What you need is a rugby league tread not some bloody pansy afl tread :beam:

Some real footy! That'd get the aussies fired up. Bring Back the Biff! :2thumbsup:

There is only 1 thing I appreciate about AFL, and that is the cool move the refs do when a point is scored.

Otherwise the game is dangerous and a threat to social welfare. Like Rugby League, but worse.

True blue footy fans call it aerial pingpong :juggle2:

Rugby is so boring...:furious3:

I do agree that the AFL is becoming a bit "Precious", but still a real man sport, unlike soccer and NFL (Body armour)

HeHe so true a real takes it like a man and doesn't need to hide behind anything or whinge about it afterwards like a little girl, i love how in NRL you get the players running around dripping blood but refusing to stop the game. You would never see that in soccer. Suck it up! Get on with it!

I think Brisbane Lions will smash the Swans today...:2thumbsup:

Probably, but I'm from NSW so i can't go for a bloody queenslander, go the swans!

You cant use the queenslander call in AFL, and its not state of origin. :no:

Its a tough sport though.

Brisbane 15.10= 100
Sydney 8.13= 61

Voss is having a lucky streak. It won't last.

I don't really have a AFL side anymore...

It got too time consuming to follow sport. :laugh4:

Another Swans fan here...

Only watched the first two quarters in part, and just couldn't be bothered because I'm so tired...

Probably best that I didn't see the end.

Voss was born for the job.

We'll make the top 8 but the premiership?

He won 3 flags in a row, maybe he won't "Choke".

We didn't beat your mob since round 1 2004, this victory means alot.

Essendon supporter here from the heartland of AFL Melbourne where we play manly sports and not the bum sniffing rugby shit that New South Welshmen play. :)

I feel that any criticism of AFL is made by those who have no appreciation for the sport.

I come from a sporting family, mainly rugby, mine being hockey (say what you will)
Never the less, I love AFL simply because it's hilarious, The scoring is screwed up (I do understand it), the game itself is a mix between basketball, rugby, gaelic football and anything else involving picking a ball up and running with it. But the best bit is the tackling where ANYTHING GOES! only the australians could invent a sport that brilliant. Furthermore, the fitness of the players in the AFL is amzing, consider how big the pitches are, and they run atround for what? 20 minutes at a time, in normal heat of Australia (granted, cold some days) on a pitch 200 metres is it? i dont want to wiki it. They are always either running, or still managing to kick the ball from so far outside the 50 metre mark.

I personally tried to have a touch game of it set up at school, the stupid PE teachers wouldn't listen to me. Would have been hilarious.

And to those who support rugby league or dont understand anything about the difference (why would you be reading this?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JWL...eature=related

Unfortunately that is no longer really true given that rules regarding tackling in the back have become more strict in recent years.

The contact with the umpires is pretty soft, one touch and your gone even if you were "Pushed" into the umpire.

Bloody hell, assuming if they were gods!

Wow, we're pretty crap, losing to Collingwood at the Gabba and to Geelong by 93 points. :embarassed:

We beat Essendon by 43 points, way to spoil Fletcher's 300. :laugh4:

Time for Richmond, attending that game so it will be awesome, although they have had the wood over us lately.

No Richardson for Richmond! Certain win coming up.

3 wins 3 losses, this could be a season defining match for us.

Brisbane win Flogs!

Suck :daisy: Richmond!

Brisbane Fifth on the ladder...

Off topic,but how did this state of Origin go?

The State of Origin isn't on for a few more weeks (Can't remember the exact date) from where the first mtahc is played, then the second and then the third. Of course, the outcome is already decided. There's no way NSW can stand up against such a monster QLD team :grin3:

As for the Lions/Richmond game; quite impressive. Some of those goals scored were brilliant (Still can't get over the massive kicks Brownie does!), though it would've been nice if the 100 mark had've been cracked just to rub it in Richmond's face a bit more.

Seems like a good Lions season yet their still not the side they were in '03; but give them a few years and they'll be amazing, as some of the good players are getting better.

Yeah, those 4(?) years were great for AFL up here, but I just can't accept Voss as a coach.

Beefy, you should know State of Origin hasnt happened yet, otherwise our MSN would be flooded with news of it from everyone from school, especially you, with all those borders...

SoO is upset heaven though. Great moments come out of it though, my favourite two tries would have to be Alfie and Tallis kicking it to himself. I get annoyed that the games are never released on DVD or anything, would be a great thing to have.

Richmond had the wood over Brisbane for quite some time, if I remember, 2004 was the last win we had against this rabble.

4-3, we have our season set, although when Leuenberger and Daizell comes back, Harding and Stiller will be dropped, We will have fielded a very strong team.

What's wrong with him? He's doing a good job at the moment, liking his Half time outbursts too.
