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

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

[Marshal Murat]

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

Rugby is so boring...

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...

[coalition]

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

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

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 Richmond!

Brisbane Fifth on the ladder...

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

[Warluster]

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

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.

[pevergreen]

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.

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

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.

Saints vs Geelong in the Grand Final

No but I watched it enough when I was over there to maybe provide you with some related conversation.

How did Western Bulldogs not make the GF anyway? They were playing great last time I checked..

Western Bulldogs don't have a key forward, they went inside forward 50 10 more times (?) but because they don't have a tall forward, they simply cannot finish off powerhouse teams like St.Kilda off, every team needs a tall forward, not just crumbling goal kickers.

Although the crumbling goal kickers were good enough to beat the Lions and head for a Preliminery, says that midgets don't win you premierships

Also St.Kilda generally play a defensive gameplan, choking teams and then firing away to win, it's been effective for them though, lets hope they can claim their first premiership in 43 years.

[pevergreen]

Yeah theres a few of us Aussies, but only a few down Melb/Adelaide/Tassie. Most are QLD/NSW. Few in Perth.

So the general discussion is ORIGIN!

And NRL.

For the Aussies who may or may not know this happened in Croke Park on Sunday

Tadgh Kennelly wins the Sam Maguire

Looks like he will be back for the Swans yet
