Noticed on Sports post above that the Melbourne Storm played a game yesterday. Can someone please let me know how they went? Nothing in the papers or on the radio or TV in Melbourne. Your right Barn there is plenty of sheilas footy (even they pulled 25000 people) and seniors practise matches, the Moomba birdman rally, water skiing and even some soccer on SBS. But no bum sniffers of the workers or the elites variety. So a Storm score would be appreciated (Oh and how did Izzy Folou and Greg Inglis go for the Storm? )

Well Rob,

The bait barely hit the water ......used to be like when I fished years ago with a 2 hook rig for flathead in a tinnie outside the break water at north haven, northern NSW, beautiful part of Australia that place, always got 2 flathead with a hand line cast.

But I digress, I would like the Jingjoes TV schedule published for the AFL ASAP. The cult followers are getting restless mate.

Melbourne Storm gave my NRL bulldogs a touch up last Thursday in atrocious Melbourne like weather. They got the rub of the green as far as weather went.
Greg Ingliss will be out for a while, he is playing for the rabbito's these days, bung leg now, ligament damage. :-"
Izzy still pretending to play footy for the Wallabies. :-"

Bulldogs are my NRL team too Barney because they are well BULLDOGS...... Can't say I've watched a game since Steve Mortimer was a pup but still a dishlicker at heart.

Good choice Mr Lew.

I've followed them since they were defeated in the 1967 GF by souths. I was a yong chap then and my first GF to watch, liked their Jersey. Both my teams have pulled up lame in the past few years.

I'm a Carlton Blues supporter because many many moons ago I worked at the Portland Aluminium Smelter in 1985. I was bestowed the Blues team by the Vic lads only because my NRL Bulldogs were blue. Go figure. We won a few flags all that way back. The Fitzroy and Footscray days. =D>

Just a quick update on the sports for today and tomorrow. I will have the complete list up a bit later on, short of time at the moment. All games live in Thai times.

Only 66,000 odd for the wobbles home game last night. A bit disappointing but expecting a bit better tonight with about 85,000 at the G for Bombers v Hawks........free kick Hawthorn. Just a normal weekend in Australia's number one sporting competition in Australia's only real sporting city.
Oh and there is some car race on too but hardly any is taking any notice. Fancy organising a car race at the start of the footy season - no idea.

Receipe for disaster or just a bad Formula.

Those attendances look good. Confirms why NRL has to start earlier to compete. 5555

FI, Rugby League and Rugby...a great weekend of sport for the true Aussie fans. Well I bet the AFL supporters will be happy that the other game has finally commenced, now they can leave their Dic.s alone for another 7 months lol.

No need to be salty about the real Australians who follow the only Australian game......simply look at the numbers from this weekends games......

Sea Eagles Bulldogs 9,610
Cronulla Sharks Parramatta Eels Crowd: 17,003

Carlton - Richmond Official crowd: 73,137 at the MCG
Essendon - Hawthorn Official crowd: 78,294 at the MCG

over 17,000 for the Girls AFL Grand Final, not too shabby at all

Well over 200 K so far for the First Round and also competing with the F!

Sport - my accountant always told me, numbers count.

Sport

large well established Rosemary plants for 140 Baht, at the wholesale Nursrey area , near the Ring Road and Nong Khai intersection

Thanks Waz, will head out today and grab a few. There has been a high casualty rate amongst the existing plants.

What with the Sygnets last weekend, did their Mum and Dads leave them too early.

No wonder your VFL people love that other game, they have nowhere to go to amuse themselves.

Victoria...225k sq klms...26 persons per sq klm, they must be smelling each other's ....
NSW...800k sq klms..10 persons per sq klm, a fair bit of room to move around and not collide with another.
Qld....2.7mill sq klms, 2.5 persons per sq klm, a bit wet at the moment, and heaps of room to get around.

I could not live in that small piece of Oz, it would drive me crazy. So I would have to go and sadly watch a game to feel a bit of open space. Tassie, well its just too small.
