One thing you hate about your team

What are you talking about?

You seriously don’t notice this? Vics say ‘al’ instead of ‘el.’ A F AL is how it gets pronounced down south of here

Just listen to Hodge and it becomes pretty apparent. BT started it recently too.

Talent to flag ratio over my long lifetime.

Can I change it to Victorians in general?

Can you lot prounce "EL" as "EL" instead of "AL" when it occurs in the English language?

As in MELbourne....not MALbourne
ELliot... not ALliot

We know Victorians operate differently to us in God's Country that is NSW, and elsewhere, but for the sake of the rest of Australia, do us all a favour.

Thanks.

I’m a Victorian but I have noticed this strange pronunciation with some people. I don’t pronounce things like that and none of my family or friends do either. Very strange that there’s is a sub-group that do this. My wife and I always laugh when someone on the news is talking about the Elfred hospital. Eddie McGuire could be the biggest culprit.

As for NSW, having lived there for a dozen years, I did pick up some of the lingo. There is such a strong Aussie twang that doesn’t occur as much down south…e.g. they play some strange game called Rugba Lorg

I’ve never pronounced it like that and to be honest, I don’t know anyone who does.

Are they still doing that stupid cat snarl over the PA when we kick a goal at GMHBA?

Other than that... Sam Newman?

Not playing at home on the gold coast for over a month in middle of the season

 

[RUNVS]

Not sure this is a team thing or more of a coach/recruiting staff thing but despite what the media may think Sydney have been bad at clearances for a long time, well over a decade in fact. Other than one year I think we have finished in the bottom 6 in clearances compared to our opponents every year since Longmire took over in 2011 and despite this nothing is ever done about it. Longmire and the recruiting staff never address it, never even seem to see it as a problem and it always bites on our arse in the important games as our midfield gets dominated in the centre and our defence just can't cope with how easily the ball is coming in.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Nothing. Stupid thread.

Have another look.

lol, they dont/didn't, do they? Thats horrendous.
And we should drop all the music and flashing of stadium lights after every goal for a home team at Marvel.
WTF is up with that garbage?

I remember Gold Coast was the most noticeable to do the 'sounds after a goal' with that little fanfare from their club song. I reckon Brisbane did/do something similar to what Geelong had.

Thankfully that has stopped and i dont recall music after goals either anymore

 

[Chinacats]

Shorter pre season; heavy training load excuses for losses….

Who do these Pissants think they are? That’s the crap you would expect from GWS players

Classic swans.

 

[99cents]

If I could change one thing about the entire game it would be that, GWS playing 11 games in Western Sydney. And make Canberra the 20th team.

It's just nuts.

Anyway what do I hate about my team? Nothing... now that Eddie and Bucks are gone. We're back!!

But 2 flags in 6 decades?

 

[Shooter#17]

They took the easy money in Canberra, and in other instances, instead of doing the hard yards in Western Sydney as was the intent.

They'll be relocated to Canberra soon enough, western Sydney is a wasteland for AFL

 

[GeTrain]

every few years i start to have hope, then it gets crushed

 

[Corn Cobbers]

But 2 flags in 6 decades?

I'm guessing our win ratio over that period is still higher than anyone else's, we're a very successful club who you guys should try to emulate. And a good starting point IMO is to plant in Western Sydney, 11 games a year.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Results. Many years of results, to now being a bigger laughing stock than Carlton. Something I didn't think any team could do.

 

[My_Username]

Our finals record.

I know they say not to judge a book by its cover, but let's be honest, we all take one look at Chad Warner and immediately think "douche".

Not at all. Far from the most douche Warner in Australian sport.

Well, I can't argue with that. There are definitely levels of douche-ness though. Chad Warner might very well be an upstanding young bloke (though the picture obviously doesn't support this portrayal), but yea idk he just gives off douche vibes. Although does the fact that I am this presumptuous and judgmental make me a douche too? D'oh!!
