HOW CAN I WATCH SNOOP DOGG AT THE AFL GRAND FINAL?

You can watch Snoop Dogg’s performance live on Seven and 7Plus, if you’re in Australia.


I'd like to thank the Lord, God, Allah, Buddha and any other deity for allowing me to be overseas at this time....

If the Vics get their way and the academy is neutered, preventing us being able to match bids on first round talent what do you think should be the next step?

1. Do we just suck it up and hope to get players to come home after their first contract?
2. Do we start to hide players like West Coast had done ( Wil Powell

3. Pull funding out of the academy as it’s unlikely to provide the benefits we would expect for such an investment ?

The current F/S, NGA and Academy draft access remains alive - it's just going to be much, much harder to match bids. Nice to know that we'll be able to keep a future Zeke Uwland after putting 6+ years into their junior development.

Japanese baseball is such a cool experience.
Highly recommend if anyone going to Japan.
The coordinated crowd chanting and dancing is insane.

I thought bringing in Jack Mahoney was the most random trade in... maybe our most under rated trade.

Rowell, Anderson and Mahoney are/were over in Japan with Al Davies showing them around

Just ran into Wayne Campbell at Sydney airport in the lounge, he’s flying back up to the GC tonight for a farewell dinner.

He seemed very bullish about the Sun’s future, I have to admit I was worried that something was wrong at the club with so many people leaving but he seemed very positive.
