put your moon walkin shoes on, its thriller time! a-he-he

AFL...MJ wouldve been so proud of our leauge this week, cause the thriller is back!
Richmond take a leaf out of Geelong's book and win with a kick after the siren. Only this time the Tigers needed a goal not a point so it was all the more of a shock when Jordi Mcmahon kicked it!...Jordi's in there somewhere:


StKilda tried a different tactic this week to beat the Swans by a point at the SCG; praying. Michael O'loughlin had the chance to kick a goal, and make the Swans the first team to beat the Saints all year, but missed. Lets face it, if the Swans had've won, it would've been a huge blow to StKildas ego.

The Cats have achieved back to back thrillers! Last week beating the Hawks by a point after the siren, and this week a win over the Crows by two points before the siren. Paul Chapman and his 6 goals saved the day.

Na na, na na, na na, na na CHAP-MAN!

In Milestones this week. Jimmy Bartel palyed his 150th match, and Darren Milburn his 250th for the cats..... Jimmy Bartel for President.

Adam Simpson played his last game for the Roo's. The club no longer has a player on the list over the age of 55.

Johno notched up the all time Bulldog games record passing Chris Grant. Both Johson and Milburn continue to play despite beeing over 50.

Upsets: West Coast decided to reverse tank to throw us all off the scent, and beat the Bombers in Perth. It didn't work, we still think they are crap anyway.

Port Adelaide has beaten favourites Hawthorn in tough battle at AAMI Stadium. Coach Clarko for the Hawks is still talking finals. He also wants to live in a licorice house on Chocolate avenue

and claims he has actually seen pigs fly :-s.

Buddy Franklin kicked about 1 goal 8 points!...Proving if he has a bad day...Hawthorn just can't win.

Rugby league star for the Bronco's Karmichael Hunt has decided to switch sports and play AFL for the Gold Coast Next year. When asked if he has played many games of Aussie rules, Karmichael said; 'I like Football a whole lot' (Warning may not be actual quote....but it's close).

Karmichael has been working on his AFL skills though, as seen during the week.

This is Karmichael Hunt trying a Handball at training:

And this is Mal Michael teaching Karmichael Hunt to kick a Banana:

He looks confused.

Karmichael is also contracted to play Rugby Union on top of this next year as well. As you can see from the pictures, this guy is a bit of a sports whore, and it won't be long before he has cheated on the AFL and the with many other sports such as these:

Nathan Buckly has finally made a decision about his coaching career!...

No Tigs, No Roo's, It's all about Eddie.

Bucks will be trained under Mick for a few years, then completely steal his job out from under him...officially. Would be awkward if Mick won the last three Premierships before the changeover.

Can I shake your hand while i stab you in the Back coach.

Eddie was just too convincing in the end at luring Bucks back to the Pies...You can see the Love in Bucks eyes, tell me theres nothing going on there:

And we have an exclusive photo of the meeting where Eddie persuaded Bucks to come home to Collingwood:

Warning: may not be actual picture....but it's close

He was forced to watch old Collingwood video's...It was horrible!
Once Bucks has been trained to be exactly like Mick Malthouse, Collingwood can look forward to many more years of the same kind of good to average performances.

.

Cricket....After losing the last Test at Lords, the Aussies needed a good start at Edgbaston. Hughes was dropped, then dropped himself in it by announcing it to the world on Twitter before it was made public.

The first day finished well after some rain to start...No wickets and Watson n Katich were scoring some runs. Enter day 2, another nightmare.

Onions aka 'The Vegetable' caused an Aussie batting colapse with 4/58 and Anderson was unplayable with 5/80. It's so embarrasing losing to carbohydrate.

Day three was completely rained out, and unfotunately could've been our saviour here.

On day 4, it looked like we were recovering, Hilfenhaus striking twice before lunch. he took Collingwood out and the all important Captain Straus.....Then the momentum swung back to the Poms...

Flintoff hit 74 from 79, always a spirit breaker when a bowler plays better than your own batsmen :-s.

As it stands now the Aussies are in to bat and are 2/88, trailing by 25...We will continue to pray for our miracle.

NRL..The Dragons have knocked off the Storm in an epic, high quality battle this weekend 26 to 12. Beeing Victorian though It is bitter sweet to see Melbourne defeated....The Panthers had a tough draw with the warriors after they staged a great comeback. Final score 32 all....

The Raiders thrashed the Broncos 56 to zip leaving their season in tatters. Not even scoring is kind of a spirit breaker.

Wendell gets down with his bad self:

Swimming....Congrats to all our swimmers, in particular our women who have cleaned up in the medals. Marieke Guehrer is stoked with her gold in the 50 metre Butterfly...We are 2....
And she's only 20!...
Bronze medal winner Libby Trickett did well considering she was the only one in the 100 metre freestyle not wearing the super human cheating swimsuit. Even the winner felt guilty about wininng in it. But hey, if you're allowed to wear it, wouldn't you?

Tennis...Sam Stosur has had a win over Serena Williams on the WTA tournament in Los Angeles...Just when we had started to celebrate though, she lost in the next match to Bartoli. Do'h!..Nevermind...Check out her guns, shes like Arnie:

ALPHA...Tonight we talk to our Alpha magazine editor Anthony Sharwood about the latest edition. It features Matthew Richardson, Tassie's bid for an AFL team and Australias best sports blogs...and of course much more.

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.

Peace out*
