    You are in danger of taking what I say seriously. I suggest that you stop it this very instant.


    And it was the one to the left by the rose bush if you really want to know.

    Not much to understand, you just have to kick the ball between the two big sticks at either end. :p



    I loved how the Brisbane 'Bears' Mascot was a Koala.

    How true Luigi. The koala is not actually a bear, but a marsupial. A metatherian even. Bears are members of the order Carnivora (which also includes cats, dogs, hyaenids, mustelids and phocids), a group belonging to the eutherians, or placental mammals.

    The Brisbane 'Koalas' just didn't sound tough enough I guess :p

    Lions are pretty tough but not exactly native to Australia.

    I'm kinda disappointed they messed up the whole Brisbane B's thing.

    Brisbane Broncos
    Brisbane Bullets
    Brisbane Bandits...

    They should have named themselves the Brisbane Bandicoots or something.

    How about..

    the Brisbane Bastards who get to spend more money than any other team on there players just because they're in a non-AFL state?

    I suppose that would be a bit hard to fit on the jerseys though :p

    I think their winning streak might have something to do with the fact that their coach was one of the greatest players ever to play the game.

    I was there for last years grand final and the year before (actually I have been there for 6 grand finals in all)

    It was AMAZING - it was cold, it was windy, it was wet - it was great to have maggy pie

    we were surrounded by magpie supports -
    at the end of the game we were surrounded by a flood of tears.

    I definately think they will go back to back - as for being able to spend to more money - name me another team were everyone was willing to take a pay cut just to remain toegther - except for the guy who went to perth and of course buckley who left to "play for finals football" when he actually meant "to play for losing finals football"

    they already have, three in a row is much rarer.

    DOH!

    I Meant back to back to back

    which is nothing but
    back to back

    and a

    back to back

    so on that basis it is highly possible

    but string them together to form
    back to back to back
    and it becomes a lot rarer
