The AFL starts again tonight and I know there are some posters on here that like their Aussie Rules (and some posters who don't). I thought we may as well have another thread about it as I'm sure the rivalry will begin again between supporter groups.

Anyone entered the AFL, Sportsbet or Herald Sun free tipping competitions? Do you have a league? Anyone interested in participating in a SAU one?

Anyone entered a Dream Team or Super Coach squad? Again these are free competitions with A new Toyota FJ Cruiser as 1st prize for Dream Team and $50,000 1st prize for Super Coach.

I'm going to the Crows v Hawks on Saturday night. Should be a good game although I'm not confident that the Crows will win.

I'll be there on Saturday night, with our regular crew in the members. I've tipped us but not with a huge amount of confidence . Hodge is carrying that achilles injury so that could play into our hands.

We need to match them in the middle and contain Buddy. Davis, assuming he gets the job, could be in for a big night!

As for Port, a flogging could be on the cards. Pies in fine form, at home, Port missing some quality.

Well, I'm 4 from 5 so far, bloody Cats ruined any chance of 8.

Seems I was right with the Port game, not that it was hard to predict. Not good to see Schultz do his knee, how bad is it, I've not heard? ACL?

Davis needed a solid performance and he delivered! Buddy kicked 2 6, I remember him kicking 1 6 against Bock and they raved about Bocky shutting him down. What Davis lacks in pace he makes up for in every other area.

Tambling, I wasn't sold on him until tonight, watching him from the sidelines I'm now a believer! We were sitting right in front of where he hit Roughy... awesome stuff! And his fluke soccer to hit a Target, freakish.

It's only round one and we got more than a fair run with the ump's for a change, but I like what I'm seeing. Porps shoulder was the lowlight.

  • 3 weeks later...

LOL, I was expecting to be flogged but hoped we'd only get done by a couple!!

Who could've predicted an 11 goal turn-around??

We gave them a full quarter head start then brought out the baseball bats and mugged them :domokun:

Port = 17

Crows = 13

Shame they'll finish above us on the ladder but nothing more satisfying than a Showdown XXX win :cheers:

True Dave.....if only we could bottle whatever they're on whenever they face the Crows then give them a drink of that stuff at the start of every other game, we'd be on our way to another flag

That aint gonna happen anytime soon me thinks :/

I like your theory but the boys looked pretty spent after that Showdown and history has proven that those games take so much out of you for the following week.

With our form leading up to the Showdown, I'm thinking GCS may have notched up next weeks game a very possible win :/

Port should hammer them. Along with what you say though Pete, it'd definitely help having a stack of players who missed the showdown to get a run this weekend.

having a bit of a read though the shit storm of comments on a news.com.au article about Neil Craig, and supporters having a go at him for his coaching etc. One loss and he gets hammered with heavy criticism all over the place...

Not slagging off any AFC supporters on the forum here; a usual Monday after a crows loss, it's always Craigy or the umpires copping a rubbishing by the supporters in my office. How about some of their useless muppet out of form players?

    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
