SHOWDOWN: CATS ARE ON IT

That Time Zone thing got me again - just dialed in 'AFL GRAND FINAL' on the Search Machine and just found out the game has been played and the Cats - sadly - won . . .

Geelong 119 - Collingwood 81

I dunno whats worse - not winning the Grand Final or losing to a team called 'The Cats'


Gracious Sportsmanship:

To my beloved 'Pies: Hey guys I tried . . .

    Maybe next year we'll see an all bird Final:
    Crows vs Magpies.
