and Al throwing cans

You say that as if there is something wrong with it  :huh
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Good job, Darwin is junk but Cairns is worth keeping.

I reckon there's gotta be a catch as to why the AFL were so obliging?

Extra interstate away game perhaps  :huh

No Tigers & Bulldogs were the teams in 2012, Tigers have "on sold" their 2012 game to the Dees

Rich, Melb & Bulldogs were to play 6 games between them over 3 years = 2 games each

Was to be
2010 - Dogs & Dees
2011 - Tigers & Dees
2012 - Tigers & Dogs

Now it will be Dogs & Dees

I forgot about footscray.

Easy enough to do.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,

Crap decision for mine as well. If it was a commercially sound decision to play there then that should still be the case now.

Smacks of popularity over prudence for mine.
