    They should scrap the nab cup and have a longer season. That'll mean more SC, trades, fun!

    To add to that, I'm glad there's no more byes! I hope they don't ruin the game and make a top 10.

    I agree with that. Everyone should play each other twice - home and away.

    Good date that GF is on hopefully the pies salute for me.

    Should make season 25 weeks and play each team 3 times over 2 years, problem is season can't start earlier as the AFL don't have the MCG SCG or Gabba till late March because of cricket commitments

    Fez, I think we worked out previously that we have the same bday...

    Hawks won the 08 granny on my bday! was an awesome day obviously, and easily my most memorable bday! and spent the day with another hawks supporter with the same bday. haha

    Ned I understand that that's why the season can't be extended but if it could that would be my solution.

    Ant u sure it was 08 I could almost swear the granny in 07 was on the 29th the next season the 28th
