Ddan can explain why you'll actually be "barracking" rather than "rooting"....

but what you call it doesn't matter.

"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in

Final score 97 to 97....

Just one more root America and our team may have got the win.

Great game though.

A game can end in a tie?

That would never fly here.

Shorty Junior just commented that Jason Holmes will be expecting "over time"....

Yup.  Our game can end in a tie.  It's quite rare in AFL footy though.

St. Kilda seem to be quite good at it however.

I think rooting is the right word.....After all, if it's your team, then you do in fact give a fvck......  8)
Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty, and the pigs like it...
