Because the AFL are against us and are giving Collingwood an easy ride yet again. They get to play one of the losers that get gifted a 2nd chance....

Who cares it's only Nab cup and if we win round two we get a longer break than any of the other teams anyway.


When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss

Already started on the 6 day breaks. What hope do we have with us off 6 days and Melbourne off 13. Game set match.

Coz the AFL like matches at night.

Wasn't it the night cup originally or some bulls***.

TBH, don't think Melbourne would really be a problem. A few fresh players in and bam.

prefer trecking out and watching a praccy match somewhere rather than NAB
always been the best part about dropping out in the past - do it sooner

"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."

The one thing is though, I would much rather be playing on AFL standard surfaces rather than ones which just have to pass local council checks.
