I know I am not the only one hear that is a lover of all things sports.

Would anyone like to share their predictions for this weekends prelim finals?

Here are my tips to start it off...

Sydney vs North - Sydney by 35 points
Hawthorn vs Port - Hawthorn by 23 points

I think Port will be tougher than people expect but Hawks to win out the day.

As a swans fan it pains me to say that I think Hawks have what it takes to win the GF

It is an interesting year. Any of the teams could win the premiership on their day.

Port v North final. Calling it

There's already an AFL thread.

Travelled to adelaide for the first final, disappointing, hopefully north and port can both win this week, hawthorn and sydney are such scumbag teams.

Because this is the first time there's ever been two thread on a topic here?

There is a strayaball thread ffs.

But this one is started by me so it makes it special

What is this 'AFL' you speak of??

:lol:

Any AFL fans on here (still)watch The Footy Show? I've tuned in occasionally this year & IMO it's a pale-as-fuck shadow of what it once was..

Yeah I watch most weeks as my housemates always watch it, I don't mind it tbh but I definitely agree in saying it's gone down hill big time. Sam's well and truly lost it although he's been great away from the desk in street talk and in the Big Brother spin offs they've been running lately, Bill is still great value though.

Love bill . He is hilarious and doesn't try hard like Sammy does . I think Eddie leaving has kind of messed Sam up as Eddie was his foil

WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU NEGATIVE PIECE OF SHIT!

No one spoke to you socawho and no one abused you , yet you abuse Mt.

For one thing, Trevor Marmalade leaving really ripped out a chunk of the show's soul, much more so than Eddie leaving (which was overdue even then IMO). They fucked up in getting Brayshaw (a non-entity with the personality of a wet lettuce) and as for Garry Lyon...let's just say Zdrila's role on Thursday FC brought him to mind. Sammy, God love the old cunt, should be put out to pasture - he's had his time. And this is coming from someone who grew up watching him/worshipping the ground he walked on - what can I say, the guy was one of my comic heroes thru my high-school years:lol: :cool:

It's a shame because the format itself is timeless and brimming with potential even now, but IMO it's being squandered by people(the producers/writers moreso than the cast, dare I say) just going thru the motions...:(

HAWKERS

Just because you make shit threads, doesn't mean you need to defend others who do the same.

This bloke is in my Top 10 for 442 posters.

How is this a shit thread?
From what you are saying, we should then just have one rumour thread to cover anything rumour related, one Australian football thread to cover all Australian football topics etc....maybe the mods could just combine all forum pages into one and have about 5 threads to cover everything.....

Colin there is an afl thread ffs . Find it and post In tbere

As long as your not a mod you can't stop me from making threads so chew on that and choke on my threads you fucker.

Any good?

arena football league is good . just weird watching a gridiron game indoors

Play for 5 seconds, pause for 5 minutes, it's just 4 hours of that.

Rugby does that to me :lol: then there's the cfl and then lfl. Don't get me started on the failed xfl experiment

Got back from the Port Hawthorn game after spending 20 plus hours on a bus from Adelaide to Melbourne return with hardly a wink of sleep.

first time at the MCG for a finals game.

Loved every minute of it. Despite getting so close proud of Port Adelaide and my fellow Port fans.

Enjoyed the pregame at Federation square and march to the G.

And kudos to Catman West (Geelong Fan) for contacting Mark Evans the operations manageer in lifting the restrictions on big flags for cheersquads at the end.

I know most of you football fans laugh at AFL atmosphere but there are a growing number of fans who are at least trying to change that with clubs developing there own pro-active supporters group and start chants other then "team name" clap clap clap and Let's go "team name" let's go clap clap

hopefully 2015 will be the year of the fan and more clubs can start bringing back the big flags again.

Port going to be dangerous for many seasons to come. Good luck to them.

Now for the Swans to beat Hawks again!

Their turn around is amazing considering where they were 3-4 years a go, it makes teams like Melbourne and Carlton look even more pathetic considering the top draft picks the two clubs have wasted in their years of mediocrity.
