Don't know about that Gas. Sounds more like infighting. That's a Bad Omen. :stern look

Anyways your story reminds me of the time I was hurtling down Mt Macedon at 80 plus clicks when I noticed a Big Red bouncing towards me at a 45 degree angle. We were dead set on a collision course. I touched the breaks which slowed me up to 70 clicks but it wasn't looking good. The Big Red finally altered course and bounded along side me roughly a metre or so away for some seconds until it ventured back towards the trees. Must have realised I was a staunch North Man. Thank **** for that. :stern look
I'm a little disappointed with that story. Good yarn but I was waiting for a Zondor punchline that never came.

Not sure if it's been discussed elsewhere but since when did finals become home games?

The final against Richmond had more onscreen Richmond dance-cams (not talking about their players), cheerleading, tiger themed songs and general bs than their actual home games do.

My Galaxy S3 finally bit the dust. Turns on but screen is dead and a button is hanging off.

Gonna have to go to Optus who do my prepaid and get an S5. Tomorrow. Too lazy today.
I cannot recommend LG highly enough. I have a two-year old G2, and with moderate to heavy use I can still get two full days out of the battery. It's fast, great size, and just works - all the time. Only gripe is the camera, but the one on the latest G4 is apparently awesome.

My two cents.

That was crap. It should be a neutral venue in the city of the higher ranked team.

Not so much a though, but a stat.
This weekends game against Sydney will be North Melbourne's 2700th match since we first joined the VFA in 1877.
804 VFA games between 1877 and 1924
1896 VFL/AFL games between 1925 and 2015

and Boomer has played in 15.1% of those games.

I disagree mate, I think if you've finished higher on the ladder you've earned the right to play a home final and you should be able to make it as partisan as possible in order to gain any advantage available.

Loved seeing both the Tigers and North cheer squad with giant flags. It was my understating that they were banned over a certain size? It looked like the kop at anfield. Also love the crowd been sectioned for finals. Loved it when Lindsay kicked that goal in the last and a sea of blue and white in the crowd

Last year, we finished 6th, played 7th place bombers.... Before the game we got to watch the bombers greatest win over north on the big screen and then watched a neutral atmosphere. I was a bit frustrated with Richmond making it all about them when in the past it was neutral.

Well it's all about them now. In the worst possible way for them.
