Anyone know why Faulkner isn't in the squad? Blokes ripping it up in county cricket

Simple... Clarke doesn't like him... Same reason Joe Burns who was good over summer has vanished as well

Oh, and the selectors like the romance of father/sons, so the Marsh's get precedence

That's out you muppet

Should be a shoe into the squad, 32 with the bat 23 with the ball.

I agree.

I still don't know why Joe Burns isn't in there... I'd play him over Voges for sure

Does anyone on here watch Gotham? If so, any good?

I gave it six episodes and I can't remember a more boring show.

It starts off well but then stagnates and becomes another serial in a way that it just loses cohesion and you find yourself asking "why am I watching this?". Everyone I know watching it, including myself dropped it before season 1 was finished simply because it lost us as a viewer. This is basically the complete opposite of the Flash that started off slow and boring and then hit its stride into a pretty decent show, or Arrow which has teetered a bit into the Lost category of trying to do too much whilst also being Batman, but has otherwise remained steady.

So what I['m saying is, Gotham isn't really worth it, could have been much better than it is, Flash and Arrow are the DC serials you should be watching, and Daredevil > Agent Carter > Agents of SHIELD on Marvels front. IMO, Marvel seems to have more balls in their TV serials whilst DC have tried dark and gritty with Gotham and Arrow with mixed success and succeeded with lighthearted Flash.

Also, fair to say for the two weeks I was in England, I missed AFL the most, and came across a NSW school cricket team on the flight home in Abu Dhabi, so also missed the first test since my friend I was staying with didn't have Sky Sports who were televising it and she didn't feel like driving and sitting with me for a day. I am then ashamed to say I was jet lagged yesterday and fell asleep at 2:30pm and at the start of the Ashes coverage, so also missed the last day at Lords.

Cheers. That's a bummer cause it looks like it could be a really cool show and a different look at the Batman story. Got a mate who's really into Arrow so I might have to give that a go, only really embraced the comic book genre this year to be honest.

Jason Holmes speaking on SEN right now. Any of the keen VFL watchers got any idea on how he is going?

There is no contest between Gotham and Arrow. Gotham had soooooo much potential, but has really proven to be too, um, introspective, shall we say... Arrow is great, though. Get into that.

For fans of the Predator franchise, watch this awesome 10 minute fan film, set in World War 2. Filmed in Hawaii with a budget of only $500!

 

[Persevering Saint]

There's also a full length medieval Predator fan film coming out on youtube later on in the year.

Before the Melbourne game on Southern Cross (7) there was a replay of the 1992 second elimination final. The Saints beat Collingwood on a wet day at Waverly by 8 points. I was startled by the quality of the football. Both Locket and Ron McKeown were excellent as key forwards. Rob Harvey was weaving his magic. Great to see Nicky Winmar and one of my real favourites, Gilbert McAdam, as well as Dwyer. Morris, Loewe etc. I think were were premiership capable.
I saw this team beat Collingwood by 2 points on the Queens Birthday Game at the G that year. Collingwood were also a strong team at this time. West Coast went on to win the GF.
