I write for a living. Writers don't rewrite when they don't have to. This is especially so in casual and social conversation. The sentiment was sincere even if I did reuse the text. You may note, only the Bulldogs and Saints receive those sentiments. If you prefer to reject my appreciation...

From the other side of the planet I want to say, I have watched the St. Kilda Saints play my Geelong Cats three time this year and I have learned to both respect and fear the skill the Saints. I view most of Geelong's opponents with distain (are you reading this Hawthorn?). Although I will...

From the other side of the planet I want to say, I have watched the Western Bulldogs play my Geelong Cats three time this year and I have learned to both respect and fear the skill the Bulldogs. I view most of Geelong's opponents with distain (are you reading this Hawthorn?) but I rooted for...

There is a large community of Rugby Union players in southeastern Michigan. There is no professional league or varsity interscholastic/intercollegiate leagues but most of the universities have club (recreational) teams that have a governing body and play in leagues. http://www.mirfu.org/ The...

:eek: Don't tell anyone in Tennessee that they are the Motown State because Motown isn't there. Motown is Detroit, but that doesn't make Michigan the Motown State either. Nashville is usually known as Music City but only to those who think country music is actually music.;)

Re: Where does NFL sit? I find it interesting that so many in this thread find the AFL boring. I go through considerable effort and some expense to watch AFL games from the USA because I find it much more interesting than the NFL. The NFL game is way too slow to hold my interest for very...

Detroit Tigers, always and forever! My longest and most enduring sports loyalty.

What about: The United Football Club, "the Aussies/Koalas/whatever". It casts an inclusive net over the local population in the nearly 300 mile area from Sydney to Canberra and should be marketable (if more than a little generic). I think the Pacific Coast Football Club (the Seawolves?) would...

The AFL already has Eagles and Lions and has had Bears, all NFL nicknames. Go for it. Power is a terrible nickname but Dockers is very good. It reminds me of Packers and summons images of the hardworking, blue collar workers who labor all week and just want to relax with some footy/gridiron...

Re: New Uniform Changes For 2009/2010 A nice blending of tradition and modernization. The Honolulu Blue has been around since the Lions' founding in the 1930s. I know a lot of local fanboys want to abandon it for a Dallas Cowboys look. I'm glad the Lions have maintained their connection to...
