State of Origin Series XIX Round 3 - Allies vs Western Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground

[Tonga Bob]

You'll be happy to hear they are suffering today- it's General Election Day. And, as seems to be the case currently in a lot of 'Western Democracies', what a bunch of nothingburgers they have leading their parties.

Best thing about the British election is the weird candidates. I believe Lord Buckethead and Count Binface are running again this time around.

Joke candidates' tradition to stand against PM in general election

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is up against Count Binface and a YouTube prankster in his constituency.

[note that they got an expert on joke candidates to provide some historical context in the article. His name is Andy Mycock. Champagne comedy!]

 

[Tonga Bob]

Happy Friday, folks! Enjoy your day!

I'm certainly going to.

And good morning, Tarks.

Steve is shining.

 

[Strigoi]

They look more like they’re ready to fight it out Monty Python style.

 

[Freofalcon]

Poor Freofalcon you seem to be having a bit of trouble with your horse!

At least he knows where Macca’s is after I’ve had a couple.

 

[MayTheNorthBeWithU]

Gee, hasn't Stockton been developed since November last year......

Finally, a bridge from Stockton to Newy CBD

Finally, a bridge from Stockton to Newy CBD

Hopefully it regenerates the CBD. It was looking old, sad and tired the last time I was there.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

They really don’t
Sydney’s isn’t even the best song in their state let alone the competition

Alright, the indisputable hierarchy of club songs:

Elite:
Sydney
Richmond
GWS

Great:
Brisbane
Collingwood
Geelong
Hawthorn
Melbourne

Good:
Western Bulldogs
Gold Coast
North Melbourne

Average:
Adelaide

Ridiculously overrated and bordering on bad:
Carlton

Bad
Essendon
Port Adelaide
St Kilda

Convinced the entire state must be deaf:
West Coast
Fremantle

Abominable:
Melbourne Hawks merger proposition

How the **** did you make it even worse:
West Coast - Birds of Tokyo edition

 

[grumbleguts]

Guess im moving to Tassie

… BUT which one is the best?

 

[moginie]

To celebrate the defeat of the WAilians I'll be quaffing schooners of Tooheys Old today like I did when I lived over east.

Had a mate who used to order half and half Tooheys Old & Tooheys New.

"Tooheys Now"

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

I recognize the town name!

Of course, my sum total of WA knowledge derives from watching Freo play, and this documentary:

Hotel Coolgardie (2016) ⭐ 6.8 | Documentary

Oh mate, that doco is some grim shit.

 

[MayTheNorthBeWithU]

[Falconista]

… BUT which one is the best?

Richmond's has the best line- 'YELLOW AND BLACK'.

GWS' song is very good. Not a great one for supporters/players to sing but great for humming and memeing to.

Gold Coast's song is very underrated (possibly because they've been out of sight and not hugely successful in their history so far).

However, objectively Collingwood's is the best. Memorable, simple, good song and works well being sung by a group of knackered players after a match.

 

[ShaunDuggan]

Looking forward to Tassies club song being done by Doja Cat.

Pnau turned them down?

 

[TY24]

Ridiculously overrated and bordering on bad:
Carlton

The audio track itself is woeful but when they sing it in the rooms it's elite

 

[TY24]

Looking forward to Tassies club song being done by Doja Cat.

She's got more teeth than the entire Tassie population. Impressive really, considering they've all got 2 sets as well.

Obviously as an old school Port supporter I highly regard the Sydney one. Current Port is the worse of any and I refuse to engage in it

 

[I Dont Care]

Oh, and c'mon the Allies!
