"New sexy player calendar to be launched next week
The AFL’s sexiest stars will be launched on the world stage when the latest “Men for All Seasons” calendar is released next week.
The calendar will be sold overseas after an agent saw it as a potential hit with the British gay market. Photographer Tony Ryan plans to send an initial shipment of 500 to a British distributor and hopes to sell 15,000 in Australia."
And this:
*A London newspaper said Gladiator star Russell Crowe was reduced to tears after a team of AFL players blasted his design for a new jersey, saying it made them look like a bunch of fairies.
The Oscar-winning star had been invited to come up with a new green-and-gold strip for his favourite team, the Orara Valley Axemen, the Daily Star reported on Thursday. Crowe took his inspiration from the 1960s but the players hated it.
Friends said Crowe, 37, took the criticism badly. “Russ is tearing his hair out,” an unnamed friend said. “He wanted to play a major role in his favourite team’s success, but he’s made them look like a bunch of fairies.”
I was tantalizingly close to the perfect 8 last week until it slipped away at the final siren with the Power's conquest of the Bombers and the Hawks game winner with time expired.
Turtle with caution this week and Good Luck to all!

OK, I'm nervous about this week's tips for a few reasons: 1. I'm not sure my luck can hold out much longer. 2. Frank jinxed me with praise. ;). and 3. I always get Ms Pez's picks first and she pick the same eight as I did.
Ms Pez says, and I begrudgingly agree:
Tigers
Cats
Hawks
Swans
Power
Lions
Bombers
Saints
It's a tough week. There are some desperate teams. Good luck, everyone!

Once again we see a drunk edperl posting at 3:30 in the morning! Very nice tips, perl, but I think there should be an 'r' somewhere in 'Tigers'.

Good job by Port, though. Thought there might be a letdown, but they pulled through for the W.
And congrats to Beezer, as the winner of the Survivor Competition! This was a tough week to pick a survivor, but nice work.
