Only one game to go now... Should be an amazing Grand Final.....sad my Lions didn't make it (again) but a much better season... next year they will be there!!!

Any thoughts on who will win? I myself can not see Hawthorn dropping this game... even if they did have a very bad 3rd 1/4 againstthe Crows...they came back stong in the 4th, even if they were not at 100%... I am picking the Hawks.

Bad loss to Richmond... guess it is about time to write another season off.... oh well.. we will make the finals again some day....

Anyone else enjoying the season so far.. and any finals predictions?

Come on Brisbane...2 weeks in a row with a loss...ok no shame in being beat by either Sydney or St. Kilda.. but you must beat Gold Coast this weekend!!

I suppose it'd be all too easy for me to claim that I abhor all televised sport etc etc, which isn't THAT far from the truth in the conventional sense - I hate British TVs obsessional love affair with soccer and horseracing...they both bore me to hell...however, some of the less conventional sports/pastimes DO sometimes appeal to me...banger-racing for example...the boat race...and perhaps surprisingly Test Cricket (It's a five day thing and I love the strategy/tactics that develop over those days)...some years back there was a season of lacrosse matches which fascinated me (alas never shown since)...occasionally they show a curling match or crown green bowling (again it's the tactics)... so maybe Australian rules football might just interest me? dunno...

Hahaha.... does have a nice ring though.....however "I like New York in June" sounds pretty good eh (well to be honest.. it's a bit too hot for June....but oh well)

Are you a fan of Australian rules? Either way welcome to the thread.. hope to hear more from you.

Hello Cogidubnus..

The Lions are the Brisbane Lions of the Australian Rules Football league, they are having another bad season, right now they are 4 wins 7 losses...

however now that you mention it.. I miss Paris, I have not been there in several years and must go back soon..

Hmm seems all the AFL fans are gone... well at least there will be no mocking of my Lions

[Steadmund Brand]

Lions 102 Eagles 100....I wonder what the odds were on that!!!

Steadmund Brand

[Steadmund Brand]

Wow, where did all the Footy fans go.. there isn't even anyone around to make fun of my Lions

2-4...not a great start... and a terrible loss this week...lets see if we have a chance against Collingwood back at the Gabba..

hope to hear from more fans!!

Lions off to a 2 and 2 start!!! Not too shabby... However we play Geelong this week.. I am a bit nervous.
