AFL. Why did it have to happen!!!!! Bad as Soccer

[gazaly]

......I though you SA mob just followed the footy cause you are all just trying to follow the Victorians. Sort of a "dont really understand it but if the Vics do it it must be good" thing.

Will this stir up the hornets nest??

You bet ya boots it will Mexican man. When you blokes (shella's?) learn to play the game, come and let us know!

......I didn't reliase that Crows supporters would lower their noses long enough to be on this bulletin board....

I'm guessing that your avatar is a picture of your girlfriend?

You did allright.

At least she's not wrapped in Glad Wrap.

I learnt long ago that "Family, Footy, Religion and Politics" comments were usually 100% certain to start a blue.

HMMM. In some circles footy is a religion. Keep it nice boys and girls or the axe will fall.

I agree but West Coast won't be playing till next weekend.

Actually I can say that before there was a VFL there were people playing Aussie Rules here in SA. Geoffrey Blainey reports that SA Parliament had a game going in their lunch break before there was a VFL.

So shouldn't get carried away about who invented and who copied it.

Got plenty to do in the shed this weekend but it will be allright watching the Crows give Port their cumupance Sat night.

Think it will be miraculous for either the Crows or the Power to win the flag but. Have to go to Perth win there which is doable but then go to Melbourne the week after very likely to play St Kilda who haven't travelled at all. Mind you those party boys are likely to find a way to choke up when it matters.

Good weekend to check out those great SA wineries, not much else going on in SA???

Perhaps a lot of claret spilt at Moron Park and hopefully a busy week at the tribunial with lots of 2 week suspensions??????

At least is one way of getting a decent crowd to the game. The North Port game last week was a laugh, hardly anyone showed up, as bad as some of the attendences in last years finals in Adelaide.

Thank God the cricket is on.......

(Not much interest this year but still a proud Pies supporter, so go the SA Magpies this weekend!!!)

Only a few bites. Shame. I was hoping for the "ridiculous taunts" of the Aussie fan 'all in fun' variety.

I'm a bit of an "outsider looking in" in terms of AFL, Soccer, Rugby League and the whole states thing. Born in SA, raised in NSW, QLD, lived in the NT and now Vic. Played Soccer, League, lots of AFL, Basketball. And worst of all - support Collingwood.
Supporting Collingwood - now that why I want to attack everyone else. So I hope all the Port and Adelaide fans have a great time watching the game this weekend - although only 50% of you will in the end!

Seriously, Collingwoods performace the last two years has made me unable to watch a Pies game this year.
The worst group of fans I have ever come across were not of the drunken idiot League, AFL or Soccer persuasion. They were the mums of the under 12's basketball team I coached.
Scary savages.

As for raving regionalism - I once got king hit by a local bloke up in Tully, Far North QLD, because I wouldn't react to the taunts of "You're drinking VB, you're a p**%ter" taunts. Funny thing was, he was drinking VB as well! Seems I made the mistake of not being born and raised in his town. Very interesting bloke... NOT

OH YEAH BABY
All those warfies will be crying into the breakfast beer!

LOOKOUT WESTCOAST
YOUR NEXT

[gazaly]

It appears all the POORt supporters have lost their voices!

Come on guys and girls. What's happened to all the witty repartee? (LOL)

Hey Grunt, any last words?

[Grunt]

See you next Saturday! Pity it's your last game for the year.

[Harry72]

So who won?

[Ian007]

So who won?

You did Flash, you got to make sawdust

[Ian007]

i think they should be penalised 10 goals before the start of the game

and they would have still lost

[bennylaird]

two games, one a finger biter but what happened to the other????
Good thing the cricket was on, even though thats taken a turn for the worst.

Trouble is it means either West Coast or Adelaide in the Grand Final, pity. Carn the Vics.......

[shaunburgess]

We are still crying into our Breakfast beer!!!! Watched the game, simply outclassed by a better team (That really hurt to say that). I must still be in shock, i can't think of anything else to abuse you about! God i hope West Coast win next week.
