AFL... IT'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKKKKKKK!

AFL...Its been oh so long since our first love has started off our blog, but we feel its time. We also feel its time for the AFL to get over the Ben Cousins vs Judd hype, which no longer exists btw. They should let two worthier teams open the season, like, oh I don't know, maybe the PREMIERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Melbourne and Richmond could have put on a closer game than that. Speaking of, one of the Demons finest is now Carltons finest, good ol Brock McLean.

Eddie Maguire has come and and claimed to have known gay AFL players. And being the president of Collingwood, it seems theres a good chance that is the team they are from. He's also indicated this was a while ago, again possibly narrowing it down to the senior list at the club. We don't know who exactly he is referring to, but we do know he's probably the first person in the AFL to admit that GAY footy players do walk among us! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, is if we didn't already know.

The footy was creepy this weekend, with 3 teams victorious by 56 points ohhhhhhhhhh scary. Even scarier is this photo of Gary Ablett in a Gold Coast uniform! Whoever came up with this must be desperate, Gold Coast Gary is Geelong Gary for at least another year, so everyone will have to cop it!


Collingwood have flown out of the blocks against the Premieship favourites, the Dogs. The Bulldogs appeared to have a minor premiership/NAB cup hangover, and could'nt overtake the rampant Pies. Thanks for stuffing up our tips again Collingwood.

The Saints may have won on the scoreboard, but at what cost. Two of their big guns Koshitzke and Dawson are up on serious charges for rough conduct. Dawson may plead going for the ball, even though the contact was late. Koshitzke might as well pack his suit cases for Hawaii cause we won't be seing him on field for at least 4 weeks....And all the yanks say; 'wheres his helmet???????'Brisbanes twin mac trucks Fevola and Brown are destroying the lives of everyone in their paths. Hopefully they cross paths this weekend and save us all the trouble. Steve Johono Johnson had goal of the year rapped up for the Cats in round one with his Gary Ablettesc goal running towards the boundary line. Then Fev dribbles one in from the Boundary line.

And what is going on in the world when Freo are not only winning, but thrashing one of the top sides Adelaide???? Is it finally safe to tip them again???....Sitting second on the ladder everyone is wondering if they are for real, or if taking a picture might last longer.

F1....The curious case of Jenson Button continues with his second Melbourne GP win in a row! Mark Webber was well placed starting in second, but the race went from bad to worse after coliding with burnout boy Lewis Hamilton. Lewis was so happy with his practice session times on Friday he thought he'd entertain melbourne with some more pollution. Some say it's harmless, some say throw the book at him, most say Lewis is finally AWESOME. The only person he was really hurting was himself, he could've passed out from exhauxst poisoning. But has anyone ever really experienced death by burnout???

Race leader Vettel spun off the track, leaving us to wonder what could have been for Mark if he had just calmed the F&%k down! He survived the first corner carnage with Kobayashi and Alonso knocking M-Shu off the track... We talk to F1 expert Joe Saward about what this season might hold for the new teams and the comeback drivers.

NRL...Mighty St George are on top of the ladder again, much like last year. But we will try not to get too excited until the end of the year, as that is where it all seems to fall apart for the Dragons...Oh who cares yipee Kya we's on top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Roosters where on top but after a thrashing from the Bulldogs, they have been relegated to 6th.

The Storm charge on with a good win ove rthe Panthers 16-10 and head into 3rd place. But salary cap issues plague the league. Newcastle have the cash to Pinch Johnathon Thurstan, but will the deal go through? The Storm say they play for the love and not the money. But the Gold Coast just can't help themselves, and are in trouble for accepting a free house one of their sponsors have donated.

Cricket...Nathan Hauritz is not appearing on our blog for being a legend. He is appearing for causing the most expensive over in Aussie test history. McDonald breathes a sigh of relief as he steps out of the books.

After a horror first innings the Aussies breathed a sigh of relief as the Black caps had a nightmare innings of their own. Taylor got the fastest Kiwi century and ended up on 138, but what would have been if Mitchel Johnson didn't drop him on 52! Mitch made up for it with 4 for 59, and top figures. He was only outdone by New Zealands Vettori with 4 for 36.

Mumbai are on top of the Indian Premier League table followed by Bangalore and Rajistan. The Night Riders and Dare Devils are playing off for a top spot today.

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


Peace out*.
