Another 2011 AFL thread - still pretending GWS is all just a bad dream

[coolian2]

Watching that seriously made me happy. A simply great moment and it really did seem to feel like a 'eureka!' moment. Hope he and Folau succeed.

they'll both be abject failures, but holy shit did kunty get some air on that kick.

although if the nrl were to poach an afl kid and he didn't score a try for a half a season the melbourne media would cream itself.

Just trying to take notice of how I pronounce Geelong, for the record. It is actually close to "Gee-long", but with absolutely no pause between the syllables. Like, in between Ji and Jee. This is starting to not make sense. I hope you understand.

Also nice one Port.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Folau has potential to be a good forward, from what I've heard. Still not convinced on Hunt.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Except no AFL kid would ever want to play NRL.

From what I've heard of late, Folau's been given much time up forward and he has been kicking goals. I reckon there's a possibility that he'd make a good forward. Too far away to make such predictions though.

Just been reading up on GWS and the Sydney Showground redevelopment, which I hadn't heard much of previously.

Lastly, how good is Metricon Stadium? Very attractive stadium that.

Hunt would also be more suited as a forward as well. Improving little by little every game now.

Totally dreaming for a moment here, but how nice would it be to see NRL converts spark a new FF-is-King era?

 

[The Sad Punk]

This may not be surprising, but it's still terribly worrying:

the nrl salary cap is due to double on the next tv deal. afl kids will be useless in the nrl, so poaching them would be a waste of time*, but for cash i wouldn't write it off.

lol. if the nrl cap goes up it's like the wwf.

i just hope it doesn't end up like rugby union in the early 2000s, where they'd sign whoever got them a bit of exposure - and look what happened. mat rogers became the face of the titans, wendell sailor became a smug dragon and lote became an acceptable tigers winger.

code switching is a fail. the only cunt i'd pay overs for is sonny bill, and he's a wanker. so yeah.

 

[cobl04]

It's "jee-long". or "juh-long" if you pronounce it quicker.

 

[coolian2]

also, go sydney!





fuck you melby kids

 

[cobl04]

also, go sydney!

fuck you melby kids

I wouldn't wipe my ass with Sydney!

 

[coolian2]

I wouldn't wipe my ass with Sydney!

oh good, coz i was going to tell you to stick it up your ass otherwise.

 

[Axver]

Richmond, what happened! This was your chance to march into the eight!

 

[bono_man2002]

Friggin' Cobbler North! stuffed up my perfect tipping to this point.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Bahaha you picked North.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Richmond, what happened! This was your chance to march into the eight!

They only wanted to be ninth.

 

[intedomine]

They only wanted to be ninth.

Exactly, that's where we belong if we win every week, this dream won't be realised and we'll end up something like 5th or 6th, which is impossible to even comprehend!

Seriously, though. I knew this would be a danger game. Why the fuck do we have to play these matches in Darwin and Cairns? Port Power have played here yearly for the past 4 or 5 consecutive seasons, usually against Footscray. It better be for this season only, a one off, to assist in demolishing our debt.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Wait, you're going to play in Cairns as well? They have a sizeable stadium there?

Probably about twenty people will go.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh dear lord.

 

[cobl04]

I think Richmond wins if last night 's game is in Melbourne.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Fuck we're shitarse. Decided to turn up against the top teams and roll over against the duds.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I'm ashamed to be a supporter of this team, I really am. Need a new fucking coach, badly.

 

[cobl04]

What an utterly shithouse round of football.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I suppose that's pretty spot on.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Fucking Daisy.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

He teases by looking weak and twiggy but then smashes everyone in the contested ball.

 

[The Sad Punk]

One of my mates (Essendon supporter) has a huge crush on him, I really can't see why. He has no chin.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, definitely a depressing round of footy. Eagles were insipid today. But hey, good on the Lions at least!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Not good on the Lions.
