Basketball shouldn't be an Olympic sport anyway.

Over the years too many glory towners have joined.

Soccer, tennis, golf.  No one gives a crap about an Olympic medal in these sports.  It's not the pinnacle and it's just more games for everyone to play.

It's a deadset pisstake.  If the Olympics isn't at the pinnacle of the sport you compete in, that sport shouldn't be played there IMHO.

A Saturday night game for us at the MCG. Collingwood's hone game, for what it is worth.
Lots of tickets sold: not easy to get seats.

Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos:
[1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

Ready for tomorrow night.

I'll be there, probably up near the roof again.

The great John Mayall has passed away at the age of 90.

Mayall was instrumental in bringing the blues to generations of new audiences. So many great musicians cycled through his bands.

RIP

OK guys and girls.
Its that time again to get some more data on who is our best 22 players.

As always, assume everyone is fit except for Silvagni+Docherty who are out for the year with knees.

Pick your best team...use this to help with positions.

In Brazil authorities have found traces of cocaine in several sharks, speculation is rife about how the monsters of the deep got the stuff in their system, but authorities are worried that the drug could have similar effects on Mr Bitey as it does people.

One researcher was heard to comment,
