play really badly in round 1, so I discount their first up performance. I wasn't overly impressed with the doggies last weekend. It's a risky pick, but I'm tipping for Sydney being up for revenge after last year.
West Coast has such a better away game than people give them credit for. Every time we win an away game (see: against North, last week) it gets no attention. But whenever we lose one, we get labelled "flat-track bullies." This really bugs me, because not only do we travel more than any other team (and much farther), the teams we lost to last year when travelling were like Sydney (SCG), Hawthorn (MCG), Adelaide (Adelaide), GWS (GWS), Geelong (Geelong). All great teams, all with as much a home-ground advantage as we have. Hardly anyone beats those teams at their home grounds. *shrug*
I've no idea why no one comments when Hawthorn loses every away game (not that they play many), but we cop it.
TL;DR even if WCE vs St Kilda was played in Melbourne, WCE would have been odds-on favourites to win.

See, that's the attitude Jaymz should have!
Who's your team, Sian?
Who do you barrack for Sian?
What's wrong with these drongos, mate? That's a fair dinkum asinine change to make.

For Alby, and anyone else who wants to know WTF we're talking about:

I appreciate the irony that I essentially barrack for two teams that always seem like they're going to do well right until the last quarter.
I had to ask my mother to explain what the hell drongo meant about three years back. We were watching a movie from the 70s. She sort of blinked an me and was all "but..."
I then pointed out I was born in 91, and I think drongo was on it's way out as slang in the 80s.
This is brilliant.
