2021 Non-Crows AFL Talk 2: are the VFL corrupt?

[RoweyThePainter]

I just saw this written on facebook. Anyone know if it's true?

"Level 1 seating to Port game $45. Level 1 seating to a Crows game $89 at Adelaide Oval"

That is outrageous. I would be loathe to pay $89 for a ticket to a prelim.

Maybe it's like those $500 hotel rooms where it includes a "complimentary breakfast".

Ken said last night they only want to wear the bars guernsey in Showdowns.

We have no heritage against the Port Magpies, they can go and get ****ed as far as I'm concerned. Have no want to enable those sponging campaigners for one second, let alone two matches a year

 

[FR0GGY]

Crackling comment coming back to haunt you

Highly possible, those crackling eaters are dodgy as.

I don't want to be 6 feet under and still hearing this debate going on above me.

As a Norwood man I must admit it would give me even extra satisfaction beating the flith in that much loathed design.

That'd be Deaneus!

This is Deaneus!

Ken said last night they only want to wear the bars guernsey in Showdowns. Ffs let the baby have their bottle. Shirts and skins for all I care. Stop letting their club get all this free publicity.

On another note if they really want to go to the heritage bars guernsey then wear lace ups .... but of course these are not allowed, ie the heritage guernsey argument makes zero sense.

“ Ken said last night they only want to wear the bars guernsey in Showdowns.”...

And you actually believe that do you?...

You can bet your house on it that this is total and utter bullshit..

They want to wear it just in showdowns.. then when/if they are granted that they will ask to be allowed for all home games... then it will be all games except against the pies..

Theres nothing surer..

Even some of their supporters on here have admitted as much.

 

[FR0GGY]

You just have to say you're friends with Jack Watts.

It’s at that exact time things start to go **** up.

I really don't care what they wear. It's a piece of fabric.

They are getting far more publicity, and a hell of a lot of support from other AFL fanbases, for not being able to wear it than if they could.

We can only hope Port finish 5th or 6th and play WC in an Elimination final

Your user name and profile pic crack me up!

You should as a good Norwood high lad.

Yep have said before.
It was once off
Then it was each heritage round
Then it was home showdowns
Now it’s both showdowns
Then it’ll be all home games
Then all game not involving collingwood.
They don’t understand no, just like one of their ex players.

Sit back and crack open a chardonnay. Alberton tears are flowing. The May Premiers have folded.

Hahah. "Cultural Attache"

 

[Deaneus!]

I have seen many Eastwood movies... some I like more than others. Haven't seen this one, but heard lots of good things. I picked Deaneus because he can be a grumpy old bastard when some of you cross the line and make his job harder!

I just turned 45 last week!

I watched ALL of his older movies... and disliked Unforgiven ENORMOUSLY.

This is Deaneus!

I don’t own a robe like that

Agreed. Their heritage against us is the SBS jumper.

They want to shit all over us for not being a real club, and having no heritage, but at the same time apparently games against us are special to them which earns them the right to wear special heritage clothes that have no relevance to us, our rivalry, or their AFL existence? GAGF.

Sorry should have said players.
Dixon can’t say no to a bad tattoo
Hartlett can’t say no to a drum
Then I guess there’s SPP

Milk and honey

Same sort of pricing principle applies to the 11 game reserved seat memberships for each club. Ours are considerably more expensive for the exact same seat.

It might help their patented "March to Mediocrity" campaign they are currently running if they charged their members the same amount as the AFC does for the exact same seats.

Can’t be surprising, textbook supply and demand.

shared a bowl with a mate at the Wellington on Sunday. Washed down with a little creatures pale ale fresh from the tap. You kids these days, barely know you’re alive.

 

[1970crow]

That said, after yesterday’s shocking experience, it won’t be happening again. At least the crackling part.

exactly. As a neutral supporter it’s a very weird thing to give a rat’s tossbag about.

I think a lot of people like that they are "standing up to" Collingwood, as they see it. The same type of people who find Dane Swan tweets hilarious.

Pleased to see Tarryn Thomas get off a ludicrous MRP charge.

only when exercising my friend, been happening for ever. I think it’s because my system is so advanced that it denies blood to all unnecessary regions. Total waste of blood flow maintaining 9 inches on the slack. Best deployed to pick up oxygen from the lungs.
