The Football (all sorts) Thread

[Bartrim]

I don't think Australia is that soft as a society that we always have to be all touchy-feely and only say nice things about whatever the subject is at hand.

Maybe not Australia as a society but this board tries to remain as friendly as possible. I apologise if you weren't baiting, it just seemed that way to me especially taking your previous posts in this thread into consideration.

Back to the subject at hand. Of the players named (I will not name them until it becomes official) in the scandal I can say that only one surprises me. I will be surprised however if the NRL does what it says and gives these players life time bans... well one very big name in particular.

In my opinion the size of the bet should be taken into account but I know that it isn't within the AFL. Even a one dollar bet gets them into trouble.

Do you think in 70 years or so they will make a movie like 'Field of Dreams' about the 2010 Storm team?

Well, we finally have a winner in the AFL final. What I'm annoyed with is that I predicted the exact winning margin - 56 points, and I didn't place a bet (not a betting person). It was 57 points with a couple of minutes to go and I was praying that the score stayed the same or that either side would kick a goal. Stupid Saints scored a point

Damn.

But knowing how the universe works, had you made that bet, the saints wouldn't have kicked that point.

True that.

Let's see if I can predict the NRL grand final - I'm calling it now Dragons 24 to Roosters 22. Should be a close and entertaining game if I get this right

Dragons win the grand final! WOO-HOO!!!

*Does celebratory cartwheels*

The football gods smiled greatly upon the dragons yesterday. they should count themselves very lucky.
