What a big week in footy! The Bombers flying high after thumping North Melbourne, the Tigers spoiling cheating Carlton's party, Melbourne appearing to throw in the towel for the 2008 season about seven minutes in, and the Sydney Swans endeavoring to lift the ratings for SBS's bigamy melodrama Big Love with their special brand of "football".
