Talking Footy

To all you heathens out there who writ the Power off against the Ca Swannies last Sunday.....eat Crow!

What a great weekend of gutsy AFL footy....the Ca Swannies big noting themselves at the SCG with all those South Melbounre footballers cashing in on the festivities only to then have the lads from Alberton come across and gatecrash the festivities....the Ca Swanny supporters were tripping over themselves at 3 quarter time to leave the ground. Also 33,000 people at the game was a piss weak turnout......

And last but not least to cap off a great weekend the 'mighty' Adelaide Cows going down by 2 points against the real AFL Premiers of 2005. Again the COW supporters were also leaving when the COWS hot the front for a couple of minutes in the last term thinking their 'team' had won the game....lol!

You've got a hide calling Sydney's crowd "piss weak". Your lot can't even sellout a home final in a football state.

Yes I have a lot of hide...a city of 4 million and the AFL Premiers by default have only 33,000 at the game....had a good laugh at how that flagpole and flag came down real quick as the Power went about giving the Ca Swannies a smashing!....lol

You obviously didn't see the flag raised on top of the Members Stand at the SCG.

Well it will be another 72 years before the Ca Swannies get to see another flag like that, however by that time the club will have merged with Collingwood.....whose choking now?

Yes Grim, it was a very embarassing loss. Put simply, they were outclassed by a faster and more talented side!

The Swans winning the Flag last year was akin to an average mug punter winning lotto with the last $5 in his pocket - it has happened, but don't bet on it happening again!

Would have to concour with you on that Croc. It will be another 72 years before I will see that happen again.

Exactly how did the Lions and the Power go last season? That's right, better left unsaid hey fellas.

Much better than how the Ca Swannies will go in 2006! Choking at home at the unveiling of the Premiership Cup and flag....how embarrasing!

You cannot live in the past Beaussie - you're results from last year don't matter now.

If previous glories were on the table - surely the Lions 3 premierships in a row in 2001 - 2003 and Grand Finalists in 2004 would give me bragging rights?

Or Port's record in the SANFL over a century or their superior win/loss record of the last 4 years (including 3 minor premierships) would give Grim the edge over you.

From where I'm sitting, the Swans are travelling 0 and 2 and are no certainties against the Blues this weekend!

I also note that the Swans have blown to 24-1 premiership chances, behind both the Lions (15-1) and Port (12-1) in markets with Centrebet so it would seem several astute judges think your team is fucked this year!

Several "astute" judges last season picked the swans to win the wooden spoon.

Bragging rights go to the ones who hold the premiership I say.

Bullshit. Who picked them to win the wooden spoon?

Mike Sheahan was one and i recall many other melbourne media men saying the same. Croc you know I never lie.
