Not once have i ever been jelous of crows supporters. I pity them maybe even feel sorry for them that they are are so deluded to even think that their club is any better than ours. You have more supporters? Well that simply because you were in the league first and have been here longer. When you...
Re: AFL vs World Cup
No it should not be accepted in the name of multi culturalism but soccer was not the reason for the riots. It was decades of unrest between the Serbs and Croatians. So again you make an uninformed statement. And i appreciate that you believe my knowledge of international...
Re: AFL vs World Cup
I see, the serbians and the croatians in a riot?..... who would have thought, these riots were more than soccer riots Serbians and Croations have been at each others throats for ages. Does the Croatian War of Independence 1991-1995 mean anything to you. I would suggest...
Re: AFL vs World Cup
You fool it merely an example of how things escalate when things are left to their own devices. Would you leave a spot fire in a paddock in the hope it will burn out hell no. And these soccer riots despite the odd one in europe occur in south america and other parts of...
Re: AFL vs World Cup
Im not endorsing the violence but that violence is a result of the tension and passion evoked from the game. A game that can push someone to violence obviosly means something to somebody. This is the attidtude that will cost the AFL 'All will be well' yeah lets just lay...
Re: AFL vs World Cup
You are right, the A league doesnt compare to the AFL at the moment but look where Soccer was 5 years ago and look where it is now. Anything that makes such large gains in such a short time potentially is a force to be reckoned with. Whether Soccer is a flash in the pan or...
Re: AFL vs World Cup
I understand that but if Australia make ith through to the second round it will be huge. The thing is World bup qualification takes 4 years it starts soon after the world cup, if Australia do solidly in this years final then their profile will lift, they will play more...
AFL vs World Cup
After last night and seeing the euphoria that has swept the nation after Australia won 3-1 i cant help but feel slightly concerned about which sport has the ability to captivate people dancing in the streets, flares going off are not scenes ever associated with AFL and i think...
The bulldogs in a walk over, the crows now without perrie and burton(he will get 2 minimum) without a key forward to speak of will struggle to kick a mildly competive score. Bulldogs will remain undefeated
I got off to a shakey start but i enjoyed it more as it went on. Being an SA lad i grew up listening to Brayshaw on the radio and he is all quality just abit nervous last night but when he is on he is on. I see alot of room for growth and improvment. I think it will be different to last year but...
You are all blowing his comments out of proportion. All he said was that he had coached alot aboriginal players and he personally found them to be lazy, however if he said that he found them all highly motivated would that be racism. Of course not but he has still stereotyped a group of people...
To say that any one city has a bigger sporting culture than any other is a tough call. I would say Sydney ranks behind most other capital cities. Sydney is the biggest band wagon jumper in the country with a doubt. Im still surprised you can get tickets for the Swans band wagon. Melbourne as...
Re: The tips we got taught as juniors don't exist anymore...
Since when does what you wear make you a footballer. Personally im a guernsey out socks down sort of player. Ill run out socks up guernsey in but as soon as we start it all comes out. Why be uncomfortable with your guernsey in and...
Something i have learnt over the pre season is how much the game has changed in the last 10 years. I watch a fair few matches on fox footy from the mid nineties and i found myself enjoying those matches much more than the contests we see today. Sure they werent as fast but they were hard at the...
Geez give us a break. What did you expect that we would be on top of the world forever. We won a premiership the side is aging of course we are going to decline. All this thread is a crows supporter trying to big note himself by stating the obvious. And lay of Choco he built up the squad that...
This is a stupid post and ghaxor is a stupid poster, if there were players that were from an ethinic background that were good enough then they would get a game, to suggest that the AFL look over seas for talent for the sake of cultural diversity it crazy. It would be a complete waste of funds...
While i do agree with what you are saying that the grounds with all the history and all that sure that great but i hope you were only mucking around because if someone can get that fired up over footy ovals then they need to have a good hard look at their priorities in life. Lighten up mate.
I have no doubt that he lives for his club. Unfortunately i cant seem to forget the image of screaming at his midfield then turning his back on them and sulking in the goal square only to then miss a goal from 10 meters out then proceeding to vent his frustrations on the midfield again. He is a...
Yeah, prime example being fitzroy merging with brisbane, but as the lions i dont think they ever established a losing culture, they had some failures but when it was their time they stood up. But if these players enter a winning atmosphere then they will feel apart of it.
Your right, but i still think it is all the player almost a snowball effect. One year a team loses the GF, they make another 6 years later half the list is there half the list is new yet they fail again because half the list still suffers from the previous GF loss. 10 years later they are in...
Lloyd also has a positive uplifting effect on his team mate hence the captaincy a great player isnt all goals and marks, they are team players who no matter what will give their best and seek to inspire their team mates through their example. Richo throws the towel in, screams at his team mates...
I think the chocker tag will only remain with a club as long as the squad remains the same. A club isnt destined to choke, such karma does not attach itself to a name. Choking is a psychological problem where a group of players are afraid to win, afraid to lay it on the line. Notice the teams we...
