[Axver]

One of my Sydneysider cousins just joined "The hardest part of playing AFL is telling your parents your(sic) gay" on Facebook. I guess I won't invite her to my Grand Final party.

Particularly when NRL is the sport with "the hopoate"

Shall one be made?

How are any of us going to find it if you won't tell anyone who you are

I didn't say I was going to make it. I'm lazy like that.

 

[cobl04]

My second favourite game of the year. Let's do this shit. Duck to kick 20. Hutchy hopefully to get killed.

 

[cobl04]

AAAAAAAAND SAV GOES BAAAAAANG FROM 75!!!!!!!

Clf

 

[cobl04]

Hutchy just kicked goal of the year ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[cobl04]

Straunie: "they sent most of the boys to Arizona, they sent me to Mt Dandenong"

2 goals!!

 

[cobl04]

This is actually a decent quality game I don't think there's been a single stoppage. Micky Martyn absolutely cleaned Carey. Good to see the torp again too it's a dead art

 

[Vlad n U 2]

AAAAAAAAND SAV GOES BAAAAAANG FROM 75!!!!!!!

Clf

Sav?

 

[Axver]

Hahaha what a shit game. Hilarious to watch, but terrible.

And could it have been more obviously rigged?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Who cares if it is? It's just a fun thing.

 

[cobl04]

Sav?

Rocca!

Hahaha what a shit game. Hilarious to watch, but terrible.

And could it have been more obviously rigged?

I don't know about it being a "shit game". Was clearly orchestrated though. Otherwise All Stars would have won by about 70.

Danny, that was Anthony!

Hahaha what a shit game. Hilarious to watch, but terrible.

You are kidding right? Its not supposed to be the north American version of an "all star game" sounds like you were expecting state of origin.

 

[Axver]

I wasn't expecting anything! We just turned it on and rolled around laughing at the dodginess/cheesiness of it all.

 

[cobl04]

Danny, that was Anthony!

Yeah I just realised... no idea why I thought it was Sav.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I enjoyed the game so much that I wouldn't mind if more games were rigged, given the pure entertainment value of the whole thing. Every cut to Sam in the coat was hilarious, especially when he was suddenly holding a pipe after Fitzy kicked the after-siren goal.

YouTube - ‪Craig 'Hutchy' Hutchison EJ Whitten Legends game legendary goal‬‏

this was better though. wish players would still use the torp

YouTube - ‪Anthony Rocca super goal‬‏

 

[bono_man2002]

Roccca! Brought back the good olde days.

 

[cobl04]

Origin!

 

[cobl04]

Sick try by Inglis.

 

[cobl04]

Not sure if there's anyone in the AFL I love as much as Billy.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Nobody cares.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Nobody cares.

Well, he obviously cares enough to post about it. There's no AFL tonight, why not talk about the rugby?

But anyway...

West Coast v Geelong - but you know what? We might win. /hubris.
Hawks v Brisbane
Gold Coast v Sydney
Essendon v Richmond
Collingwood v North
Port v Saints
Dogs v Carlton

Three byes this week, lame.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Because it's boring.

/childish response

 

[intedomine]

Because it's boring.

Will be great when it's finished

 

[cobl04]

Lot better than fucking soccer inte!

Awesome win by QLD, felt sorry for Thurston, acl they said.

Fucking love origin.

 

[Axver]

Origin!

I only care if it's footy, or potentially union. To be serious for a minute though, the AFL and NRL keep on crapping on about this apparent code war (honestly who gives a shit except people who think everybody else should like what they like?), and in this case, the NRL has run rings around the AFL. Take notes, Demetriou/somebody-smarter-than-him-who-should-take-over.

Picks for the coming week:

West Coast vs Geelong (go Eagles!)
Hawthorn vs Brissie
Gold Coast vs Sydney
Essendon vs Richmond
Collingwood vs North Nobody
Port vs Saints
Bulldogs vs Carlton

PS Co-sign Danny's "better than soccer" Origin sentiment, if nothing else.

 

[cobl04]
