MODO AT THE MCG
Maureen Dowd previews today’s Collingwood-Port Adelaide preliminary final:
Posted by Tim Blair at September 20, 2003 12:59 PMPort Adelaide ... aren't right. Byron Pickett ... will have a ... lot of injuries.
An expected sell-out crowd of about 80,000 is expected to witness the Magpies ... advance to a second successive Grand Final.
Go ... Collingwood.
I'm still not clear on what sport this is, or whether it involves a ball, but really, I wish you all the best with it.

The nice thing about Australian Rules Football is it involves a shockingly large amount of really really cheap beer.
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies! Go Pies!
Aw shit, support an out-of-state team ... or support Collingwood.
Why is life so bloody cruel?

Posted by: Scott Wickstein at September 20, 2003 at 07:46 PMSo Tim, I reckon your next poll should be "What excuse will Eddie Macguire use when Brisbane thrash Collingwood... AGAIN" GO LIONS!!!!!
Posted by: Todd at September 20, 2003 at 11:11 PMThat's why there's no posts; Blair must have died of shock- Collingwood won.
Posted by: habib bickford at September 20, 2003 at 11:24 PMI don't want to know what is going on in the team room; the pirate waiver in dealing with cabin boys ended 24 hrs ago
Posted by: habib bickford at September 21, 2003 at 02:34 AMSwift, the appalling colors are purposefully used as a distraction from the very real oppression and warmongering in our midst. Open your eyes!!! While we watch sports, they're stealing oooooiiiiilll and forming cabals with the Joooooos!
Posted by: Jerry at September 21, 2003 at 04:22 AMSigh, I can't stand Aussie Rules but my office, as offices are wont to do, has a footy tipping competition. I picked Collingwood but probably fell right to the bottom of the list by choosing the Swans (that will teach me for going against the home team).
Posted by: Darlene at September 21, 2003 at 01:09 PMI too am not terribly clear what this sport is, but if it involves violence, I'm in favor of it. Go somebody!

I like your style
Posted by: Swift at September 21, 2003 at 05:05 PMI just thought of something. If the pies pay the umpires enough and cheat through to win, does that mean that Tim will never change the site back to the original design again?? We have to spend a year looking at that stupid bloody cheating bird?? No, please no, oh the humanity... Won't Someone Please think of the Children????
Posted by: Todd at September 21, 2003 at 05:18 PMA tragedy has happened - Port got hammered. But...I am man enough to recognise talent and form when I see it. Non Aussies and biologists should remember though that Collingwood and Port Adelaide are both sub-species of that great Australian bird - the Magpie!! Go Pies next weekend!!!
