Septocemia 2009 will have the best possible finale as the two best teams in the competition will face off in the AFL Grand Final. Sure, we love a Cinderella story…but i ...

Saint Nick’s knee holds up long enough for him to do this… How about that! In a finals series that has already delivered high drama and some classic finishes, we got another one! The Saints are in the grand final…but they were this freakin’ close to a shock exit. And if it wasn’t for inspirational s ...

WHAT…ME WORRY? Pressure. It has cost us some wayward government ministers, it can drive young divas into a head -shaving, umbrella-waving fit of rage and it forced the temporarily rampaging Adelaide Crows into their shell during the third quarter last Saturday night.

It was tough enough to digest that what promised to be an enthralling semi final battle would result in either Collingwood or Adelaide progr ...

Is Aker taking to centre court for the final time? Will he be back next year? Will it be as a Bulldog? Will we ever hear the end of it? Two premiership contenders who fell short in the qualifying final and now fight for survival with the prospect of being beaten twice and ousted from the finals. Two ...

No final for you, Paddy. But if you have a handful of jumper when you hit a bloke, exactly like Luke Hodge did to you, you get away with it. Jumper punch equals no suspension… Same for you, Lloydy – a handful of jumper and you get away with it. Jumper Bump equals no suspension…ok, maybe not! It’s fi ...

One of Kate’s co-workers from Portland has a cousin here in Melbourne who we’ve been corresponding with since we got here. She and her husband, Carol and John, invited us to go with them to a footy game last night. Coincidentally, one of the teams playing was Collingwood, the local team for our neig ...
