Aussie Rules thread

Thought I'd start one as their is a tennis, rugby and soccer thread running.

First round of the the 2005 Australian Football League season and high drama in game one when St Kilda's (Warnies team) star player "Nick Reiwoldt" (a David Beckham kindred spirit) broke his collarbone (out for 6 weeks), complained about roughing up from 2 Brisbane Lion players (Chris Scott & Mal Michael) and openly wept during three quater time (sook of year).
St Kilda's excuse for a coach Grant Thomas who with an abundance of talent still only has a 38% win record (in aussie rules draws are rare thus he has a 62% loss record. Is staring down the gun hole of another long unproductive season from the AFL's most unproductive team...SOS WARNIE quit cricket go home and run the Saints.
Collingwood will obviously hit the wall on Monday when my beloved Bulldogs screach their tyres on a few Magpie carcases whith something that would be akin to a 6-0 soccer result.
Carlton have just been beaten by the Kangaroos
