gozaimaas 61 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 It starts off about respect and ends up with someone making a cornt of themselves. Vegemite, alcohol, gambling, violence. Just standard Aussie sh1t lol. Tubs you will be glad to know Adam Goodes made his return to afl last night being subbed on late in the game and making an impact instantly.
