AFL - The Basics 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Australian rules football, also known as Australian football, Aussie rules, or simply "football" or "footy" is a code of football played with an prolate spheroid ball, on large oval shaped fields, with four posts at each end. No more than 18 players of each team are permitted to be on the field at any time and the primary aim of the game is to score by kicking the ball between the posts. The winner is the team who has the highest total score by the end of the match.There are several different ways to advance the ball, including kicking and hand passing. When hand passing one hand must be used to hold the ball and the other fist to hit it — throwing the ball is not allowed. Players running with the ball must bounce or touch it on the ground every 15 metres. There is no offside rule and players can roam the field freely. Australian rules is a contact sport. Possession of the ball is in dispute at all times except when a free kick is paid. Players who hold on to the ball too long are pe Read more:Basics
AFL 2007 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Before I get started... if you don't know what AFL is or other known as Aussie Rules or Footy... then you might want to start here. (It would be worth it).If your from the land down under... you'd remember the AFL 2006 final - St Kilda V's West Coast. What a game that was! I loved every moment of it especially with West Coast Eagles winning. (Yeah thats my team). For St Kilda it was a sad loss, I remember Barry... he wasn't a happy boy. If your not a fan of AFL, stay with me, you will be by the finish. The 2007 season kicks off soon with its pre-start the NAB cup. If you want to see more go to the AFL site. Or stick around their will be more.Pictures:1) Ben Cousins - West Coast Eagles 2006 Season2) Ben Cousins - Out surfing3) Nick Riewoldt - St Kilda 2006
Brook Fraser [shodow feet] 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It is my pleasure to bring you today for the first time a major New Zealand artist. Ask most people here in N.Z they will tell who Brook Fraser
is. As a 19 year-old singer-songwriter from Wellington, New Zealand whose debut album What To Do With Daylight catapulted her into the charts with four number one radio hits and sales exceeding seven times platinum. She currently resides in Australia.It's the sound of her blossoming love affair with Africa (the album is named for an orphan in Rwanda with whom Brooke has a special bond), of passion for justice, authenticity and faith, and of hanging at her down-under base camp absorbing, reading, watching, talking, mulling over these things.This following vid is my favorite track at the moment and is from her latest album Albertine, the track - Shadow Feet. Check out her site here.
I Run Away [Yeah We Know] 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I'm not in to trash blogging but... with no question about it Britney is the worlds most popular chicky babe... with her latest lesbian styles and her stints in and out of rehab she doesn't make it easy on herself. Read more:Run Away
Buying Beckham 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Beck's move to the States has brought some questions. My biggest question is why do people like them so much? Is it that people have had enough of the trash stars such as your Lindsay Lohan's and Paris Hilton's. What about the big mouthed tube hoggers such as Donald Trump Rosie O'Donald.Either way, The Beckham
's sure would have there issues, at least they will bring some class to the world of America and Hollywood. [more GQ] Read more:Buying

300 - [seriously insane] 1970-01-01 00:59:59 meh.. I can't believe how much training Gerard Butler went through to take on the role as King Leonidas (in the 300 movie). It's seriously insane
. If you didn't see 300 previously here on marc|thommo then go here. Butler speaks with the Daily Record...Butler, 36, admitted: "When I went into this film I was in really bad shape. I had just come from Italy and three different people who I had never met before had commented on me being fat."I got the role shortly after the film got the go ahead and I had made a promise to myself that I would make this the film of my life, so I went a little crazy."The boot camp for the movie was very intense but I had already been training for three months before that."I had my own trainer six-days-a week doing two hours a day working on weights and cardio."I was running and circuit training but then I started doing it with Mark Twight, who is a mountain climber who trains other climbers, cage fighters and undercover operatives. The guy is just insan

Hot? Not? Or Bland? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Do you think the Idol S6 guys are bland? Out of them all Timberfake, Chris Richardson is not to bad, although it would be good if he can sing in tune. Sanjaya Malakar is cute but his Stevie Wonder impersonation so does not work for him. I could go on... I wonder who will be out in the next few weeks. [below Chris Richardson] Read more:Bland

Ghost Rider 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ghost Rider
is sure to be action packed. We haven't had it here in New Zealand yet... they are so so so slow. I've seen the trailer a few times now. This makes me laugh, it's on the website and also at the start of the movie.It would be a good thing then if your head is on fire to make sure you wear a helmet? You wouldn't want to hurt yourself. It would be a good thought to keep your head (if it's on fire) away from the fuel tank of the motorbike...lol Maybe just lighting your head on fire is not a good thing... lol. So funny. Eh you would think that no one would do that sort of thing... but not everyone has common sense.A young looking Nicolas Cage above. Movie Trailer // Site Read more:Ghost

Mute Math 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Mute Math, the electro-alt-rock, the funny name and the hot voices. I like these guys, they have lots of energy. Check out the clip below Mute Math, track tittle - Typical, performing on Jimmy Kimmel.Mute Math’s style is quirky and their influences seem wide and varied. Some tracks sound post-U2, there are hints of Coldplay, a dash of The Mars Volta energy, all upheld by often very DJ Shadow influenced grooves. Vocally, Paul Meany has moments reminiscent of Police-era Sting and has the knack of speaking truth and honesty without ever sounding preachy or cliché. “I blame it [our style] on the past forty years of music,” explains Meany. And he means it. Their repertoire of live instruments include a Fender Rhodes, a Keytar (what you get when you cross a keyboard with a guitar) and even some weird homemade instrument called The Atari. Accounting for the oddness? Over half the members of Mute Math are ex-members of the now disbanded Earthsuit.site here.source Read more:Mute Math
The Funny Farm [N.Z Hospitals] 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I haven't laughed so much but felt so sad at the same time. I'm headin off to bed I'm buggered. But just so you know, my Mom and I went and visited my Nan tonight in hospital. As you can understand she's is so sick and we are not to sure whats wrong with her. Over the previous 9 weeks we've been given the run around by Auckland's Doctors and Nurses. What ever you do, do not get sick in New Zealand the health care system runs close to a 3rd would country, it's sux's.I experienced it first hand tonight... what a shocking operation they run in the hospitals - I can't believe that the people that work their don't even look after anyone. I wanna go in to details... but I'll post on it later. Some of the stuff that went on in the 40 minutes we were there was just crazy. I had to laugh just make the situation better or I maybe I was laughing because the whole thing was one big joke. Eh I haven't given what really happen, well that will be another few posts I think... sta Read more:Funny

From Where I Sit 2007-03-02 06:16:00 From where I sit...Is it just me or is it that people are so shallow these days. I was looking at what are some of the most popular sites/blogs around the net (or is it web 2.0 these days). It goes from bad to worse in regards to content. Why is it that porn sites/blogs are rated the highest, are people that hooked on the shit? Lame.From where I sit...The global warming thing, did you know its a crock! Yeah hard to believe I know. Scientist use it to get more funding and Al Gore uses to get exposure and comes out looking like a hero (did you see him at Academy Awards...looser). Studies have shown the earth has gone up half a degree since the early 1930's. We should be careful what goes into the atmosphere... don't get me wrong. From where I sit...Why do people get so upset about a simple mistake on a blog? It didn't worry me until someone said something to me the other day. While going through some comments that people had left I realised half of them were so stupid... d
