[Papa G]

I'm with Papa G aside from Carlton providing a laugh the AFL is shitful to watch now, I enjoyed the shield final more than any of the games I vaguely tuned in and out of since our thursday night shitfest.

I'd rather watch tik tok these days.

Dani Laidley diagnosed with ‘very rare’ brain tumour

Suddenly in the dark, the AFL great started to think ‘well what do I need to do wind everything up’.

She could always Skype the specialist, just kidding.

In Vossy's defense, it was like that when he got there

I love how nobody ever talks about how bad Carlton were before Vossy arrived (2014-2021 is a great sample size) or that he got them to a Prelim two seasons ago.

I'm sure we can trust Jeff Kennett not to be economical with the truth...

I just cannot stand this muppet

Peanut Kennett is just trying to make things political before the upcoming election.

A little sad considering the Tassie tax payers paid & funded his AFL club for the last 20 years or so.

Unfortunately for Kenneth’s Hawks the Feds have more priorities in sports funding than AFL stadiums come May the 3rd, It’s called the 2032 Olympics.

Bottom line Tassie can’t afford it, AFL should be coughing up the ready’s.

Considering the cost of a flight and accommodation in Tas.
More Aussies would likely travel to Nth Qld or Bali in the peak of winter than freeze their gonads off in a soulless stadium.

It’s an enormous amount of taxpayer money on the line

 

[240volt]

It’s an enormous amount of taxpayer money on the line

Especially for a place like Tasmania, if it was WA then there’s no worry’s.
Gina Noheart could pay that out of the small change in her purse.

Oh, right

Pretty obvious to me how this played out...

Feels like the Crows think think they will make this year's AFL grand final and career politician and car salesman John Olsen got his buddies at the SANFL to push for the curtain raiser. Another call to the Adelaide Hills McLachlan clan asking them to to whisper in Dil's ear at AFL house and it's a done deal.

This is how the Adelaide old boy's club works.

Now all that remains is for the the SANFL umpires to come to the party and gift the crows SANFL team a SANFL Grand Final berth. But that can't happen, right?

Like the Proctologist said to me recently, you need to "check the date".

It’s the most asinine time of the year.

It's not 1 April where I am right now but those pesky SANFL guys got me again dammit.

(Will delete the post to save my embarrassment and their gotchya giggles)

 

[simba_]

that's an incredible April Fool's because it's realistic for the SANFL had me for a good 20 seconds

Yep. The best jokes always come from some version of the truth.

 

[chiwigi]

It’s actually a fun idea. Rotate all the Grand Finals every year, have a carnival of grannies in a different capital city every year. Obviously culminating in the AFL one.

Like Gather Round for winners.
