I'm with ya mate this split round is the pits.

On a side note, this MP needs to stay classy.

Asked what she looked for in a partner, Lambie didn’t hesitate. “They must have heaps of cash and they’ve got to have a package between their legs, let’s be honest,” she said.

“And I don’t need them to speak, they don’t even need to speak. The perfect man.”

A budding suitor, 22-year old Jamie, called into the station, where Lambie, who will grill some of Australia’s most powerful figures in Senate hearings over the next six years, gave him a brief interrogation.

Lambie asked if he was rich. “I’m just a bit concerned that at 22 years old and living in Tasmania, you might not be there yet,” she said.

Jamie assured her he had inherited a small fortune.

Could he handle the demands of dating a powerful 43-year-old woman? “I’ve been about a fair bit, ay,” Jamie said.

“Are you well hung?” the federal senator for Tasmania asked.

“Like a donkey,” Jamie replied.

Mark Robinson has said on AFL 360 tonight that free agent, James Frawley has "committed" to Collingwood and will be at the Pies in 2015.

Came across this yet again, never fails to give me goosebumps. Would have to be one of the best individuals performances in a quarter of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvH5yPHOaVg
In a game that really mattered yes.

Not the right place I guess, but this is the best individual game, exhibiting brilliance I have ever seen. I still remember some of what I saw that day..to this day. I was 16, was there with my father.

Phil Carman, round 20, 1975

St Kilda 20.17 (137) v Collingwood 24.12 (156)

During his extraordinary debut season for Collingwood after crossing from Norwood at the age of 24, “Fabulous” Phil Carman sizzled early in 1975 as a ruck-rover or a key forward. After breaking his foot and missing eight matches, he returned in round 19 wearing white boots. In his second match in white boots, against St Kilda at Moorabbin, he reached his apogee as a league footballer by kicking 11 goals and giving several away in a performance described as almost perfect. In the dying minutes, he led Collingwood on a six-goal burst to steal victory.

Edit: he came second in the Brownlow that year after missing 8 games in a season of less games than we have now. Smacks a bit of what may happen to Gaz this year. I hope not.

Not sure who accurate it is, I don't really rate Robbo at all as a journo. He talks some sh*t!

Tom Mitchell all day every day. If he is on the market next year, name his own price. As for forwards, White, and that West Coast bloke are rubbish. Reid, Cloke and Elliott is the go.

I recall watching that game at home with my family, who are all die-hard Geelong supporters and just sitting frozen after the last Nick Davis goal.

I don't think anyone said a word for about 20 minutes afterwards, we just sat in silence staring at the TV. Can't imagine what it would have been like to be a Sydney supporter at that game, incredible!

Tom Mitchell I suspect is going nowhere. Can't see Swans being dumb enough to let him go.
Would absolutely love him at Carlton but Swans would be nuts not to pay him what he is worth.
Barely played more than two full games in a row this season though. 2014 season for him been a write off.
Be interesting if he comes back for finals and is 100% fit. It is a nice luxury Swans will have at finals time.

The loss of the COLA will squeeze a few out in the next few seasons.

He's on 500k, Swans had to pay overs to keep him away ffrom Giants.
