His heart condition, mate.

I think he will struggle play 15 games.

Damn, i didnt think it was that bad. Then again, he seems pretty business orientated and from reading some articles he hints at early retirement to get on with his commerce career

How can we finish second on the ladder, win three finals, but still be runners up in the Grand Final? Doens't work. ;)

If you finish top four and win three finals, you are Premiers (skip Semis).

If you finish in the bottom four of the eight and win three finals, you have made the Grand Final.

I meant we'll be finished 2nd due to the fact that we will be runners up again.

If we were talking ladder after round 22, I'd say we'll be more like 5th. (I think this works) sorry i didn't put a lot of thought into it!

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG - dont even get me started on how WRONG it is to be happy that you almost got it right.

My prediction in 2006 - Geelong win the flag, and I wont be happy unless it happens and I dont give a rats if i tipped it!
