AFL Premiership Season 2008

Being one of the few Australians on this site, I live for and love my AFL - and I want to share this with the site, so I'm going to bring you all the results from the 2008 AFL Season round-by-round..
Maybe all MoFo's could pick an AFL team to support for the season, and hopefully your team goes all the way.

There's a young, Norn Irish ex-Gaelic Football player doing rather well over there, is there not? He is, according to a local news article I saw here recently, anyway.

There are a lot of parallels between the two sports so I suppose it's not surprising, although I think the combined-rules matches have been canned for the time being.

Hey Witts, I'm lovin your thread. Altho the mofo community ain't getting behind it which is sad. I'm a bombers fan myself, plus i'm going to the anzac day game too which should be fun.....hopefully we'll come away with the win but the pies have a good list that have been playing badly. So yeah i choose Essendon for your whole points system thingy, but it looks like i'm not versing anyone.....does that mean i win?
