It sure does tickle my arsehole.

Classic Afro comeback :lol:

-PB

Told Funky at the start of the match that we would win. :d We will forever haunt you Buckley. ThreePeat here we come. \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

That Adelaide goal being overturned will kill the goal review system

which sport is the most bogan?

AFL or NRL?

The thing that offsets the AFL's boganess is how there isnt a Mt Panorama (Bathurst) in Melbourne where all bogans flock to

Luckily on AFL grand final day you get all the bogans flock to that Mecca :lol:

What Robin Williams thought of AFL =d>

RIP Robin Williams, you did good

what a "classy" sport :D

#BANDOFBROTHERS :d

Get fucked.

I'm absolutely gutted about this, pick four will have to do at least and I'd want Aish too but I can't see that happening.

Well at least your realistic. I think the best player you'll get from us is Leuenberger (provided we can nab Ryder) But that probably won't happen so you'll get something like pick 4 + one of Goldby, Crisp or Lester.

The potential of our midfield for next year though.
Rockliff, Beams, Rich, Redden + the likes of Aish, Hanley, Zorko and all the Mozzies up top. =p~

I like Leuenberger but I don't think we'd want him tbh, we do really need a mature ruckman whilst Witts and Grundy are still developing but I don't think he's that man, plus he's made of glass.

I'd rather an exchange of second rounders than the steak knives tbh.

So its changing its name to Cross Country Ballet dancing right?

K so the extent of my knowledge of Aussie Rules is that Lockett was a champ and Barry Hall is a decent boxer.

Can somebody please explain to me what the point/history/etc of those banners the teams run through at the beginning of a match is? I can't help but inwardly cringe when I see it.. I suppose I just don't get it?

it used to be just so fans can encourage the players, honour milestone matches etc
these days its mainly a billboard

Was it/Is it organised by fans? Kinda like a tifo then I guess.

Thanks!

yeh it is equivalent to a tifo, someone can correct me if im wrong but fans still make it but all the materials are supplied by the club/sponsors

This game is in SD. My eyes

Swans need to get their shit together.

Swans didn't turn up to play today. Their midfield got absolutely smashed. Very un-Sydney like.


Long ago at grounds, the races (the path from the changerooms to the field) would have a metal mesh cage over them to protect the players from feral fans. Someone in the late 1930s got the idea of putting crepe paper streamers in their team colours over the entrance of this metal mesh race cage for the players to run through as though they were 'bursting' onto the arena gladiator style. Over time, poles were added either side to make these "run-throughs" portable and eventually these portable run-throughs, which became known as banners, got bigger and bigger as each club's cheer squad tried to out do the opposition cheer squad. As a result the League had to bring in a maximum size limit which is what we have now.

There also use to be in the 1960s-to-early 1980s, huge banners running right along the grandstand tiers and the ground fence for finals games but once advertising boards at stadiums came in, they were banned.

couldnt care anything about the last game

except for the stripper!

Oh and this was how the AFL got Tom Jones to perform at the grand final half time show

Beams & Christensen, great trade period. :d

Beams was one of my favourite players so I'm gutted about this, initially I was sympathetic because of his fathers situation but the more it dragged on the more it looked like the cash was the main factor, skipping our B&F to get on the piss with his mates was very poor form.

Regardless of how bitter I am about him leaving, I still want to see him do well as he is a gun, IMO he'll end the season as your best player, I really do rate him more than I rate Rocky as he's a much more damaging player. Your midfield is scary good now, pity you don't have great options up front to capitalize on this though.

I'm hoping an injury free Swanny can get back near his best to help compensate for losing Beams' impact in the middle, Greenwood is an absolute bull in the contest too so he should at least free up Pendleburryand Swan to play a more damaging game. Looking forward to round one.

I had to laugh this morning when I heard Melbourne's new diet mentioned on the radio ( http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-24/dees-turn-to-fat-for-fitness ) when last night I saw six of their players at the pub having beers :lol:

If Martin could do something that'd be great thanks.

I actually feel sorry for Daisy Thomas, the cunt has no luck.

It's going to be a long year for Blues fans.

Really enjoyed watching the Demons win. The fans deserve it!

if st kilda could kick straight they would have got up over GWS ... north were just shambolic. Freo and Port has been decent so far
