I missed it who won?


Only joking, even 2816kms away, it is on the TV, radio, & in the news papers but I didn't watch it, I was in the shed turning a new handle for the Ci1 that I broke.

AFL used to be less about passing and more about kicking and great arial moments, it's now become a fall-over-the-ball desperately fiasco. It was good... back in the 80's.

My time was much better spent in the shed.

I went for a walk.

i didnt even know it was on...not that i would have watched it anyway. although it is better than NRL.

Skew and Archer, at what point has the game changed apart from pure skill and the inevitable professionalism?

Should we go back to 1927-1930 when John Wren paid 10 times the amount for the better players on the Collingwood list that resulted in them buying four flags? Or players fixing their own dislocated bones, playing when so badly injured because they needed the few quid for their families survival. Not to mention the brutal thuggery that was rife in 95% of games

Footy has never been better, and the players never better looked after. It annoys me when people go on about how bad the game is compared to the “good old days” AFL is at its peak. Look at the superstars - Cotchin, Buddy, Judd, the list goes on, its brilliant.

The skills and games are superb, not to mention a business that employs over 120, 17-18 years olds on a minimum 40k base every year, year in year out. No others do that.

Bagging footy and the AFL is pathetic.

Totally your opinion Lignum. I really don't give a rats ring if you think i'm pathetic. Your 'inevitable professionalism' is nothing more than commercialism. It used to be about the game and the love of it. Now it's more about the money and chasing it. Also MY opinion only. Get over yourself.

All football should be in Canberra
Well out of the way from most of us.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

I've been biting my tongue on this one. But...

1. I said that I like watching country league. How does that count as bagging football?

2. I said that that I don't enjoy watching AFL and haven't since it was VFL. I gave some reasons why, although not in depth as my post wasn't about "AFL is crap" but about "the Grand Final isn't anything special to me." If that's bagging the AFL then someone rewrote the definition of bagging since I last looked. (Apparently it now means disagreeing with a supporter's opinion.)

3. After a careful re-read of all posts in this thread, I reckon that anyone who reads any of 'em as an attack on the AFL either didn't read 'em properly and has an axe to grind, or is being deliberately provocative in the hopes of an argument. Now who's pathetic?

And a quick punt to Rudd... oh NO! Rudd fumbles the ball!
