Hi SportsLoungers!
I can't believe the excitement of the last round of the AFL Home and Away season last weekend. It certainly provided some highlights:
- Buddy's 100th goal;
- Fevola just missing out on the 100th milestone...99 not out;
- Milne's awesome performance to propel St Kilda to 4th spot and a double-chance;
- Nth Melbourne's dismal thrashing to Port Adelaide.
I am so looking forward to the first week of the finals. They look like this:
Second Qualifying Final
Friday Sept 5
7.50pm, MCG
Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs
Elimination Final
Saturday Sept 6
2.00pm, AAMI Stadium
Adelaide v Collingwood
Elimination Final
Saturday Sept 6
7.30pm, ANZ Stadium
Sydney v Nth Melbourne
First Qualifying Final
Sunday Sept 7
2.40pm, MCG
Geelong v St Kilda
ENJOY!

Fremantle Dockers Tonight
Hi Sports Loungers,Ok guys, it's the last game of the season for my team the Fremantle Dockers tonight. They are hosting Collingwood. If Collingwood win they can potentially push North Melbourne out of the top 4. If they lose, they could fall to 8th spot.
Fremantle on the other hand need to win to end a dismal season on a high.
GO THE DOCKERS!

Narelle's NRL Report- 27/8/08
NRL Report
Round 24 in Review
Greg Bird
Cronulla star Greg Bird has been charged with ‘glassing’ his girlfriend – inflicting grievous bodily harm to her face and she also received a fractured eye socket from the incident.
It was claimed that Bird was not originally involved in the incident (He originally allegedly lied to police saying his flatmate was responsible for his girlfriend’s injuries). When it came to light he was responsible, Bird has been stood down indefinitely from playing with the Cronulla Sharks – so is highly unlikely to play again this season. His court case will be held around October the 8th which is 3 weeks after the Grand Final.
Bird is contracted with Cronulla until 2012. This will obviously have to be reviewed by the club as well. NRL boss David Gallop stated that if these allegations are proven, then Bird’s future in the game will be threatened.
Danny Buderus
The talented 30 year old from Newcastle, Danny Buderus confirmed the other night that scans revealed he had a damaged tendon near his right bicep which means he now needs urgent surgery. A 6-month rehab program will follow and then he will take up his UK Super League post with Leeds next year.
Buderus played 220 games for the Newcastle Knights, 21 games in a row for NSW and earned 24 Test Caps for the Kangaroos and 4 as Captain.
Other news…
Tom Learoyd-Lahrs from the Canberra Raiders, has been suspended for seven weeks for a dangerous throw on Newcastle Knight, Ben Cross. It downgraded though from a grade four to three. In better news for the Raiders, they have signed second rower Glen Turner for another two years. Turner is currently injured.
Titan’s Preston Campbell’s broken jaw means he has played his last game for 2008 last week against the Broncos. He sustained the injury in the first half, but urged the medical staff to keep quiet so he could return to the field in the second half.
The Cowboys signed Queensland and Kangaroos rep, Antonia Kaufusi, luring him from the Melbourne Storm on a 3 year deal from next year.

Hi Sports Loungers,
If you missed the show last night, we had our very special hockey correspondent and former Olympian and England Coach, Tricia Heberle giving us a wrap-up of the Kookaburras and Hockeyroos Olympic campaign. Tricia will be our regular hockey correspondent updating the latest in hockey news.
Jen Sampey gave us her usual controversial AFL comments. As long as we beat her in the tips, I'm happy for her to be as controversial as she likes!
Brendan is excited about the final tennis grand slam of the year, the US Open. Already the Aussies are falling down and without Lleyton Hewitt, Tennis Australia have a lot to think about.
Amy-Jane Roberts, our ever-so knowledgeable motorsport correspondent gave us an insight in local rallying as well as Chris Atkinson's chances in the upcoming New Zealand World Rally Championships.
If you're going to the snow before season-end, remember to listen to the Sports Lounge every week because Marcus Lovett reports the latest from Mt Hotham.
Happy sporting sports loungers!
