Go Dees.

All the way boys..... GF.

Ahem, did you not see all the dodgy frees Melbourne got earlier in the game?

I support the Hawks, but when umpires start giving away ticky touchwood frees, especially in finals, the team getting the special treatment usually starts to tank because they know they are getting help and didn't earn the ball.

There were a couple of referee glitches, but I don't think they affected the final result, the Demons deserved to win.

Forgot to put my tips in... Sorry Logique was going to go for the Hawks and the Pies.

All good MH, I figured you'd go with the Hawks. The D's were relentless last night, but the Hawks never gave up

The one against Lewis was ridiculous but there was some really crappy umpiring earlier in the game that went against us. Might have helped if we could have kicked some goals in the second quarter though.

Last night..

After Rd 2, Kid hustlr is still in the lead, with a perfect record

Tigers and Eagles for me.

I would have liked to see GWS win last night, but Tigers - Magpies at the MCG will be a mouth watering clash.

Preliminary finals next week. Good luck getting a ticket for Richmond vs Collingwood on Friday night! I'll take: Richmond and WCE. Wouldn't mind being wrong, in either case.

While Collingwood were deserved winners, a lot of the 50:50 umpiring calls seemed to go their way, especially in the first half. Another "nearly" season for the Giants

Richmond

Thanks, Logique.

Dees and Wasps FTW.

Tigers eagles please.

I think the tigers are certainties but the Perth game is a 50/50.

Just a bit of fun. Of course it's an outrageous insult to all people of "colour" .

Lampooning is so pre 2000. Maybe that's the plan = make "coloured" people into prissies and indignant prima donnas they will make good slaves to the system?

I guess there is "face whitener" available if those offended want to get their revenge.

Another win to the PC police, Sam Newman to finish after 25 years, love him or hate him he doesn't fit in the 'new Australia'.
There is no place for those who 'say it as they see it', that permission, is only allowed to those who say it 'as it is allowed' by the press. IMO

Fortunately footy isn't popular with the wife, so I don't get to watch anything involved with it, so I won't miss him. Actually the whole post now seems ironic. lol
