So...how long until our next game?

You'll enjoy Courtney Lee. He's a gun and we really didn't want to give him up. But thanks a ton for Carter and Anderson!

NFL Started on the weekend, goes through untill the first weekend of February

I noticed on ESPN's Monday Night Football the refs had red and white stiped tops (looked similar to the old North Adelaide candystripes guernsey) as opposed to the normal black and white stipes - is that a new thing or was that commemorating something?

they're doing that to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the AFL and they're only wearing those uniforms in specific games this year

Did Michael ‘my dogs like to fight’ Vick get picked up this year?

I don’t have a team but if i did it would be, go Seattle Seahawks.

STO's Eagles took him.

Is Rocca-By-Baby still on their roster?

My first official season of closely following the NHL got off to a fantastic start today.
After counting down to the Flames' first pre-season game for months, my internet was capped last night so I couldn't watch/listen, and then they were beaten 4-1 by arch-rivals Edmonton.
Yep, I'm a good luck charm.

I will piss of to the cricket Riggy, its my pleasure! Also can't forget the many mindless hours of Poker that'll be had this Summer. O and how could I forget the swimming.

A day will come when the official season will start a lot earlier, the break is just way way too long.

What I can see happening is that the game will be of a shorter duration over a longer season.

I think the official season should start in February!

Yeah I agree, the season break should be about a week or two* like in the EPL.

I would love to see the AFL set up a rookie league at the Telstra Dome during November or early December for clubs to trial newly drafted players, rookie listed players or walk on who are fighting for a spot on the list. They should do it in the same sort of way the NBA does

*i know the length of the ELP is not 1 or 2 weeks but it feels like that.

EPL finishes end of May recommences August, but also have to realise its spread out due to alot of other soccer competitions that go on also that EPL clubs are involved with such as Champions League, FA Cup, Community Shield etc, FIFA World Cup Championship, AFL is it one Premiership one goal.

This isnt having a go at anyone but surely people have more to their general lives than football???

Surely, I really havent got time to stop and ponder now footy has finished for 2009, Melbourne Show tomorrow, going to Townsville the w/end after for an Airshow, then back to work prepare for Christmas and kids back to kinder for the last term, then cricket season starts then work xmas functions are on in December, then its new year then suddenely we are in January, also chuck in Bathurst 1000 in three and half weeks time, plus the rest of the V8 supercar rounds, EPL is on A League is on, NBA season starts in November, do I need to keep going


Footy though the love of my life, it has its season and I enjoy the break from it and get ready to fire up again in Febuary, its been a long season Ive been going to the football every second week since round 16, plus I was at the first pre-season game against Geelong back in Febuary, so time to put the voice to bed for 2009

I read in the Advertiser today that according to KG our pre season training begins November 19, which is a little later than usual I think...

I'm just hoping the Nets hit double digit wins. Next year the NBA gets interesting.

Courtney Lee would want to have a season to remember, if the Nets are going to hit double digits.

I would also like to see the season start earlier. But i feel with the pace of AFL, we will eventually look at reducing games. However commercial reality argues against this point.
