He's still leading...

Just By 1 and Port are Better then we are

Red wine is much more slimming than beer

I find a swig of mouthwash every 5 works best... loose like a gypsy wedding, and a whisper that won't frighten off the ladies

The glass is 10% empty.

Four of the last five over them. This is every bit winnable, for us and for Kirb...

Really? Because last time I checked we spanked them on their home turf.

True but I think Lisle and Calloway have more Chance then Kirby.

Hope I am wrong though

I think Kirby has just as much chance as any to win it unless he gets a senior call up.

Plus Kirby MIGHT be injured

Carrying the team all year probably ?

Well looks like we're in for a head to head shoot out this week against Port between Kirby and Lisle. Can Kirby hang on to claim the Frosty medal? On a similar note Kirby needs 3 goals to equal Paine's 45 goal haul (from 19 games) in 2013, which is the best tally by a VFL (2000;2008 -) magpie.

42 goals. What a s**t medal. As I don't follow VFL records too closely at all, how does the amount goals rank compared to previous years?

Poor overall, but not the worst and comparable to the last 3 seasons

Comes down to simple question?

Is it better to try to win a seconds competition goal kicking medal or play one game of AFL?

I'd take AFL senior football any time, each game is quite valuable

Copped a $600 fine and a reprimand.

Thanks. I got worried for a minute there.

Pretty harsh penalty for a guy on not that much living away from home who didn't really do anything

I think he spends that much weekly at KFC

It's important to try and win the game first and foremost.
If at the same time he wins the Frosty, even better.

Yes that's my belief.

On the original question, one game of AFL is worth more than 5 seconds comp medals

Or a big wheel of French cheese!

Not that much? Draftees earn about $70-80k per year before match payments, which is $20-30k more than the average worker. As a young single guy with no major financial commitments I'm sure he'll survive losing $600.
