No idea why someone hasn't started a thread about this already. I guess I'll have to. MAIN CARD Urijah Faber v Renan Barao - Barao is a huge talent and a real chance here, but something tells me the experience of Faber will get him over the line in the main event. Decision. Hector Lombard v...

I started this poll back in '05, and I thought I'd start it again this season. So who is the most annoying little sod playing in the AFL today? You know the kind of player I'm talking about. Small men, often with extroverted natures, who either with their antics, talent, playing style or a...

I started this poll back in '05, and I thought I'd start it again this season. Alan Didak has been removed from this season's poll because he's 6ft tall and therefore technically not a small player. So who is the most annoying little sod playing in the AFL today? You know the kind of player...

I'm just wondering if anyone else has been watching this survival series on the Discovery channel. Obviously inspired by Bear Grylls' series Man vs Wild, this one has a bit of a twist. The survival expert has his pretty blonde wife with him. Discovery has just screened the second episode...

At the start of the season, I tipped the Bulldogs to play the Saints in the grand final. I guess I have considerable egg on my face right now, because this sure doesn't look like eventuating. But I'm sure I wasn't entirely alone. Come on folks, 'fess up. Who else tipped one of these two former...

Before the season proper began, I was amazed at the number of people, both on Big Footy and even professional media commentators who had selected Adelaide to make the eight and Essendon to miss out. Even after the pre-season grand final many bookmakers had Essendon at around 3-1 to make the...

Starts this Friday night (April 29) on Fuel TV at 8.30pm AEST. (Unfortunately the first episode clashes with the Royal Wedding).

I've just noticed that Survivor: Redemption Island Russell v Boston Rob is now on the GO! channel, Tuesdays at 7.30pm. There I was hoping it would be on regular Channel Nine. They've stuffed us around again. Can anyone tell me how many episodes GO! has screened so far?

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/wafl/8138807/wafl-backs-state-leagues-knockout-comp/ I reckon this will be awesome. It will give our WAFL teams national exposure and help lift the profile. Another really positive thing is that those morons at Foxtel will be forced to stop calling...

I'm surprised no one's started a thread about this yet. We've just had episode two on Fuel TV after the coaches had picked teams. I was disappointed Lentz didn't beat that showpony Alex. He did quite well in the first round then just got sloppy. My favourite fighter in this series is Cody...

Like most non-Collingwood fans, I absolutely loathe Collingwood and I'm desperately hoping St. Kilda beat them in the grand final replay. This got me to thinking about why I hate Collingwood so much. I couldn't really even think of any specific reason - I just do! So why do you hate...

I started this poll back in '05, and I thought I'd start it again this season. Although Jason Akermanis has now been sacked by the Bulldogs, he was a Bulldogs player for most of the year so I've included him in the poll. I've removed Daniel Kerr from the poll because he's played so little footy...

...said Robert Walls in the third quarter of the pre-season grand final last night, stating the bleeding obvious. Ok, now I may not have the best eyesight in the world, but both the Dogs and St. Kilda wore dark coloured jerseys with white numbers and both teams have red and white on the front...

For those of us interested in anthropology. Thursday February 25, 2010 - 8.30pm ABC1 - The Neanderthal Code http://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/netw/201002/programs/ZY9921A001D2010-02-25T203000.htm

Yep, this needs a thread of its own. Wow, there's been some shockers hasn't there? :D I think The Ultimate Fighter series has given us a real look at the personailities of some fighters as well as going by what we see of them in the ring. Some that definitely come to mind for me: Chris Leben...

Begins Tuesday October 20th 9.30pm on Nine. :)

I'm very curious to know roughly how much these guys get paid. Obviously some of them are on secure contracts with the UFC which presumably includes them doing marketing and promotions as well as fighting. And then presumably, fighters are paid by the fight as well. Some UFC fighters are...

http://www.claremontfc.com.au/news/family-the-main-focus-for-retiring-crabb A very sad day when one of your all-time sporting heroes retires. :( Having played for both Claremont and Port Adelaide made him pretty bloody heroic in my eyes.

A pet hate of mine is the way commentators these days seemingly always refer to a players height in centimetres rather than in feet and inches. Now I know we've moved to the metric system long ago in Australia and I know it's definitely easier to gauge the length or height of some things using...

Wayne Schwass made his debut on Foxtel calling the Sydney v Brisbane game on Saturday night. Interesting that they'd get Schwatter to call his old team. But what did we all think? Personally, I was highly impressed. :thumbsu:

My video tape let me down again. :( Can someone please give me a rundown on last night's episode? Thanks.

I started this poll back in '05, and I thought I'd start it again this season. Now that Jeff Farmer and Brodie Holland are gone from the AFL it should interesting to see which way the votes go. So who is the most annoying little sod playing in the AFL today? You know the kind of player I'm...

I like how this new you-can't-rush-a-behind rule is being applied because it still allows a behind to be rushed, but only when the defender is under pressure and has no other option. But why can't they apply the same common sense interpretation to deliberate out-of-bounds? I hate it with a...

I must say that compared to the commentary teams Seven and Nine have had over the years, Foxtel's current choice of AFL commentators is very mediocre to say the least. Obviously the death of Clinton Grybas put a big hole in their lineup, but you'd think they could have done a better job with...

In the last couple of days I have had Hotmail reject emails sent to Hotmail addresses from my ISP account. I am sent to this http://postmaster.live.com address and I have no idea what's going on. I called my ISP tech support and they couldn't help me either. Can anyone please help?

Well, I thought the first episode was most interesting. It featured the preliminary fights to determine who would be on the UK team. It looks like there's certainly plenty of talent amongst the young UK fighters.

Starts this Monday night Feb. 16, 2009, 9.30pm on Nine. http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,28383,25000987-5016681,00.html Can't wait for this series. :thumbsu:

Here's one for the Reds diehards, and I know there's quite a few of us on this forum. :) Who are your all-time favourite Liverpool players? Mine are probably a bit offbeat and include none of the current squad. I was going to list ten, but that just wouldn't feel like I'd be doing a few of...

Starts tonight on Nine at the ungodly hour of 10.30pm. For those of us who actually waited for it to come on free-to-air. No spoilers please!
