Yeah working for me Andrew.

Might need "Flash" or something.

[Tilt]

Yep - used it yesterday m8.

Its a great little thing.

Was no real surprise that the Swans ended up winning the grand final.

According to my predictor we play the Saints, then Melb in our lead up to a Grand Final against Brisbane which we triumphantly crush them.

I don't like what I predict.

I keep getting us playing Essendon in the first week.

We are the home team, but guess what, that MCG contract is set to benefit the bombers yet again.

just comes up blank white screen damien how can i get flash or whatever if thats the problem?

im pretty useless on computer

[swansrule100]

It's a cute device. On almost all realistic sets of results, Sydney make the 8 comfortably (presuming they beat the Kangaroos- even if they lose to the 'Roos they should nonetheless just sneak through provided they beat the Dons and Tigers).

However (here comes the bad bit), they are wildly unlikely to make the top 6. We can forget about any of the current top 5 (Geelong have bolted and have a comparative dream run home), and there is just no way I can see that Freo could lose enough games to let us up. So all of that complainin' about the AFL's insane contract with the MCC is likely to be irrelevant this year.

In fact, our best-case scenario is if we finish 7th, Freo 6th, and Brisbane and Port occupy 1st and 2nd positions on the ladder (none of which are unlikely results). All of this would, so far as I can tell, result in Freo and Sydney playing a weird 'neutral' game at the MCG!

That would be a fantastic result for the entire AFL. If they get a pathetic crowd to that game, it will show the MCC just how stupid their contract is. It would be the best way to getting that contract changed.

yeh but how long has logic been at the mcc

[Tilt]

Unfort its a contract they will not break. Its ok for us in melb as we get to see finals live but the mcc is run by a bunch of geriatrics who heads are so far up their own asses that they cant see daylight.

The new members stand is a disgrace. Thank god for passouts to the afl members section.

Do you have a pop-up stopper?

It opens in a separate, smaller window.
