Hey bit of a random question and may have been answered before: The SCS site (and only this site) seems stuck showing the desktop version on my mobile for some reason, makes it pretty hard to navigate. Anyone had this before?

Its happened to me a few times. I find if I clear my browsing history in settings it seems to fix it.

Met this old legend at the cafe today and had a great chat:

John Brady, North Captain for 3 years in the 50s wore the big V. Was getting about with a 77 year old yoga teaching babe so he's still got it!

That goes back a ways...........great to hear he is travelling well. Certainly, a different era/times back then.

Surely May's hit on Martin falls within the MRP's table? intentional->high impact-> high contact=whatever. Grow some balls and make a decision.

The AFL has scrapped the Grand Final replay, with extra time to decide this year's premiership in the case of a draw.
The League confirmed the historic decision on Tuesday following a meeting of the AFL Commission.
A Grand Final replay has taken place three times – in 1948, 1977 and most recently in 2010 when St Kilda lost to Collingwood.
Under the new rules in the case of a draw, two five-minute halves each way, plus time on, will be played to decide a winner.
If the scores are still tied at the end of the second period, the siren will not ring until the next score, which will decide the flag.
The League hasn't decided if players or the crowd will be made aware they have moved into the 'golden score' period, with the possibility of a message being displayed on the MCG's big screen.

First game of AFL I ever watched was the 2010 GF in a hostel in Vietnam run by an Australian. One of the owners gave out free beer for the course of the day (if I remember I had my first 333 at about 9am...) , and I spent the day drunk and confused. When the siren went he had 30 backpackers all telling him "see you next week!". Poor bloke must've lost a fortune...

Great game, desperate last few minutes, here's a great trivia question for you, who was the last ever player to win a Norm Smith in a drawn GF?

Shame it's gone really, nice quirk of our game!

Technical question Jaca, how did you end uo supporting Sydney?

hayes he had 35 touches or so from memory. Thought BJ deserved it though almost won them that game, every time i see that mark it gives me shivers to know how close they came, a bounce of the ball the right way to milne also and any score would of done. Was a pretty tough one to sit through in that last quarter, was a struggle to back up the next week. Was ecstatic that the result went the right way though. #gopies

I know this guy means good but I'm beginning to hate what he's doing to the classic SC landscape...

New feature coming, check what rnd the trades were made and who was traded. Should get it up tonight (after the kids are in bed) #supercoach

That's ridiculous if all your trades are now exposed...
