    I see the partners are wearing the usual range of monstrous 'frocks' to the Brownlow. I wonder if a player has ever taken one look and said 'Nup, you're staying home'. How did the 'best and fairest' AFL medal count turn into a red carpet event about women's dresses?

    Agree.
    If they started the count instead of all the fluff, then I might watch it!!

    I saw about an 1 hour of the count, and reckon I saw about 6 rounds counted.

    This is a great article about McGlynn, with some well-written phrases. "There was some kind of stillness to the Sydney fury that looked ominous."

    I figured with us being one of only two teams left in the competition that we might get our fair share of airplay on 360. Nope. You'd have struggled to work out we were playing this Saturday. Freakn ridiculous.

    Thank God Healy keeps them honest on OTC.

    What's the deal at the SCG? Do they show the game on the big scoreboard screen? Any food or drink available at the ground?

    I still thought it was a nauseating Bulldogs love fest. It's over the top in the media down in Melbourne.
