Who will win in the Freo vs Hawthorn at York Park. (one behind in the footy tipping and need all the help i can get)

This one was answered via PM last week but thought it might need a mention. Hawthorn as Fremantle won't play well.

Why don't the AFL players wear those tight, tight shorts anymore?

I have a good body so I would want to wear those tight tight shorts. Basically because they didn't give the players enough room is my reasoning. They are uncomfortable. You should try and wear them. This guy wanted his name to be known. Luthor you have the publicity you want. Why complain about the questions if you put in lowsy questions yourself? Perhaps a Luthor section answering that question is what we all desire in Bigfooty land.

Who is our Arch-Rival?
is it Port (formed at the same time as "Brisbane Lions" Close matches bar a couple and 2 draws since. The most likely heir apparent at the moment and has been nipping at our heals for a couple of years. Humiliated us in preseason cup final)
or Essendon ( who is the once mighty that we overcame to become No1. Huge crowd draw)
or Collingwood (who is Fitzroy's traditional rival as I am led to believe. Then there is Eddie who is on a mission to clip the feathers of our club. Also huge crowd draw)
or ....? ( I had considered the Roos; 2 PF defeats robbing us of what should of been our first premiership in 99. It was Mckernin and Carey that tore us apart and sunk us in the end and they have moved on. Still the draw this year and the quality of the games in the past two years suggests something is there.)

This is one tough question. I'd have to say that the Kangaroos are. Purely for the fact that our games involving them are always close and action packed and the fact that they ripped us off twice in the preliminary finals. Kangaroos love the task of beating top sides. They have almost pulled it off the last few years.

We seem to have the nod over Essendon, Collingwood and Port, but the Kangaroos always seem to get to us. The other three teams havn't seem to have gotten to our nose as much as Kangaroos have and I always look forward to games against the Kangaroos. Top quality football. Our revenge of 96 and 99 will be taken back once we win a flag against them or knock them out of the finals series ourselves. I look forward to a game against them in the finals this year if it comes.

Dr.Burgerfats, do you think the club should have an 'alternate' jumper for certain games, as seems to be the trend with some clubs?

It would appear from this mangled concoction of phraesology that

a) I am being "credited" with having PM'd this "lowsy" question to Mr Burgerfats. ;

b) in a spasm of ill-considered madness, I sought to gain "publicity" by being so credited.

AND

c) there is a strong inference being drawn that I have some unhealthy fascination with AFL players in tight shorts.:eek:


Tsk tsk Burgerfats.

It's a bit naughty to go attributing questions, statements and inferences to another party on a public forum, when you know that they are all a figment of your imagination.

Really, a lawyer should know better ;)
