Richmond were bloody shocking today. Cotchin, Edward & Deledio accomplished roughly jack shit and that's their engine room.

And in the second elimination final this week in the NRL, #6 Cronulla Sharks have eliminated the reigning champions, #7 South Sydney Rabbitohs, in a 28-12 win. I don't wanna talk about it

Sadly Lance Franklin has been ruled out to play for the Swans for the rest of the finals.
Hope he gets better. The sport needs him.
In other news Collingwood has let go a number of players including ex premiership player Clinton Young. It's quite sad. He was a key player at Hawthorn and was apart of their 2008 premiership winning season. Played in the Hawks 2012 Grand Final loss to the Swans. His contract ran out at the end of 2012 and Hawthorn would not match the offer that Collingwood made. What happened next is the sad part.. Hawthorn went on to win two premierships after he left.. While at Collingwood he got injured a lot and barely played any games. So he was a big waste of money for the Pies.
Now he will most likely retire being mostly remembered as a Hawthorn player. At least he has a premiership medal. He had a beautiful kick on him.

#1 Sydney Roosters eliminate #5 Canterbury Bulldogs from the finals with a big 38-12 win, with a 30 point rush triggered by a controversial try to Kane Evans.
(Lead referee Matt Cecchin might be the one deemed the Local Man around Canterbury/Bankstown way, I'd think)

Hawthorn have turned things around and smashed Adelaide by 74 points at the MCG. They take on Fremantle next week in Perth with a spot in the Grand Final on the line.
Go Hawks.

Zero class out there from Adelaide. Dominated the ruck and centre clearances on the back of two men but they just turned the ball over at CHF and the Hawks ran off and kicked goals.

#3 North Queensland Cowboys have wiped the floor with #6 Cronulla Sharks in knocking them out of the NRL finals, with a massive 39-0 shutout win. And another year goes by without a title for the Sharks...
And now the grand final qualifiers...
#2 Brisbane Broncos v #1 Sydney Roosters #4 Melbourne Storm v #3 North Queensland Cowboys

... And North Melbourne have made history.., becoming the first team to finish 8th on the ladder to make it to the final four(In this current finals format). After beating a depleted Sydney Swans at ANZ.
Also the second straight season the Roos made the prelims from outside the top four.
Now they have the daunting task of facing the West Coast Eagles next week in Perth.
EDIT: and in some breaking news Sydney superstar, two time Brownlow winner and two premiership player Adam Goodes has retired from the game. Such a great player and person. Always a pleasure to watch. Such a shame his last season was almost derailed by racist f***wits.

The 2015 AFL All Australian Team has been named..
At the backline,,,, shit this gonna take too long.. Let's make this simple:
Should note the team is selected by about ex players and coaches... And they don't always get it right.
Like last year they left out West Coast's Matt Priddis... Who won the Brownlow Medal that year.

Serious allegations coming out of the Bulldogs camp of Michael Talia leaking sensitive information to his brother who plays for Adelaide. I first heard suspicions of this last Thursday and allegations have been bought to the AFL. Campreole alleged last week that they had received no information then this week said that they received it but didn't use it which I find sus since their forwards would start really high up the ground (our defenders always play in front to make interceptions easier) and then double back towards goals for the sneak over the top kick.

I've heard from normally well connected sources that Stratton wasn't the only one to report to Beveridge, Brian Lake did so also but I'm not sure who at the club he reported to.

It's only funny because they didn't die.
Seriously, though... They had a mess of a year as defending champions.

I f***ing hate Damien Barrett. In this weeks Sliding Doors column, he gives us shit and brings up Clay Smith going back on the field as a reason why we are in the wrong. You know, despite the fact that our doctors told Smith that his knee couldn't get more f***ed and that Smith desperately wanted to get back out there.

What makes it even more obnoxious is that his bit on Adelaide is just going "Tex Walker, what a man"

Oh shit Prelim time. The last three featuring Hawthorn have taken 15 years off my life.
I don't believe in fate.. But if fate is real, then it's Freo's game tonight. Hope not.
