that attitude might fly in that ****** infested hole you live in

the Swines are having as much success as 6 to 7 years ago

hell if it weren't for ********* ex pat Sthners in QLD .. no one would be watching the fumbling crap
I mean
does anyone who doesn't have .. or had ... a 3 as the first letter of their postcode give a flying fuck about this game ?
I say no

Re: Options for a lopsided comp
Plenty of born and bred queenlanders playing AFL on Gold Coast .. But I only live here so I wouldn't know lol. I think there is quite the union following which my son has expressed and interest . I got told by another dad (a New Zealander) whose son played rl last year to stay away from the rl comp and do union as rl full of women with no teeth and very poorly run ... Something I have heard from several dads that their sons have come over to Aussie rules . But hey, that's just my experience .

Re: Options for a lopsided comp
Oi, enough rambling you lot. What about the basketcase league? How do we stop it growing? 6 teams at 1001 - 1 to win the premiership. A seventh team at 501 -1 to win.
What the fukk is the AFL gunna do? Rest on its laurels?

Re: Options for a lopsided comp
I think the suns are growing greatly... It would appear they are destined for finals next year however they have been hit hard by injuries now . There is certainly a lot of talk around about them here and whilst they have a solid support base already when you throw in the bandwagon jumpers it will go through the roof. If anything, gold coasters are bandwagon jumpers ...

Re: Options for a lopsided comp
Yes of course Dave ... Despite that being the total opposite of me talking to heaps if parents born and bred in qld who have either always barracked for an AFL team or have started following AFL in the last few years after their sons came over to play AFL. Alongside this are interstate people. That's my actual experience ... And yep there are a heap of rl followers too and union followers. My baseball team are pretty much split between AFL and rl and one or two union folks. Most follow both rl and AFL although 1 union bloke can't stand AFL. At work, no one follows sport apart from me and a young lass from nsw who is a mad suns fan.

Here is where you respond "sure cock head" Dave or dispute the clear facts of my experience. AFL suns have a strong presence.

Well. lets see...where to start! Ok apologies in advance but for comparative value and ease of reading I must repeat your sum of the nrl comp eels.

Wow =D> =D> ... ... ... yes wow indeed, this comp is truly competitive, truly.
Now to the AFL 'competition'
5th place fremantle belted 15th place basketcaser lions by a whopping 40 points (freo were in front from 5mins to finish - check the stats and worm folks this was a snore fest http://www.AFL.com.au/match-centre/2013/12/fre-v-bl)
3rd place Essendon smashed 12th place Gold Coast by an even whoppinger 43 points (Essendon druggies were in front from 4mins in to finish - check the stats and worm folks, this was a snore fest http://www.AFL.com.au/match-centre/2013/12/ess-v-gcfc
10th place port clobbered 18th place gws by a telling 75 points (Port led from the opening bounce to final siren in this snore fest folks, check the worm and stats here http://www.AFL.com.au/match-centre/2013/12/gws-v-port
6th place Collingwood gave 14th place western bulldogs a footy lesson without even trying. They won by 34points and were in front from start to finish in this snorefest (check the worm and stats here folks, its pretty sad viewing http://www.AFL.com.au/match-centre/2013/12/coll-v-wb
There were only two other matches folks. Favourites won both of em...comfortably...
Shiiiiiiiiiiiit what on earth is the matter with the AFL comp?

Re: Options for a lopsided comp
Don't care KE, I will still follow it as will many others - the AFL will keep everyone of its 18 teams - the NRL has a very poor history of getting rid of their's (oh poor Nth Syd, Qld crushers, Hunter Mariners, Perth Reds, Adelaide Rams, Gold Coast Chargers, Newtown, Hey thats a league in itself!). GWS, Port, Saints, Melb, GC and WB here to stay!King-Eliagh wrote:eelofwest wrote:Well another round nearly complete and what a round it has been for the NRL,
