Talking Footy

They should be using money from the locals. Going outside Australia is a bad move. It's what killed Fitzroy. Kevin Sheedy can take whatever the Sydney media dishes out and turn it back on them. He is a master promoter that will make even the best NRL craftsman green with envy. I predict the Suns will make the finals in 2013, and in 2012 have a big say in who makes the finals.

tell me exactly where did Fiztroy go outside of Australia to get Killed off
I mean who knows anything really ... about gigglball outside of a few Melbourne suburbs

Naru ?

Yes, Nauru. In fact Papua New Guinea knows about AFL as well. So do New Zealand and Fiji even though they are rugby countries. As far as knowing about AFL outside of the Melbourne suburbs, have you heard of South Australian, Western Australia or Tasmania? As well as the rest of Victoria?

Naru

a giant bird turd in the middle of the pacific .............. critical to flogballs global aspirations

a Kiwi friend of mine once decribed singletball as looking like monkeys fighting over the last Banana

I said .... I know
almost everyone North of the Murray River feels the same way

Oh man Raider the Nauru setup was one of the biggest sucker punches I've seen. Poor Topper, he's only new, I hope he learns quick.

And that comment of the Kiwi on Monkeys fighting over the last banana Funny stuff. Even though I've played the sport and like it, you gotta laugh.

It was no set up. Nauru wanted to be involved. The problem was that they had no clue how much of a basket case Fitzroy was. I hope that PNG realise the same thing about the Titans. If you can't get enough support from your local region, you're stuffed.

No no my dear topper, you have it wrong once again. I was referring to the way Raiderdave set you up for the sucker punch when he questioned Nauru's involvement with Fitzroy. He's tricky that raiderdave

There was no sucker punch. I spoke facts and the comparison between Fitzroy/Nauru and Titan/PNG which is valid. If there was a punch thrown it missed wildly.

I gotta say it looked like a perfect lil setup to me. Being a man who only speaks truth I respect your facts spoken topper, but that Raider got you good there, even with your facts

Bahahaha, the PNG bid is nothing like the new AFL teams or that old dead one.

For a start, the locals want the team, we didn't ask for the new AFL teams.

2nd, the PNG government will be building a new stadium regardless if they get a team or not, it will be just like the Titans stadium surprise surprise.

And 3rdly, as was stated before, the PNG bid team are trying to get high profile pre season games to kick things off, no where have the Titans said they want to sell off Premiership games and as far as I'm concerned, the more big Pre season games taken to other areas, the better.

If the locals wanted the Titans, they would be buying memberships and attending games filling their stadium to capacity. If PNG wanted high profile games, they would be wanting the likes of Manly and Melbourne and not the Titans.

King-Eliagh, if you thought that was a set up you truly need to get out more and smell the coffee.

They had crowds of over 20k at that old AFL ground for 6 years straight you no nothing F%ckwit while every AFL game was around 10k.

And RL memberships are a new thing brought in after the Titans joined the comp.

F$ck, you really don't know anything about sport in Australia, typical dickheaded *******.

Throwball fans always seem to struggle with logical thinking like this. God love em.

funny
shouldn't the Thuns being doing that too ?

Why do you call em the Thuns?

That aside the Suns had no trouble easily getting bigger crowds than the local NRL team who had to resort to fudging crowd numbers and still came up short. No problem for the Suns in getting many more members and sponsorship dollars too, so much in fact that the Titans are off to PNG.
