I assume you kept tabs on the spanish F1 NCB ?
McLaren sure have sorted their car out now to RB's pace.
Shame Piastri screwed up.
AA minor happy ressult for DR finishing above his team mate.
WTF goping on with the Ferrari's, MB have also lifted their game finally.

Yep, bit more competition now - but I think it shows just how ahead of the game Verstappen is as a driver (Rather than the dominance being down to the car itself).

Ferrari is... well, just being Ferrari. If we go by comparison of the last big title drought, we're in 1997 (Although much, much, much less competitive than 1997)

Do you just correct people on trivial bullshit that nobody cares about? Like when someone calls Dundee united 'Dundee' and you chime in like they've just committed the world's most ridiculous error. 

Mate, nobody gives a fark

Trivial in your tiny mind. People and things have names for a reason, fuckin use them.

The laziness and lack of intelligence from your generation is mind blowing. 🤡🤡🤡

Ok let's talk about Alex quarter finals in the French open 

Mate I hope he wins!!! I'm a massive sports fan in general, especially Football, Cricket & Rugby League. I've never been able to get into AFL or Motor sport (which I didn't even consider a sport anyway). As long as the discussion doesn't involve AFL, I'm all good 👍

This posters on this forum are reasonably polite most of the time Obviously there will be differences of opinion but not too much name calling or bullying.I don't  know if many here ever went on Football Anarchy-now that was a madhouse  with racist,sexist and homophobic  comments all over the place.

I don't think robbos quote meant the way you read it Booney.

Agreed mate its pretty good and civil here - FA was a mosh pit.

lol I got to say reminds me of my Toons instead of Toon but alas, no harm but seems sutho is a details man whereas others like me are not and as you say wgaf.

All sutho takes all types for I have my issues that no one would care about that game, footy as its described down there, why didn't they retain where the game really came from, gaylic football in the guise of trivial bs :)

Fair enough if they count attendances as their barometer, but AFL is a niche sport in Sydney, football is bigger than the sport of AFL.
AFL is bigger than the A-League no doubt, but not the sport.

They are averaging 24 at their home games that's more then a league teams and Nrl teams so it's successful for them

AL started 05, GWS 2010 having just looked it up.
So WSW had the headstart and numbers, then the decline began and here we are.

Actually it confirms my comments re GWS ROI, christ almighty 14yrs to get 24k and rate it - omg nothing like having $$$ to burn and spin doctoring down south.
Anyway enough of that shit.

Good on the aussie making the French qrtr's.

Also young Scot - MacIntyre winning the Canadian Open @ 27yrs.
Dad his caddy and pocketing US$1.69M.
Tell ya, golf is mega bucks and as hard as making it to top flight in football.
Millions play it and have hopes But damn IF you make it - kaching.

24k ? I assume.
Well a pin drop in the big picture - for the amount of $$$$$'s invested over the years any other code would have had to pack up whereas they have the resource to waste and play the spin game to impress.
Not hard to beat aleague with all that money AND our game is not those levels of filling large stads, this was the AL/Lowy red herring, early days of NRL was well supported when there was not much else big on for those behind it, since the tech age/live pubs feeds etcetc people up north don't need to be at grounds anymore - the Syd/Bris fabric is polar opposites comparing to Melbon.

Yeah 24k 

I remember when I joined this forum they were head to head with the wanderers geez that's a long time ago

Exactly, the AFL media in Melbourne have convince the people from there that AFL is big in Sydney.

When I drive around the grounds I see kids/adults playing or practicing football, or Oztag (touch footy) or in summer Cricket as well.
The talk in the pubs, offices cafes, football grounds are about the NRL and State of Origin currently, some cricket talk, some O/S football teams plus Matildas & Socceroos.
Very little talk of the swans & nothing of GWS. I love my sport but could not name a player in either team since Buddy retired/left.

GWS are very successful in Melbourne - much less so in Sydney. If you follow AFL in Sydney you follow the Swans.

not sure why bringing in hate MCG, I know I mentioned dislike.

Good point re Olympics, I think many of us watch alot of it because many sports are not strong here nor viewed or even played etc....
I think re Olympics many of us get caught up with it because of its variety and you see so many many many top athletes.

know nothing of whatever the success they have.

Luv watching these in the zone top golfers ie Canadian Open.
I know some people dislike the game (much ike my feelings of gayfl) but having had the fortune of pretty ok hand eye co ordination I've played quite a few ball sports.
I took up golf late 30's or so - formally known as a weekend hacker.
I hover around 18HC whereas obviously these Pros are scratch and under.
Practice practice like any sport, these guys shoot so damn consistant and long amazes me.
You don't knoiw how hard it is to hit a static stupid little ball lol......


I never really got the idea of hating something you don't like.
