I do not follow football or understand the scoring…any code…but pleased the under dogs (no pun intended) won…watching news/breaks….the look of delirious joy on the victors…is priceless….I hope the under dogs pull it off in Sydney also…
And they did…:)
Mr Knox, do you barrack for an AFL club?
My club is Collingwood, but unfortunately they did not make finals at all 🙁
My tip for this Grand Final game is Swans by at least 4 goals. Not a “Port” loss but it will be a substantial loss I reckon.
No. It’s funny over the years some have tried to suggest I favour AFL over NRL but I honestly couldn’t care less. Sometimes posts are just a reflection of what happens in scheduling, or lands in your inbox. It’s not my doing if Seven sends more AFL info than Nine does NRL for example. Sometimes the sports posts draw huge traffic because people search the info online, but I don’t consider it a TVT strength. Any blog is a reflection of its author after all. I can’t bear code wars, in the past they have led to all sorts of pointless arguments, so now I shut them down. My philosophy is live and let live… whatever sport you enjoy then good for you.
Is Channel 7 Main Channel (70) switching to HD again in Sydney?
Will this stay after the match? Or is it just for the day? Or did I miss something?
No switch but 7mate is HD in Sydney.
Ah ok. Might need a little tweak on the article David. 7mate is on Channel 73 in Sydney…. not 70
