    Why we lost today.

    Please. Collingwood, alongside Carlton and Essendon are always favoured by the umpires, don't even bother trying to dispute it. Anyway, one of those 'goals' you are talking about clearly hit the post and changed trajectory. The umpire tapped for behind then changed his mind since he was...

    Toast Collingwood the 14th most valuable sporting club in the world!

    This list doesn't include American sports... the Forbes top 50 lists like 8 soccer majors, then practically every NFL team and a couple baseball and hockey teams (Yankees, Rangers etc)

    RWC - Australia vs Ireland

    If our gutless effort last night was anything to go by, we won't beat the USA by more much. Barely scraped over the line against Italy also... Unless the boys have their ass thoroughly kicked by the ARU, you can go ahead and chalk in a massive loss to SA in the QFs

    GameDay thread V Adelaide (8:40pm start)

    And kyle 'john rambo' reimers once again reminds us all exactly why he hasn't been getting games with the seniors. Perhaps I jumped the gun by having faith in our boys... even if adelaide run out of steam, essendon look packed and heading to the airport.

    LOL thank god adelaide are so s**t they miss sitters, matthew richardson style. We would be in trouble if they could kick straight!

    Sadly it's in our culture to keep the veterans around until they can register for pension payments...

    GameDay thread V Adelaide (8:40pm start)

    Adelaide don't have the legs to go this hard all day... our boys have done sweet **** all, no one is even jogging out there, so I'm guessing they are saving their energy to run it home in the second half

    GameDay thread V Adelaide (8:40pm start)

    Prismal is absolutely terrible... Davey not too far behind, but at least Davey tries his ass off. Most of Adelaide's marks have been from our ****ing hopeless kicking out after a behind.

    GameDay thread V Adelaide (8:40pm start)

    Umpires are doing a good job for us so far tonight, so they cannot be blamed for this rubbish. ZERO intensity ZERO pressure. That said, I believe Adelaide will run out of energy before 3QT and we will win by 5-6 goals. why can't they learn to play four quarters of football? This culture of "we...

    Review vent here vs. Hawthorn

    The two biggest issues are a) pace and b) complete lack of forward line. Jetta is really one of our only speedsters, and he is putting in 110% every week. He needs some support, he can't be expected to do it all himself Secondly, we need to develop a full forward. In the first quarter welsh...

    Umpires vs Essendon

    You cannot just tally up every decision that resulted in a goal or non-goal... if one of those decisions went the other way then the path of the rest of the game would be entirely different. I wonder if the umpires are going to be blamed for the travesty in play at the moment?

    Positives to be taken from today.

    The work effort of Hurley, Heppell, Hardingham and Zakka are second to none. Agree with the points made about Hardingham's spoils... he just hates a bit of hang time innit!?

    Umpires vs Essendon

    Seriously. We all love the club, but people need to stop blaming the umpires every single time we lose, we are NOT being targeted by the umpires. It's becoming absurd, and it's a cop out to think that our club is being specifically targeted by the officials. Why the hell would they want to kill...

    What do you want us to achieve before season 2011 is over?

    I would like to see a FORWARD LINE developed. Seriously, this bullshit of just slapping it on the boot to a stacked back line is getting absurd and embarrassing. We don't have any strong forwards that can be relied on, it was frustrating to see Zakka running down the wing towards our 50 to have...

    How to start investing?

    Sign up to www.comsec.com.au, they have a very user-friendly interface for beginners. Etrade is a little more technical and can be confusing. Be prepared to make mistakes, because trading is not something anybody can teach you... it's one of those things you can only learn through...

    Tertiary and Continuing Going to a Lecture without paying a fee?

    Though I am studying at uni currently, I have purchased the texts for several other classes and attend the lectures sometimes. It doesn't hurt to get a head start on future subjects or just to learn something extra.

    Anyone here play hockey?

    I went with Easton pad set... it was like $85. Easton is my personal favorite for gear and sticks, though Bauer is tied for skates. I've never worn Reebok before which is why I decided to try the sticks and skates.. the skates are great but the sticks are a bit meh. The shipping was roughly...

    We're playing finals this year - top 4 not out of the question.

    Re: We're not playing finals this year - bottom 4 not out of the question. No finals this year. There are only two winnable games left... Footscray and Port. Is it possible to end this year with a worse record than last?

    Dan Carter resigns with NZRU until 2015

    The only thing that could stop the ABs from winning the world cup this year is the rapture... which didn't arrive yesterday. At home, there is virtually zero chance they will lose.

    Preview Brisbane Lions vs Essendon (G) - Saturday Night

    I think this one will be closer than most people think. This game will be almost career-defininig for Voss and you can bet your top dollar that the Lions will come out with a very high intensity. Regardless, our boys are a much, much better unit and absolutely no excuses and no reasons why it...

    2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs

    Absolute monster of a game... Wings really did thrash the Sharks in every aspect, just couldn't convert. Jimmy Howard will be the next Hasek. I really hope the Modano clutches next game... always been a fan of his (even though I always hated Dallas), but his career is at its end so I want him...

    Your top 5 weapons ever

    Was going to say Celestial Fury the +3 Katana... give that to a kensage and it's pretty much game over all the way through TOB. Also I loved the MP5 from Half-Life one, and the pulse rifle from HL2

    Best.Game.Ever.

    Agree with those listing FFX and Baldur's Gate II. Seriously, these rpgs will NEVER be dethroned. I remember spending hours just grinding outside Zanarkand to listen to 'Someday the Dream Will End'... Final Fantasy games have the best music compositions in video game history. Adding to that...

    Society & Culture If You Could Go Back In Time to Observe a Historical Event, What Would It Be?

    Pre-human era, I would like to have seen either the Cambrian explosion, or the time when the asteroid hit and wiped out the dinosaurs... would be cool to see how such a relatively small object causes that much damage. Human era, I always thought it would be interesting to have seen what life...

    2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs

    It's good that franzen is taking a rest, he certainly wasn't fit enough to come back to the line up. Still not sure about Modano though... used to love him when he played for the Stars but eh.

    Any Stock Tips? - Part 3

    Converting from options to fpos gives the company a cash injection so it's very rarely they would want to prevent this. It's generally the shareholders who don't want further dilution of the share pool

    Buying Gold/Silver/Metals etc

    To be honest, if you think shares are too risky then I would stay well away from commodity futures atm. They are far too leveraged for personal investors (unless you are being very modest when you say a few bucks :P ) The USD is worth peanuts currently, but QE2 is set to end this year, and...

    2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs

    That Rivaldo video must be where Sidney Crosby gets his tips on how to dive correctly ;) Wings will definitely teach the Sharks a thing or two at the Joe this week, and then hammer it home in game 7.

    Who do you support in the NHL & who are your favourite players?

    Re: Who do you support in the NHL & who is your favorite players? Detroit here. Started following hockey in about 1995 when I was 8... Have been fortunate enough to have had the internet most of my life, so the games I couldn't find a stream to online, I would often listen to the radio...
