The Rape free comment is in reference to the recent spate of claims that several AFL players have been involved in rapes, also with claims of hush money being paid to the woman to cover it up.

Guest croweater Report post Posted March 23, 2004 WOOHOOO After one of the most boring cricket seasons EVER, FOOTY'S BACK!!! After the preseason I have no idea who the hell is in the running this year. But it looks like the St Kilda team might be a bit shaken up for the first couple of weeks.

Adam 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 OK, Collingwood looked woeful last night, a shadow of their team last year, I guess two grand final losses in a row does that to a team. I just hope Geelong can get over the line tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think that last nights game will have a bearing (sp?) on their season. They lost to them 2 years ago in the opener. They were also missing Lockyer & Rocca, while Woewodin & Burns as well as Didak(I think) didn't play a game in the Wizard Cup. Besides, Richmond nor St. Kilda will make the 8 this year. People who compare this years St. Kilda to Collingwood from 2002 forget they are missing the one thing that helped Collingwood get there, which is their coach. Grant Thomas is nowhere near the type of coach who will get what Malthouse got out of his. Of course, I could care less so long as my Bulldogs don't finish last this year. With Rawlings, Koops, Ray & Cooney, as well as having Grant back this year, we will make the 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 Frankly, I cannot support organized labor. I feel that it does more harm than good. Can this country handle a major strike? I think not. Maybe we need some better collective bargaining going to keep this machine of the people, the people it turns its back on itself, reduced to a minimum.

Adam 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2004 Well, Geelong fucked up badly, and how terrible were Essendon? Granted they had 7 name guys out, but still, 94 points? Awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
